Straight Outta Chill:  Memes Inspired By A New Hip-Hop Film

With Twitter already on fire with memes of rapper Meek Mill, social media is certainly "Straight out of Chill"—and proving it with their hilarious use of the new meme generator.

A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." Memes, which are taking over social media, express exactly how you feel and add a personal but very relatable touch.

Beats by Dre and the "Straight Outta Compton" campaign, the story of the rap group N.W.A., created an innovative way to publicize the already heavily-anticipated movie.The R-rated film brings us to the controversial and harsh reality of what it was like living in Southern Los Angeles in 1988. It follows their story to stardom and their impact on culture.

The generator allows consumers to attach a photo and add where you are from to the popular movie logo using the Straight Outta Somewhere website. Of course, in true Twitter fashion, Tweeters used the opportunity to ridicule a few celebrities and create all sorts of funny pictures. An ode to the neighborhoods quickly turned into a vessel to fire shots at some unexpected targets.


The response of the generator exceeded the expectations of the creators, and the memes have hit over 100,000 posts on Instagram. Either way, the brand is receiving the recognition it wanted right before the movie hits theaters on August 14, 2015. The strategic move has made the movie the talk of the town, and has shown us how much social media is the perfect platform for interactive advertisement.



While the Internet had a field day with the generator, we will all continue to anticipate the film. With names such as Dr. Dre and Ice Cube associated, I'm sure the film will not disappoint. Just for fun, here are a few more memes.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
