Memes: 

• Roll Safe Think About It Meme - "So the first meme is a gentleman in a leather shirt who is standing outside of a store. Looks like he's on the street somewhere and he's got a nice little crisp part. He's giving very 90's New Jack City vibes... What he's doing is he's tapping on his temple and his head in a gesture that makes you think that what you're saying is like a good decision, or I thought about that."
• Conceited (the Rapper) Reaction Meme - "So the second one, it's this guy looking at the proverbial off-screen camera, so imagine The Office whenever they paused and looked at the screen... and he's pursing his lips because something that was just said does not resonate with him and he is using his face to express his displeasure, concern, question about what was said."
