The world is still abuzz with President Obama’s one-liner at the State of the Union last night, and justifiably so. It was a truly magnificent moment where a guy who has spent the last six years trying to be polite, and finally started getting real.
“I know because I won both of them” has become more than just a meme: it’s a way of life. And nobody knows this better than the collective known as “the Internet.”
As such, many enterprising YouTubers have gone to work today mashing up Barry O with the finest in 1990s hip hop. And the result? Masterpieces, all.
At the risk of running this meme into the ground, take a look at some of the finest #ThugLife videos above.
