Social media is the home for some of the most savage commentary on the internet. But there are also some pure LOL moments—specifically folks' obsession with turning every standout moment in pop culture into an opportunity to make hilarious memes. No one is safe. Especially not rappers.

This year, we've been entertained by several waves of memes surrounding some of your favorite rhymers. From big names like Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Childish Gambino, Cardi B, Diddy, Young Thug and Lil Durk, to artists who haven't had hits in years, the internet does not discriminate and will turn any damn thing into a laughing matter, regardless of whether its origin calls for a chuckle.

In the first half of 2018 alone, we've seen Jigga get clowned again for his inability to look cool while doing anything athletic, a touching moment in Drizzy's "God's Plan" video turned into comedy gold and an innocent photo of Durk and Thugger morphed into the meme that keeps on giving. Even Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris made his way into the headlines via a hilarious meme campaign that came via a possible natural disaster.

The moral of the story is: Y'all play way too much and have zero trace amounts of chill. We've gotten all this meme gold in 2018, which will continue to deliver laughs into the new year. Check out some of the best hip-hop-related memes of the year below to get your laughs off and step up your "caption this photo" creativity.
