Xzibit Yo Dawg nested function, catchphrase, image macro, celebrity, rap, mtv, twitter, hiphop, pop-culture <h2>Origins</h2> Xzibit is the host of the MTV show <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007KIFKU?ie=UTF8&tag=rocketboom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0007KIFKU">Pimp My Ride</a> and is well known for putting awesome things like <a href="http://www.tv.com/pimp-my-ride/antwons-mitsubishi-mirage/episode/321701/summary.html?tag=ep_guide;ep_title;4">fishtanks</a>, <a href="http://www.tv.com/pimp-my-ride/ryans-volkswagen-bus/episode/375393/summary.html?tag=ep_guide;ep_title;2">clothes dryers</a>, and even <a href="http://www.tv.com/pimp-my-ride/erins-chevy-blazer/episode/380493/summary.html?tag=ep_guide;ep_title;4">fireplaces</a> in the back of your car. Pimp. The “Yo dawg” or “Sup dawg” image macro first appeared on the ’chans in early 2007 and experienced a resurgence in late 2008 on Reddit, Tumblr, and other mainstream forums & blogs. It follows a simple format: <blockquote> Standard: {yo,sup} dawg, I herd you like X, so I put an X in your Y so you can VERB while you VERB Repetitive: {yo,sup} dawg, I herd you like X, so I put an X in your X so you can X while you X Abstract: {yo,sup} dawg, I herd you like X, so I put an Y in your Z so you can VERB while you VERB </blockquote> <h2>Media</h2> The following image is widely considered the original image macro: <img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/177/original/800px-Sup_dawg.jpg" alt="" /> The photo used in the original macro is from <a href="http://www.superiorpics.com/event/Gridiron_Gang_Film_Promotion/index3.html">this promo photoshoot</a> for the movie “Gridiron Gang” <h2>Trending</h2> “yo dawg” (blue), “sup dawg” (red) <img src="http://google.com/trends/viz?q=yo+dawg,+sup+dawg&date=ytd&geo=all&graph=weekly_img&sort=0&sa=N" alt="" /> <h2>Nesting, recursion</h2> The Yo Dawg image macro has a unique characteristic in being recursive. This multi-layered structure in the Yo Dawg formula makes it reminiscient of the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_loops>“strange loops”</a> described in Douglas Hofstadter’s <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach>Gödel, Escher, Bach</a>. <h2>Xzibit’s reaction</h2> The explosive popularity of microblogging service Twitter has reached celebrities, Xzibit included. In one of his first tweets he decries his embodiment as a meme: <a href=http://twitter.com/mrxtothaz/status/1260527355> View Tweet </a> …which led to the creation of this image macro: <img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/system/photo/image/788/widget_chisjweY9dhkLeIEaQPuEL.jpg"></img> Several days later, he rescinded his criticism, saying “i’m not mad @ you”: <a href=http://twitter.com/mrxtothaz/status/1265979909>View Tweet</a> In the final stage of celeb-o-meme — “acceptance” — Xzibit embraces the yo dawg, attempting to his own: <a href=http://twitter.com/mrxtothaz/status/1266000157>View Tweet</a>
