About

Rockin' With Mark 'Cus Mark Is Rockin' With Us is a catchphrase from the Netflix reality show Last Chance U: Basketball. The show features several aspiring professional basketball athletes being coached into honing their craft. The catchphrase "I'm rockin' with Mark" is uttered by coach John Mosley in the first season of the show. The catchphrase is often used by members of the African American community in reference to a white person who has earned their love and respect.

Origin

The Netflix show Last Chance U: Basketball was released on Netflix on March 10th, 2021. The sixth episode of the show showed coach John Mosley talking to a group of his trainees, saying, "You are freaking African-Americans-- plus Mark," adding, "I'm rockin' with Mark 'cus Mark is rockin' with us."

YouTuber[1] Eyekyew posted the clip on March 26th, 2021, gathering over 400,000 views in three years (seen below).

The catchphrase spread to TikTok[2] in March 2021, as seen in a post by TikToker @__j.a.h.n__ that gathered over 11 million views and 2.7 million likes in three years (seen below, left) and a post by @xyschris4[3] from March 22nd that gathered over 7 million plays and 1 million likes in three years (seen below, right).

Also in 2023, videos of OluwaMark began making the rounds on TikTok. The meme showed a happy-looking white man wearing a dashiki and dancing to afrobeat music, with the name "OluwaMark" likely being a reference to the "Rockin' with Mark" meme.
