This page is a trainwreck. No offense to whoever made it, but I really don't see it as necessary to differentiate this from 'comedy hip hop'. Although Odd Future and Lil B do satirize gangsta rap at times, they have a wide range of other types of songs (including, in Lil B's case, a fair few legitimate gangsta rap songs). Also why it only includes these two weak examples, instead of say Riff Raff or Dirt Nasty, is beyond me. "Meme rap" is just a derogatory term for rappers who found their start on the Internet, such as Yung Lean and C-Reezy, and isn't really linked to satirical rap at all.Oscar666kta420swag (talk) 06:08, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep (maybe) - plenty of Eminem's early stuff is satirical and people like "Wierd Al" Yankovic had some hip hop material (all satirical). That the examples used are bad is not really a reason to delete the article. There should be enough material to support an article about this topic, even if this isn't it.
