# Rain Drop Drop Top Rain Drop Drop Top is a snowclone catchphrase pulled from the opening bar of Migos' 2016 single 'Bad and Boujee.' In late December 2016, Black Twitter users started swapping the second half of the line for punchlines, turning a rap hook into one of the fastest-moving text templates of that winter. ## Origin Migos uploaded 'Bad and Boujee' featuring Lil Uzi Vert to SoundCloud on August 27, 2016[4], then posted the official music video to YouTube on October 31, 2016[1]. The catchphrase comes from the song's very first line delivered by Offset. The song itself is not the meme; the meme is the phrasal template that Twitter users built out of that opening couplet in mid-to-late December 2016[2]. - **Platform:** Music (source) / Twitter (viral spread) - **Creator:** Migos (song); meme originators unknown - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview The format keeps the first four words, 'Rain drop, drop top,' then swaps the rest of Migos' opening bar for a rhyming punchline of the poster's choosing[1]. The joke works because the original line, 'Rain drop, drop top, smokin' on cookie in the hotbox,' already scans as absurdly loose free-association, so any rhyming second half tends to land[2]. Tweets in the template usually target a target of playful roasting: petty personal beefs, pop-culture jabs, or self-deprecation, with the punchline forced to rhyme with 'top.' Urban Dictionary entries from the peak of the trend list examples like 'Rain drop, drop top, under your weave is a bald spot' and 'my momma slapped me with a flipflop,' which show the roast-style rhythm the format encouraged[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Rain Drop Drop Top?
