to:

** CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER?HIGHER?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from "Dark Fantasy" (interpolated from Music/MikeOldfield's [[Music/{{Crises}} "In High Places"]]) that became the subject of a [=TikTok=] trend in 2022 where it plays over slideshows of various characters, preceded by a clip from ''Manga/OnePiece'' where Whitebeard proclaims that the titular MacGuffin exists. The meme then spread over to Twitter as the subject of a call-and-response meme, where "CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER?" is paired with "SO HIGH" and "THE ONE PIECE IS REAL" (usually written in all caps).[[/labelnote]]

Is it really worth putting out as a meme if it was that immediately discredited? It's been like a week lol


* "Donda donda donda." [[note]]The opening of ''Donda'' begins with "Donda Chant", which consists of Syleena Johnson saying the name of Kanye's mother, Donda West, on repeat.

* "'Life of the Party' is the best song Music/{{Drake}} ever released."[[note]]Kanye and Drake's feud reignited and became rather tumultuous around [[DuelingWorks the dueling releases]] of Kanye's ''Donda'' and Drake's ''Certified Lover Boy'', but one of Drake's attempts at a clapback involved leaking "Life of the Party", an outtake from ''Donda'' featuring [[Music/OutKast Andre 3000]], presumably as some kind of diss. [[InsultBackfire This was widely considered a bad move on Drake's part]] since "Life of the Party" was just as well-received as most of ''Donda'', with many claiming it to be better than the entirety of ''Certified Lover Boy''.[[/note]]
