In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Freestyle silencieux” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1818 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Freestyle silencieux” meme mean?

It is the perfect picture of effort that produces nothing audible. People bring it up when someone talks and nobody listens, when a microphone cuts out mid-speech, or when a performance is lost because it was badly recorded. The humour comes from the contrast between the artist’s apparent conviction and the sound vacuum, which everyone fills in however they like. It also works as gentle teasing for badly edited videos and live streams without audio.

Where does the “Freestyle silencieux” meme come from?

The meme rests on a video in which a rapper delivers a freestyle with no audible sound. The card sums up the scene in one line: he raps, but we hear nothing. Internet users picked up the idea to describe any performance lost in silence, whether a music clip, a live stream or a speech. It shows a classic online humour mechanism: the content is empty, and the let-down expectation is what makes people laugh. The name “freestyle silencieux” became the handy label for sharing that kind of footage.

The reprints of the “Freestyle silencieux” card

The “Freestyle silencieux” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 2,378) and Epic (No. 3,905). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
