What does the “Dreh den Swag auf” meme mean?
The phrase is used to announce switching into an exaggerated, carefree, overconfident rapper persona. Mostly it's used ironically, to gently mock someone striking a pose, or to play along with that same self-aware irony that made the original track a hit for its deadpan excess.
Where does the “Dreh den Swag auf” meme come from?
The phrase comes from the track "Dreh den Swag auf," released by Austrian rapper Money Boy in late summer 2010. It was a German cover of American rapper Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On," delivered with a deliberately off-kilter flow and an exaggerated rapper attitude. The song drew wide attention on YouTube, mostly mocking at first, before becoming a cult favorite. Its success led record label Sony Music to sign Money Boy in December 2010, just months after the track's release.
