    Internet Success

    Kreayshawn (inspired by the word "creation," apparently) is a tiny rapper based in the Bay Area who wears an 80's nostalgic, funky- bright wardrobe that will probably sweep the East Coast soon enough come summer. Her video "Gucci Gucci" was released only a week ago and already it's been watched over half a million times. The circumstances of Kreayshawn are mysterious because this is her first real hit, but she's been on the Bay Area rap scene for years, part of a fashion-rap-feminism movement that Lady Tragik is also a big name in.

    She certainly has credibility that other memes lacked. We are betting we will see more of her and it won't be in a FunnyorDie parody.
