{"id":"joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap","name":"Joseph Ducreux","summary":"Joseph Ducreux / Archaic Rap is an image macro pairing an 18th century French self-portrait with rap lyrics rewritten in verbose faux-Shakespearean English. The format took off on 4chan in 2009 after someone captioned the painter's smug grin with 'Disregard Females, Acquire Currency', a period-style rewrite of a Notorious B.I.G. lyric[5]. It became one of the earliest image macros to make translation itself the joke.","tags":["joseph ducreux","archaic rap","4chan meme","image macro","disregard females acquire currency","rap meme","meme generator"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":5,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap-ducreux-full-self-portrait.webp","caption":"Joseph Ducreux's 1793 self-portrait, the original painting behind the 'Archaic Rap' meme.","width":590,"height":775,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap-buscemi-ducreux-faceswap.webp","caption":"A well-known face-swap variant of the Ducreux portrait featuring Steve Buscemi, used as a base for later Archaic Rap remixes.","width":500,"height":658,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap-close-the-copulation-upward-donald.webp","caption":"An Archaic Rap variant using the Buscemi face-swap, rendering a modern catchphrase in mock-18th-century English.","width":587,"height":773,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap-fornicate-with-it-ninepins.webp","caption":"Another Archaic Rap example on the Buscemi-Ducreux face-swap template, translating modern slang into mock-18th-century English.","width":587,"height":773,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap-smallest-violincello-serving-wenches.webp","caption":"An Archaic Rap-style rewording of the sarcastic 'world's smallest violin' expression, using the Buscemi-Ducreux face-swap.","width":455,"height":600,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/joseph-ducreux-archaic-rap/history.md","related":["cool-story-bro","insanity-wolf","60s-spider-man","derp","how-about-i-slap-your-shit","xzibit-yo-dawg","roll-safe","ancient-aliens","o-rly","wednesday-frog","what-if-i-told-you","ermahgerd"],"popularityRank":2854,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
