Absolutely dope! Folks immediately took advantage of the website and have been posting photos showing where they are Straight Outta from. BUT you knew eventually the internet would find a way to spin it around and find some humor out of this. CB4’s MC Gusto, The Obamas, Tyrone the crackhead, Pookie from New Jack City, hip-hop’s current punching bag Meek Mill and even Prince found themselves “Straight Outta” or out of something.  Hit the gallery below to see internet’s creativity on full display.
