Comedy hip hop or comedy rap is a subgenre of hip hop music designed to be amusing or comedic,[1] compared to artists who incorporate humor into their more serious, purist hip hop styles.
Satirical hip hop is a variant of comedy hip hop done in a sarcastic, parodic, or deadpan way.[2][3]
Other forms of comedy rap, such as meme rap[4] and ironic rap,[4] both known for their aggressive and dark comedic approaches, achieved some mainstream success during the 2000s and 2010s. Many examples of comedy hip hop are parodic.[1]
