#YouAintGotTheAnswersSwayDuring Kanye's media blitz in conjunction with his Yeezus concert, er, performance art, the rant-loving rapper went toe-to-toe with Sway over, what else? Fashion. So whenever someone's stumped over the topic (or commotion)? Don't look around; just tweet this.

#THOTChicagoans have blessed the Twitter world with an acronym that stands for That Hoe Over There (if you don't know, now you know). Er, thank you?

#AllTheseWhat could your life and inanimate objects have in common? Leave it up to Twitter to not only find a correlation but create a hilarious meme, too.

#SorryNotSorryWhich came first, the hashtag or Glee actress Naya Rivera's sarcastically sung apology to Big Sean's exes? Either way, he's proud of her, dontcha think?

#TwerkMileyTwerkJay Z's Lousiana-flavored ditty "Somewhereinamerica" sparked instant hashtag-able quotes. Didn't hurt that Miley was at prime twerk agility at the time.

#FactsOnlyAfter spewing a verbal middle finger to hashtags and retweets, Hov hopped on Twitter one 2013 summer day for an unofficial game of takeover. The Magna Carta Holy Grail magnate responded to several fans (and a few heavy-hitting friends) with nothing but the gospel in one helluva promo chess move.

#UOENORocko had a comeback in 2013 and you ain't even know it. Although Rick Ross' rapey verse semi-overshadowed the radio-ready single, this hashtag was perfect for Twitter greatness.

#YOLOWhen folks assuage the seriousness of a Walking Dead-like existence just to stop the incessant use of this acronym, it's time to throw it away along with Drake's awful sweaters.

#NoNewFriendsAn impractical philosophy turned tweetable allegiance to your Day 1's. DJ Khaled's had us all suffering from his radio spins.

#AskDrayaOne of hip-hop culture's favorite pastimes is slander. Enter 106 & Park's "bright idea" to cull questions from the Twitterverse for the show's guest – none other than reality starlet Draya, who's had a run-in with police for child abandonment.

#ByeFeliciaBack in 1995, Angela Means never imagined her best crackhead impersonation on Friday would be used for dismissive tweets. But here we are.

#AskRKellyR. Kelly's PR team whipped up a Twitter Q&A session only to dredge up Kellz's piss-spotted past. No one learned from #AskDraya, huh?

#KanyeJobTitlesThe Twitter gods can thank Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux's wit and Kanye's delusions of grandeur (but very real pretentiousness) for this one.

#HashtagRapThe overdone rap technique made popular by Ludacris and Drake (or Big Sean?) is somewhat extinct, but there's some good left in using the hashtag version.

#NewRulesJay Z's entire album promo centered around the concept of the Wild Wild West – new marketing, new business models, new… well, you get it.
