The 'Vocoded To Gangsta's Paradise' meme is a viral internet phenomenon that involves processing audio clips—often of people shouting, crying, or making strange noises—through a vocoder to match the melody of Coolio's 1995 classic hit. The trend originated on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, where the contrast between a ridiculous audio source and the somber, epic tone of the song created a hilarious juxtaposition. Visually, the meme is often represented by a still image of the subject with the iconic opening lyrics 'As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death' placed in bold text. It has become a staple of internet culture, used to turn any loud or expressive video into a rhythmic, synth-heavy tribute to the legendary rap track.
