Man's Not Hot began as a 2017 freestyle by comedian Michael Dapaah performing as Big Shaq on BBC Radio 1Xtra's Fire in the Booth, before becoming a full viral single later that year. Its nonsense ad-libs, including skraaa and skrrt-pop-pop, were quoted, remixed, and clipped across social media far beyond the original track. The phrase man's not hot also became a catchphrase from the song's repeated hook. Years later, the isolated skraaa remains a shorthand meme sound for mock confidence and playful bravado online.

Clip of Big Shaq performing the skraaa ad-lib from Man's Not Hot, the viral grime parody used in comedy edits and reaction memes online today.
This clip isolates the exaggerated skraaa ad-lib from Michael Dapaah's Big Shaq performance, delivered in a deep, playful voice over a sparse grime beat. The sound stretches and rolls the syllable for comic effect, turning a throwaway vocal flourish into the punchline itself. Listeners instantly recognise the confident, over-the-top delivery, which makes even a short drop feel larger than life. It works because the timing is loose and joyful rather than polished, so the moment lands as a joke about bravado, swagger, and not taking the performance too seriously at all.
