"U MAD?", sometimes written as "you mad?" or "u mad bro?", is a catchphrase that is often used in discussion threads to imply that someone is losing their temper during the course of an argument, sometimes taunting or baiting other posters into a flamewar. Due to the agitating nature of the phrase, it is often considered a form of trolling.

The phrase "You mad, 'cause [I'm better than you]" is a dissing technique found in the context of hip hop music, with its roots in freestyle battling. The phrase can be often heard on "diss tracks" or songs primarily intended to disparage or insult others (example shown below, left). The first image macro using the phrase featured the Harlem-based rapper Cam'Ron pointing off camera with the overlaid text "YOU MAD." The still image came from a segment on the Bill O'Reilly Show (shown below, right) where Cam'Ron appeared with producer Damon Dash to debate whether or not rap was harmful to children in November 2003.
