Had To Do It To Them is a background trait in the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, depicting the sidewalk on Capitol Drive in Tampa, Florida, made famous as the location of the "You Know I Had to Do It to Em" internet meme.
Background
On September 2, 2014, Lachborne Bachraz — known online as Lucky Luciano — posted a photograph of himself posing on a suburban sidewalk in Tampa, captioned "You know I had to do it to em." The image, which showed Bachraz smiling in a preppy pink outfit with his hands folded, spread widely as a reaction meme after going viral in 2016, used to convey a sense of swagger or self-satisfaction.[1]
The specific sidewalk at 14304 Capitol Drive became a destination for internet users traveling to Tampa to recreate the pose, and was listed as a landmark on Google Maps before local residents had the listing removed. The meme's format — a person posing confidently in an unremarkable suburban setting — and its specific location became sufficiently culturally embedded that the site functions as a kind of internet heritage location.
