MakeARap

Sample raps

Real ideas. Real raps.

Press play on any of them, then make your own.

Every sample here was made on MakeARap from a single idea: the lyrics were written and checked by the lyric engine, the music was recorded with a performer, and the stage videos show what a finished performance looks like. Press play, read the idea behind each song, then try your own.

Roast.
Roast raps tease with affection: running jokes, small disasters and a punchline on every verse.
Toast.
Toast raps are gifts: a birthday, an anniversary or a thank-you with details that belong to one person.
Explain.
Explain raps teach: a concept or a paragraph of notes turned into verses that are easier to remember.
Battle.
Battle raps give two rappers a topic and let them trade verses, round by round.

On stage

Raps brought to life with a performer, a stage and every bar on beat.

Dish Pit Royalty

Roast · The Mentor

Idea: “My roommate never does the dishes but calls himself the king of the kitchen.”

Lyric excerpt

Listen up, young one, let the Mentor speak

Your roommate's royal crown is looking weak

He calls himself the king of the kitchen, proud

But dirty dishes stack up like a crowd

Sunlight to Sugar

Explain · The Scholar

Idea: “Photosynthesis is how plants make food. Chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs sunlight. Roots take in water and leaves take in carbon dioxide through tiny pores called stomata. Inside the chloroplasts, light energy splits water and turns carbon dioxide into glucose, a sugar the plant uses for energy. Oxygen is released as a by-product.”

Lyric excerpt

Chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs sunlight,

That's how plants make food, and they make it right.

Leaves take carbon dioxide through pores so small,

Stomata; roots take in water, that's all.

Laziest Roommate Showdown

Battle · The Mentor vs The Firestarter

Idea: “Who is the laziest roommate?”

Lyric excerpt

Mentor in the booth, so who's the laziest roommate? See

Firestarter's fridge raids, that's a crime scene to me

Wisdom hits different, I tell you what I know

You eat all our food, then you're too full to go

Maya's Quarter Century

Birthday · The Comedian

Idea: “My best friend Maya turns 25 today. She is always late, owns 40 plants and still cannot cook pasta.”

Lyric excerpt

Yo, it's Maya's day, my best friend turns twenty-five

Late again, but she's here, so the party's alive

Forty plants in the place, she's got leaves everywhere

But her pasta's a crime, what a mess in there
