Battle · The Mentor vs The Firestarter
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.

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

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.”
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.


Battle · The Mentor vs The Firestarter
Idea: “Who is the laziest roommate?”
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

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