Now, <i>that</i> is fun. Good job.<p><pre><code> To all my homies commenting in hacker news I just brought a little rhyme that it helped me do Cause when I bust all around even PG looks and every hacker here says Go orange go. And as I type this I dont know what else to do so give me a mic and Ill show you how its done Its not about being the best or simply two plus two but being a *killa* when it comes to committing code. So check out my github and star a thing or two plus fork my repos but hey, no pycon stuff And as I finish up rhymes and downvotes creep I say hola to my peeps and go back to work. </code></pre> Peace.

Needs internal rhyme. Like <a href="http://www.b-rhymes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.b-rhymes.com/</a><p>Something so key for rap is rhyming more than just one syllable.<p><a href="http://rapgenius.com/posts/1669-The-rapper-s-flow-encyclopedia" rel="nofollow">http://rapgenius.com/posts/1669-The-rapper-s-flow-encycloped...</a>

The "try hovering over the numbers on the side" bit is odd to me, if I'm going through the intro, I know what those numbers are. I ended up hovering over them expecting to get more details, and just got a label.

Quickly before I get back to work:<p>--------<p>Jazzy beats creep up in my seat,<p>My back arches low as the words start to seep<p>Straight out my mind, and down through the keys.<p>Thoughts and feelings show, so slow with the release.<p>Complementary to all the pain I hide inside,<p>I'm literally getting paid to rhyme on my boss's time.<p>Blasting words off of neuron connections,<p>A convex complexion changes all direction.<p>But that's what freestyles are for right?<p>Fleeting moments of feeling, no reason for stage fright.

Freestyle is the best part. You can generate an entire (gibberish) rap song from one line:<p>What light through yonder window breaks?<p>To be great, i'm giving it all it takes<p>Lookin' at me, now they know my face<p>Driving my car to a foreign place<p>This is no trial, this a closed case<p>I ain't looking in her eyes but her face<p>Prps cover my eight’s, uhh, lemme switch my pace<p>Pluck ya ace, take ya girl, fuck her face

The first instrumental that it played for me was "Shook Ones Pt. 2 Instrumental" by Mobb Deep, off of their Infamous album. That's in my personal top 10 list of favorite hip hop albums, and was super excited that this site somehow knew that ;)<p>On a side note, this is really clever. I love being able to quickly pull a random instrumental. The syllable counts are on point too, and it's nice that it makes you mix up the tempo of your flow.<p>Great job!<p>- edit: The landing page is great that it has a huge "Try it" button, but I actually went back to watch the video on the homepage thinking it would show me some examples, but it was some dude rapping instead. He's good, but not really my cup of tea at all. If I didn't click the "Try it" link and only clicked on the video, I would have most likely bounced.

This is awesome! The drake video on the landing page was confusing/pointless to me, and I agree with zackbloom's comment about hovering over the numbers on the side. Other than that, really great idea &#38; execution.

Oh man, I would love to see this integrated with <a href="http://www.rhymezone.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rhymezone.com/</a>. Awesome stuff!<p>Edit: just realized, double clicking on a word shows some possible rhyming words. It was a little unintuitive, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Hey, I saw you show this off at MHacks and I was deeply impressed with you then and to see that you have taken it even further is great. Good job and hopefully have a great product launch!<p>Also, I have a suggestion. You are already using emails as ids, why not use Persona?

Integrate Etherpad, give users the ability to access old revisions and collaborate on rhymes

Great job! I love this and I'd love to collaborate, I own rap.io and want to build something very similar but with more of a social twist. Hit me up if you are interested in talking. E-mail's in my profile.

Welp you made exactly what I was trying to make. Way to go!

Would love to have this build full raps that have a chorus and verses. For example - 16 bars and then a catchy hook. Really cool start, though.

I really like the Freestyle feature, but the Beat control and Shuffle options aren’t working for me in the latest Firefox 20.0 on OS X 10.6.8.

I think that should be, "Write better [Rap] lyrics".

This is awesome! Also confirms that just because I've been listening to hip-hop for the last 15 years, doesn't mean I can rap…

I feel like this is something Ben Horowitz at a16z would love haha. Also, definitely chat with the guys at Rapt.fm
trent_91about 12 years ago
I love this sort of thing. I remember playing with patternsketch.com with some friends. It's the future!

Awesome! This is fun. Any plans to introduce rudimentary recording capabilities?

Did you build this at the M-Hacks Hackathon?

Monzy would crush everyone on this thread.

"Write lyrics better" would be a better tagline than "write better lyrics", which could be taken as an insult.

I see this as just a toy. No serious artist/rapper write lyrics like this or would even attempt to.
