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.

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 & 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?
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.
