  1. This looks stupid and intriguing at the same time. I like that these guys don’t take themselves serious – but there also seems to be some interesting AI going on in this app.

    Going to have to download it – I’m wondering if this can be abused creatively.

  2. Tools are tools. They’re not substitutes for good ideas, they just give you more options. Auto-rap isn’t going to turn you into a rapper, but it does offer a potentially interesting tool for processing audio. I’m curious what it does to instruments or complete mixes.

  3. It is so great that someone has made an app to take the drudgery out of producing rap. Now I will be able to spend more time in the strip clubs.

  4. The concept is cool, the realization is well done. But seriously it’s just like T-pain effect app : it’s useless but it does allow everyone to get swamped a little more into stupid commercial music. That’s not with such apps that people will eventually get interested in real musics composed by real musicians.

  5. This will revolutionize future YouTube videos of potential new Soulja Boys 🙂
    Gonna download it it process Einstürzende Neubauten’s “MoDiMiDoFrSaSo” song through it. I expect nothing less than to be completely mindblown and accidently discover a new genre.

  6. Someone essentially help to make seriously articles I’d state. This is the very first time I frequented your website page and so far? I surprised with the research you made to make this actual publish amazing. Excellent activity!
