I wish there was some real rapping to go with that demo

Yeah, that would be pretty helpful.

It would be nice to hear a few bars at the beginning to show how it all comes together and then let the me go at it from there.

I also think, this would be a great bar game that could be played on the now ubiquitous smart-tv's as a counterpoint to karaoke.

I'm actually building in something similar to what you suggest, I'm calling it party mode.

Basically you pull up Rap Coach on any device, enter party mode, and then a party URL is displayed on the interface. Anyone can go to that URL and pick a beat and topic and add it to the playlist. At the end of each song it announces the next person.

So kinda like karaoke without needing a KJ. We're planning to host live Rap Coach events once that's in place.

Me too! Right now I'm doing everything except the music, and it's a lot of work, but I am planning to film a lot of videos of people freestyling with Rap Coach.

The current videos are pretty much placeholders, but I do think they give a decent idea of what the app is about.
