How to Make a Rap About Yourself (or Someone Else)

Short answer: To make a rap about yourself, pick three facts, find rhymes for each, write 8 bars, and read them aloud over a beat. If you want video, upload a photo to RapVideo, type a topic up to 120 characters or paste your own bars, and get a 12-second vertical AI rap video.

How do I write a rap about myself in 5 steps?

1. Pick three facts. Your name, where you are from, and one thing you love. Small and specific beats big and vague.
2. List rhymes. Write the last word of each fact and a few words that sound like it.
3. Write two lines per fact. Two lines that end with rhyming words make a couplet.
4. Read it aloud. If you run out of breath, cut words.
5. Add a closing line. End on your name or a joke.

What does 8 bars look like?

Here is an original example, written for this guide:

• I wake up early, coffee on the side,
• Plans in my pocket and nothing to hide.
• Small town roots but the dreams are wide,
• Every little win I take in stride.
• I cook for friends and I fix your bike,
• Say what you want, I do what I like.
• Hit the beat, let the whole room hear,
• That is my name, and I am right here.

Swap in your own facts and it becomes yours. Notice that every line is about something real, which is why it sounds personal.

What should I rap about if I am a beginner?

Start with things you know well.

• Your job or school day.
• Your hometown or neighborhood.
• A hobby, a pet, or your favorite food.
• A funny habit your friends tease you about.

How many bars is a verse?

A typical verse is 16 bars, but a short clip needs far fewer. RapVideo videos are 12 seconds, so aim for 4 to 8 short lines, or about 300 characters, which is the limit for pasted lyrics.

How do I make a rap about someone else?

Use the same recipe with their facts instead of yours: a name, a trait, a shared memory. Keep it kind. For a gift, the birthday rap song page is built for it. If you want playful teasing, start with rap battle roasts and keep it friendly.

Only upload photos of people who agreed to be in the video, and get a parent or guardian's consent for anyone under 18.

Let AI rap it on video

You do not need to perform it yourself. On RapVideo you have three sounds:

Sound	What you provide	What you get
AI verse	A topic up to 120 characters	An original clean rap in the language of the topic
Your lyrics	Up to 300 characters of your bars	The lead performs your words
Beat only	Nothing	An original instrumental while the duo vibes

We do not support uploading a recorded audio file. If you already have a song, you can add it as a sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post. Read about your own song for the options.

The AI rapper page is the best place to start. A rap video is 12 seconds and costs 6 credits at 480p or 10 at 720p. Check pricing for packs, and remember there is no free preview.

Tips to make it sound better

• Use short words at the end of lines; they rhyme more easily.
• Repeat one phrase as a hook so it feels like a song.
• Keep it clean and kind, since the AI writes clean raps and refuses harassing topics.
• Write in the language you want to hear; the AI raps in the language of your topic.
