Whether it’s a Kanye cover of Astronaut in The Ocean or Eminem rapping about something he never realistically would, you will have noticed a number of videos on TikTok recently that sound eerily like your favourite rappers, yet very much computer-generated at the same time – and it’s all down to the TikTok AI rap generator. Basically, you can put any text you like into the machine and it will spit it out in a MASSIVE range of voices from Patrick Stewart to Elton John.

However, it’s not that easy to understand how to even find the tool. So, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own AI rap voice using the TikTok AI rap generator.

How do I use the TikTok AI rap generator?

So, you’ve become enraged searching “TikTok rapper generator” or “TikTok Eminem voice” and still getting no results? Well, luckily we’ve laid it out as easily as possible:

If you don’t already have one, create a Discord account. It takes seconds and you’ll only need to verify the account through your email address.

Now you can start having fun. Enter whatever text you want into the “Speech to synthesize” box. Then select the voice you want to use from the dropdown menu on the right.

And that’s it – there’s also the option to download the voices for any project you might want. Enjoy!

If you’ve ever dreamed of making songs with Tupac or Jay-Z, an AI tool called Uberduck can take you close to fulfilling your fantasies.

Uberduck is one of a range of tools that lets you choose a celebrity voice and then enter text for them to speak. What sets it apart from the others is it can do a pretty impressive job of replicating a rapper’s flow.

You can synthesize speech into a “calm” or “intense” Tupac verse, for example, or try an Eminem “freestyle” verse or “pre-Eminem Show” flow.

Uberduck’s creator says they started working on the system with the goal of creating an open-ended dialog agent:

I built an interactive audio chatbot over WebRTC that generated text responses with a Transformer model and synthesized them to audio, but I found that speech synthesis was the most exciting part of the project.

The tool blew up on TikTok after a lawsuit forced the app to swap its text-to-speech voice for a different version. Many users were unimpressed by the replacement and made the switch to Uberduck.

They’ve gone on to use the tool in a range of creative ways, from adding Biggie verses to their own tracks to making Kanye West rap the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Even Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has tried it out:

If you’d rather have a conversation with your favorite MC — or force them to give you a shout-out — that’s also possible.

The synthesized voices are far from perfect, but with tweaks to the text — adding extra vowels, for instance, to extend a syllable — you can generate some pretty accurate imitations of your favorite rappers. I’m pretty proud of these Tupac bars I created:

To my ears, the voice is more convincing than the Faux-Pac from this classic Dave Chappelle skit:

The tool does, however, have some potential to be used for disinformation and defamation.

Uberduck’s terms attempt to allay these concerns. Users are prohibited from using the outputs for commercial purposes or the production of defamatory material. They must also clearly identify that their creations were generated by AI, and will be banned if they violate the rules. In addition, the tool’s inventor says they’ll remove voices from the site upon request.

Putting words into a replica of someone’s voice without their permission could also be viewed as disrespectful, but these feel more like impersonations than recreations.

## Uberduck uses AI to make MF DOOM, Tupac, Biggie and more sing your lyrics

A new free AI text-to-speech service, Uberduck, enables you to hear rappers, cartoon characters and celebrities recite your text.

Uberduck lets you choose voices from a range of categories – the Rappers category includes MF DOOM, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G, Snoop Dogg, Juice WLRD, Eminem, XXXTENTACION and more. Alternatively, you can browse categories and voices that include Donald Duck, Spongebob Squarepants, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Yoda, and hundreds of other voices that have been modelled by users.

According to Uberduck’s site, the creator started work on the “speech toy” in 2020 with “the goal of creating a friendly, creative, open-ended dialogue agent”. The service has begun cropping up on TikTok videos after the app changed its text-to-speech voice. A voice actor claiming to be the original voice of the text-to-speech service filed a lawsuit after claiming she never agreed to be featured in TikTok.

Users are now flocking to Uberduck as a replacement voice generator for their videos. Naturally, this has resulted in some entertaining ‘covers’. Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda published a video of Notorious B.I.G singing his track Happy Endings.

To use Uberduck, you’ll need to sign into the service using your email or Google account, but the process is straightforward once you’re in. Simply choose your voice and type the desired text into the box below and click ‘Synthesize’. It might take a minute or so depending on the amount of text you input, but you’ll soon be able to listen to and download the isolated AI vocal.

You’ll likely notice some algorithmic glitching in the vocal – the AI doesn’t quite get it perfect. But Uberduck is a glimpse of how eerily close we are to replicating voices of late rappers and celebrities, for better or worse.

## Lyric Generator Online Can Now Make Rap Songs | Here's How to Use It

(Photo : Screenshot From Pexels Official Website) Lyric Generator Online Can Now Make Rap Songs | Here's How to Use It

Lyric generator online through a particular tool called DeepBeat can help users make rap songs in seconds. DeepBeat is a machine learning algorithm that works by mining large amounts of data in order to create rap lyrics.

How to Make Rap Lyrics

For those aspiring rappers out there that might need help when it comes to their pen game, this could be good news. Researchers from Finland have finally been able to make a rap writing AI called DeepBeat which is now available for anyone to use online. DeepBeat reportedly gets rap lyrics from data coming from preexisting rap songs.

As of today, the database gets its lyrics from 641,000 lines and about 12,500 songs which are produced by over a hundred artists in both Finnish and English. The artists include US rap icons Lil Wayne, Sage Francis, and even Jay-Z. Sadly, the lyric generator is not yet available in other languages as of the moment.

How do you make rap rhymes?

DeepBeat was initially only available for certain research purposes and was developed by the Department of Computer Science researchers at the Aalto University and even the University of Helsinki, and even the Helsinki Institute of Information Technology. Eric Malmi, the lead developer and a researcher at the department of computer science over at the Aalto University noted that the aim is to be able to produce lyrics that both rhyme and also fit together quite well.

Malmi noted that they have published DeepBeat online for everyone to try the rap generator or lyric generator in order to create lyrics. The rap generator is said to use a whole new rap verse through a combination of rhymes coming from existing songs, according to the story by Vice.

Free Rap Lyrics

Users can ask the rap generator to give a number of options for them to choose which rhyme would fit them the best. Users can also input their very own rhyme somewhere at the beginning of a verse and make the program generate a verse that would match it. During the project's early stages, the researchers were able to create the rap song with a US rapper and DeepBeat.

Since the lyric generator is already public, Malmi noted that he was excited to see what people would use the rap generator for as well as how the feedback could help improve the algorithm. Malmi noted that when they initially published the paper, people stated it would be fun to write a simple rap song for a birthday party or something else. This is why they wanted to make DeepBeat publicly available.

Although Malmi does not really want to pull the plug on certain user's rap star dreams, he then explains that there will be a few technical hiccups. The rap generator tends to mash certain rhymes together that still don't make sense. So far the rhyme options have not yet been perfected.

## Watch AI Eminem diss the patriarchy in new music video

Eminem has an illustrious history of rap battles, but his controversial insults can infuriate sensitive listeners.

In recent weeks, a TikTok campaign called for Em to be “canceled” for glorifying violence against women in his single “Love the Way You Lie.”

Inevitably, Marshall Mathers fired back with a diss track taking aim at his critics. But he could surely find some more deserving adversaries than TikTok teens.

A new AI music video gives the rapper a more progressive target for his ire: the patriarchy.

The track was created by Calamity Ai, the same group who used bots to produce a new song for Hamilton and a previous Eminem diss of Mark Zuckerberg.

The team penned their latest lyrics using ShortlyAI, a text-generator powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3.

They prompted the system to spit out a verse based on the following cue:

Eminem’s new song is a diss against the patriarchy. He is taking a stand to males and sticking up for women. Verse #1:

They then sent the lyrics to 30HZ, a self-professed creator of “synthetic parody songs and other poorly written material.” The producer synthesized the audio and converted the words into vocals.

And just in case Slim Shady needed back-up, the team generated a guest verse by another unlikely defender of women’s rights: Kanye West.

I’m pretty impressed by Em’s synthetic voice, although the lyrics are hit and miss at best.

He reserves most of his vitriol for producer Rick Rubin, a surprising choice given the litany of musicians accused of sexual abuse.

Still, Em comes across as refreshingly contrite when he discusses “the consequences when I spit poetry,” which he says are worth the risk if he “silences some men.”

Kanye West’s artificial voice is less convincing, and his verse isn’t going to get any lyrical awards. He does offer an apology to Taylor West, but begins it with a typically sexist, “Yeah, bitch.”

The track will hardly shake up the patriarchy, although the lyrics are still sharper than, say, Lil Pump’s.

But could the AI Eminem win a rap battle against its human counterpart? I doubt it, but the showdown could help make Marshall relevant again.
