Smule is on fire. Just take a look at the work these guys have done since their 2008 launch: $25.5 million in funding, more app releases than I can keep up with and a pretty sweet acquisition.
And the latest app, AutoRap, is seeing some incredible early success. After less than a week on the App Store, AutoRap has seen over 2.5 million downloads with over 12 million raps created.
Yes, raps. Like, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Eminem style raps.
Like many of Smule’s offerings, the app takes your spoken word and autotunes it, corrects the rhythm and helps with rhyming to turn your boring monologue into a badass rap. You can choose from lesser known songs which are free, or buy a set of “plays” through an in-app purchase to lay down some mad beats over a song that’s more popular, like “Drop It Like It’s Hot” or “California Love.”
We couldn’t resist simply writing about the latest statics without playing pretty extensively with the app, which has led to rap versions of these very famous posts. Check it out:
