Ask HN: So I just bought Rap.io What should I build there?

[smallegan]

I am feeling like a fun weekend project and just picked up a cool domain (rap.io), please suggest ideas for what I should build. The one with the most votes is what I'll build!

Collaborative rap lyric writing, one line at a time.

Second post will be a line ending in "orange", and he'll be forced to close the site.

I could see this going insanely viral. For monetization, once a song is done do crowd-funded bounties for the best song/music video.

I did something like this when I was drunk, basically you paste in the lyrics of a song, and there's two text-boxes for choosing a word you want to change, and then the word you want to change.

i.e. I'm on a boat (Lonely Island) could be: I'm on a cow/goat/tree/dog

I posted the link here (when I was still under the influence) and it had XSS in it (I guess you don't care about security when you're drunk!), so when I woke up the next day I scrapped it. I'm not sure how I came up with the domain name, either: wonklyrics.com

I'd be wary of how people pronounce your domain name. My first instinct is to say RAPE-EE-OH. That obviously has a bad connotation.

I think as long as it's clear that it's a rap site, you'll be ok though.

Or it could make for a great xxx domain...I hadn't even tried pronouncing it like that!

Here is my idea. Develop a social site where users can submit the audio/video/text of their rap and others will rate/review/up-down vote them. You can allow contributors to release their rap as open source or sell them online.

Use FB/Twitter API to add social features and use Youtube API for video.

make it an alias for http://piffhop.com, which does the same thing mentioned above

Google Beatbox?

It's rap.. Thus English is not a requiement. They'll just invent a NEW word that demeans women, like "whore-ange".
