History

Rap Rebirth was founded in 2008 by Jesse Kramer while studying film and business at the University of Southern California.[5][6] Initially its clients were a handful of up and coming regional rappers. In the months after its launch the site grew its client base substantially through word of mouth and online marketing.[7] The company discloses little about its current client roster, though there is speculation clients include mainstream hip-hop acts.[8]

Heart Raps and Birthday Raps

In July 2011 Rap Rebirth launched a new site called Heart Raps. The site sells custom rap lyrics to be given as romantic gifts and is targeted toward a wider consumer market.[9] The site attracts a wide range of clients including people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.[10] The site is said to be inspired by the ghostwritten love letters of Cyrano de Bergerac. Birthday Raps, a site specifically for customized birthday verses, followed in April, 2012.[11]

Rap Rebirth Corporate

In August 2011 a service geared toward enterprise clients called Rap Rebirth Corporate was launched. The site offers custom hip-hop lyrics for advertising, packaging, branding, and business presentations.[12]

gollark: ```As companies embrace buzzwords, a shortage of blockchain cryptocurrency connoisseurs opens. Only the finest theoretical code artisans with a background in machine learning (20 years of experience minimum) and artificial general intelligence (5+ years of experience) can shed light on the future of quantum computing as we know it. The rest of us simply can't hope to compete with the influx of Stanford graduates feeding all the big data to their insatiable models, tensor by tensor. "Nobody knows how these models really work, but they do and it's time to embrace them." said Boris Yue, 20, self-appointed "AI Expert" and "Code Samurai". But Yue wasn’t worried about so much potential competition. While the job outlook for those with computer skills is generally good, Yue is in an even more rarified category: he is studying artificial intelligence, working on technology that teaches machines to learn and think in ways that mimic human cognition. You know, just like when you read a list of 50000000 pictures + labels and you learn to categorize them through excruciating trial and error processes that sometimes end up in an electrified prod to the back and sometimes don't. Just like human cognition, and Yue is working on the vanguard of that.```
gollark: *was about to ask that*
gollark: I mean, if they're yours, in most cases having physical access means you can just read off all the data, password or not.
gollark: It was a joke...
gollark: I have a self-built desktop running Arch and a cheap server from Ebay running Alpine. They work quite well.
