History Main / PissTakeRap

* The 1990 revival of Series/TicTacDough was universally panned for many different reasons, however, a few weeks into its short run, someone decided that the Dragon and Dragonslayer characters [[note]]The Dragon would wipe out all money accumulated in the bonus round, whereas the Dragonslayer would double it[[/note]] in the BonusRound should introduce themselves with a short, super-cringeworthy rap.

This attitude can be found in works from TheNineties, but in recent decades has become progressively more [[TropeBreaker Broken]]. Hip-hop has gained mainstream appeal around the world, and rappers of all hues and shades now practice it. Any enthusiast would rightly credit black artists for conceiving it, but fewer would agree that any genre can be the exclusive domain of one group. And some would object more strongly, since they have seen that even if this idea ("only black people rap") is well-intended, it too-often gets twisted by LogicalFallacy into something harmful ("''[[{{Stereotype}} all]]'' black people rap" or "black people ''only'' rap [[{{Typecasting}} and nothing else]]"). Suffice it to say this is an EvolvingTrope.

* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows'' has Count Rapula, a member of [[SitcomArchnemesis Simon the Devious']] entourage. After being introduced, he always begins a slow, stilted rap on the current situation [[TheFriendNobodyLikes until someone makes him stop]].

* In a lecture at the 2015 Edinburgh Science Festival, "Thinking Outside the Brain", Dr Peter Lamont mentioned that his occasional attempts to look younger than he was were as embarrassing as if a middle-aged, white, psychology professor were to attempt a rap. This was, of course, a lead in...

* ''Series/GLOW2017'': Rhonda, aka. Britannica creates a silly rap chorus for the show, which they use to close out their first live show for the lack of a better closer. Thonda, though, calls it speech singing "Like Rex Harrison in ''Film/MyFairLady''"

* [[Series/BreakingBad Bob Odenkirk]] does this at the beginning of the ''Series/MrShow'' episode "A Talking Junkie," not too long after he tells Creator/DavidCross that he's "from the streets" as if it's part of his culture.

* ''Series/KeyAndPeele''

* Music/{{Anthrax}} were probably one of the first to do this in the mid 80s with "I'm the Man." They would later cover/duet Music/PublicEnemy's "Bring The Noise" [[note]]the vocal track from the original version was sampled with Public Enemy's blessing, but Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian takes a verse for himself[[/note]] and cover the Beastie Boys (along with remaking I'm The Man ('91)).

* Like Eminem above, the Music/BeastieBoys are critically-acclaimed white rappers who developed a ridiculous, clownish style due to their geeky personalities and unintimidating looks. The Beasties used depraved frat-boy personas inspired by pro-wrestling {{heel}}s, because they were all extremely inoffensive-looking white nerds who could never be taken seriously as rappers otherwise. However, their music sought to parody the TestosteronePoisoning stupidity of GlamMetal rather than hip-hop, meaning black hip-hop fans had time for them as they were making fun of white people, and white rock fans could relate to the jokes. Unfortunately, they attracted a significant MisaimedFandom of real-life evil frat boys who didn't get the joke, even with the videos of them [[PieInTheFace throwing cream pies everywhere]] -- something they spent the rest of their careers attempting to reject.

* Music/{{Rush}} did one of these on the title track of their album ''Roll the Bones''. Surprisingly, that's still Geddy Lee singing, just modified to the point of being nigh-unrecognizable.

* Music/{{Beck}} has stated that "Loser" is a testament to his inability to rap.

* This trope is a staple of Roleplay/NoPixel and its many rapper characters, particularly [https://soundcloud.com/yungdabtherapper Yung Dab] (with his main issues being StockRhymes, scansion and clichés such as “My name’s [X] and I’m here to say”), though his songs are still viewed very favorably in-universe.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB8e5_hmCNY a webisode]] for ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', Kelly and Erin form a "GirlGroup" and use the Dunder-Mifflin office as a set for a music video, and Ryan [[AWildRapperAppears performs a rap bridge]] - the entire song and video is meant to be StylisticSuck, but his verse has shades of this trope, as he boasts of being "straight outta Lackawanna" [[note]]Scranton, the city ''The Office'' is set in, is in Lackwanna County, Pennsylvania[[/note]] while wearing {{Guyliner}} and an all-white suit and top hat, and inexplicably ends his verse by grabbing his crotch.
