Pressing the A button makes the yellow one go "Unh!" (The three cues are the "Isn't it?" as "Unh!" once, "Could it be?" as twice and "THE BEST!" as "Unh!" twice again but faster)

==Trivia==
* The idea of blue for boys and pink for girls applies with the backgrounds of Rap Men and Rap Women.
*The [[RAPMEN]] appear in the [[Rhythm Toy]] [[Rap Machine]].
* The Rap Men makes a cameo appearance in the [[Freeze Frame]] minigame in [[Rhythm Heaven|''Rhythm Heaven'']], along with the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|Clappy Trio]], the [[Space Dancers]], and 3 [[Monkey|monkeys]] from [[Tap Trial]]. There, they gather as a crowd watching the race and blocking the view of the cars for the camera man.
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the [[RAPMEN]] can be seen on the [[Battle of the Bands]] flier.
* In [[Rhythm heaven|''Rhythm Heaven'']], beating all the minigames unlocks "[[Battle of the Bands]]". On the flier, you can see sprites of both Rap Men.
*The [[RAPMEN]] make another cameo at the end of [[Love Rap]] and [[Love Rap 2]], appearing as two framed pictures on the wall.
* Also on the flier, you can find a number, which is: 555-ROCK-OUT. If you call this number on the Rhythm Toy "[[Phone]]", you can hear the same music as the original game had. You can also hear the red guy saying "Yo" and "Havin' fun". And you can hear the yellow one say "Unh!" repeatedly.
==Development History==
* In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', getting a [[Perfect]] ranking on [[Love Rap 2]] unlocks an article. It mentions that there are two twin quasars, called RAPMEN. Well, despite the fact they are definitely not twins.
