==Story==
The RAPMEN have gained fans across many age groups with their relatable lyrics. They appear in an [[Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu#とあるラジオ番組 (A Certain Radio Program)|interview]] on the radio, where the red one talks all cool and casual-like, while the yellow one is a little bored, as he doesn't need to speak on the air<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage04.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ４] (Character Album Stage 4)</ref>.

The RAPMEN are revealed to be [[Racing Fans]], and they appear on a poster advertising the [[Battle of the Bands]]. The phone number listed on said poster appears to belong to them, as dialing {{Nihongo|(555) ROCK-OUT}} into the [[Phone]] has the RAPMEN pick up.


The yellow rapper is a much larger man. He has the same white shirt, but it has a zero on it rather than a one. He also wears blue pants and always has his eyes closed.
The RAPMEN appeared at [[Live House OGU]] as the opening act before [[The Love Posse]] feat. [[MC Adore]] perform their anticipated new single "[[Love Rap]]". They also appear in framed pictures in the [[Weasel Couple]]'s home, along with [[Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon]]'s.
==Story==
Upon perfecting Rap Men in Rhythm Tengoku, you get an email called "Rap Report." This email is a transcript of an interview between the Rap Men and "DJ MAN-K," which may be referring to the monkey variation, [[MAN-K]].


The interview starts off describing the new hit single released by the Rap Men, but drama quickly ensues. The Rap Men discuss a new rip-off group, called the [[Rap Women]]. It's revealed that the Rap Women have been secretly stealing snacks from them in their dressing room. They were left a note that said: "Secret snacking is the BEST!", a reference to a line that the Rap Women say in their respective game. 
They make a cameo among the [[Racing Fans]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'' [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#33レスラーとファン (Wrestler and Fans)|33レスラーとファン]] (Wrestler and Fans), where several silhouettes of the [[Racing Fans]] form a crowd outside of the Rhythm Arena.

    • Story

    The RAPMEN have gained fans across many age groups with their relatable lyrics. They appear in an interview on the radio, where the red one talks all cool and casual-like, while the yellow one is a little bored, as he doesn't need to speak on the air[3]. Their rivals, the Rap Women, not only stole the RAPMEN's popularity, but also their snacks[4].

    The RAPMEN are revealed to be Racing Fans, and they appear on a poster advertising the Battle of the Bands. The phone number listed on said poster appears to belong to them, as dialing (555) ROCK-OUT into the Phone has the RAPMEN pick up.

    The RAPMEN appeared at Live House OGU as the opening act before The Love Posse feat. MC Adore perform their anticipated new single "Love Rap". They also appear in framed pictures in the Weasel Couple's home, along with Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon's.

    They make a cameo among the Racing Fans in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 33レスラーとファン (Wrestler and Fans), where several silhouettes of the Racing Fans form a crowd outside of the Rhythm Arena.
