New review and more corrections
We've added a new video game review of 25 to Life as well as updated several songs throughout our database to be even more accurate. We're currently working on new translations so make sure to keep visiting the site and be on the lookout. Or if you prefer the lazy approach, join our Mailing List and be updated whenever we add a new translation.

Mailing List to be Added Soon
The staff at RapTranslations.com will be the first to admit that we're not the most frequent updaters. To alleviate this problem we're contemplating implementing a mailing list. Visitors to the site could subscribe and have a handy piece of electronic mail would then be sent to them each time a new translation is added. This would prevent fans of the site from having to frequent the website daily hoping to find new content and then being presented with the same static, unchanged page resulting in a stoop of undeniable depression and loathing. Be on the lookout and be sure to subscribe once we introduce the list to get the latest updates from your favorite rap translating site.

New trivia game coming soon...

raptranslations.com is seen on urban dictionary
Online slang dictionary Urban Dictionary has opted to place a definition of this webpage into their database. To view the definition click here . We haven't quite come to an agreement as to whether or not the definition is meant as an insult, probably due to the overall crappiness of urbandictionary.com, however we'd like to extend an invitation to Downstrike to clarify, or add to our dictionary.
