Rap Lyrics Generator

An LSTM implementation for a Rap Lyric Generator that spawns rap lyrics based on a Kaggle dataset with over 38,000 lines.

In order to run the Generator, the following must be done after getting into the Generator's working directory:

1. Unzip the dataset through the two following commands:

sudo apt-get install unzip

unzip lyrics.csv.zip

2. Train the LSTM network through the following command:

python train.py

3. Generate new lyrics through the following command:

python run.py -s <seed>

The 'seed' parser argument can be replaced for anything, such as a word, phrase or line. It is simply the starting point of generating the text.

The features of the Rap Lyrics Generator include:

• Ability to create lyrics based on a seed
• Generates 1000 character lyric outputs
• Trains efficiently
• Utilizes rap lyrics from various artists, such as Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar, to learn

The Rap Lyrics Generator requires the following to be installed on the system:

• Python 3
• Tensorflow
• Keras
• Numpy
• Pandas
