VellmHow to make the Hotel Lobby AI rap video with a friend
By Vellm ·
The Hotel Lobby AI rap trend has nothing to do with a hotel. Two people stand on either side of a studio mic hanging in front of a bright orange wall and trade bars to the camera, lip-syncing to the Hotel Lobby sound. There is a close shot, a full-body wide shot, a point at each other, a finger to the lips, and it is over in fifteen seconds.
To make the Hotel Lobby AI rap video with a friend, you need one photo each for the Hotel Lobby Rap Duo template and no lyrics at all. It comes out as 15 seconds of vertical video (9:16) for 50 credits.
What happens, beat by beat
| Time | What you see |
|---|---|
| 0–4 s | Framed from the thighs up, the left rapper raps to the camera with both hands while the right one points at the lens. |
| 4–11 s | Cut to the full-body wide shot: both rappers head to toe on either side of the mic, trading bars and stepping with the beat. |
| 11–13 s | Back to the closer shot. They point at each other, then both put a finger to their lips. |
| 13–14 s | Both hold the shush. |
| 14–15 s | The right rapper turns to the camera with a hand at their brow, as if looking into the distance. The left one keeps the finger to their lips. |
Seven of the fifteen seconds are the wide shot, where you can see everything you are wearing. That is why the outfit matters here.
Left or right, and what to wear
Photo 1 is the left rapper, who raps first and talks with both hands. Photo 2 is the right rapper, who points at the camera and trades bars back. Both photos are required.
Each of you keeps the outfit from your own photo, so:
- Head-to-knee photos, facing the camera. Anything a photo does not show is filled in to match, and the wide shot shows you head to toe.
- Wear what you want to rap in. The original duo matched in black, which is one easy way to make it look planned.
- No sunglasses or masks, one adult per photo, two separate photos.
- Only people who have agreed to appear. No public figures.
The orange booth, the hanging mic, the camera and the timing stay the same in every version.
Generating it
Left rapper in Photo 1, right rapper in Photo 2, then generate; a one-time purchase needs no account, and it usually takes about 10–15 minutes. In the result, give the wide shot a second look. Faces are small there, and it is where you can confirm each of you kept your own face and outfit on your own side.
Want your own lyrics, or your pets?
This template recreates the trend clip as it is. If you would rather write your own verse, Rap Studio is the place for that. For two pets in the same orange booth, Hotel Lobby Cat Duo is the pet version: one raps up at the mic, the other dances beside it.
The sound and the price
The Hotel Lobby sound is half the trend, so add it inside TikTok or Reels to the silent download. The download with the original clip's sound is for personal viewing only.
A duo video is 50 credits: $6.99 with the 50-credit pack, or $4.58 each from a 600-credit pack. There is no subscription; pricing has every pack.
