Basic Trope: A mysterious person unexplainably appears, spits a few bars that may or may not be related to the plot, and then disappears shortly afterward. May or may not be in the form of a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.
- Straight: When Alice is wandering through a backstreet alleyway in Compton, several gangbangers surround her. While they hold her hostage, their leader comes up to Alice and spits 16 bars about what his life in the hood, and how he's enjoyed inflicting pain on others who get in their way, such as Alice.
- Exaggerated:
- Every mundane situation Alice finds herself into ends up having a random rapper appearing from somewhere to drop a few beats.
- In the middle of the Final Battle of Alice against The Infinity, a rapper comes out of nowhere and starts singing about the events that lead to this battle before disappearing as quickly as he came in.
- Downplayed: A rapper makes a few cameo appearances in the show before his number, so he's not that random.
- Justified:
- Rapping is Serious Business in this world.
- Alice is the Throw It In! for a Rap Video.
- The rapper is trying to charm his way into Alice’s pants.
- The rapper is a friend of Alice's and she knows that they would have done something like this together anyway, so she goes along with it.
- Inverted: A rapper is performing a song, and then has a famous pop singer come in and sing a few lines halfway through the performance.
- Subverted: A famous rapper shows up in the story. Everyone expects him to start freestyling at any second, but he doesn't.
- Double Subverted: ...that is until halfway through the plot, when he engages in a rap-battle against the Big Bad, who happens to be the rapper's biggest rival.
- Parodied:
- Turns out all rappers in the world started a secret, high-tech organization with the single goal of finding interesting situations in order to teleport rappers in.
- The rapper keeps showing up at various points. When he appears in the Final Battle, Alice uses him as a Human Shield against one of Evulz’s attacks.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: There are no rappers in this show.
- Enforced: Usually the point of the trope, as the rapper shows up in order to promote himself and the work he's in.
- Lampshaded: “Why are the rappers showing up at random?”
- Invoked: A rapper starts stalking Alice, having figured out that she tends to get herself into strange situations frequently.
- Exploited: While the gangbangers are distracted with their rapping, Alice uses the opportunity to sneak away.
- Defied: The police arrest the rapper before he can spit any verses, because he has pissed-off and hassled too many people around town.
- Discussed: "Oh dear lord, please don't tell me this guy's a rapper...
- Conversed: "Hey, you know what's weird? In TV shows and movies, there's always a scene where someone shows up and raps, then leaves, without any explanation." "Yeah, that's weird."
- Played For Laughs: Cray-Z Bob, a rapper and committed mental patient, keeps on escaping the ward and shows up rapping at inappropriate times.
