Tez2 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 On October 22, 2020, Take-Two Interactive registered the aforementioned domain called "rapponator.com". The name bears a resemblance to Beaterator, a music mixer, developed by Rockstar Leeds. Rapponator is likely a newer music mixer in development by Rockstar in collaboration with certain music artists. Remarkably, Dr.Dre was featured briefly in the Cayo Perico Heist update for GTA Online, signaling a possible long-term collaboration with Rockstar. mussefar03, Rev.

Spider-Vice Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 While googling for the name: https://www.reddit.com/r/rapponator Likely just securing the name as I'd assume if this is a new Beaterator, tracks would be uploaded to RGSC. Interesting find. But could also be something else entirely tbh. eejyool, WELLGAMER789, Tez2 and 5 others 8 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/972973-rapponator/#findComment-1071567851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the cameo scene Dr.Dree was featured in GTAO, the car that has a lot of his music demos is stolen. This is likely Rockstar setting the stage for Rapponator.

They own celebinator.com and rhymerator.com as well, with the former being registered in 2009. Celebinator was a character in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It's possible Rapponator is a character in the next Grand Theft Auto title or in GTA Online. Speaking of domains, they registered "bowndetector.com" around the same time last year. Bowndetector seems like a play on Downdetector.com which is a free service used to check whether or not a server is online. The word "bown" is mainly a Scottish phrase.

Kirsty Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I guess we can't get too far ahead of ourselves, since it could be anything that Take-Two own, however since there is already a Reddit sub maybe we'll hear more about whatever this is in the very near future.

BS_BlackScout Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Take-Two could have simply not put "Take-Two" on the subreddit private description thing. Fail...

Spider-Vice Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 That subreddit might not be official and whoever registered it just added "Take-Two". From the same google search I made earlier... The person who registered the Urban Lion Den (another domain found ages ago, from 2K though*) subreddit was a mod of this sub according to Google's cached meta description (notice the "and 8 more" part, which is now only "and 7 more"). Their own subreddit for ULD also says "by take-two" because of the domain belonging to them. It's possible T2 asked for it to be given, but I don't see why that wouldn't have happened with ULD then. *You can see it's a site by 2K because of the SSL certificate. Rockstar certs are signed to themselves in NYC, ULD is signed in Novato to 2K, so it's 100% 2K related.

docpain222 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This is all very interesting. My guess is we can rule out if its for this next dlc or for the next gta game in the July. Raponator would fit well with a tuners dlc imo. If not for this dlc, I can see it being used for the next game more so... but just speculation. eejyool 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/972973-rapponator/#findComment-1071567975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 In-game domains for GTAO DLC's are registered in real life too, so there is still a chance both could be for that. As to why they were registered so early - who knows, perhaps delays and such. Music Locker and Diamond Casino were also registered a few months in advance but not this long. We'll be patiently waiting to see if it's even anything. eejyool, Yannerrins, TheWhiteHat and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/972973-rapponator/#findComment-1071567986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Vice Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Right, so just as I expected the subreddit wasn't taken down by T2 but rather withheld by the subreddit creator because they didn't know what it was, but just in case, and they just left the description saying "Take-Two". It kinda looked like their MO with the Urban Lion Den subreddit (which is a 2K thing) so yeah.

Zello Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I think Rapponator may have to do with something in NBA 2K https://nba.2k.com/courtside-report/nba-2k22-features-update-1/ Quote HIDDEN TALENTS [PS5/XBS] - In NBA 2K22, dreams and ambitions in MyCAREER stretch beyond the hardwood floors; players can now pursue side ventures to build a profile in lucrative and trendy spaces. Brush up against the fashion world, where the art of promotion will drive your success as a mogul. Or get involved in the hip-hop business, where your music talent opens up an intriguing lane in the industry. They've already had a beat maker in previous games maybe this is an expansion on that.
