Two photos · 30 seconds · 4:3

# Gangsta's Paradise AI

Turn two photos into a 30-second AI video built on the viral hangar performance: one friend raps the verse, the other walks in for the final chorus, and a row of white-armored troopers raises their mics as a choir. Same 4:3 frame, same seven shots, same 1995 song bed. Upload the Rapper and the Singer, choose a resolution, and download an MP4.

**Make my video ** **See the 30s template **

Independent fan project. Not affiliated with Lucasfilm, Disney, Coolio's estate, L.V., or any label. Every output is AI-generated — label it before you post.

The format

## A two-hander, not a solo rap video

The joke only works with two people. The Rapper carries the verse from the first close-up to the final wide; the Singer stays silent in the background and only opens their mouth for the chorus at roughly 27 seconds. That contrast is the meme — not a free-form music video.

- • 30 seconds, 4:3, 24 fps, no watermark.
- • Seven fixed shots, cut at 5.8 / 11.8 / 15 / 18.1 / 23.1 / 24.2s.
- • One black handheld mic, one hand, five fingers.
- • Original 1995 song bed added after the render.

The clip below is the fan-made reference that defined the trend, not a customer output.

How it works

## From two photos to a finished MP4

**01**

### **Add two portraits**

One Rapper, one Singer. Both seats are required. The photo supplies the face, hair, skin tone, body type and clothing; the template supplies the hangar.

**02**

### **Pick a resolution**

480p is the cheap draft, 720p is the default, 1080p is a 720p master plus an AI upscale. The two 15-second halves render in parallel.

**03**

### **Download and post**

The halves are stitched on the original cuts, the 1995 song bed is muxed underneath, and you get an MP4 with no watermark — plus a silent copy if you need it.

Rapper · @Image1

## The person who carries the verse

Use a sharp, front-facing photo with the whole head in frame. This face is on screen for most of the 30 seconds, including the two tight close-ups at the start and around 16 seconds. A soft or angled photo will show up in those close-ups.

- • Front-facing, eyes to camera, even light.
- • Head and shoulders at minimum; waist-up is better.
- • No sunglasses, no heavy filter, no group photo.

Singer · @Image2

## The person who arrives for the chorus

The second photo is not a backup. The Singer walks through the background in shot two, stands beside the Rapper in shot three, and takes the final chorus at about 27 seconds. Use a separate, well-lit portrait of that person — not a crop of the first photo.

- • One person per photo, no other faces in frame.
- • Same lighting direction as the Rapper photo if possible.
- • Clothing comes from the photo; no costume is added.

Pricing

## Pay per render, not per month

Draft

HD

**22 ****credits**

720p master, then a Replicate upscale to 1920×1440.

Credits never expire. A failed render refunds automatically. There is no free trial and no subscription.

You upload a Rapper and a Singer; the site returns a 30-second, 4:3 clip with the same seven-shot structure, the trooper choir and the 1995 song bed."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which song is used, and who sang the original?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio featuring L.V., released in 1995 on the Dangerous Minds soundtrack. Coolio raps the verse and L.V. sings the chorus — that division is why the meme needs two people."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Who sings in my video?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The person in the Rapper seat performs the verse. The person in the Singer seat stays silent for most of the clip and sings the final chorus at about 27 seconds. The site does not clone either person’s voice."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How many photos do I need?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Exactly two: one of the Rapper and one of the Singer. There is no one-photo mode and no auto-filled second person. A clear front-facing portrait of each person is enough."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I use the same photo for both seats?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. The two seats are different people. Using one photo twice produces two copies of the same face and breaks the two-hander joke."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do the outfits from the photos stay?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Clothing, hair, skin tone and body type come from each photo. The template does not put either person in the original robes or armour."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does it use my real voice?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. The model is not given the song and does not clone a voice. Mouth movement follows the described performance, and the original 1995 recording is muxed back underneath after the render."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long is the video and what aspect ratio?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"30 seconds at 4:3, 24 fps. The 4:3 frame is part of the meme; it is not a vertical template with black bars."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does it cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"7 credits for 480p, 14 for 720p and 22 for 1080p. Credit packs start at 7 credits for $6.99; there is no subscription and credits do not expire."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there a free trial?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Rendering 30 seconds of video costs real GPU time. If a render fails, the credits are refunded automatically."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What happens if the render fails?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The job is marked failed and the credits return to your balance. You can retry with the same two photos; a failed render is not charged."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is the output watermarked?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. You get a clean MP4, plus a silent version for platforms where you want to add the licensed sound from their own library."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I post it on TikTok or Reels?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Download the MP4, upload it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts, and add Gangsta’s Paradise from the platform’s licensed music library. Keep the AI-generated label on. Do not re-upload the commercial recording as your own audio file."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is this official or affiliated with Star Wars or Coolio?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. It is an independent fan project.
