Its not always a great result. Vocaloid wasn't built for talking and rap tends to be more talk then singing. So the Vocaloids are often "off" and don't sound right. Particular as many rps use short sounds, though the Japanese vocaloids do find it easier to i the sounds in, sometimes they end up really odd sounding. UTAU is far worst at the problems Vocaloid does with this, but you can get some really horrible results if not careful from it.

Of course, some vocaloid can do it better then others, though, so it doesn't matter. Plus a good producer can make magic, etc, etc, etc. I don't think this example quite as good as you think, but honestly I've heard really bad examples... So the contrast will always be "up" if it remotely sounds decent. But also bare in mind I'm one of those who call rap "with a captial 'c' at the beginning" ("Crap"). so I'm bias to begin with.

There was someone who asked a few years back if rap was possible for a vocaloid, if I recall it apparently really hard. Its got the same problem as screamo, its a method of applying the voie that isn't quite normal singing. And like Falsetto, Vocaloid won't necessary like it, this is why there is no rush for a screamo vocal... Minor interest aside, Vocaloid needs to be a bit more further along in development before such a attempt is possible easy.

So take a lot of this in mind. We've all seen poor VSQ slap-ins get a lot of attention and praise and its very easy to forget what makes a example worst then it is. See the V2 Kagamines as a example for their act1, you (meaning "anyone") can mistake personnel tastes for 'good'. Annd I eon't think this is the best example of rap for Vocaloid so far. If I could think of better off the top of my head, I'd link to it. :-/
