The Rapmaster Rocketship is the spaceship of Toejam and Earl, two alien rappers from Funkotron.
Is is also sometimes reffered to the Rapmaster Rocket and the Righteous Rapmaster Rocket Ship.
Description[]
The Rapmaster Rocketship is bulbous in shape and orange in colour. The large, circular transparent viewscreen can be opened on a hinge and acts as both an entryway and exit. The craft is capable of holding four passengers, including the pilot. Propulsion is by a rear thruster, and long distances across the galaxy can be jumped using a 'black hole drive'. The rocketship can 'ski' or 'skim' across water, sand or snow using the board at the bottom. The most notable aspect of the craft is the huge loudspeakers attached to either side, and amplifier at the top.

History[]
In the first game, the spaceship crash lands on Earth after Toejam, the usual pilot, lets Earl drive. Earl flies it too fast and it crashes into an asteroid. They must collect the ten pieces of the ship which are scattered over 25 levels in order to reassemble it and leave Earth.
In ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, it emerges that a large number of Earthlings, both friendly and hostile, had followed the Rapmaster Rocket back to Funkotron. Toejam and Earl must capture the Earthlings and send them back.
In ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, a soft reboot of the first game, the plot is much the same. However in this game it is established that the spaceship actually belongs to Lamont, and ToeJam and Earl had taken it without permission. Lewanda and Latisha are also present aboard the spaceship in this instance. Toejam had brought Lewanda along due to having a romantic interest in her, and Latisha had come along along for the ride. The spacehsip crashes when Earl activates a black hole drive too close to Earth, mistaking it for the subwoofers, which is also the explanation for why Earth is transformed and divided up into 'levels'.
