PaRappa the Rapper 2 is a PlayStation 2 rhythm video game, sequel to the groundbreaking PaRappa the Rapper. It was not as well received as the original.

It features the same rapping puppy with similar gameplay and musical value, but with many new masters to rap against (and the return of an old favorite, Chop Chop Master Onion). The game is about PaRappa getting through to his girlfriend Sunny Funny that he is not a kid anymore and should not be treated like one. Throughout the game, you must complete a multitude of tasks; cooking hamburgers at the local Beard Burger, working out in front of Chop Chop Master Onion's television show, trying to regain proper stature after being shrunken by one of PaRappa Papa's inventions with help from Guru Ant, working out at a military boot camp with Instructor Moosesha, the sister of PaRappa the Rapper's Instructor Mooselini, cutting hair in the hair salon with schizophrenic barber, Hairdresser Octopus, beating an 8-bit video game called Food Court (a medley level rapping against all of the previous masters), reasoning with Colonel Noodles, and a final party with MC King Kong Mushi. While all this happens, there is an ill-received sub plot about all food turning into noodles and the war on the noodle invasion.

The game features an unlockable De La Soul song recorded specifically for the game (titled 'Say "I Gotta Believe!"'). It can be found on the game's original soundtrack.
