The remake is about working a *rap* number into the movie so kids will buy the soundtrack.

a few?

no, as in rap music. (ludicris, notorious b.i.g, tupak, snoop dogg)

a rap music "number." here number means a song & dance presentation, not a quantity.

Thanks for the explaination.
Could you use it in another sentence?

[toe]

"and for my next number, i'll be performing a song from the hit musical Annie"

(haha i just made myself laugh, i can't sing)

or how about,

"the benefit show for the tsunami victims was amazing. i loved the rap number at the end."

hope this helps a little bit at least!

It sure did help and it was impressive with the humor.
