"Take the rap for (someone/ something)" có nghĩa là chịu phạt, chỉ trích hoặc bị bắt giữ (vì làm gì hoặc chịu thay tội của người khác). "Rap" được hiểu với nghĩa "cáo buộc phạm tội".

Ví dụ
Colombia’s trial of the century: fixer promised Uribe to take the rap.

McCarthy said: “I said if it was not working, I would take the rap for it as it was done in the best interests of the team."

If that was the reason that we conceded the goal (thủng lưới) and played badly, I’ll take the rap for that. But I won’t take the rap for us not being able to pass the ball. I changed it because I didn’t think it was working.

The musical is set in the roaring ‘20s Chicago and the audience will be transported back in time, where chorus girl Roxie Hart murders a faithless (không trung thật) lover and convinces her hapless (không may) husband, Amos, to take the rap.
