>DK Rap was hated when it first came out
What the fuck

>>713120641 (OP)
Its like the Doom Comic, faggot millennials revel in irony and have to be meme loving fucks.

What was the joke?

>>713120641 (OP)
>company makes something shitty
>people agree it's shit
>years later, retards and younger folk show up and say the shitty thing is good
a tale as old as time

>>713120641 (OP)
Yes, it was seen as cringe back in day, was elevated to meme status thanks to the cringe, then became nostalgic and iconic via meme popularity.

I always liked it. I didn't like the game but I would listen to the song many times

>>713120924
kongs are monkeys
rap = monkey music

>>713120924
the joke is that it exists

>>713120641 (OP)
All rap music is bad, but I enjoyed the DK rap in melee as a child

Zoomers lack context yet again. Back then it was cringe because it was trying to be "how do u do fellow kids" while rap and hip hop were popular in the mainstream

>>713120641 (OP)
Reminder that grant was not credited for the use of the DK rap in the Mario movie. the illumination and the evil kikes at jewtendo tried to get out of paying him.

>>713120924
that rap is lame but it's saved by the iconic bassline

Zoomers don't understand, but literally everything back then was going for this aesthetic and it was exhausting.

>>713120927
Most people, especially kids, don't know the difference between something bad that they enjoy and something good.

>>713120924
That it's a fucking monkey rap!

You do know you made yourself look like a bigger idiot, right?

>>713121298
the problem is that most people are literal flesh automatons who are hard coded to think something is "good" if it stimulates them or invokes any emotion
>pic related: how to make millions of retards think your anime is "good"

>>713120641 (OP)
There were a lot of corporate attempts to do branded hip hop back then and most were pretty cringe. Things like the Adams Family rap and the Ninja Turtles rap are probably also getting renewed nostalgia love by people my age who were kids that loved it cuz they were kids.

I guess edgy teens hated it. I was a kid, so DK Rap was awesome and based. Sometimes I'd boot up the console just to listen to it.

>>713121829
>going on the internet and telling lies for attention

I never knew a single person that hated the DK Rap. Grant, however, was known to dislike it, and is clearly just projecting his opinion.

>>713120641 (OP)
It's campy, which fits the game as a whole.
Camp is verboten in anti-cringe culture because it strides the line between self-serious and joking.

>>713120641 (OP)
I mean it is a shitty rap (all rap music is but by applying the standards of rap music it's shit-tier) but it has nostalgia factor.

>>713120927
We loved the dk rap back in school
Fuck you nigger

>>713121298

100% true though I wouldn't exclude any demographic from that particular type of retardation.

David Wise had the better music anyway

Poor guy. The rap is fucking hilarous, and is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. Altleast Grant Kirkhope can be happy with the fact that it is one of the most iconic video games songs, and is extremely closesly tied to dk at this point. It's really awesome how much respect nintendo is giving all the previous games.

>>713120641 (OP)
You had to be there. They were putting cringe raps in fucking everything. Police Academy movies, first TMNT movie, etc. It was like "executive rap" w no name rappers w simple non offensive lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL4DHL_Gqbs

Coincidentally as shit as it was, I'd prefer that now over the fake as fuck fruity candy ass rap we have now. Them niggas is gay.

>>713120641 (OP)
Are they using the full rap? Feels like we've gone backward and Nintendo will be sensitive about the H word

>kids got the joke but teens didn't
No. Kids liked it unironically. We were too young to know it was ironically bad, and especially in America we were surprised to hear 'hell" in an E-rated game so we thought it was cool.

>>713122948
The Mr. Plow one I got because of Bart and Lisa's reactions, and we were familiar with the concept of mom/dad trying to be cool. Homer was still funny, but unlike the DK rap I got that he wasn't actually intending to be funny. DK64 is more like if Bart and Lisa themselves did a song that was supposed to be ironically bad. Kids wouldn't get it.

>>713122948
Turtle Power was & still is awesome. I remember a lot of top 40s radio playing it so it did something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOQPp1Yvtm8

>having a meltie because your irony fetish was exposed
you don't realize the song was considered cringe at the time because it was trying too hard to be "hip with the kids" since rap and hip hop were "the thing" back then. someday the tables are gonna be turned on you, and you're gonna remember i tried to warn you. you deny yourself true quality because you think being annoying is fun. someday all the games you like will go to shit and get praised by idiots with no taste. everyone has limits, and you can only lower your standards so far. good luck, the cycle will never be broken.

>>713120924
It’s supposed to be a bad tacky song.

>>713120924
The joke is it’s supposed to be intentionally lame and corny. It’s a rap song made by a white middle-aged British guy who’s never rapped in his life to sell video games to children and Kirkhope tried to make that as obvious as possible but it was based anyway.

>>713123661
>what do you mean these goofy, larger than life, exaggerated cartoonish characters have a wacky soundtrack to match the tone?!!?!?

eventually your madness will wear off, and when it does, you'll experience some of the worst mental pain of your life. right now you embrace madness, because it gives you comfort. but it won't last forever. you will live to see everything you love decay to dust. goodbye, have fun killing yourself in more or less a decade

what did you expect. It's a rap for children. Meanwhile the Poke rap is just counting pokemon

>>713122174
Autist is also fragile, many such cases.

I started to like the DK rap after hearing the melee version.

youd have to be a retarded banana nigger to think the melee version isnt superior

also kirkhope>wise. banjo OSTS clear DKC, though its close.

It sounds familiar to this one song but I can't pin point it out.

>>713125313
btw. they remade the song for Melee improving the singing tremendously

Die die die

>>713120641 (OP)
It's been loved since brawl came out though, kirkhope just doesn't pay attention.

>>713120641 (OP)
It was. I'm old enough to remember fellow kids thinking it was also lame.

It was cringe until you began to lean into the campyness. The DK rap is dumb as fuck. But that's cool, I guess. Embrace the stupidity.

>>713120641 (OP)
It be like that sometimes. The One Piece rap was considered polarizing back then. And now people love it.

Double take: zoomer music is so shit that the shitty forced rap segments in old shows and movies sound better to them then their own music
