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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

>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.

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.
