atrocious 6.7 fps terrible n64 games

Dead.

I thought the lizard was a she.

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

Super psyched for the game and even kickstarted one of the top tiers, but could they really not manage to write a song that actually rhymes? Writing a rap is one of the easiest things you can possibly do so I don't know how they managed to make this so incredibly cringey as if they tried their hardest not to flow/rhyme.

 

[kewlbot]

are yall really gonna criticize an April Fools joke

 

[Waluigilicious]

Perfect!!

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

This whole time I had the gender of the two characters swapped. Now I don't know how to feel.

Me too dude!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Lol you surprised?

 

[IronicSonic]

Really nice. It's dumb and funny just like the original DK Rap

A lizard and a bat, what's up with that!

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Bitching has no limits in the land of Gaf.

 

[Sponge]

Really nice. It's dumb and funny just like the original DK Rap

A lizard and a bat, what's up with that!

And a snake in a hat!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

When are they actually sending out keys to backers? :/

 

[wideface]

This is amazing.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Nostalgia isn't really enough.

 

[Thud]

Based Grant Kirkhope.

 

[Cramoss]

DK Rap still the GOAT but this one's pretty fucking cool too

are yall really gonna criticize an April Fools joke

I lost faith in GAF many years ago, you should too lol

 

[MulderYuffie]

wow wasn't expecting this ahahaha.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Came here for Coconut Gun, leaving satisfied.

 

[Badosh]

Well, that's something.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I am stuck in a place between cringe and entertained.

Yep. That perfectly sums up my feelings. The two rappers don't sound funky enough.

 

[Big Nikus]

Felt like they needed to make it more original instead of copying the beats from the DK rap.

Yeah I thought it would be 100% original.

But I enjoyed it. Cringed hard but in a good way. Will watch again and be uncomfortable again. And again.

 

[Yukinari]

are yall really gonna criticize an April Fools joke

Uhh the rap for YL isnt an april fools joke, it was one of the kickstarter stretch goals.

 

[Megawarrior]

The DK rap was iconic. It can't be replicated.

 

[tolkir]

I appreciate the effort, but I don't like.

It would have been better a new kind of rap, not a parody.

 

[Kouriozan]

Come on Cranky, take it to the fridge!

 

[Community Forum]

Is this actually in the game somewhere?

 

[guybrushfreeman]

I can't tell if this is exactly what I wanted or something horrible from the depths

It seems that you made a mistake, this is the real HD rip.

Why aren't people linking to the correct high quality rip of coconut gun?

I can vouch that these are of the highest quailty

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I was expecting an original rap instead of what's basically a rewrite but it's a funny extra.

 

[shawnbuddy]

Sometimes "ironically" bad things are just bad.

 

[Stalwart]

Even cheesier than I braced myself for

 

[hydruxo]

Sometimes "ironically" bad things are just bad.

And sometimes people take things too seriously

This is just a fun little homage as a stretch goal

 

[Secret Fawful]

I love it. It's perfection.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I apprecaite the sentiment, but I didn't like the video at all.

 

[paragonpro]

everyone who ever picked that terrible stage in melee and the single player modes of melee every time i played classic and ... i think it was in adventure also?

i was fortunate enough to avoid the terrible song on the n64 also but now that people who grew up playing atrocious 6.7 fps terrible n64 games are old like me its a "hueg meam" so i get to see it everywhere

Yeah, i could hardly play ff7, banjo kazooie, mario 64, crash bandicoot, or spyro the dragon because of there shit framerates! Objectively terrible games!

Spoiler

/s

I do like the rap though, enjoyably cheesey.

Never change guys... Never change! 😂

 

[Saladinoo]

haha oh man. I appreciate it.

 

[LordRaptor]

ITT people complaining about the lyrical flow of a yorkshireman in his 50s

 

[Kyzon]

This whole time I had the gender of the two characters swapped. Now I don't know how to feel.

You assumed their genders?

Spoiler

I did too honestly. I had no idea.

 

[ZSaberLink]

I think for me the problem was the rappers' voices. George Andreas did a sufficiently dorky DK rap without being too cringey. Plus the words just matched the tune a ton better. This one just never really sounded right lol. The animations were fine, although I have no idea what they were doing xD.

Anyways, I'm thinking this may just be an April Fool's joke though lol, although I'm fine either way.

 

[breakfuss]

I'm guessing this requires context because lord, that was cringy.

lol

 

[faridmon]

wants an instrumental version

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I hate anyone that doesn't like this.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

you know you can be cynical and still enjoy shit like this. There's a fine line between cynical and a straight up grumpy sourpuss. No fun allowed apparently.

 

[Kneefoil]

A solid attempt, but it definitely fails to recapture the groove of DK rap. A pale imitation.

 

[bede-x]

That is just awesome. Can't wait to play this.

 

[jett]

but where's his COCONUT GUN?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDlqdsw1i8

No coconut gun, no sale. I'm afraid it's a deal-breaker.

 

[XenodudeX]

That was lame as fuck

DK rap was much better

Yup.

It being lame is the joke.

 

[TheDinoman]

at last, the song that ends the earth

 

[Archtreyz]

Nice edit, hahaha

 

[Booker Dewitt]

About what I expected. Nothing memorable.
