Who the person is that wrote an awful song doesn't make the song any less awful. I could write a better flowing song in a day.

Jesus this thread is embarrassing
Lol that was terribad
Why copy/paste the cool rap that y'all made earlier and swap out the lyrics poorly? It would've been something special if they made a whole new (good) original rap song. Not like good good but DK64's served a purpose in introducing you to the characters and their basic abilities and the game's weird sense of humor
If I bought YL blind and this was the first thing I saw, it'd have me real concerned for the rest of the game.
Edit: before "lol it's a stretch goal" it would've been cool if they put effort into what y'all paid them for

They tried. I didn't think they would literally go 1:1 with the DK Rap
It's no Bears and Birds, that's for sure.

Wow some of these responses. This is why we can't have nice things anymore

It'd help if the rap was a nice thing ¯_(ツ
_/¯I don't think it's unfair to expect more than this, if it wasn't some of the banjo team ripping off their own games there'd be no way this would get people defending it imo
Hopefully it's not indicative of the rest of the game's quality

Yeah, idk... I think it was a little too much like the DK Rap. I feel like it probably could've used a better vocalist, too.

That was the whole point of it...
If the DK rap came out today this topic would be very similar. It came out and was cool back then but now it's nostalgia talking. Once you realise that's the whole point you realise the point of this rap.

I didn't think it was actually possible to miss the point of this.

Yeah fans these days will settle for anything instead of nice things.

The DK Rap was never cool and was always recognized as the cringefest it was. The only thing it has going for it is nostalgia

Not a huge fan. They just copy-pasted the rhythm of the DK Rap while inserting really poorly written rhymes, not to mention the actual rapper was just bad. While the DK Rap was bad yet still fun to listen to, this is just bad. Sorry Grant, but I can't get behind this rap. Nice try though

That was dreadful, so it was perfectly on point really.

My point is that there's a difference between "so bad its entertaining" and "so bad it's pointless"
Coming from somebody who loves DK64 and the DK Rap, I agree. I don't think the YL Rap will become as nostalgic as the DK Rap. I really cringed watching it and there's less diversity in it than the DK Rap too.
But that's just me.

How about this, if I write and record and produce a song by the end of today and it's better than this garbage you have to change your avatar to something reasonable that we can work out like "I was wrong and have no idea what I was talking about" and if I can't put my money where my mouth is with the song then I'll change mine to whatever you want me to change it to, obviously within reason. (Offensive icons/language is what I'm trying to avoid when I say within reason)

How about this, you write and record a sing by the end of today, and nobody gives a shit because you're not grant kirkhope and are missing the point of this by such an enormous margin you've propelled yourself into an alternate dimension
Why would you do that?

I liked it.
But I do understand the complaints about it being too derivative instead of something new. I do wish it were something more unique, like, say, this other N64 classic:

But that said, it's still a nice tribute to and reminder of DK64.

The only reason this exists was because it was put as a campaign stretch goal. Relax, Jesus!

The DK rap is awful in a significantly better way.
This thread is NeoGAF through and through.

I had to stop halfway and switch to the OG DK Rap. No contest. Also whoever is rapping in Yooka sounds goofy as fuck.

This felt too much "me too" but without the charm the dk rap
The original DK rap was an terrible rap with horrible lines that someone at rare thought it was cool, so in the years it reached meme status
This one here is boring, there is no remarkable lines like coconut gun or no style or grace, just some thrown together lines to imitate the meme

It's Chris Sutherland in both raps...
The DK Rap was always intended to be cheesy and bad, which is why Grant hated it for years because people actually thought he was being serious.
