"N64 kids all across the globe can let out a sigh of relief to know that they can finally download the “DK Rap” legitimately online, courtesy of Donkey Kong 64 composer Grant Kirkhope.
The Donkey Kong 64 Official Soundtrack was originally released in CD form in 1999, at the same time as the Expansion Pak-powered N64 platformer. Kirkhope is no stranger to re-releasing his well-cherished soundtracks from the good old Rare days: Perfect Dark and both Banjo-Kazooie soundtracks have been readily available on his Bandcamp page for several months now.
Like all of his previous digital offerings, this soundtrack is being sold at “Name Your Price,” so you can take it for free if you so dare. I’m not quite sure how (or if) he reached an agreement with Nintendo to re-release this, but all the power to him.
Now, about that Goldeneye 007 soundtrack." - Patrick Kulikowski
The Never Yak recently had the idea that everyone who works with Nintendo Link should write a small piece on their favorite game soundtracks, and this is such a fun and eclectic collection.
Donkey Kong 64 had issues, but it did plenty right too. The time has come for a new 3D Donkey Kong platformer experience on Nintendo Switch.
Dk64 sucked. They should have kept all the old kongs and did away with that God awful rap. Puff daddy raps better than that.
Diddy is a legend in rap, better out respect on his name. Man was part of some serious classics.
Also the DK rap was iconic. Was it good? Not in the slightest. But that cringe was for the kids and I know at 9 years old I definitely enjoyed it and knew every word lol
Dear God, NO! This was the death of the Donkey Kong Country franchise for me.
Death? You mean the greatest rap song of all time was the death of a franchise? Well, I guess I love the death. haha
Donkey Kong 64 world champion, Connor75, has made a name for himself setting world records, but there was one time he thought he was cursed! Learn more in this interview with Peterdea, an avid Donkey Kong 64 player himself.
