DK Rap composer wasn't aware "the worst rap track in the history of rap tracks" would be included in Donkey Kong Bananza


Grant Kirkhope, composer of the DK Rap, wasn't aware it would be used in Donkey Kong Bananza.

Yesterday, Nintendo detailed more on its forthcoming Switch 2 gorilla platformer and fans spotted the inclusion of the DK Rap, originally created for Donkey Kong 64. He added: "My tombstone will read, 'Here lies the body of Grant Kirkhope, he wrote the DK Rap and the Goldeneye Pause Music'... "I said I appreciate you've got your policies and all the rest of it, but by the time the credits roll in the movie to show the songs, the theatre's completely empty, everyone's gone, it's only me and my wife and my two kids sat there going 'look daddy's name!'.
