The DK Rap is a rap song about Donkey, Diddy, Tiny, Chunky, and Lanky during the intro of Donkey Kong 64 before the title screen shows up. This song is well known for using the word hell in it where it can be found in the final line of Chunky's part. It was later replaced by heck in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This song also appears in Donkey Konga. Funky also mention the DK Rap in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

  • DK Rap ist ein Rap-Lied über Donkey Kong und seine Freunde, das als Einführung im Spiel Donkey Kong 64 gezeigt wird. Er wurde von Grant Kirkhope geschrieben und in DK64 von George Andreas und Chris Sutherland gesungen. Der DK Rap ist etwas berüchtigt für seinen deutlich abgedroschenen Text und die Tatsache, dass DK64 in den USA die Einstufung E (Everyone - Jedermann/Alle) erhielt und der DK Rap in dem Spiel das Wort hell (Hölle) enthält.

  • The general style of the song (musically) is very similar to Run D.M.C.'s 1983 song "It's Like That".

  • The DK Rap was originally written as a joke (as stated by Kirkhope on his own website) but however it made it into the introduction of Donkey Kong 64. The DK Rap is very infamous for its considerably corny lyrics, particularly Lanky Kong's verses, and the fact that it contains the word "hell" in Chunky Kong's verses, despite being featured in an E-Rated game. A possible reasoning for this is that Rare (the game's developer) is based in the United Kingdom, where "hell" is not considered profanity in the used context.

A possible reasoning for this is that Rare (the game's developer) is based in the United Kingdom, where "hell" is not considered profanity in the used context. The DK Rap returned in Super Smash Bros. Melee (performed here by James W. Norwood Jr.), where it became the musical score for the Kongo Jungle level. The third and fifth verses describing Tiny Kong and Diddy Kong were sung faster, and the word "hell" was replaced by "heck" (it's possible this was the main purpose for redoing the rap). The DK Rap is also reused in Donkey Konga, as one of the game's many songs.
