Creator of DK Rap not mentioned in credits of The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Grant Kirkhope made a name for himself in the gaming world when he created the 'DK Rap' for the Rare game Donkey Kong 64. With its unforgettable rap style, the song quickly gained cult status and has been featured in a variety of media over the years. The iconic tune appears in the recently released Super Mario Bros. Movie, but Kirkhope is not mentioned in the credits.
ruined excitement
On Twitter, the composer expressed his initial delight, saying he never imagined the "worst rap ever" would be used in a Mario film. However, after seeing the film, his excitement turned to disappointment when he discovered that his name was not listed in the credits for the DK Rap.
understandable
Kirkhope's reaction is understandable, especially since other songs in the game have proper credits. The DK Rap, on the other hand, is only mentioned as "from Donkey Kong 64."
The omission of Kirkhope's name from the credits is certainly noticeable, and it begs the question of why he was overlooked. Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many pleading for Kirkhope to be recognized.
unclear
It's unclear why Kirkhope's contribution was overlooked in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it's safe to say that the composer deserves to be recognized. After all, the DK Rap has become a beloved part of gaming history, and it's only fair that its creator is given due credit.
