8 Amazing Soundtrack Moments In Video Games

8. The DK Rap - Donkey Kong 64

Don't let this first entry put you off. The DK Rap is amazing precisely because of how bizarre a decision it was to make. It's truly a product of the "attitude" era coming to a close going into the 2000s, for it's a bit of a joke entry. Where some of the later entries are defining moments, the DK Rap is in a whole class of its own.

The DK Rap deserves its place on the soundtrack list for being an extremely campy introduction to all six members of the Kong squad that you’ll be taking control of as you leap around this excellent Nintendo 64 platforming adventure from the industry legends that were Rare.

Above all else, the DK Rap is an essential part of gaming culture nowadays. The lyrics might be dreadfully rhymed, the delivery exudes a man doing his best to try and sound cool, and composer for the game Grant Kirkhope might well cringe at the mere mention of the song, but we should all bear the memory of the DK Rap together.

After all, if we remember it, we'll never get another video game rap, right?
