Info:
This is my tribute to the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES, but mainly to the man behind the great soundtrack, David Wise. He is one of my favorite musicproducers and have been a huge inspiration to me. All the tracks on the album are based on a sample from the soundtrack. Then I have mashed these samples to either hip hop or RnB acapellas. On top of this i have added alot of my own production like drumloops, basslines, effects, samples and synths. I also have to thank "Pinkoloss", an amazingly talented friend of mine, for making the fabulous cover art. I recommend you to visit his blog (adress is above).

i dont care if posting on this name will get me banned even more i needed to say this is awesome

[neminem]

So, I already told this guy he was awesome, several times, in his thread over at GYBO. So I don't need to tell him that any more. Obviously, I'm the one that bugged him to post this here, as I'm pretty sure a lot of people here will get a huge kick out of this. I am, however, posting this for the benefit of people that are thinking, "rap pellas? That sounds kind of lame...." It's not lame. It is, in fact, certifiably awesome. Do yourself a favor and download this.

P.S. Yes, this is the right forum. You did fine.

[The Mac Attack]

This guy is one of the best bootleggers around and I highly recommend everyone check out some of his stuff (http://www.youtube.com/user/cappapie).

I'll be sure to download this as soon as I get the opportunity this weekend.

[tweek]

I agree people. I DL'd the album a while ago thanks to neminem's suggestion. Peter's mashups are top-notch!!

[Arek the Absolute]

Sooooo good.

A great album through and through.

[Dafydd]

I'm downloading this at 14kB/s. Can't wait to hear it. Almost litterally. Torrent link didn't work.

EDIT: Well, it was well worth the download. Good stuff :D

[Jaybell]

Hahahaha! This is great.

Edit: No Mining Melancholy? D:

[prophetik]

i'm getting this as soon as i'm back back in the dorm, on a computer with a sound card.

[MechaFone]

Oh my nads, this was a brilliant album. I love how they made the songs so blended together, I loved it and I'ma listen to it all day!

[Dhsu]

Hahaha, "Without the Brothers Bear" = the best. It definitely needs a YTMND.

[Arek the Absolute]

"Without the Brothers Bear" and "I wish I Had Life Balloons" are definitely my favorite on this. Don't get me wrong, this whole thing is just awesome, but those to are just epic.

[Dhsu]

"When Diddy's Gone" is actually quite moving...wow, just wow.

Edit: Oh man, "Billie Jean Kong" made me LOL so hard. So awesome.

[Patrick Burns]

This thing helped me pull an all-nighter to get a history essay done on time. nice stuff

[Arek the Absolute]

"When Diddy's Gone" is actually quite moving...wow, just wow.

Edit: Oh man, "Billie Jean Kong" made me LOL so hard. So awesome.

"Runaway Dixie" got me a tad more, but ya, I totally agree.

Haha, YES about "Billie Jean Kong". Oh man...so good.

[neminem]

"Runaway Dixie" got me a tad more, but ya, I totally agree.
Well... Aquatic Ambiance is one of my favorite songs in any video game, ever, so when I say When Diddy's Gone is my favorite mix of them, I'm sort of biased. Runaway Dixie might be a better mix, but it doesn't have Aquatic Ambiance in it.

You could mix utter crap with Aquatic Ambiance, and as long as it was in-key and in-synch crap, I'd like it. No, not In-Sync crap, though, hey, give me a pella ;).

[Aninymouse]

This is an amazing concept album. And when I say "amazing," I don't mean "good," "cool" or "shocking" (though it is all those things); no, I mean that it inspires amazement. I was amazed. Speechless. It was not because you did something that I'd never seen attempted (Snoop Dogg vs. "Gormet Race" is a good example) or that the source material wasn't familiar (I had heard all those 'pieces-parts' before), but because you made it work in a way I never thought possible. Not only was the quality there (and you even made the original hip-hop sound better at times), but you kept it up throughout the album.

:nicework:

Here's hoping we'll see more from you in the future!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Effin sweet. Love it.

[prophetik]

if you noticed, there's more than one album available...the other one is great, too.

[Effef]

I am in awe.

[MechaFone]

Three days later and I'm still listening to this stuff. I put it on every other album or so, and I just jam at work. This stuff is utter classic.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

What a great thing. Srsly.

[Sole Signal]

Epic. :nicework:

[SwordBreaker]

"I Wish I Had Life Balloons" and "The Way Barrels Are" are extremely addicting. The DKC music really meshes well with the lyrics. Props. :)

[Jaybell]

It is scary how well these sync up, seriously.

[Peter Bull]

thank you everybody for the great feedback and i am glad most of you enjoyed it!

I think it will be a long time until i do another gamemusic mashup project like this, even i do have a couple of other ideas. Right now i will focus on my popmashups, and if you are interested in that, you will find updates on these links:

[Peter Bull]

Hahah. Caught me listening to it again :D

[your the man now dog]

oh my god this is like an eargasm

[Faustt]

Holy crap! This is just plain awesome. I don't really like many of the original tracks, but the mashups are just amazing...

Keep up the good work!

[Peter Bull]

thanks everybody!

the album has been downloaded circa 7000 times since the release...

[Sobou]

Download the album about a week ago and I can say that I enjoy it. I don't care for much rap or hip-hop, but several of the tracks I've been listening to regularly.

Billie Jean Kong and Raymond Wise have to be my favorites though. Excellent job on these.

[CC Ricers]

My personal faves were the Lil' Jon and Eminem mashups.

[prophetik]

i've been watching your blog, man. keep putting out more good mashups.
