Fun fact: The term "Rap Battle" has existed since the 5th century by that time known as Flything an event in which 2 poets insulted/debated/argued with each other in verse
I feel bad for West after that “You ain’t no brother of mine” He even sound disappointed after the battle with that “West Out” man sound like he was on the verge of tears. Also he fix the old tape recorder is perfect cause he see Zuke as his brother
Meybe DK West was at fault too, so that's why i didn't felt as bad for him. I seen a simmilar case in real life, but their relative was worse than West.
Uh yet he also brought the tape he promised Zuke he wouldn't ever play again and even lied about disposing of it, and he even said he used to play this to ANYONE he saw, so practically he never stopped humiliating his brother until he'd get called out by adults or something.
Nah. West was a TERRIBLE brother and i kind of hated how Mayday forced then to reconcile by airing all of Zuke's business. Zuke had evety right to be angry at West and this was no proper redemtion for him.
@@RosePosiepuddingpie i've had the misfortune of knowing someone like west apologizing is the worst thing you can do and they'll use your apology against you in the future
09:20 Zuke-"Stop it! You're not gonna pull that stunt on me again-" DK West- "I'll Go First!" Zuke- "Aw Dammit!" That's some good ol Loony Tunes humor right there.
In any other game, it’d be like: Protagonist: “Bro, I seriously don’t have time to fight you.” Protagonist’s brother/rival: “I’ll attack first!” Protagonist: “FUCK!” And unlike this game, whereas the protags could have fled at any point during the battle, you’re usually trapped by either an object or a barrier that either has no explanation for its existence (as in it logically shouldn’t be there but it is) or has an explanation for its existence. Like in Okami. I forgot the reason why the barriers pop up when you get into a fight, but I assume there is one because your friend eventually tells you how to flee from battle, which involves breaking said barriers with a specific brush technique that you learn early on.
DK West : Oh? You're approaching me? Despite the fact that we're family you're still gonna take me on in a rap battle? Zuke : My overwhelming amount of character development can't increase until I roast you! DK West : Hohoh! The come as close as you like!
“You’re no brother of mine” Damn... He had to take a moment after hearing that just to take that it... He didn’t end the battle immediately or had a comeback to that... It physically hurt to watch that...

Is it just me, or does DK West got a major ego issue? He sees Zuko trying to be like him as an attack on his reputation, tells Zuke to stop blaming him for everything, then blamed Zuke for everything that went wrong in college and expects him to apologize. What really sets me off is how he ignores Zuke’s phone calls for what appears to be years, then shows up to steal B2 Junction’s fans and still expects some sort of apology from Zuke. This musical sequence, much like the entire game, is awesome, but I’d punch DK West if he was my brother.
West may be egotistical and foolish but can you blame him for having an ego when he is implied to have once tried to overthrow NSR just like his brother is doing, all on his own with his rapping? He used to be really good at what he did, but he failed to bring about change like he went out to do. His brother also is essentially one-upping him at every turn. Nadia preferred Zuke to West. Zuke has more fans than him now. West didn't see this as Zuke pursuing what he loved inspired by West, he instead saw it as Zuke continuously showing West that he's a failure. He failed in college, he failed to have the girl of his dreams, and he failed to bring change to Vinyl City, and Zuke one-upped him by getting a Masters, being with his dream girl, and beginning to bring about the same change as he tried to. West is not totally innocent, but there's some justifications that can be made for his actions.
Phase 1: West brings up Nadia, the obstacles spell out EVE. Phase 2: Zuke mentions NSR, the obstacles spell out NSR. West mentions starting from zero, they form a zero. Phase 3: West goes for the OG line, the obstacles spell it. When West finally starts praising Zuke's leadership, they spell out B2J.
im not sure if this is another one but once west starts blaming zuke in phase 2 they form a z and in phase 3 when west mentions the heart they form one
@@lucyk8935 i am an asian i have some melayu family so every time i here some movie like batman or other get dub it always bad for some reason like it sound very bad
DK West is truly embodiment of Malaysian... From the way he's talking while being chill, using a shadow puppetry shows as his boss battle mechanics and even a crowds joining a dikir while shouts "Ewah!" DK West came from Kelantan Bro :D
It's actually amazing the level of details they add here... West throwing more stuff at random while Zuke tries to follow a flow. When their arguments become more heated there's less healing items and the flow of demon thingies goes crazier, and when they start to coldown this changes, more healing items and the patterns aren't as wild. The hidden messages in the patterns and lastly on the second fight after Zuke says West isn't his brother his Shadow puppet takes a beating, even on the ending strikes, it's usually two or three hits and west is finally down, but for that one, the puppet took like 7 hits...
22:26 i do love how the final battle once zuke and dk started to calm and sorts zukes stars getting a bunch of healing items in a straight line thats cool
You’re watching a Nintendo Direct and the screen goes black. Everything stops. Then, a song. “I’m a little zonkey, heehaw, heehaw!” Followed by laughing. [Ewah! DK West in the house!]
I kinda like how Mayday doesn't really rhyme as good as DK West or Zuke, it's not something she is used to and it's not easy, but still does a great job rapping
As a personal Malaysian, I find myself wanting to retort at DK West in Malay myself (like the drumset, oi memanglah orang marah kalau jual tu drumset, bukan main mahal punya benda, kau pergi jual tu ngapa?? hah? bikin paloi punya orang) even though my Malay is a mix of Labuan and Sarawkian slang lmao That aside, man his music bops Proud to see a game this good made by a Malaysian company, even in spite of the few bugs and stuff I noticed here and there while watching some videos.
Zuke in one moment speaks his language ( 1:23 ), so yeah, probably doesn't talk with the same accent because Zuke actually completed School, and learned english.
Little bits I noticed: If you look at the traps in the 2nd part in Zuke’s parts, when he says NSR the little red crab traps pop up in that shape: 10:22 Also, when he says “bring our powers together,” the crabs follow in a way that the hands are forced to stick close together: 10:36 As some people mentioned, the crabs spell out eve when he mentioned Nadia: 6:09 When DK says og, the crabs spell out og: 18:57 When DK says “heart sings,” a little heart appears: 20:50 21:43 :crabs spell out B2J
Makes you wonder. If West was able to threaten the NSR when he was just trying to make music, imagine what he might have accomplished if he had actually been serious about stopping them.
There's also a trick where you can hit the home button and then hit it again right when the song would go to the shadow bull phase. This allowd you to skip the avoiding red guys part
Gaming with Smiles Someone else shared that, I beat his second phase legit, but yeah, for his third? Had to use that cheat, so glad someone discovered that!
I like that West keeps playing the tape recorder, not because it embarrasses Zuke but because it reminds him of a time that Zuke didn't hate him, and they had a normal brotherly relationship.
Not sure if it's depression or not but from this and his interactions with Eve, it does seem to imply that Zuke wasn't on the beat place on his younger years... Maybe some lack of confidence, since he express some gratitude about that towards Eve
Something of note: Both DK West and Eve put Mayday and Zuke in separate corridors and attack them separately, including specifically a section where Mayday is mainly the one being attacked and they voice their jealousy over her supposed relationship with Zuke.
22:37: Um... Excuse me! Is it okay right now here on this spot if I, Aku, the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness, can just go ahead and unleash an unspeakable evil on Vinyl City? I can do that while you two foolish punk rockers and foolish punk rapper, wielding magic hands, waste your time trying to make amends with each other over this petty squabbling... instead of stepping fourth to high-five me!”
Anyone else notice that the DK West chanting changes tones between the first and second encounter. The chanting for the first seems more free and supportive while it seems forced for the second.
I appreciate what they were trying to do here, but does it bother anyone else that in their reconciliation they...really don't do _anything_ to talk about how West hurt Zuke? It's all focused on how Zuke still respects him, but it felt pretty obvious that the biggest problem was that West had absolutely no respect for _Zuke_ . Taking out an old embarrassing childhood memory-one that he, apparently, had to actively go FIX HIMSELF-to bully him with both before AND AFTER the last fight, even after Zuke had gotten so fed up with West's bullshit that he disowned the dude, and yet the whole time it's just about how *West* was and wasn't hurt.
The whole thing stems from a misunderstanding, west's misunderstanding, of zukes motivations. He knows and respects zukes success but assumes zuke is doing it to one-up him, because of his own feelings of inadequacy when he fell off in college. Zuke wasn't, of course, but dk never understood that until told so (by mayday), because zuke plays into the misunderstanding when confronted - he keeps insulting his brother and calling him a loser when west's issues are brought up. Which isnt an unrealistic response to being attacked and told he's unoriginal. But zuke does go too far at times, there's the disowning but he also tells west it's his own fault nsr burned his car. It's a failure of communication on both parts. As for the tape recorder, that's just brotherly teasing for ya tbh, it's an antagonistic relationship but it's mostly done with love. From west's perspective it was a reminder of times before they were being openly hostile to each other. Smartest move? No, but brothers can be stupid like that, lol
@Idunnaz a bit late to this comment but as a guy with multiple brothers, even though we love each other, things can get pretty damn heated sometimes lol. Although there are no Shadow puppet stuff going on, there are intense arguments.
@@Idunnaz West plays the recorder to mock Zuke intially. West then plays it at the end to show the other side of why he plays it. He values his brother Zuke.
I'm not the only one who noticed that the first battle's "DK WEST" part and second battle's one are different. The second one is more divided. The first was more in unison and confidence.
Man honestly this was the most interesting and amazing rap boss battle. I liked it because even tho Dk West was talking his native language so did Zuke. Then Mayday stepping in to stop this rivalry fight it’s just amazing. Also I have a feeling they’ll be a NSR 2 idk why tho
Honestly West is a amazing big bro for Zuke, he follows the unspoken rule that every big bro has to break your self security a lil but make up for it by being the main role model for all their life.
I really wish the lyrics were much much better. They're almost always off beat, and there are only a few times that they successfully rhyme, even though they really seem to try it alot. Here's how I would have written this line: "I was stupid, I was dumb, I was foolish, I was blinded. There had to be some better words to say, but I just couldn't find it."
You're not wrong, but by then it had transformed very quickly from a traditional battle to more... rap therapy? It's very likely that they wanted to show that it really didn't matter about the rapping anymore, but it still would have been nice to have it line up regardless.
That’s kinda how I feel about the whole game honestly. Like, it’s obvious they made a good soundtrack before they actually made a game to go with it. And it shows. The ideas, the concepts, the soundtrack is pretty fantastic, but then the core gameplay ends up feeling really clunky and unpolished. Add to that a story that kinda flatlines and an ending that really just starts and ends in the last 10 minutes and you end up with a disappointing project. Charging 40 bucks at launch was not doing them any favors as well. If it had launched at 20 dollars, maybe it would have gotten more attention. It’s honestly not worth full admission.
Personally I feel like it really reflects on the fact that West and Zuke are moreso fighting than being in a rap battle. West tends to rhyme a lot more, especially in the first encounter, because he's trying to control the situation and stay on top, but as the rap battles continue they become more focused on the actual anger between the two characters.
1:31 DK West: "I forgot your birthday, you angry." Me: In all honesty, I'd be mad if my friends and family forgot my birthday too. 1:34 DK West: "I don't answer your messages, you angry." Me: It depends on what the text was, but I can see why DK West thinks that's not a reason to be angry. 1:37. DK West: "I sold your drumset, you angry." Me: I can see why Zuke would be mad about that, if DK West didn't let him know beforehand or without his permission. But DK West did tell him beforehand or with his permission, than I guess that's why DK West thinks that there's no reason to be angry.
The switch version on the second bout, it is virtually impossible because there is a bug that has yet to be fixed that causes the healing items to not appear
If you pay attention to the stage, you'll see a lot of lyrics will make the red blocks spell out something or show a symbol. Heres a list: 6:09 - When DK West mentions Nadia, EVE is spelled out. 6:49 - When Zuke mentions a scale of 1 to 10, the blocks spell out 1 10 9:43 - When DK West mentions Ground Zero, the blocks shape a 0 10:22 - When Zuke mentions NSR is an empire, the blocks spell out NSR 13:32 - When DK West says its Zuke's fault, a Z is shaped. 18:55 - When DK West says he has the OG grooves, OG is shaped. 20:49 - When West mentions his heart singing, a heart is shaped. 21:35 - When West mentions he left, I'M OUT is spelled. 21:40 - The blocks spell out B 2 J, meaning BBJ. Bunk Bed Junction 22:25 - When West starts to admit things, the stage becomes straight, and on Zuke's side, healing items are present every beat, indicating their relationship is starting to heal. Those are just a view things I saw when looking for em! Feel free to add to the list.
Agreed, I listened to the first rap battle in French on Spotify out of curiosity, and that was as smooth as butter. The English version has its charm, but after a while, I can’t help but focus on the clunkiness , sadly. But I just heard the first version though. Maybe things improved with the others.
Not to give them undo credit but it might be an intentional thing. Zuke raps on beat while DK West just tries to slam over maintaining a flow, which is super in character for them both.
@@DangoJoey That does make more sense, Zuke still is pretty levelheaded and would try to maintain a decent flow while DK West would let his emotions get in the way and end up focusing more on the battling part more than rapping.
Me at the first song: Hell yeah! Zuke is calling him out! Me at the second song: Okay... maybe I do run away from all my problems... maybe I related to DK... Me when Zuke said "You ain't no brother of mine" and kept rapping: *crying but still throwing it back* Me when DK played that old tape: ...Older siblings always has blackmail about you. Me at the end: ...Ight, I'm gonna call me sisters.
I know this game has so many flaws(bugs,camera etc) BUT THE EFFORT THEY DID. Every figth against any of them is unique in an way,and they would if they wanted to be like "man fuck it this dk west just do something" but no they did something so interesting. I love the music of dk west and sayu is so beautifully crafted amd they hired an Malian(sorry if i spelled wrong) to voice him,and he speaks the language only when he is fighting he speaks english and i always see some Malian just super happy bc they are representative in the game. I honestly get it how the game is cringe or is bugged..but i dont think is bad like some people are always saying
Whenever he states a number, the attack patterns form that number. I don't even know what this game is but I appreciate how it pays attention to details.
DK West: I don’t know why my brother doesn’t like me, why does he ate me? Also DK West: *threw away his guitar set, doesn’t reply to his messages, breaks a promise to not show the tape recording to anyone*

When their arguments become more heated there's less healing items and the flow of demon thingies goes crazier, and when they start to coldown this changes, more healing items and the patterns aren't as wild. The hidden messages in the patterns and lastly on the second fight after Zuke says West isn't his brother his Shadow puppet takes a beating, even on the ending strikes, it's usually two or three hits and west is finally down, but for that one, the puppet took like 7 hits...
Second battle: That shadow puppet/Shadow golem took 11 hits in total during the ending strikes.
22:26 i do love how the final battle once zuke and dk started to calm and sorts zukes stars getting a bunch of healing items in a straight line thats cool
You’re watching a Nintendo Direct and the screen goes black. Everything stops. Then, a song.
“I’m a little zonkey, heehaw, heehaw!”
Followed by laughing.
[Ewah! DK West in the house!]
DK West would be broken in Smash Bros, because he's the best
@@afineegg1040 I mean, he's our man.
Can we all appreciate the "To Be Continued" Jojo refrence?
Sure. It's a nice follow-up to the guy with a friggin' _Stand._

Alternative name: ‘Zuke rips his big brother a new one through music
"You're no brother of mine" I felt that, poor DK west 😔
Malaysians have a beautiful language, I didn't know
I had no idea Malay was so interesting it's a cool sounding language
@@frankdexter1110 don't worry, Malaysian tends to enjoying Bahasa Rojak most all of time..
Try Malaysia food 😀

@@bonesodaaaa Jangan risau, kamu boleh bah hahaha
I kinda like how Mayday doesn't really rhyme as good as DK West or Zuke, it's not something she is used to and it's not easy, but still does a great job rapping
As a personal Malaysian, I find myself wanting to retort at DK West in Malay myself (like the drumset, oi memanglah orang marah kalau jual tu drumset, bukan main mahal punya benda, kau pergi jual tu ngapa?? hah? bikin paloi punya orang) even though my Malay is a mix of Labuan and Sarawkian slang lmao
That aside, man his music bops
Proud to see a game this good made by a Malaysian company, even in spite of the few bugs and stuff I noticed here and there while watching some videos.
Mayday: so this is your big brother? How come you don't share his accent?
Me: or his language, for that matter.
Zuke in one moment speaks his language ( 1:23 ), so yeah, probably doesn't talk with the same accent because Zuke actually completed School, and learned english.
He does says some words with accent.
"Angry" "relax" "rap battle".
Being a Malaysian myself, I recognize that language. That is Malay-Malaysia's national language.
You must understand that sometimes one's accent dies off or dims when exposed to other languages for so long. Its normal.
Yi Ching Lau ahhhhhhh, so that’s what he’s speakinf
Little bits I noticed:
If you look at the traps in the 2nd part in Zuke’s parts, when he says NSR the little red crab traps pop up in that shape: 10:22
Also, when he says “bring our powers together,” the crabs follow in a way that the hands are forced to stick close together: 10:36
As some people mentioned, the crabs spell out eve when he mentioned Nadia: 6:09
When DK says og, the crabs spell out og: 18:57
When DK says “heart sings,” a little heart appears: 20:50
21:43 :crabs spell out B2J
You missed 21:36 where it says out when he talks about leaving Vinyl City
Dk “you angry” west
Honestly this is the best game so far
I like that it starts as actual rap battles and turns into family therapy
Makes you wonder. If West was able to threaten the NSR when he was just trying to make music, imagine what he might have accomplished if he had actually been serious about stopping them.
Zuke:*is being very chill*
DK:"allow me to introduce myself"
Jeeeeeeeesus, I’m struggling on his second phase, keep getting cut half way, thinking I’ll need a second set of eyes to play.
Shit bro that rhymed
Yeah, i think this is one of the battles that two players is a little necessary
There's also a trick where you can hit the home button and then hit it again right when the song would go to the shadow bull phase. This allowd you to skip the avoiding red guys part
Gaming with Smiles Someone else shared that, I beat his second phase legit, but yeah, for his third? Had to use that cheat, so glad someone discovered that!
Bruh i beat it first try after watching playthroughs, but man did Zuke's 1 hp was barely about to trigger me.
"You're not gonna pull that stunt on me again-"
"I'll go first!"
"AW DAMNIT"
i cant slhvskhsckshc
17:11
I like that West keeps playing the tape recorder, not because it embarrasses Zuke but because it reminds him of a time that Zuke didn't hate him, and they had a normal brotherly relationship.
9:25
West: rap battle
Zuke: no way. Im not doing this again.
West: but u walked through my boss fog
Zuke: dammit!
West:let's rap
Zuke:no!im not getting into that aga-
West:im gonna say the R-world if not
Zuke:DANGIT!
Always tired, crying alone, had no friend of his own so he hung out with his brother's friends...was Zuke depressed in college? :(
Not sure if it's depression or not but from this and his interactions with Eve, it does seem to imply that Zuke wasn't on the beat place on his younger years... Maybe some lack of confidence, since he express some gratitude about that towards Eve
Arent we all in college?
Zuke in college was me in elementary school.
is he ok now?
Something of note: Both DK West and Eve put Mayday and Zuke in separate corridors and attack them separately, including specifically a section where Mayday is mainly the one being attacked and they voice their jealousy over her supposed relationship with Zuke.
I wish there was a secret final boss fight vs DK West where it’s just complete and total bullet hell and it’s completely unfair
Omg XD
Raplovania
Be careful of what you wish for 😐
The last two battles were already hard enough so please noooo
Introducing: *Three Pronged West!*
fact : i just realize that DK west walk speaking with Malaysia language and also Zuke can speak Malaysia language to
Can you try google Buku teks Bahasa Melayu Darjah 1 2020.
Wow so both brothers used to be in love with Nadia Eve? What an awkward time they had.
22:37: Um... Excuse me! Is it okay right now here on this spot if I, Aku, the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness, can just go ahead and unleash an unspeakable evil on Vinyl City? I can do that while you two foolish punk rockers and foolish punk rapper, wielding magic hands, waste your time trying to make amends with each other over this petty squabbling... instead of stepping fourth to high-five me!”
" Not a chance Aku!" " Zuke? You know this guy?"
The last rap battle hits real hard, my sister and I always had a real hard rivalry, wish we could just rap out the differences
Anyone else notice that the DK West chanting changes tones between the first and second encounter. The chanting for the first seems more free and supportive while it seems forced for the second.
I appreciate what they were trying to do here, but does it bother anyone else that in their reconciliation they...really don't do _anything_ to talk about how West hurt Zuke? It's all focused on how Zuke still respects him, but it felt pretty obvious that the biggest problem was that West had absolutely no respect for _Zuke_ . Taking out an old embarrassing childhood memory-one that he, apparently, had to actively go FIX HIMSELF-to bully him with both before AND AFTER the last fight, even after Zuke had gotten so fed up with West's bullshit that he disowned the dude, and yet the whole time it's just about how *West* was and wasn't hurt.
I'll admit that is one thing that bothers me about this encounter.
The whole thing stems from a misunderstanding, west's misunderstanding, of zukes motivations. He knows and respects zukes success but assumes zuke is doing it to one-up him, because of his own feelings of inadequacy when he fell off in college. Zuke wasn't, of course, but dk never understood that until told so (by mayday), because zuke plays into the misunderstanding when confronted - he keeps insulting his brother and calling him a loser when west's issues are brought up. Which isnt an unrealistic response to being attacked and told he's unoriginal. But zuke does go too far at times, there's the disowning but he also tells west it's his own fault nsr burned his car. It's a failure of communication on both parts.
As for the tape recorder, that's just brotherly teasing for ya tbh, it's an antagonistic relationship but it's mostly done with love. From west's perspective it was a reminder of times before they were being openly hostile to each other. Smartest move? No, but brothers can be stupid like that, lol
Brothers. Nuff said.
@Idunnaz a bit late to this comment but as a guy with multiple brothers, even though we love each other, things can get pretty damn heated sometimes lol. Although there are no Shadow puppet stuff going on, there are intense arguments.
@@Idunnaz West plays the recorder to mock Zuke intially. West then plays it at the end to show the other side of why he plays it. He values his brother Zuke.
I'm not the only one who noticed that the first battle's "DK WEST" part and second battle's one are different. The second one is more divided. The first was more in unison and confidence.
I jus noticed that the red circles in the beginning forms the word "NSR"
10:22 omg it does
It spells different things and shapes the entire time. When they mention Nadine, it spells out "Eve"
Guh?! Hearing the Malay ascent from DK West really reminds me of Malaysia. Holy heck, Malaysia _now_ making a good game for once?!
The game is Malaysian
The lead developer of this game was lead designer for FF15.
You no talk me, YOU ANGY.
"I sell you drum set without your knowledge even if it was a precious part of music to you?YOU ANGUY"
idk why but DK is giving me jojo character vibes with the whole "randomly speaking english" bit
Also with the giant shadow.
@@justajojofan7296 that too, that too
The mix of languages is actually common.
Also
To be continued
Man honestly this was the most interesting and amazing rap boss battle. I liked it because even tho Dk West was talking his native language so did Zuke. Then Mayday stepping in to stop this rivalry fight it’s just amazing. Also I have a feeling they’ll be a NSR 2 idk why tho
Honestly West is a amazing big bro for Zuke, he follows the unspoken rule that every big bro has to break your self security a lil but make up for it by being the main role model for all their life.
Time stamps:
0:15 first encounter
8:21 second encounter
16:35 third encounter
7:23 if you hear closely DK West says "Oi tipu!" which means "Oi you cheat!" 😂
That is wholesome. To all bros in the world, look at that vid to stop the beckering.
Nah
@@nealforreals2098 😢 Why?
@@Gazing-09 Trust me, if you have a brother like mine it'll be hell
@@nealforreals2098 Alright Zuke, RELAX. Lmao.
I'll never stop cause me and my lil bro got a conflict that we enjoy, brothas will only learn to love eachother through violence.
I'm gonna say it.
DK West looks like Shrek.
Man, Zuke, you missed your chance to use that against him!
@@minanathans6005 u saying he is attractive?
How dare you
Dk shrek
Dk West: Lets have a rap battle
Zuke: im not falling for this agai-
Dk West: Ill go first :D
Zuke DAMMIT!!
I whole heartedly feel as if DK West could power stomp the other sections of the city.
I really wish the lyrics were much much better.
They're almost always off beat, and there are only a few times that they successfully rhyme, even though they really seem to try it alot.
Here's how I would have written this line:
"I was stupid, I was dumb, I was foolish, I was blinded. There had to be some better words to say, but I just couldn't find it."
You're not wrong, but by then it had transformed very quickly from a traditional battle to more... rap therapy?
It's very likely that they wanted to show that it really didn't matter about the rapping anymore, but it still would have been nice to have it line up regardless.
That’s kinda how I feel about the whole game honestly.
Like, it’s obvious they made a good soundtrack before they actually made a game to go with it. And it shows. The ideas, the concepts, the soundtrack is pretty fantastic, but then the core gameplay ends up feeling really clunky and unpolished. Add to that a story that kinda flatlines and an ending that really just starts and ends in the last 10 minutes and you end up with a disappointing project.
Charging 40 bucks at launch was not doing them any favors as well. If it had launched at 20 dollars, maybe it would have gotten more attention. It’s honestly not worth full admission.
Personally I feel like it really reflects on the fact that West and Zuke are moreso fighting than being in a rap battle. West tends to rhyme a lot more, especially in the first encounter, because he's trying to control the situation and stay on top, but as the rap battles continue they become more focused on the actual anger between the two characters.
1:31 DK West: "I forgot your birthday, you angry."
Me: In all honesty, I'd be mad if my friends and family forgot my birthday too.
1:34 DK West: "I don't answer your messages, you angry."
Me: It depends on what the text was, but I can see why DK West thinks that's not a reason to be angry.
1:37. DK West: "I sold your drumset, you angry."
Me: I can see why Zuke would be mad about that, if DK West didn't let him know beforehand or without his permission. But DK West did tell him beforehand or with his permission, than I guess that's why DK West thinks that there's no reason to be angry.
I could just imagine what the people inside those apartments must be feeling if they have looked outside to see all of the commotion going on
You know what's so great about this game
It reminds me of two shows
Samurai Jack and Freefonix
Bro when zuke disowned DK West on the spot I was like "damn boy you didn't have to do that"
When you only able to learn 3 sentence in class
The crowd:
DK West is literally a JoJo reference on his own. Never played this game but I love it
I also loved how they rekindled their relationship in the end
Fun fact
DK West in Malay is DK Barat
Dikir Barat is a popular type of song in west Malaysia especial in Terengganu.
It’s crazy that nsr fans (or stans) burned down west’s car for no reason apparently💀💀💀💀💀💀
I really thought I wouldn’t like this sequence but that shadow puppet is so cool.
Atleast this rapper doesn't talk about how much money he has
I just realized that the shadow people(?) behind DK West was doing the Dikir Barat's choreography lmao
It was a really interesting touch
I usually can't stand rap but I've been listening to these on loop.
I love that weird little dance West does.
He's just vibin
Well, they kind aprogress from one of best raps I ever heard to just shouting at each outher while music plays
i really love the art direction of this game
The switch version on the second bout, it is virtually impossible because there is a bug that has yet to be fixed that causes the healing items to not appear
*THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!!!*
Honestly, that would explain why the whole city runs on music.
If you pay attention to the stage, you'll see a lot of lyrics will make the red blocks spell out something or show a symbol. Heres a list:
6:09 - When DK West mentions Nadia, EVE is spelled out.
6:49 - When Zuke mentions a scale of 1 to 10, the blocks spell out 1 10
9:43 - When DK West mentions Ground Zero, the blocks shape a 0
10:22 - When Zuke mentions NSR is an empire, the blocks spell out NSR
13:32 - When DK West says its Zuke's fault, a Z is shaped.
18:55 - When DK West says he has the OG grooves, OG is shaped.
20:49 - When West mentions his heart singing, a heart is shaped.
21:35 - When West mentions he left, I'M OUT is spelled.
21:40 - The blocks spell out B 2 J, meaning BBJ. Bunk Bed Junction
22:25 - When West starts to admit things, the stage becomes straight, and on Zuke's side, healing items are present every beat, indicating their relationship is starting to heal.
Those are just a view things I saw when looking for em! Feel free to add to the list.
Interesting but the English delivery is awkward and clunky. I imagine it’s better in its original language
Agreed, I listened to the first rap battle in French on Spotify out of curiosity, and that was as smooth as butter.
The English version has its charm, but after a while, I can’t help but focus on the clunkiness , sadly. But I just heard the first version though. Maybe things improved with the others.
Not to give them undo credit but it might be an intentional thing. Zuke raps on beat while DK West just tries to slam over maintaining a flow, which is super in character for them both.
@@DangoJoey That does make more sense, Zuke still is pretty levelheaded and would try to maintain a decent flow while DK West would let his emotions get in the way and end up focusing more on the battling part more than rapping.
Plus towards the end of all of them, the emotions involved made them start choking up.
Me at the first song: Hell yeah! Zuke is calling him out!
Me at the second song: Okay... maybe I do run away from all my problems... maybe I related to DK...
Me when Zuke said "You ain't no brother of mine" and kept rapping: *crying but still throwing it back*
Me when DK played that old tape: ...Older siblings always has blackmail about you.
Me at the end: ...Ight, I'm gonna call me sisters.
Rappers eminen is too scared to diss.
You kidding bro? If my rap opponent could summon shadow exodia then I would be scared too.
@@squeaktheswan2007 but you can defeat the shadow by giving high-fives, or just do even more damage by leave him hanging maybe...

Love my man DK west hes my favorite Boss because he is so friendly and nice I can totally see myself having fun with him 😎👍🏿🥳🔥😏
I know this game has so many flaws(bugs,camera etc) BUT THE EFFORT THEY DID.
Every figth against any of them is unique in an way,and they would if they wanted to be like "man fuck it this dk west just do something" but no they did something so interesting.
I love the music of dk west and sayu is so beautifully crafted amd they hired an Malian(sorry if i spelled wrong) to voice him,and he speaks the language only when he is fighting he speaks english and i always see some Malian just super happy bc they are representative in the game.
I honestly get it how the game is cringe or is bugged..but i dont think is bad like some people are always saying
@Devon Crusader ?
Malaysian :D if you're curious about the term
I dont think this is actually possible to do without being damaged.
i think its possible, it requires a lot of skill as he is one of the hardest bosses up there with eVe and titania
AWW LITTLE ZUKES VOICE AHAJAG THATS TOO CUTE 🥺💕
Whenever he states a number, the attack patterns form that number. I don't even know what this game is but I appreciate how it pays attention to details.
"I'm a little zonkey Heehaw Heehaw!"
DK West: Ini di luar Komedi.
Does anyone realize that Zuke's outfit and colour scheme looks like Jolyne from JoJo
jOjO
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that
Notice how when DK brought up Nadia, the pattern spelled out EVE?
Renegade Firehawk you right
The Wicked DK Of the West
And then the Wicked DK Of the East
i love how west has a mini breakdown over zuke "stealing his friends" amd the crowd is just there not giving a singlugar frik
DK West: I don’t know why my brother doesn’t like me, why does he ate me?
Also DK West: *threw away his guitar set, doesn’t reply to his messages, breaks a promise to not show the tape recording to anyone*
