Todays rip: 13/05/2024

Stickerbrush Queen

Season 1 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume L [Side A]

Ripped by toonlink

youtube

EIGHT. Years later. And we're still jammin'. I can't believe I missed the anniversary to such a historic part of the channel's legacy. I hope the world can forgive me for being a whole day late and that we can all recover from this scandal together.

Stickerbush Symphony is one of the most revered songs within VGM to a degree I don't think I can describe accurately. The original version from Donkey Kong Country 2 is still arguably David Wise's magnum opus and continues to touch hearts everywhere through its various YouTube reuploads, wheras the equally-beautiful remix in Super Smash Bros. Brawl has its hooks in an entire generation of Wii kids who are forever attached to the theme through its prominence in the Subspace Emissary campaign. It of course has a huge presence on SiIvaGunner too, one I've covered multiple times before, most notably in Sidelined Symphony. Yet the song's presence on SiIvaGunner has branched out into something entirely different, an outright franchise of bangers based on the already banging Brawl remix - all of which started with Stickerbrush Queen.

Yes, you'll have to forgive me for Toonlink-glazing once again...it's likely that not even this will be his final appearance on here, but it genuinely cannot be overemphasized just how much of Season 1's spirit was defined by his contributions. Rips like The Great Weed and Dr. Soulja are just quintessential SiIvaGunner to me, and were my go-to rips to share back in 2016, their comedic timing near unmatched, but Toonlink's versatility as a ripper extended to genuine bangers as well. Case and point - Stickerbrush Queen, the first-ever rip of Brawl's interpretation of Bramble Blast, and one that hit the nail on the head right away with an utmost brilliant idea - to use the track as the backing beat to a rap mashup. Whether or not you have attachment to Trap Queen or Fetty Wap before listening doesn't matter - the two halves of the rip lift each other up in such perfect harmony, that it starts to feel wrong to listen to them in isolation afterward.

In my eyes, a huge part of what makes the mashup work is that its playing to the traits of Trap Queen rather than lifting it into a completely different environment - its beat in the original version has a very similar bright, sparkly sound to Brawl's Bramble Blast, and the contrast between it and the vocals are likely part of how Trap Queen was envisioned. More drastic tone changes in rap mashups can certainly bang, I fucking love Sweatpants Select for that very reason, yet there's something just so elegant about how Stickerbrush Queen does it - it still FEELS different, the Bramble Blast instrumental is undeniably emotional, yet its able to balance itself out through the steady rhythm of Trap Queen's vocals. The break in the middle of the rip, at around a minute in, hits extra hard though - the instrumental additions to Trap Queen changing in turn make it such a memorable part of the whole and unify the two songs amazingly well.

Being uploaded so early into the channel's very first season, during the period of time in which EVERYONE's eyes were on this weird new music uploading channel, Stickerbrush Queen slowly garnered a sort of legendary reputation. Perhaps that was just my view of things, but it was one that got validated more and more as the channel went on. More Bramble Blast and Stickerbush Symphony rips were made over the months and years, ones like Stickerbrush State of Mind and more, that all felt like they were paying tribute to the very beginnings of it all. Eventually, those tributes would become direct - The premiere to Season 6 of the channel, Bramble Blast Collab, includes direct nods to this one rip, and its only one of several examples - most notably, a direct tribute to it on Season 7's RIP² album. This release, 7 YEARS LATER AND WE STILL JAMMIN', is of course also notable for referencing perhaps what the rip is most known for these days - the persistence of one sole commenter who returns to Stickerbrush Queen once a year on its anniversary to remind everyone that, yes, all these years later we ARE still jammin'.

Eight years, huh...that's nutty to think about - and yet even with its age, this one sole rip continues to be referenced all over the place on the channel. Stickerbush Symphony, Bramble Blast,whatever you want to call it (even StickerBRUSH Symphony if you're wrong), continues to live on, celebrated as the legendary piece of VGM it always has been - yet the contribution Toonlink made to its legacy all those years ago feels everpresent in a way that's really fun to see - almost EVERYONE following the channel has heard that one mashup at one point or another. Be it the aforementioned direct arrangement of it on RIP², or this fucking stupid tweet that blew up around the rip's fifth anniversary...its the kind of rip that just brings the community together any time we get to hear a trace of it. The definition of an enduring classic - and yes, we are STILL Jammin'.

So, in Elden Ring, the second-generation Albinaurics dress in drab and ragged clothes, are born without the Grace of the Erdtree, and have big, dumpy, frog-like heads.

In other words:

He has no style

He has no grace

This this frog has a funny face

If they ever remake DK 64 they either need to keep the DK Rap EXACTLY the same or they need to let Lil Nas X go wild.

I had a dream there was something called ”The Bob Velseb Show” which was an animated tv-series with Bob as MC. All I remember is that the intro theme was a DK Rap style song.

Apparently the composer of the DK rap, Grant Kirkhope, wasn't properly credited in the Mario Movie. The credits mentioned the game the rap came from, but did not mention him by name. And I've already seen some people saying "if you credited every single person who touched a project the credits would be an hour and thirty minutes long"

And to those people I say- fuck you.

If things aren't properly credited we get situations like the Roblox "Oof" noise.

We don't need more fucking Tommy Talarico nonsense. We don't.

Credit the man who made the rap.

Todays rip: 23/01/2024

CG Man HD Remastered Edition

Season 3 Featured on: Inspector Gunner 2 With Critic

Ripped by Knay

youtube

That's right - while I was digging through the Nostalgia Critic takeover of Season 3 to cover Fragile Snowman (Remastered), I was reminded of yet another of its fantastic remasters. And while the former rip is mostly associated with the very beginnings of the channel, ones that were oft quite simple in concept yet still unpredictable in contents, the original version of CG Man HD Remastered Edition is in the far opposite camp: as part of the Season 1 finale.

And like, look, it's not that I INTENTIONALLY cover so many rips from around the time of Season 1 ending in particular. Really, it's just a natural consequence of the event having some of the channel's most memorable rips, as if everyone was firing on all cylinders to leave a mark on the channel before its (supposed) end. Memey Hell, Planet Wisp Mashup Medley, File Select Fusion Collab, Everyday Goodbyes (SiIvaGunner Band Cover), Stone Halation, and of course - Epic Flintstones - all had this underlying tinge of bittersweetness to them, as if to encourage us to smile despite the very real possibility that the channel would never return, never be truly recaptured. And as a remix of the late-90s Nickelodeon kids' childhood anthem, CG Man HD Remastered Edition falls right under that same umbrella.

I've covered a few rips of Donkey Kong 64 on here, of course, with Friday Night Minecartin' and DK Rap God, yet the latter rip and its insane sentence mixing of the DK Rap was only made possible through the influence of DK64's most famous rip on the channel - The Coconut Gun Rap. Made early in the channel's life by the ever-talented Harmony Friends, its classic YTP sentence mixing in a direction few would expect, focusing on Donkey Kong's hit weapon the Coconut Gun. The rip is an actual masterpiece that I'm well overdue to cover on here, yet the most brilliant part of it is that its able to referenced in its entirety through nothing but a two-second soundbyte - the Coconut Gun lyric itself! Ever since its release, the Coconut Gun soundbyte has appeared in numerous rips, including the aforementioned File Select Fusion Collab, but few rips feel as much like a whollistic tribute to it as the one in focus today.

Indeed, by being based on Ocean Man from Ween, more well known as the credits theme to The SpongeBob Movie, there's an inherent bittersweetness attached to the song, something I imagine is only enhanced by the nostalgia-factor for those who grew up with the movie (sorry, spongeheads). Yet, those feelings ARE enhanced by the Coconut Gun cover itself, as CG Man HD Remastered Edition and its non-remastered counterpart is an all-new sentence-mixed cover of the song, again in the same vein as DK Rap God. To my knowledge, this was one of the first time that a rip utilized sentence mixing the DK Rap *after* the debut of The Coconut Gun Rap, and it sort of ends up feeling like a full-circle moment as a result? I mean, sure, it is still edited to be spouting obscenities and insults, but it would almost feel out of character if it wasn't - that is to clarify, out of character for a sentence-mixing shitpost.

Because that was part of the magic of the Season 1 finale, the magic of The Reboot, and really the magic of SiIvaGunner's lore in general. It made a lot of us genuinely care and become attached to jokes, mere tools to be used by rippers for shitposts. Because the team's just had such a good track record of paying tribute to and building atop a joke's prior established history, keeping them "in character" as it were, to where it did actually end up feeling bittersweet to see them all go in the Season 1 finale. File Select Fusion Collab captures that essence more whollistically, but for The Coconut Gun Rap in particular as a meme, I could not think of a more befitting sendoff than CG Man HD Remastered Edition.

DK Rap God

Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume V Ripped by berg8793

youtube

It feels like some rips just speak for themselves sometimes, yknow?

At the same time, its a bit bizarre to think that DK Rap-posting wasn't really much of a thing before Season 1 SiIva. For sure people still poked fun at it and reminded everyone of how silly it was, but it wasn't until the various Coconut Gun-adjacent edits of the track that the SiIva team put out that the track really started becoming a kind of haven for YTPMV artists. The DK Rap has been ripped 14 times and appeared as part of a different joke several dozen more times, and is pretty solidly a mainstay of the channel by this point, always growing in ways its vocals and instruments are used for The Funny. Yet I think most of us would agree, its hard to top the point we're at with DK Rap God.

I mean its such an absurd but genius concept, a true madman's idea: Sentence mixing crusty N64 audio into the most infamously unintelligible rap song ever made? Yet berg8793, this legend of a ripper not even part of the core team, made this as his third ever contribution to the channel - and its gloriously indulgent in how well it executes that concept. Long live the DK Rap everybody
