Non-Rappers covering Rap Songs
April 11th, 2007 . by Jilly
Last week, I had the misfortune of watching the horrible Alanis Morrisette cover of the Black Eyed Peas. I wouldn’t recommend watching it. I now have the image of Alanis gyrating indelibly etched into my mind. I know this is a parody, but I think others have done it better.
I really liked Dynamite Hack’s cover of Boyz-N-The-Hood by N.W.A. You can see it here (NSFW).
Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt) covered Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. You can check that out here (also NSFW).
Then there’s this cover of Gin and Juice and here’s a cover of Baby Got Back, which are just alright. But Dynamite Hack’s cover is still the best I’ve ever heard.
