    Anybody else like rock covers to rap songs? I know most of the time it’s intended to make fun of rap but I like some of them. There’s an album called ‘Punk goes Crunk’, which is garbage. New Found Glory completely butchered a good song (Arrested Development’s – Tennessee) but I do think this one is hilarious.

    The Devil Wears Prada – Big Tymer’s Still Fly cover
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/64kKJPxt6xw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/64kKJPxt6xw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    I kinda like this one
    30 Seconds to Mars – Kanye West’s Stronger cover
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0XC_Rj51DLI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0XC_Rj51DLI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    I think the Raconteurs did a good job with Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H7Eby4PSVcw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H7Eby4PSVcw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Anybody know of some good ones?

    No. Us in the hip hop community like to call those "remixes". :D

    ...and for anybody who knows Cee lo and Danger mouse they're about as hip hop as it gets.

    By the way, thumbs up on the Alanis Morisette she really went all out on it. Thumbs down to everything else, especially that one by Dynamite Hack. Its not cool to mock dead people (or use the n word when you're white).

    If you ever hear a cover of Westside Connection's Bow Down on a violin, then you will love violins. I can't find it anymore though!

    I have this album which is a string quartet doing covers of some of 2pac's biggest hits. It's pretty sweet.

    Jonathan Coulton - Baby Got Back.

    It's more jack johnson than hardcore rock, but still awesome.

    It's not really rap, R&B but still really good.
