Acoustic Covers of Rap/Hip Hop Songs
I’m going to start up a new series of posts. “Acoustic covers of rap/hip hop songs” that I like. I’ll start by admitting I don’t really like rap/hip hop music. Some songs are ‘ok’, if I’m in the right mood, a few I have even enjoyed from time to time, but I’ve never bought a rap/hip hop album, and I doubt I ever will. We’ll see though, I’d like to think my music tastes are not beyond “evolving”.
Despite what I just said, I do have to admit that there are a lot of really great lyrics written for rap/hip hop. I used to think the only way to get to listen to them, was to suffer through the actual song, or possibly some sort of techno remix.
Fortunately some thoughtful folk/rock and roll artists have been thoughtful enough to start covering these songs with some pretty good results. So over the next few weeks I’m going to post some of my favorites.
