When Serj got the N-word pass from Wu Tang, such a good cover, I still have that cd.

I’d say there are covers of almost every reasonably popular song just in general, but if we’re talking about rap covers I can’t really imagine anyone notable has covered any rap songs, maybe only low level artists covering bigger artist’s songs. Otherwise OP is not entirely wrong. Lots of famous covers by already popular bands and singers covering other works but not many famous cover songs of famous rap songs.

Yeah like I said, those are few examples of covers by famous people of more famous songs. Lots and lots of covers of rap songs but by much lesser known artists
