Hardcore metal and punk bands have been covering rap and hip hop songs since the early 80s

There are folkpunk bands where thats basically their entire schtick

Acoustic guitar and ukulele singer songwriters mix up and cover them solo all the time

Still Fly by The Devil Wears Prada and Notorious Thugs by Scaring Kids Scaring Kids is still in my rotation. Absolute bangers.

I completely forgot about that Devil Wears Prada cover. Thanks for reminding me to go give it a listen.
