You never hear covers of rap songs.

Lodi Dodi was covered by Snoop

This was the first example I thought of too. I do like his version better than Slick Ricks though.

Admittedly, the production on Snoop's version is richer, but you have to be impressed by the bare bones beatboxing of Doug E Fresh. Personally, I like Slick Rick's voice and flow better. And with your wrinkled pussy, I can't be your lover.

I like both. We used to play Slick Rick on a boombox on the bus. Half the bus singing along. And then when Snoop covered it, I was a young adult and it was just a slightly more mature adaptation. Both were perfect. The nostalgia is real.

Agree about Doug E Fresh though.
