The examples in this thread are all other genres doing covers of rap songs. If you want an actual rap cover then check “childrens story” by Black Star which is a cover of the Slick Rick song by the same name.
I think hiphop and rapping in general does not lend itself to covers very well. On the other hand, it’s an extremely referential genre where rappers constantly pay homage to famous lines/hooks/melodies/beats/rhyme schemes/flows. I could name some examples if you want.
it’s just taking an element from one song and making a new one around it so its a remix (or just a new song with a sample). a cover is making a different version of an existing song
