2697322, I disagree hip hop accepts covers readily

just in a "hip hop" way

their was a 90's album of hip hop covers. the name of it escapes me but the Roots were on it.

Snoop has covered the Vapors and Ladidodi

T.R.O.Y. has been covered by several hip hop artists

even tho artists dont actually cover whole songs on an album their are so many times an artist interpolates another hip hop song that its crazy see The message essentially interpolated in Ice Cubes "check yourself" remix. this doesnt even count all the recycled hooks and choruses

in addtion its pretty standard now adays for artists to cover other hip hop songs in live performances. the Roots have made a living off of this

thats a diffrent catagory but I like the idea
