Cover Me Up.

Alrightalrightalright, so I fiiinally started my music blog. Still don't know how to add music, but I'll get there -sigh-. So in the last couple months or so, I was sort of bombarded with covers of songs, mainly performed by more hardcore/alternative-esque type bands. And funny story, the majority of these covers are either of hip-hop or rap songs. Go figure, is the new Crunk n' B, Crunk n' ... Metal? If so, I could totally see it. Just yesterday a good friend of mine sent me a song by a band called Skindred whom I'd never heard of before, & they have this whole reggae-metal thing going for them. Sound like your cup of tea? Check out their cover of Electric Avenue here.

So moving along with this whole covers deal, here's my list of the top 5 pop/hip-hop/rap covers by bands of a complete opposite genre: *Update*: Fiiinally figured out the mp3 thing, so I've added the actual audio files for your musical enjoyment!

1. Still Fly - The Devil Wears Prada
2. Swing - Miss May I
3. Toxic - A Static Lullaby
4. Notorious Thugs - Scary Kids Scaring Kids
5. Put Yo Hood Up - Set Your Goals

Now granted these songs may not be amazing, but they can definitely get a laugh or two outta me. If you're interested, check out the album Punk Goes Crunk here.
