Favorite hip-hop cover song

What's some of your favorite hip-hop songs that a rapper/group covered from another rapper/group?

Mine are probably

"Lodi Dodi" by Snoop Dogg - (Cover of "La Di Da Di" by Doug E. Fresh & MC Ricky D (Slick Rick))
"Paper'd Up" by Snoop Dogg - (Cover of "Paid In Full" by Eric B. & Rakim)
"Guerilla Pimpin'" by SixTwo (TwoFace) & Dr. Dre - (Cover of "Guerilla Pimpin'" by MC Breed & The D.O.C.)

I got alot more, but since I'm kinda busy at the moment, I'll post more later. Y'all have at it now.

I loved Rapper's Delight remake by Def Squad and Sucker MC's by Wu Tang Clan

If I Ruled The World by Nas- (Cover of same title by Kurtis Blow)
Twinz by Big Pun & Fat Joe- (Cover of Deep Cover by Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg)
Check Yourself by Ice Cube- (Cover of The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five)
Three Bricks by Ghostface Killah- (Cover of What's Beef by Notorious BIG)
Rapper's Delight by Def Squad- (Cover of same title by Sugar Hill Gang)

Damn, i forgot about Twinz. Good call. I also liked Puff Daddy''s cover of the Message too.

For those who are interestd. There is a compilation titled In The Beginning There Was Rap, and it is nothing but covers. It's a dope album too.

Yeah, Fuck The Police by Bone Thugs is really dope. There was a strictly NWA covers cd too awhile back...forget what it's called, but I think the Bone song is on there, too.

Yeah, that Bone song has been on like 3 different comp's.

Great choices, KJ. Also I forgot about Bone's Fuck Tha Police cover. That one was dope.
