Accoustic covers of rap songs

I think accoustic covers of rap songs are pretty fun. Keep in mind most of these are still should have a little parental advisory sticker and are prolly not safe forwork. At any rate though, i'll post a few of the best i've found. For those available online, i'll link to the homepage, not the mp3. Sorry, it's polite.

Kellen Malloy has done a few interesting covers:
What's Your Fantasy
Big Pimpin and
Ride Wit Me

This guy, jonathan coulton's got some real good songs. A few rap covers, and a bunch of originals.
He's sorta popular for his cover of:
Baby's Got Back

These is a cover of Gin and Juice all over the internets. Many of you may have heard it. It claims to be by Phish, but it is actually by a band called the Gordes. I dont know that it's anywhere on the internet for free or whatever, but it's here on some dude's website, so you can check it that way.

One of the oldest one's i know is "Boys in the Hood" by dynamite hack.(cover of NWA, naturally.) I dont know if it's available online, and my server that i'd normally use is havent issues. I'll check the internet real quick. I found a dozen or so places that had it, but the RIAA has been shutting down more of those types of sites. Anyhow, it's a classic. I have it, so if you really want it, ask me.

I think the only other one i know is Ben Fold's cover of "B**ches ain't S**t" by dr dre. This is prolly one of my favorites, if you like Folds or dre, buy the song on itunes, it's worth it.

That's all i got. If you know anymore that i didnt say, let me know.
