it is a kinda interesting concept, and could be even more interesting if an above par MC from 20 years ago were to try it (specifically, i’m thinking of Rakim)

@Maura Johnston: " I'm no expert in these matters, but as far as I know, no one has done a covers album like this before. Yes, there are albums of rap covers, but only done in different styles, like folk or indie."

@Audif Jackson Winters III: To continue the digression: I never understood why DD chose to follow up their legitimate early-'90s comeback -- a best-selling album with two real, and respectable, pop hits -- with a covers album. Covers albums smack of desperation, but at that point, career-wise, DD weren't even desperate! Why, Simon, why?

That's awesome: 31% of his covers are himself. It's like being too bad ass to compromise your cover artistic vision with influence from other artists.

I'm in complete awe.
