cover or remix it?

the other day i was driving to school with my friend in her car, and she put on a CD. (note to self: make mix cd's for when you drive, keeps your hands on the wheel and off the radio...helpful tip for anybody). one of the songs she put on was an alternative band's cover of "I Wanna Love You" by Akon and Snoop dee-oh-double-g. at first, i was alright with it, but then the sound of the lead singer singing the lyrics of this dirty RnB/rap mix just didn't work out for me. SO! to all alternative bands out there that are thinking of covering rap songs, just don't. let other rappers remix the songs or even do a remix yourself, but don't cover it. it doesn't always turn out that well. i mean, if it sounds good do it but if it doesn't...save yourself the trouble. this has been a public service announcement.
