10 Best Cover Songs That Completely Ignored Their Original Genre

9. Mindless Self Indulgence - Bring The Pain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKMvDtZBj4 Originally By: Method Man This cover feels somewhat awkward at first but it has a strange appeal. Method Man's earned the respect of hip hop fans the world over through being a member of Wu-Tang Clan, one of the all-time greatest rap collectives. His easy flow and natural ability to smoothly string lyrics together seamlessly has earned him acclaim from hip hop critics as one of the best East Coast rappers to ever grace the mic. Bring the Pain is a hardcore rap song that you'd never really expect to be covered by an industrial band, but you'd be wrong. Mindless Self Indulgence kept every lyric intact, a somewhat risqué move with the song containing various instances of the N-word and the band being all-white. Taking rap lyrics and applying them to a frantic punk-infused sound makes one feel uneasy at first but it kind of grows on you. These are definitely two genres that really don't go hand-in-hand but Mindless Self Indulgence has made it work. Don't be shy, it may be loud and ugly, but it can be warmed to.
