For all of us disgusted with the gross overtones of white people sucking all the soul and danger out of “covering” Beyoncé’s “Formation” and Rihanna’s “Work”, there’s a cure: #TrapCovers!

Radiohead’s “Creep”
“Black Betty” by Ram Jam
The Mentos jingle
That one song by the Moldy Peaches
Anything by Peaches
The song “Peaches”
