1. Black Panther - Jay-Z - 99 Problems/Dirt Off Your Shoulder - I know they would never do this song because it disrespects the whole female gender, but his woman situation is handled and he has 99+ problems in this new book. However, if they wanted to do a one shot where he is in New York and gets racially profiled, specially what has been going on lately. They wouldn't have to reference the song directly but give a big wink to it. Lyrics that would work:
"Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or something?"
Nah I ain't passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my ish.
BOOM. How awesome would something like that in the Black Panther book. The other song they could have wrote is Dirt off your shoulder. With their writers it would be incredibly easy to weave in something like when T'Challa fighting for the throne and the right to be the Black Panther, some people would be proud, some jealous.
All the ballers is bouncin' they like the way I be leanin'
All the rappers be hatin', off the track that I'm makin'
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots
2. Uncanny Inhumans - Outkast - Rosa Parks/SpottieOttiedopaliscious - Since Marvel is forcing the Inhumans down our throat they have a lot of characters to play with. I think a one shot where they find some new Inhumans that are unhappy in their situation and being persecuted against.
Said baby boy you only funky as your last cut
You focus on the past your @$$'ll be a has what
that's one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure
Andre, got to her station here's my destination
They could also use SpottieOttiedopaliscious track where they find an Inhuman like Ulysses who needs to step up and take responsibility. It is lesson that they have done to death and sure they could put a nice little Inhuman twist to it.
One moment you frequent the booty clubs &
the next four years you & somebody's daughter
raisin' y'all own young'n now that's a beautiful thang
that's if you're on top of your game
and man enough to handle real life situations [that is]
Can't gamble feeding baby on that dope money
might not always be sufficient but the
United Parcel Service & the people at the Post Office
didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss
3. Iron Man - 50 Cent - Patiently Waiting - Tony Stark would be incredibly easy to fit in with any rappers lyrics. Do you call it bragging if it is still true? Absolutely. He is incredibly arrogant which most rappers are and have to be. With the lines below they could have done him writing a memoir about how he grew up without a dad or his problems with alcoholism.
Picture me pen in hand write lines knowing the source'll quote it
When I die, they'll read this and say a genius wrote it
I grew up without my pops should that make me bitter?
I caught cases I copped out does that make me a quitter?
4. Silver Surfer - Drake - Connect - Silver Surfer is a great character with a tragic past. I am sure there are a ton of Drake's songs that would fit just as well, but they could do a flash back to his paramore before he was Galactus' herald.
I remember when my schedule was as flexible as she is
She call and tell me be here before the sun up
I be dressed before we hung up
I take Eglinton to 401 east
And exit at Markham road and the East end
Where all the pretty girls are sleeping
Missed Opportunities: The Game - Martians vs. Goblins - This song is awesome especially since they mention Blanca from Street fighter, Spiderman and The Hulk. How could they not do a cover with him?
Martians versus Goblins, goons versus the crooks
And since me and Tune had Viacom shook
I shoulda got a real-@$$ pirate to do the hook
Maybe Jack Sparrow maybe Peter Pan's nemesis
My power's limitless like Blanca on Sega Genesis
Superhero, mad that Marvel overlooked me
Cause Spiderman and Hulk straight....
Missed Opportunities: Random or Mega Ran depending on how you look him up - Splash Woman - This song is great with an 8 bit tune and basically about a Megaman level. This one is pretty self explanatory and would be so easy to turn into a book. If you are a Megaman fan or an 8-bit fan you have to check this song out.
She used to save victims that fell through the surface
A few days ago her contract expired
And she was scheduled to be thrown into the fire
And Wily gave her a reason to live
So now she gotta do what he says
She shed a tear and said you don't understand
I gotta stick to the plan, I owe everything to this man
So please Mega Ran, don't take it personal
Cause it hurts I know, I'll make it worse y'know
But he saved me baby
To turn my back on Wily would be just plain crazy
She said it's the only way it can end
Let the, battle begin and we can't be friends
So my heart sunk low as the lair door closed
Drew the Mega Buster cause it's time to roll, here we go
What do you guys think? Any covers that could be turned into books? Am I a moron and is this a terrible idea? Let me know in the comments.
