Weirdest rap appearances on a pop song

Message Bookmarked

Like a pop song where in the middle, a rapper drops a verse, and you can't figure out why the hell he was just on the track?

I still think Michael Jackson having Notorious B.I.G. guest was weird. Especially given that in his verse he says "I'll kill a nigga", which seems to be kind of....not what MJ is all about. And on Invincible, they lifted the verse right from Can't Stop the Reign, making it...well...recycled and old!

Also hated Redman on Dirrty.

Charlene Spiteri kinda toe-curlingly embarrassing there.

KRS also had a notably weird appearance on "Good Kill" by Too Much Joy, which they talk about here

I wanted to post Rush "Roll the Bones" here but you can only get it on MTV.com with ads.

Dunno if anyone's mentioned it, but the low-profile rap on the ambient end bit of Curve's "Cherry" was seriously strange!!!!!! Not unike the rest of the track in fact!!!!!!
