Default Acoustic guitar rap?

So today me and my friend where jamming. He started strumming some basic chords and I improvised some rap lyrics over the chords. And surprisingly, it sounded pretty good.

Now I'm just looking for some folk-rap kind of stuff. Imagine early Bob Dylan songs like the "Times They Are A-Changing" with the lyrics rapped instead of sung. Are there such songs and bands? The main instrument should be strummed acoustic guitar.

Only Wyclef and Everlast come to mind, Oh and Flight of the concords



I gotta say though i think if you want to approach this style of rapping don't try to sample iconic folk songs instead try to create your own cause the thing about sampling already known songs is there is a chance you'll f*ck up the song and butcher it and some ppl will hate that cause they love the song as it is..

i honestly think it's best to either create your own songs like that or either sample more obscure songs that have a good rhythm for that kinda thing but i suggest you stay away from the big hits..

I wasn't talking about sampling the folk songs. I was just trying to explain what I want it to sound like.

That Uncluded song was great- especially because Kimya Dawson was there.
