I had never imagined a hip-hop song could be covered for piano and actually sound good.. until I heard Ray Mak's piano cover of Not Afraid, one of Eminem's greatest songs. Now, Em' has been my favorite rapper since I was a kid, and so, besides being eager, I even felt kinda obliged to learn this one!
