* [[Played for Laughs]] on the Bellamy Brothers song "Country Rap", which fuses stereotypical country lyrics with common late-80s perceptions of rap.
* [[Toby Keith]]'s singles "Getcha Some" and "I Wanna Talk About Me" are examples, keeping country instrumentation but using quick, spoken lyrics.
* [[Jason Aldean]]'s "Dirt Road Anthem" is a cover of a song co-written by Colt Ford. Yes, it keeps the rap part intact. And Jason took it to the extreme by remixing it with [[Ludacris]].
* While not a direct example, Montgomery Gentry's "If You Ever Stop Loving Me" has a turntable scratch in it.
* Some people argue that Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was the first rap song. Think about it.
* [[The Gourds]] are technically [[Alternative Country]], but as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hGSR5njZE their cover] of [[Snoop Dogg]]'s "Gin and Juice" demonstrates, they indulge in a little Country Rap on occasion.
