* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Parodied in the episode "Total Rickall," where Summer is taken on a magical ''My Little Pony''-style fantasy musical sequence that gets jarringly interrupted by a rapper who shouts angry rap verses out of his sports car.

** Lady Gaga featured Music/FloRida on "Starstruck", a track from her debut album, ''The Fame''. It's not a very well-known song of hers, but it's still kind of out-of-nowhere, especially considering Gaga rarely has guest verses on her songs.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ62TFSQUGI During the]] 2022 Usefulnotes/AcademyAwards, [[Westernanimation/{{Encanto}} "We Don't Talk About Bruno"]] gained a rap verse by Music/MeganTheeStallion.

* Tex Richman does this for his VillainSong in ''Film/TheMuppets''. This is actually [[InvertedTrope inverted]] in the full number, which had an opera break that was cut from the final film.

* "Roll the Bones" by Music/{{Rush}}, provided by usual vocalist Geddy Lee, but with his voice drastically altered via studio effects.

* Juno Reactor's "City of the Sinful", from ''Gods and Monsters'', features Ghetto Priest, and is so far the only song of theirs with rap vocals.

* A very early version (possibly an UrExample, and definitely an [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome example]]) was the Run-DMC cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" in which the rappers took over the vocals.

* Selena Gomez:
** "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" by Music/SelenaGomez features one by an uncredited rapper.

* Demi Lovato
** "Who's That Boy" by Music/DemiLovato features a rap by Dev. (However, since they almost sound similar, it's hard to tell if Demi or Dev was doing the rap in the middle of the song.)

* Miley Cyrus

* The cartoon themed group ''{{Music/Gorillaz}}'' is an interesting case. Their first hit single - called "Clint Eastwood" - featured Del The Funky Homosapien as the rapper. From there on, quite a bit of their singles have been examples of this, though most of their less popular songs are rap-free, with an occasional guest singer. This trope became a point of contention among fans when Humanz released, being so chock full of guest rappers you'd be lucky to pick a random song off the album that had so much as a single word from 2D, which led them to pointedly avert this trope on Sleeping Powder, a lone single that in-story was made exclusively by 2D.

* Alice Cooper's "Dirty Diamonds" album was his usual style, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0p4QFYGXAo right until Xzibit shows up for the bonus track at the end.]] The guest appearance was a little less inexplicable when "Stand" first appeared on '' Unity: The Official Athens 2004 Olympic Games Album'' a year earlier since it was a compilation themed around collaborations.

** Another example is when San Marino's 2021 entry featured a rap section from serial Wild rapper ''Music/FloRida'', of all people.
*** Greece 2014 and a bizzarre case from Bosnia's sole entry since 2012 (in 2016) are the most random guest rapper involvements.

* Off the Hook from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' is a music duo consisting of pop vocals by Marina and rap vocals by Pearl, all done in ConLang.

* Snap!'s "Rhythm is a Dancer" originally had spoken-word bridges, which were replaced with a proper rap in the 7" single edit, courtesy of Durron Butler.

* Music/{{KMFDM}}, of all bands, does this in a few tracks on ''UAIOE'' (most notably "Murder"), courtesy of a mysterious Jamaican vocalist by the name of Morgan Adjei. Suffice to say, it isn't one of their more popular albums.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2137 SCP-2137]], "The Forensic Ghost of Music/TupacShakur" (written by Creator/MaxLandis), where long-unsolved crimes by still active criminals would be told in a song by an old artist (including the Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, and The Who) featuring a guest verse by Music/TupacShakur (who is normally the "primary artist", doing a rap about a murderer on the loose).

** Beyoncé had a rap verse on "Telephone".

** Also by Perry, a version of "E.T." (featured in the music video) had Music/KanyeWest doing a rap in it. This is especially hilarious because Kanye ruins any subtlety the song had about romance with someone extremely different from yourself, by interjecting with "Tell me what's next? Alien sex!"

** ''Ascension Millenium'' by Corey Feldman. Must be seen to be believed.

* ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' features Wam and his gang breaking into freestyle rap approximately OncePerEpisode, singing about recent goings-on related to the show's plot.

* The full version of the OP from ''Anime/InfiniteRyvius'' features a rather jarring Engrish rap verse which ruins a fairly good song.

->''And now the token rap verse that doesn't make any sense''
->''But helps me get a small percentage of the urban music market''

** R & B/ New Jack Swing group Full Force have a few songs featuring a distinctively high-voiced rapper identified in {{singer name drop}}s as E-Coff, but he's most likely one of the regular members affecting a different voice with the aid of studio effects: "E-Coff"'s contributions are never listed in album credits, and in the music video for "Ain't My Type Of Hype" he's portrayed as [[RogerRabbitEffect an animated character dancing alongside the group]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': The Music/BeastieBoys show up during [[Recap/FuturamaS1E9HellIsOtherRobots "Hell is Other Robots" to deliver a few lines about what awaits Bender in Level 5 of Robot Hell.
