I also dig Spidey doing A Tribe Called Quest. Would have preferred though Spidey doing a Nas cover since they both are from Queens. We also need a Deadpool cover paying homage to Eminem album lol. Or maybe Deadpool paying homage to LL's Bad lol.

Yea I know but I would prefer they do like the groups with teams you know have homage to solo artists with solo heroes.

And also I'm a Nas stan and a Spidey stan and if they were to combine on a cover, my head may exploded in excitement.
