T-Pain reimagined Black Sabbath in what Ozzy Osbourne calls the best 'War Pigs' cover ever

The song, part of a wicked set called On Top of the Covers (Live From the Sun Rose), is a thrill from start to finish—shifting from psychedelic jam-band grooves to funky hard-rock embellishments. T-Pain’s studio version of "War Pigs" appears on the singer’s covers LP On Top of the Covers, and that rendition earned a co-sign from Black Sabbath bassist-lyricist Geezer Butler, who posted the YouTube link on X and called it "great." The album highlighted the breadth of T-Pain’s range, also featuring covers of soul classics (Sam Cooke’s "A Change Is Gonna Come"), old-school country songs (David Allan Coe’s "Tennessee Whiskey"), and arena-rock power-ballads (Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin’").
