Certain Jack Johnson songs sound like borderline acoustic rap, at least in parts.

Check out "Cali Agents - Neva Forget" obviously they aren't a folk hip-hop group but in this particular track they rap over an acoustic guitar sample.

I think the band you may be looking for is 'Dizraeli and the Small Gods'. They don't sound like _old_ folk with rap lyrics, but they do sound like awesome.

I actually can't even click on those YouTube videos and can't tell what they are from my phone (plugin needed blah blah).. but if Gangstagrass hasn't been mentioned yet, they're ****in excellent. Lightning on the Strings and Rappalachia are both really cool albums, and here's a great one off track.

Fugees - Vocab, from their debut album Blunted On Reality.
Fugees and Lauryn Hill often employ acoustic guitars
