The other day, while in a clothing store (I think it may have been
H&M, but not sure) in Manhattan, I heard a cover of U2's "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" that was quite good. It was sung
by a female vocalist, with other female voices singing harmony, and
had a folksy vibe to it. There was an atrocious rap interlude in the
middle of the song, but I couldn't identify the rapper.

I've searched iTunes and Google and have found several cover versions
of the song, but none of them seem to be the one I heard in the store.
Can you please identify the version I heard in the store?

Hello.

It sounds like you're describing a cover version called "Haven't
Found"  by rapper Pras Michel.
 
The song features female singers singing the U2 song along with a rap
interlude by Pras Michel.

Listen to the song and watch the video here:

I've seen Cher perfoming that song in one of her concert. There were a
lot of female singers too. It was the opening song of the concert.
