It should just be called "Shitty bands playing shitty music"

WESTD (January 31, 2008)

These bands can't even write and play an original song well, what makes people think they would do any better covering someone else's music?

Dante3000 (rich) (January 31, 2008)

I'm sorry but this seems like an absolutely horrible idea. This is so incredibly poorly concieved and has soo many issues. Not the least of which is that "crunk" is a style or rap, not all rap inclusive, so they better stick to the Southern strip club bangers. Any other rap and it'd be like a Def Jux doing "Hip Hop gone Grind" and having artists cover Lifehouse.

Yeah, Fearless is actually disrespecting two genres at once.
Nice.

That's a babblefish translation but I think that's the language you were using.

fallingupwards84 (January 31, 2008)

This time, the label is tackling rap and hip hop

"crunk" is neither rap nor hip hop... its a perverted and bastard version of a great genre of music that arguably died (at least in the mainstream) several years ago

Cos (January 31, 2008)

I kinda liked crunk, for what it was. Lil' Jon said it best... its loud, aggressive, simple... its like black punk rock. I think he said it in Mass Appeal like 4 years ago.

fallingupwards84 (January 31, 2008)

yea its loud and simple, but its missing any sort of message whatsoever, unlike most rap artists from the past

listofdemands (February 1, 2008)

i completely agree. there's no art in it. it's garbage. underground is still alive and well and i couldn't be happier.

randomhero323 (January 31, 2008)

most rappers(besides the ones playing it obviously) hate crunk. It has no lyrical meaning and is just a simple club beat with people yelling.

BarleyPat (January 31, 2008)

Although there is no fucking way I'd pay for it, this is actually such a train wreck that I want to hear it. How about your top 3 rappers (or group)?

Public Enemy (at least the older stuff)

2Pac, Biggie, Mos Def, Wu-Tang, Kanye West, Ice Cube, and Talib Kweli are my favs

i can give you a top 50, but not a top 3. i like way too many different artists to pick a top 3.

Fearless Records = NOT a punk label. No matter how much they want to be. Are you fucking kidding me!?

Banger (February 1, 2008)

After several years and several tries, Fearless finally stumbles upon the formula for absolute, unadulterated crap. As a result, every other album in existence will become slightly better by comparison.

Bravo!

I want to see someone cover Hot dollar Streets on Lock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DlHCngvyNs

Maybe, just maybe!
You guys can just shut up and see the humor, especially in "Punk Goes Crunk."
It's just funny, hearing let's say All TIme Low do a cover of "Umbrella." You just need to chill the hell out and get over yourselves.

All the smartass comments that you post make you look like nothing more then an asshole. I signed up on this just to tell you all how dumb you really are cause no one else seems to have the balls to do it. So just get off the internet, you aren't funny with your smartass remarks.

Grow up. Shut up. Thank you.
