  1. Jerkwheat

    those are actual bands and not just MySpace pages?

  2. Chris N.

    Agh! It burns us!

  3. Jon Can Dance

    I get it, it rhymes. How clever.

    As bad as the cover is, it’s probably the best part about this.

  5. Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee

    “Tennessee?”

    Like, the Arrested Development song?

    Seriously?

    There isn’t a crunk song to be found on the album.

    That’s okay, since neither is there to be found a punk band.

  7. Rob Murphy

    “Kryptonite”?

    W…T…F???

  8. tigerpop

    @Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee: There’s worse: THE SEED. Seriously, who tries to cover the Roots? (And who in god’s name is Person L?)

  9. Nicolars

    I didn’t think that a low-rent version of K-Fed was even possible, but here we are.

  10. loudersoft

    I just barfed up my gold fronts.

  11. Hallux Valgus

    who in the fuck “flaunts” money and uses twenties? Has Master P taught you people NOTHING about these types of album covers?

  12. walkmasterflex

    I personally like how they opted for the Jacksons instead of the Franklins as their greenback of choice. It shows a certain class and restraint that those rapper-types just don’t have.

  13. Jasonbob7

    Punk goes “plop”.

  14. baconfat

    @tigerpop: Who tries to cover Cody Chesnutt, even? Besides The Roots, of course.

  15. Al Shipley

    Hey, give ‘em a little credit, there is one (but only one) crunk song on the album. “Put Yo Hood Up” was the first Lil Jon track I ever heard!

  16. encyclopediablack

    @Al Shipley: Beat me to the punch.

  17. encyclopediablack

    Jeopardy contestant: I’ll take Crunk music for a two hundred, Alex.

    Alex Trebek: The Seed

    Contestant: What is the opposite of crunk?

    I couldn’t resist, I just HAD to find this “Got Your Money” cover on youtube….

    I haven’t laughed that hard in quite some time….

  19. Charles A. Hohman

    This has left me nostalgic for Dynamite Hack.

  20. encyclopediablack

    This reminds me of that Too Legit For The Pit comp that came out awhile ago. For the most part, it was pretty bad, but there were some bright points like Candiria’s version of Deep Cover and the Movielife doing Can’t Do Nuttin’ for Ya Man. Mostly though, it was atrocious.

  21. noliebro

    I must be the only one that can’t wait for this…hillarious. I think the New Found Glory cover of “Tennesse” shall be great…”take me to another place..take me to another land…” Brings back memories

    When will we get the “Geriatric Goes Crunk” comp, so we can hear Joe Cocker covering “California Love”? THE METATEXTUALITY OF THAT WILL MAKE THE INTERNET EXPLODE!

  23. CloudCarrier

    I honestly thought this was the cover of the new Girl Talk album. On second thought, it probably is!

  24. Captain Wrong

    How is Fearless still in business? Who buys this shit? And isn’t this at least two years past it’s shelf date?

  25. tigerpop

    @baconfat: Point well taken.

  26. ryan_h

    I played a show with that guy a few years ago, and it was all kiddie synth-sugar pops. intresting!

    the only real good song is from the devil wears prada

  30. u are all dumb!

    You are all morons lol its a cover making fun of all the “crunk” people by using someone that is more “punk” and using the twentys to show how dumb it is to live the way that “crunk” people do if u listen to punk then u would understand it and still fly by the devil wears prada is a amazing song

  31. Daddy Bryant

    Great site! Come get Crunk!

  32. Shayna

    I think it’s stupid that people actually care whether the songs are actually ‘crunk’ or if the bands are actually ‘punk’. They had to come up with a catchy name for a CD that has hip-hop cover’s on it. Do you really think anyone would buy an album called ‘Pop/Screamo/other goes R&B/Hip-hop/Some Crunk’?

  33. ASH

    I love how the last comment was the only one that made any loigical sense.

  34. emmaaaa

    i love all these bands.
    these songs are honestly sung better by the “punk” bands than the “crunk” bands
    i personally think its a great album.
    you guys are just haters
