 Punk actually went Crunk, and nobody thought there was something wrong with that November 24, 2008
"Punk Goes Crunk" is the latest offering from the "Punk Goes..." series by Fearless Records.
My main problem with the album is that while each song is supposed to be a COVER, reinterperted by a band from a different genre, almost every song sounds like an actual hip-hop song. While it's hard to make a hip-hop song sound like anything other than hip-hop, there is a definite lack of electric guitars, fast drums, and shouting (all necessary punk rock characteristics). On older "Punk Goes..." albums, there were actually covers that sounded like punk rock songs. This album is more imitation than covering.
Also, while I do like that punk rock bands like Set Your Goals, All Time Low, New Found Glory, and others are on this album, there's some bands that don't even belong on it at all! And this has nothing to do with song quality. The CD is called "Punk Goes Crunk." PUNK. So what are The Secret Handshake, The Devil Wears Prada, and Emanuel doing on this CD? There may be a slight influence from punk in each, but they are not punk rock bands.
Take the first "Punk Goes..." CD, 2000's "Punk Goes Metal." Jughead's Revenge, AFI, The Ataris, Ten Foot Pole, and others are all on that CD. Actual punk rock bands! And, each song was a COVER, a reinterpretation by the band performing the song, not an imitation.
I'd say this CD isn't worth it. Go grab the first one though, it's awesome.
 Punk Goes Stupid May 26, 2008
I wonder what idiot thought up this idea? Why don't they have the bands do covers of songs that are actually good and any Crunk song is not. Punk music is slipping slowly into a coma, and true bands and true fans need to bring it back, or well live in a world where every punk band will all sound like fall out boy....GOD HELP US !!

I think this cd is great. There are a few songs on the CD that aren't nearly "punk" enough. However the high points of the CD are Still Fly, The Seed 2.0, and Notorius Thugs. The Devil Wears Prada version of Still Fly is really great.

Just by the samples on this cd alone, it's not worth the $$. The only decent track on here is actually All Time Low's version of Umbrella. Everything else fails to capture hip-hop in a punk setting.

White boyz do it better! :)
This album is NOT a spoof on popular hip-hop songs.
These bandz show that they can actually play hip-hop,
if they wanted to, each band could probably produce a hip-hip record.
These bands do an incredible job of covering these songs.
5 Stars, would give more if available.
This is a must get for those who listen to hip-hop and rock.
