I have just downloaded the Punk Goes Crunk Album (again, illegally) and I have been listening to it for the past days. For everybody’s sake, Punk Goes Crunk is the latest album from Fearless Records that is part of the Punk Goes album series. You’ve been begging to hear hip-hop/r&b songs to be covered by some punk bands, here’s what Fearless Records have to offer you. Here is the track list of the album.

1. Put Yo Hood Up (Lil John) - Set Your Goals
2. Got Your Money (Ol’ Dirty Bastard) - Say Anything
3. I Wish (Skee-Lo) - The Secret Handshake
4. Men in Black (Will Smith) - Forever the Sickest Kids
5. California Love (2PAC) - My American Heart
6. I Wanna Love You (Akon) - The Maine
7. Kryptonite (Purple Ribbon All-Stars) - Emanuel
8. The Seed (The Roots) - Person L
9. Still Fly (Big Tymers) -The Devil Wears Prada
10. Umbrella (Rihanna) - All Time Low
11. Notorious Thugs (Notorious BIG) - Scary Kids Scaring Kids
12. Nothin’ But A “G” Thang (Dr. Dre) - The Escape Frame
13. Gin and Juice (Snoop Dogg) - Hot Rod Circuit
14. Hey Ya! (OutKast) - Lorene Drive
15. Tennessee (Arrested Development) - New Found Glory

I have not really had the chance to listen to all the tracks, specially tracks 12,13,14 and 15, cause I’m always tempted to switch my playlist to Skindred. I would give The Maine’s version of Akon’s song two thumbs up and 4 thumbs up to The Secret Handshake’s version of I Wish. One notable thing about the album though is that most of the bands featured could either be considered Powerpop/Pop Punk. One last thing, I honestly think that Vanilla Sky’s version of Umbrella(plus a kickass video) is far better that All Time Low’s version. Though they had different approach on how to cover the song, I still think that Vanilla Sky gave the “Punk” side to it, while All Time Low’s versions was “Powerpop”. Whether or not you are a punk fan (or a part of the herd of girls screaming their lungs out if they see every band’s “cute” member), the album is still worth wasting time listening to and do yourself a favor, grab a copy of it, illegally or legally.

I wonder what the next Punk Goes album will be. Punk Goes Bob perhaps? xD

    Holy crap. I’ve heard of Punk Goes 80’s or something, and I thought that was full of horse dung, but this one takes the win definitely.
