My pet peeve of the day

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Soulja Boy - Crank That.

No, I don't HATE the song at the moment, I just despise how people play these low quality versions of the MP3. I see all of these movies on youtube that use it and when it does my speakers crackle and my ears cry in pain. It sounds like someone held a mic in front of their stereo system to record the song.

WHY WHY WHY?

I use Rhapsody and it has the whole Soulja Boy album on there and when I play Crank That it comes out crystal clear. Granted it's only 128kbps, but what bugs me is why can't people get a decent quality version of the song. I'm not a total audiophile, but please don't hurt my ears at least when you blast these songs. Like just last week someone blasted it on their car stereo. Reproducing a terrible source file = OUCH.

Here's a low quality rip for you: http://youtube.com/watch?v=v3ARyAb_1Bs

So please, if you want to act like you're on top of the hip hop movement, at least play some decent quality sound file. Thanks.

real gangstas can't afford high quality rips man, ya herd?

lol but seriously the only good version is the Travis Barker remix

I can't stand You Tube for the poor audio quality alone.

Oh, and 8/10.

agreed. it's a kickass version and puts the original song to shame.

I also hate when people blast there car stereo and everytime you hear a bass note the whole back trunk end area rattles

I can't believe someone else has the same peeve as me with this song. The first time I heard it was across the pond as the people there were having a party. I commented to the wife that as far as I could tell there wasn't one intelligible word in that whole song. The people played it so many times that by the end of the evening I was able to do a phonetic imitation for my son. I wasn't pretty.

Did you even read the OP? He said nothing about not liking the song.

I don't believe I said whether I liked it or not. Only that the words are seemingly unintelligible. When played in a lower fidelity even more so.
