The Rip of the Day

AKA DID I COOK WITH THIS ONE?

An important aspect of enjoying high quality rips is recognizing when the rip is not good. There is, of course, the absolute banger 9 and 10 out of 10 rips that you wish would play at the club. But occasionally, you get that remarkably awful rip that is just a disaster from start to finish, maliciously so. The 0/10 rips.

Here at Rip of the Day we believe that the worst thing a rip can be is mediocre. It takes just as much effort to make a truly horrendous 0/10 rip as it does to make a truly excellent 10/10 rip. We celebrate those that go the extra step to be monumentously awful.

This rip is the perfect example. The effort that went into crafting this disaster must have been herculean. The instruments of the base track are perfectly, artistically crafted to replicate not just the sound of the Fun House theme from Spiderman on the Sega Genesis, it replicates the feel of the track. The bounce, the bass, the groove... It's truly something to behold, taking the listener to new heights of audio ecstasy. And if it ended there, that would be it; a very respectable rip to groove to.

But oh no it does not end there. The cacaphony of sounds that follows does not so much as let down the listener as it does cast them down with scorn and ire. Perhaps, one may think, this will be worked artistically into the rip. Perhaps, one may hope, they are doing something with this. Perhaps, one may pray, there is hope for this desolate land. But nay. The remainder of the track only gets worse as all hope of this being a banger is dashed on the rocks. You, dear listener, are the clown, and the creator laughs and laughs and laughs at your suffering.

"Did I cook with this one?" the ripper questions. It is not a hopeful question. It is asked with a coy grin, a sarcastic sneer, a mischevious, vicious visage. And my answer is "no."

0/10. A masterclass in rip creation. One to treasure for ages to come.

This is an old rip Classic, one of the first rips I ever downloaded and one of the first rips I ever shared with friends and they actually liked it.

It's a classic SiIva formula: take a banger track, inject stale memes into it. This is one of the best examples of that, but god if it isn't funny and god if it isn't a BANGER. The memes layered on top of the base track like lyrics and it just makes it all pure ear candy.

This is another rip so good that the track's original composer commented on the YouTube about how good it was, so expect something really stellar here.

10/10, may it live forever.

Or only certain MP3 uploads?

Idk man WTF why don't they just warn me before they block a post from search and tell me why???

AKA guess what chicken butt

Okay Tumblr keeps keeping my posts from hitting search so we'll try this. The MP3 and the FLAC is in the notes.

A simple combination of a niche Final Fantasy track and "Snap Yo Fingers" by Lil Jon, but as always there's more here than meets the eye.

The instruments of "Snap Yo Fingers" are arranged expertly to mimic the base track, the lyrics are pitch shifted and sped up to match the base track, and they threw in a Lil Jon "WHAT?" in occasionally to really round out the joke. The result is actually shockingly catchy and it's one of my favorite rips; for some reason the lyrics are REALLY catchy (particularly past 24 seconds) and I'll catch myself humming or singing them later. Which. Like. How do you explain that to anyone? "What are you singing?" "Uhhhhh..."

Stingy rips are always good. Not much I can say for this one except I REALLY REALLY love it. 10/10.

If this post shows up on the search its "Circus (3mixphilip) - Five Nights at Freddy's" AKA "FEEL SO FINE STUCK INSIDE" btw.

AKA FEEL SO FINE STUCK INSIDE

So, small confession: Circus rips are my favorite. The joke is funny, the rips are sick, and I'm a big FNAF fan. It's great all around.

3mixphilip is rather simple conceptually, just a mashup of "Money Machine" by 1000 gecs and "Stuck Inside" by Black Gryph0n/Living Tombstone. But then they went and put their WHOLE pussy into it: Stuck Inside's lyrics filtered to match Money Machine, Money Machine's instrumentals shifted to match Stuck Inside's, all mixed nearly perfectly. It almost sounds like that's how it was always intended to be. Money Machine's instrumentals sounds AMAZING playing Stuck Inside's melody and I can never get it out of my head once I've heard it. The rip doesn't overstay its welcome and cuts to the good parts. The final chorus with the children singing sounds great too. The ending that cuts off the spring locked sound with Money Machine's noisy outro ends it with a great kick.

9/10 rip, Circus rips always win.

AKA If Allen Simpson Was French (featuring Halogen)

The illustrious Five Nights at Freddy's series is not well known for its bangin' soundtrack, and that's because its soundtrack isn't amazing, being nonexistent at worst and passable at best. This is because what FNAF IS well known for is its complicated lore, its clean game mechanics, and, more recently, its being abysmal dogshit. What that leaves us with is a beautiful canvas of mediocre tracks and stale memes to build works of art off of.

This track is a decent example, starting with the okay base track and building it into something worthy of a head bang or two. U Got That by Halogen is barely even a joke in this rip and carries a good chunk of the entire track, leaving it far better than the sum of its parts. The improvements to the track's bassline are most notable, giving it the nice hard thump this needed to make it actually good rather than "I mean it sounds like it's supposed to be some kind of EDM thing I guess?"

Usually when I post a rip, it's because I've been listening to it all morning at minimum, and this one is no exception. 8/10 rip, very excellent.

As always, check the notes for a link to the FLAC.

AKA Dancefloor Damacy

Okay so, let's be honest with ourselves, adding anything to the Panty & Stocking soundtrack is close to cheating, particularly if that track is Dancefloor Orgy.

BUT WAIT WAIT HEAR ME OUT THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY SUPER PEAK OKAY

I've never heard of or listened to the base track, but I HAVE listened to Dancefloor Orgy. The base track's contributions mesh so so well that in many ways I actually prefer this rip. I especially like how they fuck up the second "ohh" to be more of an "oh!" I think that's really fun. Mixing in "U Got That" by Halogen right near the end is a really funny and silly way to wrap things up.

This one's actually super incredible, I've been listening to it for years. 9/10.

As always, check the notes for the FLAC!
