1) probably MP3 conversion

2) heavy compression on vocals. Causes the esssing, to peak and distort.

3) it isn't perfect practice but is used in hip hop. However a good engineer will take time to EQ the vocals so it's not as apparent, smoothing things out more naturaly then uses some de-essing as needed.
