My guess is your talocrural joint is popping - called cavitation. Each joint capsule is sealed with fluid, and when it slightly loses its seal, there is a popping sound. Ligaments and other connective tissue can also make a popping sound. You might want to try strenghtening exercises to the ankle complex, like step aerobics, toe raises, and ankle rolling warm-up exercises. If it keeps happening or more pain arises, see a chiropractor or orthopedic specialist.

it is bad because it sounds like your tendons are rolling over eachother or over your bone.. and it needs to be checked

It's possible that you've fractured it at some point in time. Your bones could be rubbing together, causing the cracking sound. You also could have strained it. The tendons/ligaments could be irritated. Many number of things actually. If it doesn't go away, I'd personally consult with a doctor.

My ankles crack a lot too, turns out I had a stress fracture. You might want to have it looked at. Could be nothing but if it is you'll want to take care of it before it gets worse.
