So this isn't about the typical "I don't give a ______" "You can suck my ______" we hear...but there are a lot of Rap songs out there where words were censored for all types of reasons...politics and whatever else.

Here's a few that I can think of that we figured out right away...
"And ________ was stealin and robbin em" - Nas

"Alicia ______ dyke bitches" - The Game

"Even off a gallon of Cisco, I could never go Disco...man I ain't from _______!" - DJ Quik

What are some blanks in Rap that you can think of that you immediately knew what the word(s) were...and what are some that you never figured out?

"does this look like a big joke?/ there's a -4- year old little -boy- laying dead with a slit throat/ in your living room"

damn, on a side note, i remember when that album came out, i was in middle school and that song always made me feel mad uncomfortable.. still does actually lol

just about the most disturbing song I've ever heard.

I do laugh, though, at the part where he's like:

"Bullshit you bitch, don't fuckin lie to me
what the fuck's this guy's problem on the side of me?
fuck you asshole, yeah... bite me
Kim, KIMMMM!!!!!!!!....



Why don't you like me?"

I laugh at that part. Otherwise I'm cringing. Haha

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

I was spending the summer with my fam in Rochester, NY the summer that dropped, and the pirate radio station played the OG-OG version, completely unedited, no remix verses. From my tastes at the time, it was easily the most grimy song I'd heard at that point.

that's why I thought it was wack. if you're gonna censor, censor it ALL.

they played "faggot" and things like that backwards all over that album. which I'd be cool with if they were consistent with all the cussin.

"take a dive like greg louganis with his ________ ass"

I mean obviously it's obvious what it was in general but what was the exact word he used? I never found that out.

I mean, "gay" was said in several songs before and several after that. So I'd definitely think it was De La.

But yea...Comm's verse on that track was dope as fuuuuuck.

"in fact I get more hoes than Tessa
peep game like a refe-ree

He was the best in the game in this time period IMO.

it has to be "gay ass".

the thought of Common saying that is funny though.

Madlib says something like

it was edited with a real out-of-place explosion sound on the final version, but on the og you can hear him say "popes". I thought that was a dope line- it was obviously at the height of all that controversy in the Catholic church.

Had a line on I Just Don't Give a F**k about raping the women's swim team that got edited.

Also about raping lesbians...

Em liked rape.

I just looked for an uncensored version now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXW__wxwiRQ it he said
"Homie if I go to hell, and you make it to the pearly gates, tell that n*gga God, we got beef. And tell that n*gga Jesus I'mma see him when I see him, and when I see him, I'mma beat him like the movie."

Which still seems weird to edit but I guess 50 Cent was under attack for everything at the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmkcobEpqjA

so apparently he re-recorded his verse to sanitize it a bit, but they edited it anyway

does it have too many syllables

is safe sex offensive

You could allude to, but not be direct. That's different from what happened later in the decade, but "prophylactics" was, back then, like saying the words "penis" and "vagina". A few years before that, saying condom was still considered "dirty". Let's not forget that George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" was turned into "I Want Your OW!" for a number of markets.

Forget the fact that slang use was able to pass, but if you said something straight forward, it would be censored. It wouldn't be until a few years later, as "safe sex" became something that was talked about more openly, did references like that ease up.

and you know I had the same exact idea... I disliked when rap albums were selectively censored. controversy sells, so I don't see the point.

one of the biggest ones that come to mind (if it hasn't been mentioned yet) was Mars Co Op on "Clones". I have an idea of what was censored.

Generally, it seems you can't say shit about gays or Jewish people, but you can let all the "niggas" and "bitches" (and sometimes "Black bitches") go without a hitch

>

I always thought it was "Fly ass frontin' faggots that's now catchin' vapors" and "The snake will be that faggot that rats"

Or something along those lines.

"fly ass frontin' *bitches*. . ."

"the snake will be that *bitch* and the rat will be that cool cat."

The Roots/?uest have always been super strict with their no bitch policy. Don't think Thought has ever said it referring to a woman. Dice Raw gets edited somewhere on Things Fall Apart.

the whole bit about smoking weed and drinking Private Stock

You talking about radio?

Cause that wasn't censored on the album, at least my copy. That's what this post is about. Not radio edits.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

even when it's done to white rappers like Eminem. "Rap" is still seen as a "Black" music and after the Body Count shit (that wasn't rap, but was promoted/led by a rapper)... that was the end of it. Some might even say it was Public Enemy, who didn't actually have anti-Semitic lyrics but was accused of such because of Professor Griff going off at some random event. Public Enemy only went so far as to saying "told the rab(bi) get off the rag", which was rather tame IMO.

I even heard that Ice Cube's Death Certificate album, full of all kinds of crazy 'CISM and off-color venting was censored on reissue. The original 1991 version keeps all the shit intact (think squeeg confirmed it, I never copped the reissue).

The son of *satan* they say my killings too blatant

Tribe albums always had weird censoring. They'd censor out curse words like "ass" sometimes, but leave in "fuck" a few times.

Like on Low End Theory...."take your roly poly fat promoter____to chemical bank and get my cash"

But then they leave in something like "going out like suckas....mothafuckas"

Em had to change my name is cuz the copywright owner didn't like explicit lyrics

life always offers you a 2nd chance...it's called tomorrow. use it wisely

I think it was that one, it was one of his early singles.
