Question Why Do Some Explicit Albums Have Words That Get Censored Out???
Like the normal version of a hip-hop artist's album (the expilcit version) usually has words that get censored out for no reason.

I can understand why Meth got censored for "stick up [jews] with [German] lugers" or why Eminem got censored for "I take seven [kids] from [Columbine] stand them all in line" But other times there be words that didn't really NEED to be tooken out.

Like "There's a [four] year old little [boy] laying dead with a slit throat"

It's either to clear a sample or avoid a lawsuit.

Some sh*t just too raw to say on a record, but I think that sh*t f*cks up the message of the particular rhyme. Why bleep out Columbine? Just 'cause of the tragedy? I completely, 100% agree it's f*cked up, but music isn't supposed to be edited or watered down in any way.

Examples tho that always bugged by out was the Biggie line on "Warning" and why the last track on We Are the Streets.

On Kanye West's College Dropout CD the song "School Spirit" is edited

Juvenile song off of 400 Degreez (I forgot the name) is censored

Jay-Z's "Street's Is Watching" is edited

lol it's so fukkin random it gets irritating..I know some sh!t is TOO raw to say but some stuff really has no sense in being edited

and even if it is too raw its free fukkin speech....
