Title: Clean versions of Death Row Records tracks
Post by: dnjp4life on January 26, 2024, 08:18:37 AM
How many of these are there that were officially released?  They're always worth listening to because they have different lyrics and small alterations to the beats compared to the album versions.

The ones I can think of from memory:

Dr. Dre - Dre Day and G Thang, Keep Their Heads Ringin'
Snoop - Gin n Juice and Doggy Dogg World
2Pac - I Ain't Mad At Cha, How Do U Want It, 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, To Live & Die in LA
OFTB - Check Ya Hood (not sure if officially released but the clean version is out there)

What are the other ones?

Roland - Freak Something from the clean version of the Gang Related Soundtrack.  Totally different lyrics.

Let Me Ride, Whats My Name, Murder Was The Case, New York New York

almost every single had a clean version...around late '96 they started to just edit the swear words on alot of the tracks

Recently been on my 90's nostalgia tip and noticed that too. Loved that they actually made the effort to make clean versions not only listenable, but also interesting with new verses.

Spice 1 had some really dope clean versions too btw, most of his early singles. One song in particular ("In My Neighborhood") even has a whole new ending 🤯 The Murda Show with MC Eiht is another one with new parts.

Its Chris The Glove Taylor who sounds like Nate Dogg and partial sample of the original song - that make up the hook.

That's a good question. I didn't even know Area Codes had a whole clean version 😅

Another part of that chorus (What'cha gonna do when you grow up?) is Death Row Records artist Hugg.

I never knew that, I'll have to check it out.

Another one I thought of is OFTB's 'That Was Then, This Is Now' of which both versions have leaked.  I actually prefer the clean version because their vocals are more intense and there's more energy to it, plus it's available in better quality which helps.

The album Spice-1~The Thug In Me is a actual official compilation release with all radio edits.


Eazy-E~Eazy-Duz-It album has a radio edit version with all lyrics re arranged instead of sound effects or silent gaps. Its fun to sing along and try to predict how he will flip the lyrics

Is "Let's Play House" by the Dogg Pound the clean version?  Same with Regulate where the original dirty version leaked years later.  Regulate was on the Above the Rim soundtrack so maybe that counts as a death row release

yes, the dirty version was later released on Doggy Bag in 2012

It was cool to hear dirty version of Regulate, but some songs work better as clean tbh. That and Let's Play House are some of them.
I would much rather have a dirty version of Dogg Pound Can't C Us. Somehow I can find it anymore

actually i think it’s because you got used to the clean version that u think that way

let’s play house dirty actually sounds more natural to me.. the quality is just much better on the clean version

Yeah, you might be right
Also, that 5-10-15-20 shit instead of Dre intro probably sounds strange for the same reason lol

I think familiarity has something to do with it...we got so used to the clean version that the dirty sounds a bit odd

the Lets Play House one on Doggy Bag sounds like it wasn't properly mastered as well
