I was looking into this Ed, and apparently the 3:41 is the Snoop Dogg version which is a radio edit because it is clean since Snoop Dogg curses. What is funny is that I don't think outside the video on youtube I have ever seen an explicit version or the lyrics uncensored.
Hope that clears it up.

I'm having a tough time figuring this one out.
I have a US promo CD single (So So Def CSK 162340) with the following tracks:
1. Radio Edit [listed and actual 3:22]
2. Instrumental [3:22]
There is no Snoop Dogg on this promo CD.
The song debuted on the Hot 100 dated November 25, 2000. After thirteen weeks, having charted as high as #29, it fell off the chart. During this chart run, the only single format in which the song was commercially available was as a 12-inch single, which contained only non-Snoop versions. Since during its first chart run there was no commercial CD single available, it charted almost entirely on the basis of airplay. Two weeks later, on March 10, 2001, after the release of the Snoop version on both regular and maxi commercial CD singles, the song re-entered the Hot 100 at #21, the start of an additional seven week chart run. As far as I can determine, during this second chart run, the song never appeared on either the Hot 100 Airplay or R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts. So it would appear that the commercial CD singles were not released until after the song's airplay had all but dried up.
What I don't know is whether the Snoop version (i.e. the version on the Beware Of Dog album, released in September 2000) was ever promoted to radio during either of the song's chart runs. I can't find any evidence of a promo CD with the Snoop version.
And it does not appear that an explicit version of either version has ever appeared on CD. (The non-Snoop version censors the n-word and the word "shotgun" in the line "And the big body shotgun ridin' on doves". I'm not up on my 2001 hip-hop linguo, but I do not believe this is a reference to any kind of firearm.)

The Snoop Dogg version does exist censored, you are correct I can't find a lossless explicit of it. Now the 3:43 Explicit existed at one time on youtube so it has to be available somewhere, right?
