A top 40 hit in 2011 I can only find the explicit version for download. It wasn't serviced to Primecuts or Top Hits or any promo only disc I can find. Even Itunes does not have a clean version.
No discogs listing for a CD promo. Can anyone here or outside the USA see if they can find a clean version of this song? I'm almost shocked it's not available clean anywhere on Tidal or Qobuz.
Paul Haney, was the version Joel got clean? It could be possible this was only released explicit. Youtube has clean versions but I would rather have a better sounding copy.
Thanks in advance.

Our hard copy is the explicit version that was downloaded
from iTunes at the time.

I have an mp3 of this with Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000 &
Lil' Wayne that sounds like some of the rap has been
edited. Is that the one you're looking for?
Not real familiar with this song, so I don't really know
what to listen for.

The major things that appear in the song that need an edit:
There is a f curse at :31 when Wiz says "I say I’m filthy f**king rich, so I’m an old dirty bastard"
"Brought a lot of marijauna"
T.I.
Wipe me down bitch, I'm super clean
Bitches stay queued
Bitch I bet you take it off
Lil Wayne
She'll throw that pu**y at you
Update: I managed to make a clean edit of my lossless file. Let me know if anyone needs it. There doesn't appear to be a released clean version.

To the best of my knowledge, in the clean/explicit era this was the first Top 40 hit for which no clean version has ever been officially released in any format, physical or digital, commercial or promo.
