The 2014 remastered Life After Death is NOT the Radio Mix found on CD singles. This version simply mutes most (not all) of the dirty words. The Radio Mix has sound effects in place of many of the naughty words, and "ass" is reversed.]]> Fri, 04 Jun 2021 08:54:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=58311&title=notorious-big-corrections#58311 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=58308&title=notorious-big-corrections#58308 Author: chendagam

Does anyone know if the version of "hypnotize" on the Bad Boy's
10th Anniversary and Ready To Die clean remastered edition is the
same as the "promo" cd single? My wife noticed the "a--" word in
tact and was not too happy for our 2 year old to be listening :)]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:41:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=58308&title=notorious-big-corrections#58308 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=22469&title=notorious-big-corrections#22469 Author: PaulEschen

Since there is a cassette single with the "Club Mix"/actual LP versions of "Big
Poppa" and "Warning", I'm going to assume that would be the official
single version. Thanks for the info. I wonder if Billboard tabulated both the
Radio Edit and Club Mix cassette singles in figuring the sales and airplay, or
separated them?

sorry i missed this post originally.....here is the track listing of the commercial cassingles i have from "the notorious BIG"

"juicy" runs 5:02 and is identical to the full length dirty version on the cd "ready to die"

"unbelievable" runs 3:43 and is identical to the full length dirty version from the cd "ready to die"

the cassingle has a parental advisory sticker on the front citing explicit lyrics



bad boy 79015
1-"big poppa" (club mix)
2-"warning" (club mix)

"big poppa" runs 4:12 and is identical to the full length dirty version from the cd "ready to die" even though it states that the version on the cassingle is the "club mix" it is the same as the lp version

"warning" runs 3:41 and is identical to the full length dirty version from the cd "ready to die" even though it states that the version on the cassingle is the "club mix" it is the same as the lp version

the cassingle has a parental advisory sticker on the front citing explicit lyrics

bad boy 79019
1-"big poppa" (club mix)

I have taken Aaron's initial post, and tried to see what I had filed away for promo CD singles on them. I'm just about positive Aaron is already "all over" the commercial CD single configurations. Other tracks are included on some of these promos, and I would normally only note them briefly, or not at all. But I have found that many of these other, "straggler" tracks by Rap/Hip-Hop artists also seem to be of interest to many, so in this case I will include that information as well:

-Notorious B.I.G.-"Juicy" (BBPCD-9004)
1-Juicy (Radio Edit) (listed & actual 4:15)
2-Juicy (Remix) (listed 4:42; actual 4:41)
3-Unbelievable (Radio Edit) (listed & actual 3:46)


**We received in to the station two separate promo CD singles for this next one**
-Notorious B.I.G.-"Big Poppa" (BBPCD-9015)
1-Big Poppa (Radio Edit) (listed 4:13; actual 4:11)
2-Warning (Radio Edit) (listed 2:57; actual 2:56)
3-Big Poppa (Instrumental) (listed 4:13; actual 4:12)
4-Warning (Instrumental) (listed & actual 3:41)

-Notorious B.I.G.-"Big Poppa" (REMIX) (BBPCD-9019)
1-Big Poppa Remix (Radio Edit) (listed & actual 4:11)
2-Who Shot Ya? (Radio Edit) (listed & actual 5:19)
3-Big Poppa Remix (Instrumental) (listed & actual 4:11)
4-Who Shot Ya? (Instrumental) (listed & actual 5:09)


-Notorious B.I.G.-"One More Chance/Stay With Me" (BBPCD-9031)
1-One More Chance/Stay With Me (Radio Edit) (listed & actual 4:15)
2-One More Chance (Hip Hop Radio Edit) (listed 4:28; actual 4:18)
3-The What (Radio Edit) (listed 4:00; actual 3:59)
4-One More Chance/Stay With Me (Instrumental) (listed 4:35; actual 4:33)


-Notorious B.I.G.-"Hypnotize" (instead of a promo, for this song Bad Boy instead sent us a commercial CD single, placing a "Not For Sale" sticker over the UPC symbol.)(78612-79093-2)
1-Hypnotize (Clean Radio Edit) (listed & actual 3:59)
2-I Got A Story To Tell (Clean Radio Edit) (listed 3:09; actual 3:07)


-Notorious B.I.G.-"Mo Money Mo Problems" (BBPCD-9099)

They were pressed on Bad Boy, distributed by Arista. I don't have those ones, but I do have a couple of Total singles on Bad Boy from around the same time.

Arista is one of those labels that changed their mind a few times about 45s. For the most part, Arista cut the production of pop 45s by late '91. During the "Bodyguard" period, they did all of Whitney's singles on 45 plus a few others. In '95 they went through about a year where they did almost all of the chart hits again - including some Toni Braxton singles on LaFace, and a couple from TLC, but then stopped (mostly) again sometime in '96. They continued to do country singles on 45 all through this period.]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:10:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=21638&title=notorious-big-corrections#21638 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=21636&title=notorious-big-corrections#21636 Author: eric_a

A couple of sellers online have a 12" vinyl version that has on the B-side,
both "Big Poppa" (radio edit - 4:12) and "Warning" (radio edit - 2:57). Do
these match the cassette single track descriptions?]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:38:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=458&PID=21617&title=notorious-big-corrections#21617
