Yes, same version of "How I Could Just Kill A Man."

That's interesting about the promo of "Hand On The Pump" being a slightly different version than what's on the commercial CD. Mine is still sealed, so I've never been able to check.]]> Tue, 05 Apr 2022 06:33:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=60625&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#60625 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=60624&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#60624 Author: chendagam

This may be a question for Aaron: Is the greatest hits
clean radio version of "How I Could Just Kill A Man" the
same as the "Radio / Clean Version" found on the promo CD
single (CSK 4486)?]]> Mon, 04 Apr 2022 17:54:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=60624&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#60624 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=60328&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#60328 Author: chendagam

This might be the wrong thread but since we are discussion
"Hand on the Pump" on here I thought I would continue. I
finally picked up the promo CD single (CSK 74105) for HOTP
{the one you (Aaron have sealed}. It's the same version
on the commercial CD single but they left $--t in tact at
the 0:32 mark. Most likely an early mistake. ]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2022 12:42:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=60328&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#60328 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57891&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57891 Author: chendagam

I wonder how the promo clean version from that LP wound up on
the greatest hits CD. You would think the radio version from the
commercial CD single would have been more accessible. ]]> Sat, 10 Apr 2021 18:02:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57891&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57891 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57884&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57884 Author: aaronk

It's fun to discover some of those old clean/radio versions! Years after this thread started, I came across that Cypress Hill promo LP, and it does have the "alternate" clean version of "Hand On The Pump" that leaves the "n" word in the chorus. Until the clean Greatest Hits CD, this version was exclusive to that promo LP. Pretty cool!]]> Thu, 08 Apr 2021 21:31:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57884&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57884 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57883&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57883 Author: chendagam

Aaron, I was able to listen to the greatest hits you mention at the
top of this thread. It is indeed the same alternate "clean" version I
recorded all those years ago off the radio. The DJ must have
censored the "n" and "a--" words for airplay. ]]> Thu, 08 Apr 2021 19:00:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=57883&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#57883 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48902&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48902 Author: aaronk

Most likely they played it from the Cypress Hill promo LP (CAS 4157). I'm fairly certain "Hand On The Pump" came out as a single sometime in early 1992. (Billboard shows a date of 5/2/1992 for its peak on the Hot Rap Singles chart.) Surely the promo LP was out by that time.]]> Thu, 01 Feb 2018 18:49:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48902&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48902 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48899&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48899 Author: chendagam

I have never heard this "clean" version anywhere else, and it doesn't remove the "n" word on the chorus.)

Digging this oldie but goodie up regarding "Hand On The Pump." I
finally dug up my old cassette I recorded from the radio back in
1991. It is the alternate take on the clean version like Aaron
mentioned above! It has the "n" word in tact and they did a
"scratch/mute" over the word. I know it's the alternate take because
it uses the word "buster" instead of "sucker" on Sen Dog's (verse 2)
section. I wonder if this is the version on the promo CD single that
you have still sealed Aaron. If it is still sealed don't bust it open
maybe we can find an opened copy first. Or it could possibly have
been first released on a promo 12" since the tape I have from the
radio was a "weekend dance party" where they usually spun the
wax.]]> Thu, 01 Feb 2018 15:10:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48899&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48899 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48867&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48867 Author: Paul Haney

The "going crazy" ending is a sample of "All Over The World (La-La)" by The Youngbloods.]]> Wed, 24 Jan 2018 05:06:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48867&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48867 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48866&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48866 Author: aaronk

I believe all singles contain the unfaded ending with the Youngbloods "All Over The World" sample at the end. The single was released in advance of the album by about a month. My old cassette copy of the explicit Black Sunday also had the full, unfaded ending, and Pat's CD contains the full ending, too, as is indicated in the database.

My guess, like you suspected, John, is that the sample was not and could not be cleared. Ruffhouse must've then quickly re-pressed the album with a quick fade at the end of "Insane."]]> Tue, 23 Jan 2018 16:19:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=608&PID=48866&title=cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain#48866
