I Got 5 On It - Luniz

my commercial cassingle issued as noo trybe 38474 only identifies the first track as the "clean version" (4:13)....what is interesting is that the font of the A-side is clearly different than the font of the listing for the B-side.....so it's posible the cardboard sleeve was reprinted

Just today, I obtained a 3rd promo CD single for "I Got 5 On It," and here are the details for the two promo CD singles that are not yet mentioned.

DPRO-12714
1. Clean Short Mix (listed 3:59; actual 4:05) (The back insert labels it as "Clean Version" but the disc itself says "Clean Short Mix.")
2. Instrumental (listed 4:14)
3. A cappella (listed 4:00)

DPRO-12809 (REMIX)
1. Clean Bay Ballas Vocal Remix (listed 4:12; actual 4:13)
2. Gumbo Funk Remix (listed 4:50; actual 4:51)
3. Clean Weedless Mix (listed 4:12; actual 4:13)

To clear up confusion regarding the various versions, here are some things to note:
- Most importantly, the "clean version" DOES appear on the full-length Operation Stackola CD.
- The "Clean Short Mix" is an edit of the cassingle/LP version, which removes about :08 seconds from the end of the song. (Removing 4:03 to 4:11 of the LP version gives you this version.)
- The promo CD without a catalog number (nicely detailed above by Jim) has the LP version as track 2, even though it's labeled "Clean Short Mix."
- The "Clean Weedless Mix," while containing slightly different lyrics during the verses, doesn't actually remove all of the "weed" references. For one, the chorus was not re-sung, so they're still "messing with that indo weed" in this version, too.
- And finally, the dirty version also appears on Operation Stackola, but it's called "I Got 5 On It (Reprise)." As Brian W. notes, it's full of explicit lyrics.
