Snoop - Gin & Juice

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have the UK single of this song where they replace the word "indo" with 

a smoking sound effect.  I remember on the radio they replaced it with 

the word "smokin" so the chorus went "smokin' smokin'...sippin' on gin 

and juice."  Are there two cencored versions?

	You know, I always thought I remembered the same thing for that edit! (Rollin' down the street smokin' smokin'...) Our station played the regular version with "indo," so my memory of where that edit came from is hazy. I own both the UK single and a US promo CD (I'll look the catalog number up when I get home), and both copies have the sound effect. Maybe there is another promo CD with a different censored version, or perhaps that was the video edit. Anyone know?

	Aaron, it sounds like you and I may own different promo CD singles here. Mine (PRCD 5456) is pretty specific as to versions: 1-Radio Version (No Indo) (listed 3:41; actual 3:37) 2-Radio Version (listed 3:38; actual 3:40) 3-Laid Back Mix (listed 4:48; actual 4:47) 4-Laid Back Radio Mix (listed 3:40; actual 3:39) Hope this helps, guys.

	gentlemen...the cassingle issued as death row 98318 (ie:the official single version) contains the "radio version" and runs 3:41 and contains the "indo" reference".....i have the german cd single issued as death row 6544-95949 and it contains the proper cassingle version as the first track described as the "radio version" also with the "indo" reference.....

	Jim, I just checked my promo copy, and it's the same as yours. PRCD 5456 with the exact same track listing. If you skip to the chorus on yours, you'll probably see that the "indo" is covered up by a sound effect. The version that chendagam references above does not have the sound effect, but rather it repeats the word "smoking."

	Yes, they played the "smokin smokin" version on the radio all the time. I believe it's the video version as well. Just trying to track down where to get this version on CD!

	At the radio station where I worked when it was current, we had a copy of the promo CD, but I seem to recall that it had the "smokin' smokin'" version on it. As I said, though, we didn't play this version. There must be two different promo CDs for this one. In fact, I also seem to recall this promo having an instrumental on it rather than remixes.

	Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out any info on this other version. I know it exists somewhere, though. Jim, did you ever check to see if your version has the sound effect or the "smokin' smokin'" edit?

	Aaron, my Cut 1-Radio Version (No Indo) has "smokin'", then followed by a loud "inhaling" sfx", while Cut 2-Radio Version has "smokin' Indo", as does my Cut 3-Laid Back Mix, and Cut 4-Laid Back Radio Mix; no "smokin' smokin'" lyric anywhere on my particular promo CD single, sir.
