Jay-Z - Can I Get A...

Since it's not documented in the database, here are the details for the promo CD of Jay-Z's "Can I Get A..." (feat. Amil and Ja Rule):

Def Jam (DEF 261-2)
1. Radio Edit (no printed time; actual 4:04)

Was the single only released commercially on 12" vinyl? I've never seen a cassette or stock CD single (other than imports). I've seen 12" copies that have the lead track as "Radio Edit." If this is the same as what's on the promo CD, the database will probably need to be updated to reflect "censored LP version" and "uncensored LP version" for the current CDs.

aaron...i have the 12" vinyl single issued as def jam
567683 which contains the below tracks....and i will send
you the radio edit version which is track one for your
review.....the radio edit runs around 5:07...so you
know..

(radio edit)
2-bitch betta have my money (ja rule) (radio edit)
3-and you don't stop (wu tang clan) (radio edit)

ja) (tv track)
2-bitch betta have my money (ja rule) (tv track)
3-and you don't stop (wu tang clan) (tv track)

no run times are listed on the record, but if anyone
needs them i can get them..lmk...edtop40

Ed, the length of the dub you sent runs exactly 5:10, so the database will need to be updated to reflect that time rather than 4:04.

Also, the 12" Radio Edit is not the same as the clean album version I have on my Promo Only CD series. The 12" has sound effects dubbed over the places where the offensive words are removed. The clean version I have, while still running the length of the album version at 5:10, does not have the additional sound effects.

Furthermore, the short "Radio Edit" on the promo CD single does not have the sound effects.

Does anyone know if any of the database CDs contain the 12" Radio Edit?

John, can you check to see if it has the sound effects overdubbed where the vocals drop out?

Also, the run time is actually 4:49 on the Top Hits copy.
