I just decided to reminisce and listen to Ready or Not by the Fugees on Vevo.

I am singing along as usual, and boy was I surprised on the lyrics that were edited out.

"If I ruled the world, everyone would have a gun."
"Like the robbery that I did last week."
"Defecating on your microphone"

Seriously? You can say the b-word now, but you can't say robbery or defecating on youtube? Wow!

What other silly words have you seen edited out on the clean or edited versions? I know there are some really dumb ones I remember in 2pac songs, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

shaft by isaac hayes is one of my favorite songs. the intro, with each new instrument picking up as the tune progresses. anyway, your post remind me of the lyrics to shaft.
