[edit] Down and Dirty Re-Release

Down and Dirty was originally released in 1992 on E-40's Sick Wid It Records label in cassette form with 18 tracks. The SMG Solar Music Group re-released the album in 1994 with 16 tracks, but otherwise un-altered.

When Sick Wid It Records entered into a distribution agreement with Jive Records, Down and Dirty was re-released but significantly altered. The Jive re-release had only 11 tracks. In addition to this, backing music for many tracks was changed, and some samples were obscured or removed completely out of concerns for legalities. The changes between the original releases and the Jive re-release include:

  • On A Mission: completely re-recorded
  • Ballers: skit was removed completely
  • Life: renamed "Street Life", completely re-recorded
  • Mr. Flamboyant: samples were played backwards or otherwise obscured
  • Old School: brand new backing track
  • The Shit That Will Fuck With Your Brain Boy: Sample of Eric B & Rakim's song I Know You Got Soul removed
  • She Was Only 16: Opening skit removed, some lyrics changed
  • Sohabs, Daily Routine, Porno Star, Party In The V-town: songs removed completely
  • Less Side, You Fucked Up When You Slammed My Mother: present on original cassette release, not on SMG or Jive re-release
