[edit] Down And Dirty was re-released and significantly altered

I don't know the specifics about this, but this may be notable. I originally owned Down and Dirty on cassette back in the early 1990s. I purchased the album off of iTMS a few months ago and some of the songs were noticably altered. Some had lyrics cut out (Let's Get Drunk, She's Was Only 16), others had samples backwards masked to obscure them (Mr. Flamboyant), while some other songs seemed completely re-recorded with redone vocals and brand new backing tracks (Old School, Life, On A Mission).

Does anybody know what the story was with this? Did they get in trouble for uncleared samples or was there some other legal action that caused so many songs to get changed? Why were some songs completely re-recorded? Ameltzer 17:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I created a section on these differences. Turns out when Jive re-released it they altered it quite a bit. -Ameltzer 16:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know why did the SMG Solar Music Group version removed the songs Less Side and You Fucked Up When You Slammed My Mother?

Many rap albums include bonus tracks or alternate tracks for the cassette. Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Doggystyle" had several differences between the cassette and the CD. I have also seen this with other artists, like Enya. Her "Shepherd Moons" CD has a song in English that's in gaelic on the tape version. I suspect they removed the songs to give people an incentive to buy the tape.
