Today I've been listening to the "O.G. version" of Ready to Die:
Some of the tracks are exactly the same ("Things Done Changed"). Some of them aren't as good ("Me & My Bitch"). Some are just a bit different ("The What"). There are even some songs that didn't make the final cut at all ("Whatchu Want," "Come On," etc.). You can hear the original Pete Rock version of "Juicy," you know, the one they didn't talk about in that filthy pile of lies called "Notorious." The most exciting change for me is the uncensored version of "Gimme the Loot," which has never before seen the light of day. For some shitty reason, Puffy felt that pregnant women being robbed is somehow worse than other people being robbed, so that word got cut. The other censored word is "strangled," because somehow being strangled for your bangles and earrings is worse than being shot for them. The bottom line is that these words never should have been censored (it sounds like your disc is damaged) and Puffy is a stupid asshole. Which isn't news to anyone, or it shouldn't be.
If you're so inclined, you can go to this webpage and hit up the link to get a free download of it.
