Ego Trip's Great Fuckin' Clean Versions

"This one definitely goes out on a censorship tip
So everybody sit back, relax and have a champagne sip"

None of us like clean radio versions! Every time your hear something, it's always gotta be raw uncensored! That's the truth! Some artists just have their curse words bleeped on for their clean versions while other actually record a new version with changed vocals. Some don't have new vocals but instead of it just being muted, scratching and sound effects are used to replace these blanks. A list titled "Great Fuckin' Clean Versions" from Ego Trip's Book of Rap List basically listed the clean versions that were worth listening to. Like Thun said, "Ego Trip made it a hot list, we made it a hot compilation". Last year, I compiled DJ Premier's Underacknowledged Cuts from Ego Trip's list. It received props all over the net.. even from Elliot Wilson! Enjoy this one!

Fifty Remixes You Need To Hear (41-50)

Today we present the final installment of the series. We hope that you were introduced to music that is new and beautiful to your ears. Be sure to check out Selections 1-10, Selections 11-20, Selections 21-30, and Selections 31-40 as well.

41. Lord Finesse "Hip 2 Da Game" (Buckwild Remix)

The original was a near-perfect quintessential Lord Finesse production. Somehow, some way Buckwild managed to improve upon it, matching the grandiosity of Finesse's boasts with lush, sweeping music.

42. Tragedy "Funk Mode" (Large Pro Remix)

43. Brand Nubian "Concerto In X Minor" (Remix)

"On the real-tip let's take a field trip from the ghetto / You pick the time and we'll meet in the meadow/ To discuss racial issues and tension/ New York's a violent keg did I forget to mention..."

44. Lord Finesse ft. Big L "Yes You May" (Remix)

AG and Percee-P are replaced by Big L and a drum heavy beat. L spits non-stop quotables and Finesse displays his mastery of similes and unabashed shit talking.

45a. Common Sense "Resurrection" (Extra P Remix)

45b. Common Sense "Resurrection (Large Pro Remix)

46. Chino XL "Kreep" (Video Mix)

47. Beatnuts "No Equal" (Remix)

The original was the greatest vibraphone-laced death threat aimed at Das Efx ever. This remix makes the original sound like the fucking Barney The Dinosaur theme song in comparison.

48. Nice N' Smooth "Cash In My Hands" (Remix)

49. Pharcyde "Passin' Me By" (Remix)

50. Public Enemy "How To Kill A Radio Consultant" (Chuck Chillout Remix)
