Hello, everyone. I'm a big fan of Prince from South Korea.

I recently bought his Emancipation album and found that some of the lyrics, such as ones in the song "Face Down", "Da, Da, Da" were censored.
I didn't know there was clean version as well as explicit lyrics version.

Anyway, I looked up on the Internet to find out if explicit lyrics version has the tag, like the most of rap albums do... only to find that even the explicit version has no tag.

So, I wonder how I can tell the explicit version from clean version.




The album I bought was printed in USA. We also have ones printed in Korea, but they are quite censored (Our goverment still does that thing... Damn!

Thought Emancipation had explicit lyrics tag on cover, though I don't have case in front of me. Don't fret, you are fine with the clean lyrics, it is no Dirty Mind or Darling Nikki. Just as enjoyable I am certain. Where do you live in South Korea. I lived there awhile (Busan-Pusan)

Mine has the explicit lyrics tag.

you will generally be able to tell which one is the explicit version, by listening out for the words 'FUCK' 'FUCKER' and that old chestnut 'MOTHERFUCKER'. Hope this helps.

I think it is clear you have the cleaned up version. It doesn't have the explicit language advisory sticker on the front, if I remember correctly, that's how you can tell.

There is hardly any swearing on Emancipation anyway you're not missing much, Face Down has Bury him face down, let the motherfuckers kiss a ass, OK?
Next time U pull a card, it better be a ace motherfucker But when them motherfuckers turn around ass up, U're what? and 4 those who know the number and don't call/ Hmph, fuck all y'all

and Da Da Da with Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon" and Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter and But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless and several times Get your shit 2gether,

Get Your Groove On has a segue type bit: Hell, I could buy every one of ya/ Fuck yourself!

And that's it I think.
