There are two versions of the Spike Lee film "Bamboozled" soundtrack CD. One was sold at stores (retail) and one was given to radio stations (promotional). The promotional one for radio stations (sometimes known as "clean" versions) had the word "Nigga" either deleted from the song, or garbled by reversing the word (I don't remember which), so that it could be played over the airwaves without problems with the FCC (the Federal governing body of US broadcast radio).

There have been other Prince albums that have had Explicit and Clean versions, such as Emancipation and prince. Face Down and Sexy MF songs being reworked for the clean CDs. These were sold on the shelves of stores side by side with each other.

Yep. I just checked and the Promo has some (but not all) of the "niggas" reversed. Weird that not all uses of the word were reversed.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

1. InDaSoul Mix
2. Album Version
3. Deniar Old Skool Mix
