Guess Who's Knockin'.....

I've heard that this track was omitted from later copies of Gold Nigga? Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks!
Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud

And at the same time, can you tell if there's a silence gap in the middle of the track or is it just in the kAzAa version?

Thanx 2

You know, I used to think you were some kind of cyborg man, too. I know it's a common misconception. Maybe that's why we're all afraid of you, Chris Borgman. boxed

Nope. No "silence gap" to speak of, so it must be the kAzAa version.

I believe the McCartney song the Godnigga track allegedly borrows from is called 'Let 'Em In', not 'Guess Who's Knockin' '.

Giotto's right.

The chorus of the NPG's Guess Who's Knockin',
is a direct lift of the chorus of Paul McCartney's
Let 'Em In...

Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell

:OMG: I'd never say those songs have anything in common!

NPG say:
Who's that knockin' at the door
Who's that ringin' the bell
Who's that knockin' at the door
Who's that ringin' the bell

On the other hand, Wings' Let 'Em In is so good music
