I Paid Tha Cost For Being Stupid

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Here in Brazil, rap CDs normally come with the Parental Advisory, due to its explicit contens, but it's not always. I've bought many explicit rap CDs in here without the Parental Advisory, so I've never thought the Clean Versions would come to Brazil.
I bought this CD without knowing it was Clean. I was listening this CD and I soonly found out that the songs were all censored, it made me really angry. I'm lucky that this isn't one of the most explicit rap CDs ever (with more cussing, I mean). If it was, I would be even more upset. The songs sound like if they were broken, something like that. I hate when the beats stop because of cussing. So, I hate Clean Versions from now on. This CD would probably get four stars if it wasn't for the "broken songs".
Anyway, "Beautiful" is still the best song in this CD, followed by "Lollipop", who has a great beat, "I Believe In You", "You Got What I Want".
This CD features famous rappers like Jay-Z, Nate Dogg, Ludacris and some others I haven't heard of. I miss Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent in this CD, it would be much better with them, I think. But the CD is worth you money (atleast the Explicit Version) for few tracks. I bought this CD actually to get ready to Snoop Dogg's show in my city, he's coming in January, and the show is going to rule.
The Clean version of this CD isn't worth your money, even if you want to buy it for your children and you're worried with the content, just don't. It has few cussing and it's OK for 12 and up.
Hip Hop is meant to be explicit, if you censor it, it's not Hip Hop anymore, it's fake."
