I went to revisit this the other day. As dope as I remembered it, only a couple of skippers. Only thing is while listening to my copy I realized that it is an edited version.
So here I am searching the net and all I can find are edited versions. Does anyone have this album unedited? Was it released unedited at all? Any info would be appreciated.

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day about another Def Jam album -> Public Enemy's Apocalypse '91 The Enemy Strikes Black. My copy is also edited. Did Def Jam release an explicit version of this PE album?
I think the CDs all had the edited version of Boomin' System (could be wrong though). The only way to get that unedited is the 12". It also has a different opening. Were any other songs on that album edited? Maybe Farmers Blvd?
I have The Underground Mix of Boomin' System. I thought Cheesy Rat Blues was edited but, maybe that's how he did that one. Farmers has a "shit" edited out and the Jingling Remix has the radio version vocals from the original. Maybe that's the only version available.

being a kid with that tape upon it's release, i didn't realize the self-editing in cheesy rat blues, but after i listened to it again a few years ago, i noticed it.
The remix of Jingling Baby was always lile that. Looking to check my copy of the CD I found I have two copies. One has red lettering and one has white lettering. The CDs are the same though.
I think this must have been something to do with Def Jam during that period as, if I recall correctly, the re-issue/repress of the EPMD Business As Usual CD albums were censored too (vinyl & cassettes were uncensored)
