Fugees - ?ugees Or Not? Mp3

Hype actually sent this out to members of the True Playaz promo mailing list back in 1996, and that is why its the "real" remix and pressing from TPR as a bootleg.

is there a dirty version where the "bleep " is excluded and U hear " all your fuckers hit de deck "

nuff respkt for the info - how stupid of mi ! it makes total sense what U say - come badbwoy - greets from rotterdam

The vocal was sampled from Method Man & Red Man - How High. The original vocal doesn't say the word "Fuckers" - it's actually the N word! But the way it is sampled and beeped makes you think and tricks your ears into hearing it as "Fuckers" though. You could always do your own edit if you want an unclean version.

If it has "dj hype" on the lable it's a bootleg of the bootleg wich is pretty funny.

It seems there are hundreds of variations of this 12". Mines says "Fugees DJ Hype Remix" (yes I know it should be credited to Zinc) with the run out imprinted with "FOS 001- 01-01-1". Single side, label written in pen. Do I bother listing or adding cover art?Kinda disappointed that the "clean" version of the track was used with bleep for the naughty words. The track clocks in at about 7m 18s. I love it for the bass though.

On it's release in 1996 this was one of the most highly sought after white label Drum & Bass tracks going. 3000 copies were initially pressed before Sony clamped down and said no further copies should be released. But the track was then bootlegged multiple times. The Fugees eventually heard the track, but no agreement was made to release it officially as they didn't like their music being sampled.In 2014 Rinse released the track on their label - http://www.discogs.com/Zinc-ugeez-Or-Not-138-Trek/release/6114821Over the years many debates have been had over the producer of the track - DJ Zinc, DJ Hype and Aphrodite. But Zinc has commented that he made the track, but DJ Hype was heavily responsible for the bass, with his track 'Hello Lover' as the influence.A couple of alternative mixes Zinc made of this track are on Bandcamp (digital only). They don't compare to the original mix we all know and love, but it's interesting to hear the tracks development. djzinc.bandcamp.com

I actualy like the label ( Who Done It? Recordings WDI2 ) versions. just as good.
