my cassingle issued as profile 5391 contains, as the A-side, the "vocal" version with a stated run time of 5:20 but actually runs 5:22.....the cassingle doesn't have a PA sticker but the N word is spoken at the 0:55, 1:37 and 1:46 mark of the song.....

| It's my understanding that a "Parental Advisory" warning sticker is affixed to a single or album at the discretion of the record labels. That said, the "Down with the King" cassette single may not have been deemed a candidate for a warning sticker because of the song's overall religious theme. The record label may have also determined that, by rap/hip-hop standards, a few scattered utterances of the "n" word was not considered "explicit" enough to constitute a warning sticker. |
