Suffocate - J. Holiday

   This song appears to be censored on Now 27.  Not only that but the 

censorship is pretty odd.  They censor the word "grind" in the line "My 

hands on your hips when we grind; I'm fantasizing 'bout what I'm gonna 

do to you."  It sounds to me like he's talking about dancing since, 

according to the lyric itself, he hasn't actually done anything to her yet 

but I digress...

I'm assuming this is not censored on the J. Holiday CD "Back of My 

Lac'" because I've heard the lyric uncensored on the radio before.  So 

I'm assuming this is some kind of Now custom edit?  In any event, the 

db doesn't note this as a censored version so I thought I'd raise it.

	As far as I can determine, this song was not censored even on the 'clean' version of the album. When this song entered the Top 40, I purchased an iTunes download from the 'explicit' version of the regular (i.e. non-deluxe) version of the album, because it was the only version of the album digitally available at the time. Itunes indicates eight of the fourteen tracks on the album as 'explicit', but this song is not one of them. Later, both 'clean' and 'explicit' versions of the 'deluxe' edition of the album were issued (at least digitally), but this song is not indicated as explicit on the explicit version. The song is also not censored on the March 2008 Mainstream Radio Promo Only CD.
