2pac - This Ain't Livin (Finally Uncensored)

As of recent we've ALL probably heard the OG version of "This Ain't Livin'"... but back in 2001, we heard the retail version first and were like WTFbro. Johnny J swore up and down (until his death) that he had nothing to do with the editing of lyrics on the UTEOT album. In any case, the album was shipped in an edited state and even with one of 2pac's verses OFF-BAR!!! (Everything They Owe -Explicit Version).

Pretty much, the album was hindered by the removal of references to Death Row Records and its artists. "This Ain't Livin" has 1 edit for each verse, and there was a great deal of time before we were finally able to hear what Pac actually said. Some people claimed he said "Devil" or "Biggie Smalls" both of which sounded out of place. Some edits are still on youtube inserted with words many fans speculated to be the missing vocals.

So finally, i went to youtube and took the CPU PELLA of the OG version and made my own edit.
its a close to the retail as possible through the magic of EQing lol. (Thanks Evil Pimp for teaching me this shit)

check it.

With songs like "Everything They Owe" and "LastOnesLeft" already being re-edited to their original form, the only song left to fix is the elusive "My Closest Roaddogz"
