There’s nothing like blazing up some sticky icky, jumping into your lowrider, and driving through the doors of perception to, where else? That’s right! THE MUTHAFUCKIN’ CPT!

The year was 1992, and the one and only Dr. Dre had just unleashed his debut studio album, The Chronic, upon a trembling nation. It announced the arrival of a producer extraordinaire and established the G-Funk rap subgenre in one masterstroke. The Chronic is considered essential

listening for hip hop aficionados and was even named #137 on Rolling Stone’s list of of the 500 all time greatest albums!

Now, like most rap records, it contains a healthy dose of salty language, and you might be inclined to turn down the volume when grandma walks in….

So, why do rappers use so many swears anyway? Well basically for 3 reasons:

1. It is essential to preserve the rapper’s badass cred.

2. It is an attempt to accurately reproduce the language of the streets.

3. It gives the listener (usually a 13 year old white kid in the suburbs) the feeling that he too, is a badass.

So whether you’re creepin’ wit your bro’s ho, or duckin’ shots from the po po, one thing is fo sho: the situation is more clearly described when rappers use the word “fuck”.

Now, the f bomb is all things to all people. Why not save some time and cut out all those unnecessary nouns, verbs and adjectives that clutter up an average rap song? Wait? What’s that? Someone apparently beat me to it!

A mischievous sound wiz known only as “Happy Hippo” hacked up the entire Chronic album leaving only the swears intact. The result was uploaded to YouTube by DJ Moneymaster and it can be heard in all its profane glory below:

Incredibly, the edit is available as a wav file at the following download location:
