I just noticed it in one song, thought nothing of it, and then in another, it was really obvious as well.
For reference, in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85sC2xLIViU
E.g. the words nigga and dope are removed, leaving a weird pause there.
Why is this, and is this a YouTube-only thing? Because on Spotify, the song is completely normal.
My theories:
- The interpreter uploads a censored version on youtube because otherwise it might get taken down
- Youtube automatically censors those words (i doubt that though)
- The interpreter uploads a censored version on youtube in order to avoid the video being labelled as 18+
Any thoughts?
After listening closely again, I think it might actually be 2. - the censoring makes little sense on some parts (even ass and shit are censored and the song sounds really stupid now)
