Haven't heard this version in nearly 20 years. Thanks for posting.

they did instrumentals so u could mix and play with the beats without the lyrics in the way mixing and scratching

If you know the why for the sing, then you know why the instrumental versions. 

One of my fav is " Face down a** up"

Awesome! It's funny, because an instrumental version of a song, seemed to be a popular concept with hip hop albums in the early 90s. Really don't get it...why would anyone want to listen to any instrumental version of a song, esp. hip hop? Unless of course, we were referring to the ingenious sounds of DJ Mr. Mixx!!!

i dont know what you just said but hell yeah!

[chinarise]

@daltondeuce so young kid's could rap to the album that's why they do it

[benitezl]

nice stuff

[JohnnyTrotz]

wow Dude great post --- do you have this as an mp3 ?

[dilzappa]

This has got a lot of vocals for an instrumental! Must be the karaoke version...

[TheDeadSurvivor]

Actually, it's not a Karoke version. It's off a limited released 2 Live Crew CD Single which had 4 versions of Banned In The USA. Weird but this is the Instrumental version.
