There also was a song on here called "The Twilight Zone." It was my favorite song. I can't believe that it isn't on here. I long ago lost my cassette and all the new cd's and even here doesn't have it. I am very disappointed
- Live at Union Square

Live at Union Square has the reference to aids. Whole album is good. Classic hip hop.
- Partial album

By Where is the real LP
The song that has the AIDS comment is song #10, Live At Union Square. The song missing is He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper. This was one of the best songs, so it's odd that it is missing.
- Rated 1 star for RADIO EDITS.

I was considering buying this, but I'l stick with my cassette as even listening to the preview I can tell it's the radio edit of Nightmare on My Street. No reason to have radio edit on this album especially with what is on the radio today.
- Radio Edit??

I remember buying the "I'm the Rapper and He's the DJ" cassette way back when I was a kid (my first album) and wowing my friends with the full rendition "Nightmare On My Street."
Sadly, that was so long ago that I've since parted with the cassette and no longer have the opportunity to listen to The Fresh Prince building up a crowd by commanding everyone with AIDS to "be quiet!"
Will there ever be the actual album for sale on iTunes or are we all just left with a revisionist history full of partial songs and radio edits?
This album was a great part of my childhood and I would have gladly purchased it for nostalgic sentimentality but since this has been hacked to oblivion, I prefer keeping my memories intact and will remain waiting for a release of the REAL album on here before parting with any money.
- Nightmare on My Street - edited

The edits to this song applies to the Nightmare on My Street song that aren't that way on the cassette. (Old school I know, but still)
After: Then we dipped to the theater set to ill
Missing is:
Buggin' cold havin' a ball
And somethin' about Elm St. was the movie we saw
The way it started was decent you know nuthin' real fancy
About this homeboy named Fred and this girl named Nancy
But word when it was over, I said yo that was def
replaced with: We saw Elm Street and man it was def
SECOND EDIT:
After "your face is all burnt"
All of this is missing as well:
Fred got mad and his head started steaming
But I've thought what the hell I'm only dreamin'
I said please leave Fred so I can get some sleep
But give me a call maybe we'll hang out next week
I was hoping I'd get the orginal version DLing it from this album, but it's still editted.
Great album, but anyone that had the cassette will feel jipped when they sing words that are no longer there.
- Sell these tracks at a full album price

And for that, we have to buy each song separately? I love this album so much, I would like to buy the entire thing -- but not for $15.84. Sell us the album as it is now, iTunes. We're OK without the live track.
- a carefree, classic hip hop party

the song left off the album is the live track in which smith riles up the crowd by telling "all the homeboys that got AIDS" to "be quiet." The crowd erupts. Certainly, these were different times and I have no doubt smith has apologized a thousand times over, but let it be known that that's likely the reason for the partial album.
