I like the bit where he says "boom"

[@kimmyray018]

This was just a big hit of 2009, it’s so memorable 🔥🔥🔥

[@stormgirl09]

This is my favorite version.😎

[@haroldfridkis9657]

Mine too

[@barrydabee6752]

How? The album version is so much better

[@WazVlogz]

@@haroldfridkis9657 why because there's no gunshots... Clearly misinterpreting the meaning of the song

[@karinarose6759]

@@WazVlogz Are you just suggesting we don’t listen to it at all then?

[@karinarose6759]

Honestly I like this version better because it sounds unique and is not the same stupid noises and rhetoric. I happen to LIKE the stutters and silly noises in “clean” rap songs, y’all can have the mass produced Walmart Lysol versions of songs 😂

[@SilentShadow07]

Now this is the version I remember as a kid. Lol Much nostalgia.

[@NielsonLucas]

Radio stations also played this edit alongside the main album version.

[@VcArena]

I actually like this version better. Guile.....

[@DEATHxKAGE]

This is the version they played in the skating rink when I was a teen. I literally searched for this 🤣🤣

[@MalikDawson-jz4ng]

Much nostalgia 🤣 💯

[@cristhianflores674]

They played the uncensored one in my middle school during gym lol

[@aquaman52]

I don’t like the replaced gun shot but I like the “boom”

[@nelsonrivera5671]

I respect your opinion but i feel gunshots do not belong in songs(im very sorry if this reply upsets you)

[@evandavis7]

Oddly enough, when I first downloaded this song on my record pool, this version was labeled as the "dirty" version. 🤔

[@karinarose6759]

Seeing as the guy sounds like he’s giving a blumpkin when he said “BOOM” I would say it is

[@jofficialchannel]

Never heard this version until a few days ago. Now it feels like I'm in a parallell universe lol

[@jamellmagee4951]

I remember this being the radio version when I first her the song. I was so confused by the gunshot version 😂😂

[@phoenixrising4448]

Better than the original in my opinion! 🔥

[@thegrandmasterslam]

[@SaltyHylian]

This is the version that was played on Ryan Seacrest’s AT40. Very……interesting to say the least. 😳

[@Kuson2]

3 radio edits that sound better than their "dirty" counterparts
1. Livin it up - Ja Rule
2. What you know - T.I.
3. Paper Planes - M.I.A.

[@sleazuschrist5844]

coming up on 20 years !!!

[@Kuson2]

this song came out in 2009, don't get too ahead of yourself lol

[@ryanmckay4485]

I think this sound better that the original

[@olinunez3657]

Thank you

[@CleanRadioPromo]

No problem!

[@meedamaster6850]

First comment in 2023? M.I.A is now a outspoken Christian and that's amazing! Also I like it when it's goes "Boom" 🙂

[@kaizarkthetitan0]

This version is way better

[@marcopolo747671]

Upload the radio version of "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas.

Put your ear to the asshole of any person and you will hear it.

[@Loganjlr]

What’s the difference

[@marcopolo747671]

@@Loganjlr Radio version is shorter than the album version, which is longer than the radio version.

You don’t have a link to the mp3 of this by any chance? I need a high quality version and can’t find it ANYWHERE.

[@clemradio]

mp3 and high quality doesnt go in the same sentence xD

Lmao yeah this was the one. Instead of the gunshots

[@coolcatstudios3665]

This edit really sucks, but I have to give some credit to the person who uploaded it and quenched my curiosity on just what the former radio edit (I say "former" because the radio now leaves the gunshots intact, thank God for that) of this song sounds like.

[@CleanRadioPromo]

M.I.A. was pretty furious that this song was edited the way it was, especially the MTV Edit.

[@HenBasketFireAlarms]

How did MTV censor it?

[@ss04to06]

@@HenBasketFireAlarms The MTV Edit (which is now almost impossible to find online) changed the gunshots to what I can only describe as knocking or popping noises, the word "weed" was muted and the sound of the gun cocking was reversed.

This edit sounds terrible I can still hear the gunshots

[@SaadNabil]

Sometimes I don't like the gunshots in this song. It's kinda terrorism. I like the original one with gunshots, but it's very uncomfortable hearing the gunshot sound.
