Bullshit Censorship

[update below]

I purchased a copy of the song "Pearly Gates" from iTunes this weekend and as always I made sure to purchase the explicit version because, well the non-explicit versions suck because they cut out words and you'd often miss a lot of the song. So you can imagine my surprise when certain words where mixed over (ala the reverse record sound) here is what was on iTunes version:

Now homey if I go to hell and you make it to the pearly gates
Tell the [censor sound] we got beef
And tell [censor sound] I'm a see him when I see him
And when I see him, I'm a [sound]
For leavin us out to dry on staight poverty
For not showin me no signs they watchin over me
Yo! We a new breed in two thousand six
We don't give a fuck about that [censor sound]

and here are the real lyrics:

Now homey if I go to hell and you make it to the pearly gates
Tell the boss man we got beef
And tell his only son I'm a see him when I see him
And when I see him, I'm a beat him like a movie
For leavin us out to dry on straight poverty
For not showin me no signs they watchin over me
Yo! We a new breed in two thousand six
We don't give a fuck about that religious bullshit

Notice I didn't get the clean version as the word fuck was still in it, they censored the lyrics that question god. What fucking bullshit, they don't the same to Kanye West in "Jesus Walks" What the fuck is that about?


Update:
After reading around online I discovered, that this was done by the record label and that Prodiy, the rapper, didn't fight it.
