the Clean version of Honey is much better! (i only listen to the clean version of the album)
It's great that you have a work around anon, but personally I can still hear the vitriol when she says 'chick' instead of bitch. I really don't mind cussing, and think it's a shame artists need to censor themselves for radio play, (one of my favorite lines from life of a showgirl is 'and all the headshots on the walls of dance hall are of the bitches who wish I hurry up and die, but I'm immortal now baby dolls, I couldn't if I tried.')
I just think it's strange for a woman who felt the need to rewrite better than revenge to later call a girl in the mindset she had been in at the time of the OG version a bitch.
This isn't even my main qualm with honey, my main one is that by the time you reach the end of the album you've already heard three songs about the exact same thing. It doesn't bring much to the table in terms of overarching album themes, storytelling, and when listening I find myself wishing it was a bonus track released later so it could've had more time to bake. It could cut so deep, but it doesn't have teeth.
