@Keysean2 Nice to see you around the community.

It looks like you shared a screenshot of the censored version of that track.

The explicit version of that track is available here: Touchdown (feat. Eminem) by T.I.

I hope this helps!

I know there’s an explicit version but it doesn’t play in the artist station @AdamPandora

@Keysean2 Thanks for following up.

We try to buy unedited versions of all music and comedy we acquire, but sometimes a clean version is all that's available. This is particularly common with movie soundtracks and best-of collections.

Sometimes our licensing for certain content may expire. Other times we get the radio edit of a track before we get the original, and the tracks are indistinguishable from one another from a database perspective.

For that reason, Pandora might select a clean track from one of these sources instead of a nearly identical explicit track from another album. This is an unfortunate reality of the record business: sometimes songs that are not identical are labeled as identical.

In the meantime, I recommend giving a Thumbs Down to the censored version of the track if it plays on your station. That will prevent that specific version from playing again on your station.

I hope this helps explain!
