Is it true that R* renewed music licenses?

I've heard from a particular GTA Youtuber that songs which were removed due to license expiration weren't added back into the game. However, I also read from some article that these songs' licenses have been renewed.

 

So, for those who played the trilogy. Are those removed songs back?? It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's a huge game-changer as I really love a lot of those removed songs, particularly in GTA SA, where I still listen to them while playing GTA Online through my phone.

Here is a list of all songs still in the games and those that have been removed.

I saw that article a while back, but I couldn't tell if they removed more until I read through it again.

 

Sucks that they just added 1 song back into the game.

How the hell did a Love Fist song get removed? I'm sure Rockstar had the voice actors/singers sign a contract giving Rockstar full rights over any recorded music, right?

Killing in the name was the song that I remember the most during my time in Las Venturas. Kinda feeling sad that it's no longer in this edition.

Bring back the Tupac track. SMH. 

 

Unfortunately, they'll never bring that paticular track back. Why? Because of what would now be considered abhorrent lyrical content.

 

No, I'm not talking about the excessive cussing throughout the song, but these specific lyrics:

 

"F*** you to all you redneck prejudice motherf****s, that wanna f*** with me, F*** y'all! Punk, g-y, sensitive, little d*ck bastards!"

 

Think what you will about the level of obscenities packed in here, but it's the last line in paticular that would just not fly in this modern day and age...

Pistol Bobcat

All the money in the world from daily cash card sales and they still won't add Tom Petty or Billie Jean back for a 'definitive' edition.

 

This is why no one likes them anymore.

Lol!!! Are you kidding me?! 🤣 Not fly to who rednecks and little d*ck bastards? Personally I agree with him!! 
 

Also that’s him talking at the end of the song. They can easily just cut into the radio host before it comes on and move on. But wow just wow. Lol.

To people who are gay, obviously. Calling them sensitive 'whatevers' is a big no-no these days.

 

He alludes to rednecks being punks, gay, and sensitive little d*ck bastards, which has negative connotations – I agree rednecks are not great people, but you can't go around calling them gay.

 

Wow, just wow. Sharpen up.

Ok I missed the gay part. That is messed up, but it was a different time. I don’t think he meant actual gay people but I get what you mean there as I am an ally and definitely against homophobia and transphobia. We are on the same page there. Again though they could have just cut the end of the song. It stops being a song anyway at that point and more of a rant.

My bad, thought that might've been the case as I did censor the derogatory use of the word in my first comment.

 

And true, they could've just cut the song (as it does fit the setting and tone of the game well) but then I look at how they removed the confederate flag from Phil's shirt and in Colonel Furbergers house. Guess they're just being overly cautious – I could be completely wrong though, and it could have something to do with Pogo (the featuring artists.)

Ah fair enough makes sense. Sorry I got a little per snickedy, myself. Tupac is one of my favorite artists of all time.
