Does anyone here have this CD?

I just bought it at a used CD store. I noticed on track #4 (the song I Make My Own Rules) there is a name blacked out on it among the other artists listed. It reads: ***** with Flea, Dave Navarro, and Chad Smith. On the inside is says vocals by *****. Anyone have any idea who's name was blacked out and why?

It's LL Cool J

From wikipedia:

LL performed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the song "I Make My Own Rules" for the Private Parts soundtrack, but his name was not credited due to Def Jam threatening legal action if Warner Bros. had placed his name in the credits. LL said, "It was something that I wanted to do because I think that as an artist I should explore all different avenues of music, and I think that [Def Jam] was afraid that me doing a rock record might tamper with [the image I have] from some of the other music like 'Hey Lover' and 'Doin' It'."
