The other day, I was listening to LL Cool J's Mama said knock you out, and I mentioned to my wife that there was an odd version I recalled from when I first heard it on the radio when it came out. The one radio station would play a version that included trumpet fanfare during the refrain, presumably because of the weird aversion to playing straight rap by some stations at the time. However, no matter how I search, I cannot find any reference to this version. Could this be something the station itself added? Does anyone have a clue about where I could find this? I don't think it is a better version, I just wanted to prove it existed, lol.

No, because the other popular station at the time played the regular version, without the extra trumpets.
