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.
Lol, you got me!
I also remember a version where there was an easily heard male chorus that sang a sort of repeating refrain of “rah-hoo, rah-hoo, rah-hoo, rai!” as LL sang the main lyrics.
In the main versions of the song I’ve heard on YT so far, it’s much fainter. *shrug*
Mandella Effect?
No, because the other popular station at the time played the regular version, without the extra trumpets.
Five Finger Death Punch?
No, it was by LL Cool J, just an altered or variant version.
