Hello everyone,

I know this is a throwback! When I first heard this song back in 2006 on both the radio and VH1/MTV music channels, it was always the Single Version featuring Wyclef Jean clocking out at around 3:39.

However, years after this song was a hit, I heard it on 95.5 WPLJ radio here in New York and the version was a No Rap Edit that removed Wyclef Jean's rap from 2:46-3:04. I was never able to find this version so I wondered if it was an in-house edit.

Fast forward to today, 20 years after I first heard the song, I heard it on WHUD 100.7 New York and it was another No Rap Edit. This edit removed the entire instrumental bridge and the Wyclef rap.

My question is was an official No Rap Version ever released to AC Radio Stations or were In-House Edits made?
