There were two promo CDs released for this track.

(CSK 73847) - which is a 5-track release that has "Radio Mix 1" and, I would imagine, the only option for Top 40 radio.

(CSK 4114) - which is a 6-track release that has 5 radio versions that could all be potential airplay candidates.

Did anyone hear any of the cuts played from the 6-track promo CD, or did stations stick with Radio Mix 1 from the 5-track promo?

(Original Radio) and (Pop Radio) both appear to use the original lyrics whilst (Radio Edit 1), (Hot Radio Edit) and (Master Mix Radio) have the lyrics from "Let The Beat Hit 'Em - Part 2".

The description for the 6-track listing on Discogs includes the following: "This is the second promo sent out by Columbia Records. Even though the song found on this release shares the same title as the first promo, for all intents and purposes, this is an entirely different song, with a completely different set of lyrics. The only thing both songs have in common is their title, "Let The Beat Hit 'Em". Outside of the US, this single was released as "Let The Beat Hit 'Em Part 2."

TM Century serviced the radio mix so I'm guessing that's the version radio stations played.
