At first I thought it might've been some weird rights issue but the music is still present in other sections ("we ain't 'fraid of no ghost"), so I think it's just alternate mix either done on purpose or mistake on the Run DMC compilation. Things like this happen a lot.
FWIW, Google Play Music appears to have both versions.
It's so weird because not long ago, they had the proper version available under the same track. I know because the original version that I favorited now plays this version of the song.
Prior to all this, for the longest time, the GB2 soundtrack had everyone on the original CD minus the run DMC theme. I think this was because none of Run DMC's library was available on Spotify. That has obviously changed since then.
Either way, I really don't like this mix of the song. I prefer the original.
