Public Enemy - Fight The Power (Instrumental) (Ultra Rare!) 

One of the best beats in hip hop history

R.I.P Radio Raheem

this is just one of the best beats.

Will never forget the summer of '89 every time I hear this fist✊🏾

This beat will forever stand the test of time 💯

The Bomb Squad’s best arrangement, along with “Night of the Living Baseheads”.

That intro never gets old!! Every time I hear it… I get amped and excited… and then i rewind it again 😂😂😂.. and then that beat drops… 1989 da number… another summer….

The sampling on this song as well as all bomb squad music are plain masterpieces.

This song is perfect for the times we're in this is a wake up message!!!!!!

Black Power 👑🦁💯✊🏾🔥

Who's listening to this in 2020? This should be the anthem for the current protest worldwide

This is dope. I can all the James Brown & Bobby Bird beats & guitar riffs....oh yeah this is deeply immersed in the Funk.

I love the James Brown/Sly Stone samples in this track!!!

Lol!The other day I was playing this loud af at the house, and Caught my lil' 5 year old nephew doin some type of robot dance to this😂

I always thought this beat/Production was Epic!!!

One of the greatest!

Man!.............. I got goose bumps when the hook came in. I feel like I just went back in time to the verry moment chuck Hurd this beat. I can see him write fight the power

There was nothing like this before, there will never be anything like it again.

All I can think of are the Brothers I grew to know and Love who provided the vibe to close out that decade! The SOUNDTRACK OF MY 1st Days in RADIO!❤

Inspiration, spike lee thank you for helping people to re realize the power of what they have to say . Stand up against injustice!

Got to go hard on this. This beat is ultimately rare

Radio Raheem Rest In Power! ✊

Public Enemy sampled this entire back rhythm rift from a section of James Brown's song ESCAPISM. They can't out- funk The God Father!

Best ringtone ever!

I found the instrumental version of this YEARS ago when limewire was working. I saved it on my iPod along with many others and someone stole it out of my room. This beat is extremely rare, you're right lol. Thanks for finding it... :-)

Man listen to how dense this tune really is genius. " sound of the funky drummer ".

It's great to hear this and break it all down as an audio engineer n music lover. Thanks for posting!!✌🙂

(First Verse:) 1989---the number....another summer Get down! Sound of the funky drummer! Music hittin ya heart cuz I know ya got soul Brothas and sistas, hey! Listen if ya missing ya'll Swingin while I'm singin Givin whatcha gettin Know what I'm knowin While them black bands sweatin And them rhythm rhymes rollin Gotta give us what we want---uh! Gotta give us what we need---hey! Our freedom of speech Is freedom or death We gotta fight the powers that be! Lemme hear ya say FIGHT THE POWER!!! (repeat 7x) WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!! (Second Verse:) As the rhythm's designed to bounce What counts is that the rhyme's Designed to fill ya mind Now that you realize the pride's arrived We gotta pump the stuff to make us tough From the heart---it's a start A work of art---to revolutionize Make a change---nothing's strange People, people we are the same No we're not the same Cuz we don't know the game What we need is awareness We can't get careless You say what is this? My beloved---let's get down to business Mental self-defensive fitness Yo bum rush the show We gotta go for what we know Hey---to make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be Lemme hear ya say FIGHT THE POWER!!!! (repeat 7x) WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!! (Terminator X interlude) FIGHT THE POWER!!! (repeat 5x) WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!! (Third Verse:) Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant sh** to me Ya see---straight out racist that sucker was Simple and plain---motherf*** him and John Wayne Cuz I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready---I'm hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back You look and find nothing but rednecks for 400 years If you check---"Don't Worry Be Happy" was a number one jam Damn if I say it---you can slap me right here Get it---let's get this party started right Right on What we gotta say----yeah Power to the people----no delay To make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be

Def Jam Vendetta

1989!!!!! year I was born, powerful and historical song. Think this was voted best hip hop song ever by VH1.

Excellent quality the best version I’ve ever heard thank you

Love it. Beautiful. Beautiful ❤️.

Better quality than the actual songs posted recently

2 SLICES!!

Smh Comin' str8 from an era in Hip Hop that was fun, enlightening and ultimately powerful.

The story of Life is this...STATIC! One hand is always fighting the other hand. The left hand is kicking much ass. I mean it looks like right hand, Love is finished. But hold on. Stop the presses! The right hand is coming back. Yeah, he's got the left hand on the ropes now. That's right! Oh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt. He's down. Left hand Hate KO'd by Love.

Pure Fire public enemy FOREVER

"BRBRBRBRBRBRB CHK CHK CHK!!" then one of the best beats ever

Lawd have Mercy!! Much obliged Mr. Shocklee!!! Sooo underrated!!!

Grown up in Amsterdam says: ‘Lovin’ it!’ Thanks and much love.

wow, that is amazing, though what doesn't come up is the great Saxophone solo, which I guess, was muted out, or something. Still, I love this, and one of the greatest.

still blastin' through Radio Raheem's speakers

Terminator X is sick! what they did in Brooklyn, needs to come to Newark, Nj bring the noise,I would to see it again.

“..................Can’t we even get our own music?” Anthony Swofford Jarhead

"2 slices." "NO SERVICE TILL YOU TURN THAT SHIT OFF!" "..2 slices." "Turn it off!" "MR. RADIO RAHEEM I CANT EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK, YOU ARE DISTURBING ME, YOU ARE DISTURBING MY CUSTOMERS!"

I used to be getting my ass beat on Def Jam Vendetta to this 🤣

Bomb squad was in a zone during this time...incredible!

People, people, we've got to get over Before we go under, yeaaaah Lord - Funky President (People It's Bad)

Keith Shocklee, word! Let's go!!

Yo, listen up, in the streets where it's rough, Where the hustlers hustle, and the dealers puff, Born in the belly of the beast, where it's real, Grew up fast, learned to steal and deal. A product of the block, where the shots ring out, Where survival's the game, and doubt's the only route, From the concrete jungle, where the weak get devoured, To the top of the game, where the strong got power. Raised in the era of crack and crime, Where the only way out was to climb and climb, A street soldier, with a heart of stone, In a world where the truth is never shown. Every word he spits, like a bullet from a gun, Every rhyme, every line, weighs a ton, No mercy in his flow, just raw grit, In the land of the lost, he's the ultimate hit. From the corners to the clubs, he's a kingpin, With a crew so tight, they always win, Innovating the game, with a style so fresh, In the heart of the struggle, he's the best of the best. So listen close, to the words he speak, In the language of the streets, where the strong seek, A voice for the voiceless, a hero in the night, In the world of gangster rap, he's the beacon of light.

IMMORTAL.

Great find! Didn't really hear the Guy sample in the vocal version.

Very nice

Soooo Classic!

I have the Motown 12” promo but it doesn’t have the instrumental though. In fact the Def Jam reissue in 2005 doesn’t have it either. So the term Ultra Rare certainly applies here. So dope. What a classic.

what they did in Brooklyn, needs to come to Newark, Nj bring the noise,I would to see it again.

Thanks man

Doooooppppe!!!!!! From France and Indian Ocean
