The Samples: PUBLIC ENEMY - FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET Edition 

SO MANY LAYERED SAMPLES. BOMB SQUAD ARE MAGICIANS! A shame a record like this can never be made again.

This album is sampling MASTERPIECE!!! Unfortunately, this was right around the time that Hip Hop artists started getting sued by the original artists. The layering was so outstanding!!! This album is the reason I would say The Bomb Squad were in the top 3 Hip Hop producers of all time.

When you consider all the unrecognizable samples underneath each other. And how they all combine to make these otherworldly sounds. It’s something I find hasn’t been explored as well since PE. They make these instrumentals out of samples, but turn these samples into something widely different.

We need this record during these times more than ever. Much love to the Bomb Squad

Best album of history!

You missed the guitar sample in "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" from Prince "Let's Go Crazy."

Wow I’ve wanted this to be done for decades…this is the best music post I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. Hands down wow!!!!

Easily the greatest use of sampling as it’s own unique art form. 1988-1991 had some incredible use of dense layered sampling. This album, NWA’s EFIL4ZAGGIN, Pop Will Eat Itself This is the Day, This is the Hour, This is this and Skinny Puppy’s Too Dark Park all come to mind. But the Bomb Squad for sure were easily the best at it. They did this album and Ice Cube’s Amerikkka’s Most Wanted the same year!

Happy 32nd Anniversary to this album, Fear of a Black Planet, since 1990.

If I were limited to the first 3 PE albums for the rest of my life, I'd still die content. Great work, man!

That "B-side Wins Again" was my joint!

the Eddie Murphy sample is so random i’m obsessed

It’s a musical tapestry of genius

Shout out to the Bomb Squad for putting together a sampling masterpiece!!

I think I requested this... you nailed it. I’ve listened to this album hundreds of times, studied it. You caught a lot of subtle samples.

So, Public Enemy Sampled Haywood prior to Dre.

en Revolutionary generation faltó nombrar Listen to me, de Baby Huey. Muy buen trabajo!

this reminds me of this netflix show “the get down”

Man, I always thought the "Why must I feel like that?" in Pollywannacraka was from George Clinton's Atomic Dog. Guess it was a double sample!

Bomb squad pure dope on production

This was a good one right here Boyeeee!!!

This is dope. Was literally jusf thinking could i find the samples

This video is DOPE 😎 If you do “Nation of Millions” too then you will be Legendary in my book 😁

3:56 7:36 Are the same song but he used two different album covers. Nice.

I have a couple requests 1. The Samples: Renard Edition 2. The Samples: Christtt Edition 3. The Samples: Will Smith Edition Christtt can be found on RU-vid just by typing his name in the search bar, he has a yellow and red picture for his profile. He has made lists of samples he used, but not all of them are linked to the original source. An album he did was called Social Justice Whatever, and I figured you could start there. Oh and one more request: The Samples: Neil Cicierega Mouth Moods edition.

Amazing video: Still NOBODY knows where the bass line from Brothers Gonna Work It Out is from...anyone??? Ive wondered for 30 years

That reeked wreck stuff.

Great great,f*ckin great😎👌🙌

Сколько много денег, заплатила группа за использование сэмплов в своих песнях! Но игра стоила свеч!..

*The Bomb Squad were SO slick, sleek and INVENTIVE that they were virtually a group all their OWN*

The only flaw is I’ve confirmed that PE samples the Bonus Beats version of Funky Drummer.

Wow

I saw a video like this for dj shadows endtroducing a while back and waa hoping this existed, great work , thank you

Ok..soo on Brothers Gonna Work it Out...is the guitar sample from Prince's Let Go Crazy?? I didn't see it on here..

At 18.43 i can hear "pump me up" in there its "scatchin to the funk" By Cash Money although he uses a different name, Dr Funkinstein i think

Do psycho realm, delinquent habits, n funkdoobies, dj mugs soul assassins

I don't know if you will READ this but can you do P.E. 2nd album IT TAKES A NATION etc that my FAVORITE album of theirs also you forgot the LET'S GO CRAZY by PRINCE for BROTHERS GONNA WORK IT OUT Thanks

Maybe next you should do DJ Fresh?

Earth wind and fire shining star is the source for brothers gonna work it out.

Thank you for this! Does anybody know the sample of the girl’s voice in the background during the chorus? Sounds like, “Ah, he is…., ah, he is…” Or maybe it’s “Ah, y-es…, ah, y-es…”

No one can still tell me the piano loop in Brother’s gonna work it out

is there a nation of millions version?

At 0:07 what song from Public Enemy is that beat from?

Is the track name of the Malcolm McLaren "Brownsville" sample right? I think it appears on the track World's Famous off the same album: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dq_dDiLZl38.html

Seven?

Are you guys aware of how much it would cost to make just ONE of these songs today with 7 or 8 samples?

Wassup
