Thinking about how hip-hop used to be heavily chastised for sampling, only to have one of the biggest pop artists in the world use a sample without asking when Madonna sampled Public Enemy's "Security of the First World" for her song "Justify My Love". Fun fact, there is a small sample of Jackie Robinson's "Pussy Footer" used on Public Enemy's track, just a simple voice sample about 2:44 in on the sampled track, but otherwise the Bomb Squad made a purely original track and it's a banger on its own.
