No south london gangsta wannabe talkn over a hum drum same soundn beat! THIS is wot REAL rap sounds like! Not saying todays(2023) "rap" music is all shyte I'm just saying compared to the rap of the 80s today's rap cant compete!
The original original version is what I'd like to find a stereo rip of. Anyone with the "Rebel Without a Pause" 12" knows this. I'm not lucky enough to have a copy of my own.
This song was included on the soundtrack of the 1987 film Less Than Zero; the song was also released as a single that year. It later became the first song on the group's 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. The single reached No. 56 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The song's lyrics, most of which are delivered by Chuck D with interjections from Flavor Flav, include boasts of Public Enemy's prowess, an endorsement of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, retorts to unspecified critics, and arguments for rap as a legitimate musical genre on par with rock. The lyrics also have a notable metrical complexity, making extensive use of meters like dactylic hexameter. The title phrase appears in the chorus. The song includes several shout-outs to fellow hip hop artists like Run–D.M.C., Eric B, LL Cool J and, unusually for a rap group, Yoko Ono, Sonny Bono and thrash metal band Anthrax, allegedly because Chuck D was flattered about Scott Ian wearing Public Enemy shirts while performing Anthrax gigs. Anthrax later collaborated with Chuck D to cover the song.
The song's production by The Bomb Squad, which exemplifies their characteristic style, features a dissonant mixture of funk samples, drum machine patterns, record scratching by DJ Terminator X, siren sound effects and other industrial noise.
In 1991, Public Enemy recorded a new version with the metal band Anthrax. Chuck D has stated that upon the initial request of Anthrax, he "didn't take them wholehearted seriously", but after the collaboration was done, "it made too much sense." It was included on the Anthrax compilation Attack of the Killer B's and as the final track on Public Enemy's own Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black album, and was followed by a joint-tour featuring the two groups, with shows ending with both groups on stage performing the song together. Chuck D went on to say that shows on the tour were "some of the hardest" they ever experienced, but when the two bands joined on stage for "Bring the Noise", "it was shrapnel". Anthrax first played "Bring the Noise" live in 1989, two years before the Public Enemy collaboration, and it has been a live staple ever since. This collaboration proved that heavy metal and rap could get along quite well, and the subsequent tour when Public Enemy and Anthrax shared a bill showed that there was a similar audience.
It wasn't until 1991 when Gilbert O'Sullivan sued Biz Markee over sampling "Alone Again (Naturally)." Before then, rappers often sampled liberally without getting permission. This song uses parts of the following: The recording begins with a sample of Malcolm X's voice saying "Too black, too strong" repeatedly from his public speech at the Northern Negro Grass Roots Leadership Conference on November 10, 1963, in King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan entitled Message to the Grass Roots. "It's My Thing" by Marva Whitney (1968) "Get Off Your Ass and Jam" by Funkadelic (1975) "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose (Remix)" by James Brown (1986) "Get Up, Get into It, Get Involved" by James Brown (1970) "Fantastic Freaks at the Dixie" by DJ Grand Wizard Theodore "Funky Drummer" by James Brown (1970) (Drums) "I Don't Know What This World is Coming To" by the Soul Children (1972) (vocals) "Assembly Line" by Commodores (1974) (vocals)
The song was later sampled in "Much More" by De La Soul, "Here We Go Again!" by Portrait, "I Know" by Seo Taiji & Boys "Everything I Am" by Kanye West, and "Here We Go Again" by Everclear all sample Chuck D's voice saying "Here we go again" in "Bring the Noise". His exclamation "Now they got me in a cell" from the first verse of the song is also sampled in the Beastie Boys song "Egg Man". The track, 'Undisputed', from the 1999 album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic by Prince samples Chuck D's voice saying "Once again, back, it's the incredible" in its chorus and also features an appearance from Chuck D himself. This same sample is used in on Fat Joe's album All or Nothing on the track :Safe 2 Say (The Incredible)". Rakim, on his 1997 single "Guess Who's Back", uses the same sample. Also, the game Sonic Rush samples the beginning of "Bring the Noise" in the music for the final boss battle. In addition, Ludacris' hit How Low samples Chuck D's "How low can you go?" line. In 2010 it was sampled by Adil Omar and DJ Solo of Soul Assassins on their single "Incredible". LL Cool J used a sample on the line of Chuck D's "I Want Bass" during the final verse on the song, "The Boomin' System" from the 1990 Mama Said Knock You Out album. Also the lines "[To save] face, how low can you go" and "[So keep] pace how slow can you go" in Linkin Park's song Wretches and Kings on their Album A Thousand Suns (which is also produced by Rick Rubin) refer to Chuck D's line: "Bass! How low can you go?"
Additionally, Public Enemy sampled the song themselves in several other songs on It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, including the lines "Now they got me in a cell" and "Death Row/What a brother knows" in "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" and the lines "Bass!" and "How low can you go?" in "Night of the Living Baseheads".
Can someone find and upload Public Enemy – "Bring the Noise" (No Noise Version)? The "Noise Version" contains a looped sample of Funkadelic's "Get Off Your Ass And Jam" (1975). The "No Noise" versions are missing this sample. The album version features this sample, has a lot more going on in the stereo image, plus a "Funky Drummer" loop at the start of the second verse, missing from the "Noise/No Noise" versions. The a cappella version stops at the end of the second verse.

Sonic rush final boss anyone
As a white boy I can't agree that Farrakhan is a prophet: He is a racist asshole. Apart from that, love P.E.
I first heard this song playing WWE Day of Reckoning as a kid
Still get goosebumps
HARD as a Mofo
Wrapped in black
No one:
Kpop: I'm gonna go here and take yeah boi. Bye

Thank you Sega and Kanye for introducing me to a Banger
Too Black – Too Strong
Too Black – Too Strong.
