In the mid-80s, Public Enemy and their production team, The Bomb Squad, weren’t content with a simple loop, they piled samples on top of samples, weaving sirens, breaks, stabs, and vocal snippets into dense, chaotic collages. Armed with turntables, early samplers, and an ear for the unexpected, they created tracks that felt like a hundred ideas colliding at once, yet somehow locked perfectly in place. This is the story of how that fearless approach reshaped the sound of hip hop.
