"Fight for Your Right" question.

[Thebanjohype]

I don't listen to this song very much at all, but it's always kind of made me wonder-where did that "YEAH!" at the very beginning of the song come from? I know it's a sample, since I've heard in a few Public Enemy songs, but I have no idea where it's from. Anyone know, or even a guess?

[Extra Cheese]

i dont think its a sample.

I always thought it was Adrocks voice, and would put money on it too...

ya reckon ?

[Thebanjohype]

I've heard it in two Public Enemy songs, and it also has a clip like it was taken from something else. I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure it's a sample. It also seems deeper than Adrock's voice.

[Jmoney77]

yea

[korn_phr33k]

Never wouldve thought it was a sample. thats good to know, i always assumed it was Adrock or MCA, now i know.

Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse) - Run-DMC

It's on their album "Ultimate Run-DMC", it's actually DMC saying it.

It's been sampled to death by everyone.

What year was the release of this song? I had heard it recently in another rap song circa 1983 a couple of weeks ago.

it has been sampled to death....including on the Beasties' 59 Chrystie Street......but its not the 'yeah' on FFYR........

[dave790]

i thought it was adrock

[Sir SkratchaLot]

Its not a sample. It may be Adrock but I always thought it was Yauch because of the gritty pitch.

CJ's right, its not that sample. Although that's very commonly used by DJs. The sample is "How Y'all Feel Out There. Ahhh Yeah", and then they go into the song. Its different from the one on Fight for Your Right, which I'm positive is not a sample. I'm pretty sure its Yauch.

[ggirlballa]

i think its adrock

[Jitters]

It probably is Adrock, knowing how much they reference things it's probably just a "mention" of some of the other songs you guys brought up.

[Chicka B]

i think its adrock

Me too. Beastiemania didn't mention a sample, and it's at the end of Girls not the begginning of FFYR. I just learned that. = /

[kleptomaniac]

how do you know it's not mike d and he just fooled all of y'all?! :p



just kidding, i have no idea :rolleyes:

but i'd say adrock.

[BroomHead]

There's no doubt in my mind that it's Adrock saying it. The sample you're hearing in those public enemy songs is a sample from FFYR.

Thanks (y)

[Jitters]

Don't Thank me Bro, I was wrong.

That was freakin hilarious :D

[chechina]

What a drag it is getting Old.

But you don't have to worry, 'cause you're so damn cold...

[rileigh]

Why don't they ever sing Fight For Your Right at their concerts?

[jackrock]

My guess would be because it sucks.

[rileigh]

Awwwwwww.

[acamus]

Why don't they ever sing Fight For Your Right at their concerts?

That's what they got know for and often still are saddled with that song. Yauch thinks it's corny.

[ggirlballa]

the last time they played "Fight for Your Right" was in 1987 in Madision Square Garden according to BeastieMania

[Extra Cheese]

My guess would be because it sucks.

that would be my guess as well

[dave790]

as i posted, i always thought it was adrock since day one. how can people consider it to be yauch? just out of interest...only i don't think, and never have done, that it sounds at all like him.

anyway, the song doesn't suck. it has it's place on LTI quite nicely i think. no, i don't like that people who tend to know fuck-all about the beastie boys see that as their main legacy. of course that's ridiculous. but i know that, and so does everyone else whose a fan.

so basically... yeah it's a goof, but it's one that probably got plenty of fans and in all truthness really kick-started the beasties career. so some of them may have been complete jocks - notice how i'm stealing mca's description from the SOS booklet here - and some probably still are, but hey...that song played it's part and i respect that.

[carl]

Right from day one I've always assumed it was Adrock responsible for "yeah".

As for LTI, it's a great record. It still gives me an energy buzz each time I hear it. :)

[ggirlballa]

it was me:D

[ILLMIX]

so is the "yeah" from a sample or is it from one of the beasties??? I Have heard the "yeah" all over the place in loads of different songs

[Chicka B]

It sounds a whole lot like Adam Horovitz to me.

[jackrock]

pshsh i don't even hear it

[ggirlballa]

so is the "yeah" from a sample or is it from one of the beasties??? I Have heard the "yeah" all over the place in loads of different songs

its in tons of NWA songs

i was just listening to some NWA last night & kept on hearing the "yeah!" but Dre sampled that from LTI :cool:

i just noticed last night that "yeah!" is at the end of Girls not Fight for your Right :eek:

so chicka u were right (y)

[kleptomaniac]

you can hear the yeah on solid gold hits, but not sounds of science...i observed (lb) :p


of course it sounds much more "oomphed" on sgh...well it does for me.
