Paid In Full (7 Minutes of Madness) – Eric B. & Rakim
Built around a sample of Israeli vocalist Ofra Haza's eerie voice and a bassline pulsing with a low-end groove

Straight Outta Compton – N.W.A.
It starts with neither a whisper nor a fade-in. It comes like a warning shot. N.W.A.'s 1988 debut album's opening salvo
Sabotage – Beastie Boys
Sabotage by the Beastie Boys isn’t just a song. It’s a live grenade thrown into a room full of suits who think they’ve got everything under control.
