"Fight The Power" is censored on the "Fear Of A Black Planet" album, but not on the single version available on the Soundtrack CD and the Hip-Hop box set. The single was released at the end of June, two weeks before the Soundtrack was released in July 1989. The song`s rhythm track incorporates Clyde Stubblefield`s drum solo from James Brown`s "Funky Drummer," claimed to be the most-sampled musical element in all of hip-hop. About 12 seconds into the excerpt of "Fight The Power" Chuck D. says "sound of the Funky Drummer." Once you`ve listened to the drum solo a few times it`s easier to isolate it from the other elements of "Fight The Power`s" rhythm track.

"Angel From Montgomery" was written by John Prine and first recorded by Bonnie Raitt on her "Streetlight" album from 1974. This version was performed as a duet in 1985 at a tribute concert for Steve Goodman, which was released on a small label at the time and therefore not widely circulated until 1990, now, on The Bonnie Raitt Collection.
