One would think it would be credited if it is a Prince sample. It can't be too hard to find out.

A few years back there was an ad on TV for rum or something where this House of Pain song was sampled. It always reminded me of the Gett Off squeal, yet I think I always concluded it only bore a strong resemblance and was not the real thing. So Jimmy you're not the only one, son.

Actually until the mid-90s when sampling laws went into effect, a lot of early hip hop tracks did not credit the source of their samples.

Just to get back to the original question, I always thought Public Enemy's use of the guitar solo and scream from "Let's Go Crazy" looped in "Brothas Gonna Work It Out" was pretty creative. The way they looped it, it almost created a totally different melody.

I dug that as well.that was back when you could Mix alot of Samples together without Paying on it.Sampling back in the day was Tax Free&The Original many a time for a while didn't get paid&funny this Same Industry tripped on Napster,etc...??? Yeah Public Enemy were had some of the Coolest&Most Creative Forms of Sampling&Looping Grooves&Hooks IMHO.back then Sampling&Looping was a true art form unlike Today.you really had to mix things up.

I really like that Public Enemy loop of "Let's Go Crazy".

I think 1 of the coolest sounds that a DJ scratched in 4 a stab would b:

Cut-Creator's usage of Prince's "Irresistable Bitch" [1983] on
LL Cool J's "Dangerous" [1985]
