What have the artists said about the song?

Chuck D said the inspiration for the song came to him as he was flying over Italy during Public Enemy's Run's House tour:

I wanted to have sorta like the same theme as the original 'Fight the Power" by the Isley Brothers and fill it in with some kind of modernist views of what our surroundings were at that particular time.

He told Keyboard magazine in 1990:

'Fight the Power' has, like, 17 samples in the first 10 seconds. For example, there's three different drum loops that make one big drum loop: One is a standard Funkadelic thing, another is a Sly [Stone] thing, and I think the third is the Jacksons.
