That song is brilliant. I think the video detracts a bit. I recommend just listening to it.

My understanding is that it's entirely comprised of sampled clips. A triumph of sound engineering.

I mean, Coldcut, DJ Shadow and the like were making sample-fests in the early 90s. The word is, Shadow's sampler of choise MPC60 can hold only something like 12 or 16 samples at a time, so the magic was him making ‘Endtroducing’ out of that.
