"You're Gonna Get Yours" (sometimes subtitled "My 98 Oldsmobile") is a 1987 single by hip hop group Public Enemy from their debut album Yo! Bum Rush the Show (1987).[1] Chuck D references the Oldsmobile 98 automobile in the song's lyrics.[2] It peaked at number 88 on the UK Singles Chart.[3][4] According to Rolling Stone, the song helped Chuck D and production team Bomb Squad "[introduce] an intense, booming new sound and an urgent social and political message to rap music".[1]
MARRS sampled the song in their 1987 hit single "Pump Up the Volume".[5] Public Enemy fans Red Hot Chili Peppers have been known to use the song as an intro jam during live performances of their own song, "Give It Away".[6][7]
The song was also featured in the 1999 British-Irish independent film Human Traffic.[8]
