"B-Side Wins Again" is a song originally created by the famous rap group Public Enemy, which is included and makes its first appearance on their legendary album, Fear of a Black Planet.

The song has been remixed at least twice. The first appearing on PE's latter album, Revolverlution listed as "B Side Wins Again (Scattershot Remix)" and again on another album called Drums Of Death done by DJ Spooky and Dave Lombardo with Chuck D providing the original lyrics under its original title.

This version has been featured on three video games: Need For Speed: Most Wanted, SSX On Tour, and NBA 2K6 titled "Metaverse" which is an instrumental version of the song.

So far, no official music video has been made, but several fan videos have been created. The song is what people would consider a sleeper hit, and its use in video games is most responsible for its fame.
