Not sampled from "Headline News", but rather "Operator's Choice". "Operator's Choice" has both the "Riddim full of culture, y'all" and laughing samples, so it's extremely likely Public Enemy just sampled both vocal samples from "Operator's Choice".

That's how I originally submitted, but it was changed to "Headline News" for some reason. Damn these Mikey Dread listings are confusing...
