I recently learned this song is mostly sampled, I had no idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoq5-bLYM5Q

Wow, what an amazing breakdown video visualization. I see there are a bunch of these, for e.g. Daft Punk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QwOpRh-IfI, Britney Spears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXXUodk-pVo, Fatboy Slim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaaQyVRndMA&list=PLmsQco5tyS...

How have they reverse engineered these?

Not sure exactly how it was done in this case, but the first sample (the "amen break" - you can look it up) is one of the most sampled tracks ever. There are documentaries about it.

I imagine that many people who work with samples and production and deconstructing would develop an ear for it.

Similar for rapper's delight too I imagine.
