Sheesh. You'd think anyone who listened to any amount of hip hop
would realize that the Tricky track is merely a cover of P.E.'s (or,
I should say PUBLIC ENEMY for those who are completely CLUELESS!!)
"Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" and that the Pharcyde very cleverly
(yes, they can be clever) merely redid these lyrics in a humorous way
because anyone who has EVER listened to hip hop knows these lyrics
well and where they came from. Kinda reminds me of the nimrod who
once said upon overhearing a track by Rob Base,"War" (which sampled
the classic Edwin Starr classic) and said, "Hey, this samples Frankie
Goes to Hollywood." I'm glad he didn't think Bruce Springsteen
created this song...
I wonder if they listen to P.E. in Spain? At least it might explain
some things...
