Yes.

No, he's not dissing Q-Bert. Shadow kind of worked on
Dr. Octagon as well (doing a remix of "Waiting List"
with the Automator). And Q-Bert did an awe-inspiring
megamix of Mr. Davis' stuff ("Camel Bobsled Race,"
which appears both on a Mo'Wax 12" and the second disc
of Shadow's "Pre-Emptive Strike"). The two are tight,
to say the least.
So I think the "HBMS" track is more of a tribute to
the original.
