Cypress Hill - "What's Your Number?"

I'd been hearing this on the radio* for weeks before the other night, when a co-worker made a frowny face and said "is that a Clash sample?", and suddenly I realized that he was right, it's "Guns of Brixton". said co-worker called it a "sham", but c'mon, it's not as bad as the original "Guns of Brixton". but it's also not as good as "Will2K".

* it's been getting lots of spins on the local alt-rock station, and none on the rap stations, which I guess is a given after "Insane In The Brain" and "(Rock) Superstar" and Lollapalooza and all that, but I still think it's weird that that's their target market.

too much of a bite IMO. even the vocal melody in the chorus is the same.

"...not as bad as the original "Guns of Brixton". but it's also not as good as "Will2K"."

But how does it compare to Dub Be Good To Me?
