Looking for Trouble

In November, Kanye released "Looking for Trouble" featuring Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi and J.Cole. The song samples one of my favorite tunes from Steel Pulse, "Blues Raid Dance". In general, I go crazy for nice reggae samples and this sample is one of my favorites. Cam'ron also samples the song on "Bubble Music" from Purple Haze. I'm still conflicted as to who uses the sample better, but I'm starting to lean towards Cam'ron. There's a lot more going on with the sample in "Bubble Music" also the tempo of the song is much faster. West's "Looking for Trouble" is definitely a better song especially due to the crazy verse that J.Cole drops. Let me know what song you think uses the sample better.
