yup. As far as i remember i think you can hear it on the album on a track Light Speed. There's a voice that says "Chronic 2000" and just after that there's a sampled voice of KRS-One saying "one". I think they made the song before the legal issue and added that sample later.

Always like this part, this is so muthafuckin' good sampled.

I wonder how many songs have sampled krs-one's infamous "ONE". Better yet, I wonder how much he's made off that lol
