Help locate stolen Tom Waits song by 3rd Bass

I just read an interview with Tom Waits from '92 in which was mentioned that Waits 'took action' against rappers 3rd Bass for sampling the song "Down in the Hole" from "Bone Machine."

"They probably think I'm a real prick but I said listen, you didn't just take the boom-ching-boom, you took the whole song."

I'm interested in hearing it but can't find the title listed on any 3rd Bass recording. Does anyone have an idea how I can track down this one?

Thanks

I song you are looking for is off the album "Derelicts of Dialect." The song is "ACE in the Hole". The album sucks, Beastie Boy wanna be's. There is sealed copy of the cd on Ebay.

By the way the song first appeared on "Frank's Wild Years" and it's "Way Down in the Hole." It also is performed live on the Cd version of "Big Time."

Tom Waits blows me away,he has an unique sound but one of the mysteries of life is how a great looking guy ended up looking like Kieth Richards is beyond me. Another thing is the song is used as the lead in credits for the HBO series The Wire and Waits get no mention.The second season they went with another song.
