LOST AT BIRTH

This song is nuttin but PURE FUNK. A loop that's rock solid on the one, the "aaannnhh" loop - Terminator X is just incredible - I haven't heard any other hip hop DJs that touch the man.

MAN. I saw them do this jam live on their last tour (well - they SAID it was the last tour - sometime in 95?) and the place was insane... they did the beginning just like the record - with the repeats "get back cuz he wacks the tracks tha terminator!" over and over and the crowd started bouncing, and by the time he cut into the real rap, the floor was dropping about a FOOT from all the folks JUMPING.

If I had me an angry rock band, I'd call it PROPHETS OF RAGE

If you never heard this jam, and you like Rock and Rap. GET IT.

LOVE! THIS! ALBUM!

And I agree, no one touched Terminator X. Bomb Squad has a fucken blitzkrieg of funk beats for your ass too.

A very good LP, it was the last of a GREAT 4-album run. PE changed the sound of hip-hop and of music in general.

footnote: '91 was a good year for hip-hop, featuring PE, A Tribe Called Quest's classic "Low End Theory," Ice Cube's "Death Certificate," Downtown Science's self-titled LP, Cypress Hill's self-titled LP, De La Soul's "De La Soul Is Dead," Ice-T's "O.G.," and a ton of other jams.

My favorite hip-hop album ever, hands down, period. It doesn't let up.
