Terminator X & The Valley of the Jeep Beets


Terminator X & the Valley of the Jeep Beets is the debut solo album by American DJ Terminator X, released in 1991. Produced by Terminator X and Carl Ryder, the album was moderately successful, reaching number 97 on the Billboard 200 and number 19 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Two successful singles were released: "Homey Don't Play Dat," which made it to number one on the Hot Rap Singles, and "Buck Whylin'," which made it to number 7 on the Hot Rap Singles and featured Chuck D and Sister Souljah, as well as a sample from "Rise Above", by Black Flag.
In 1999, Chuck D recollected that his first introduction to the Internet occurred during promotion of the album: "We used it as a different way to handle interviews. Since was a DJ, he was not a verbal person. The computer let him speak with his hands."

Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the album confirmed Terminator X "as one of the finest DJs in the business." Trouser Press wrote that the album mostly "features little-known artists... with average skills; the Terminator's beats are likewise less than monumental." Spin called the album "the vinyl version of a great block party backed by the world's best DJ."
