"HARDNESS" by other COMPANIES.
THERE IS NO WHEEL HARDER
THAN "98 A" BECAUSE:
1. The "RESINS" used today can't
achieve anything harder than 98 A.
2. The "A" SCALE ends at 100 A, and
NO reading above 98 A is possible.
THESE ARE THE FACTS !!!!
For 18 years, we have specialized in
urethane wheels, setting the standard
by which all wheels are made today.
To educate you about wheels, we will
be running technical information in our
adds for two reasons.
1. To help you become an educated buyer.
2. To help protect you from getting "RIPPED
OFF" of your hard earned money.

LA, when the whole Rodney King trial
was going on there, they were showing
it everyday on television. One of the
officers made a statement that he had a
call prior to the Rodney King call and
the Rodney King call was better than
the one he just had. He said it was
something out of Garilles in the Mit
So, we took that and worked with that
just to let our people know this is how
they think of us. And plus, they label
every ghetto a jungle, and beothers and

Why was "Pin the Tail on the
Honkey pulled?
Juse listen to the title alone. I think
the real reason was we had a lot of shit
in it. I'm not gonna quore any lyrics on
it. We had some shit on that, was really
serious, spoke on the govemment. I
figured, since it's our first album we
didn't want the boat to sink before it
started sailing. So we snatched that aff
because it's gonna do what it's gonna
do, regardless. We gonna try to get
that song out there as a single ur an Ep.

Being on tour with the Beastle
Boys and Henry Rollins gives
you exposure to hardcore
music. Will you ever work with
a live band rather than a DJ?
Nope, not on stage. We got some
brochers called the Torture Chamber
that play shit live so we won't have to
sample. But on the road, ne. You lose a
lot of the hip-hop in the purity in the
music. In hip-hop you need that dirty
sound. I like sampling records some-
times, that nickle and dirt. You need
that dirty sound. I dont want no
muthafuckin' band. If Public Enemy
wants to use a band, I can't knock
them brochers, they expressing what
they want to do, and I support them
with whatever they do. When it comes
down to us, we ain't going like that.
Any last comments?
For the readers out there, seek
knowledge of self, find out who you
really are. That way you'll have a better
understanding about yourself and the
system. And go buy the albam.
