Super Bad is the second solo album by DJ Terminator X. The album was released on June 21, 1994, on Def Jam Recordings sub-label RAL and was produced by Terminator X, Kool DJ Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Russell Simmons. The album was only a minor success, making it to #189 on the Billboard 200 and #38 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Two singles were released, "Under the Sun" and "It All Comes Down to the Money," the latter of which made it to #26 on the Hot Rap Singles. "It All Comes Down to the Money" was released in 1993.

## Production

Super Bad features guest appearances from many hip hop musicians, including Ice Cube, Chuck D, Ice-T, Whodini, Grandmaster Flash, Kool DJ Herc, Cold Crush Brothers, The Fantastic Five, and Jam Master Jay.

## Critical reception

Vibe wrote that "although much of Super Bad is fueled by spare beats--slinky keyboards here, the signature PE siren loops there, scratching and drum machine effects everywhere--Terminator X makes good on his tip-off proclamation 'I speak with my hands.'" Billboard praised "Under the Sun," calling it "an intelligent vibe, fueled by some of the spaciest grooves since Parliament." Trouser Press wrote: "Tripping from Jamaica to the Bronx and back, the diverse album is kinetic, jazzy, soulful, cinematic and absurdly entertaining."
