'At the count of three I want y'all to tell me the name of my dj' is from "Terminator X Speaks with His Hands."

Thank you MrBlondNyc (hehe, it's you i was thinking of when posting my comment), I only checked out that Countdown To Arm track from PE (not a big fan). Btw: do you know where Chuck D says: 'At the count of three I want y'all to tell me the name of my dj'. Thanks again for showing me these two tracks, more tracks coming that sampled this intro. Damn PE is sampled a lot in house :D

PS: about the drugs ad: I was kidding, lamest ad I ever saw, can't believe they thought it would work. But damn it had me laughing :D
