Terminator X, or Norman Rogers in real life, is a DJ, radio host, and producer, known mostly for his contribution to the seminal hip-hop group Public Enemy as the imposing Terminator X, who only ‘spoke with his hands.’

Prior to the release of his sophomore album “Super Bad,” Terminator X suffered from a broken leg as a result of a motorcycle accident, and would later relocate to Vance County, North Carolina to pursue ostrich farming. Terminator X would eventually retire from Public Enemy in 1998, after the release of the soundtrack album “He Got Game,” to focus on raising African black ostriches on his 15-acre farm.

These days, Terminator X has recently returned from retirement, hosting a radio show titled, “On the Edge of Panic,” based on the Public Enemy track, “Terminator X to the Edge of Panic, hosted by publicenemy.com”
