Gas Face marks the first appearance on wax of Zev Love X from KMD, better known now as the underground legend MF Doom.
MC Hammer gets 'the Gas Face' on this song, to which he responded by sending death threats to all involved. Naturally everyone was really scared and hid under rocks for the rest of their lives!

Most notably is the tune, "Words Of Wisdom" where (3RD Bass), sample the famous Amen Break !
If you ask me ,it is the greatest break ever...no matter the style.
If you are a true amen addict, and a hip hop fanatic then this one can not be left out,in your collection.
