HE co-founded one of the most important rap groups of all time.<\/p>\n

But after 13 years mixing and scratching for Public Enemy, DJ Terminator X, 57, temporarily turned his back on the music business to work on an emu farm.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The unlikely career switch saw Terminator – real name Norman Rogers – decamp to a 15 acre plot in South Carolina to stud the fast birds<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Public Enemy frontman Chuck D lamented being unable to escape the bizarre piece of the group's lore in an interview with the Guardian.<\/p>\n

Explaining how often he speaks to his bandmates, he says: Public Enemy\u00a0does a conference Zoom call every two weeks, so, yeah, I still speak to him once in a while. <\/p>\n

"I\u2019ve eaten ostrich in South Africa years ago. But, no. It wasn\u2019t an ostrich farm anyway, it was an emu farm, and it was destroyed by a hurricane in the late 90s or early 00s. <\/p>\n

"This just shows you how digital news<\/span> never goes away. It\u2019s like radiation. That\u2019s why we have to watch it with news, because they\u2019re still saying Terminator X has his ostrich farm, and no matter how many times we refute it, this same dumb-ass question comes up. It\u2019s no one\u2019s fault: it just shows how far we\u2019ve got [to go] to get the space junk out of orbit, bro."<\/p>\n

Terminator is now once again behind the decks playing all manner of events from hip hop cruises to festivals and after-parties.<\/p>\n

It's little surprise that the scene legend is getting booked up though.<\/p>\n

His credits include classic albums It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and Fear Of A Black Planet, which sold 2 million copies in the US alone.<\/p>\n
