    Why does Jack the Ripper end so abruptly? Such a banger of a tune deserves a proper finale

      Jack The Ripper was life-changing...I can still hearing it for the very first time on late-night rap radio in early '88...this, and Beats To The Rhyme, were just such powerful tracks, nothing like them before or since.

          It is worth mentioning that the B-side version of "Jack The Ripper" is a mix that was rarely heard on the radio. There are some points in the beat that stop to enhance the vocal or scratching lead in to the chorus. It is a much better version than the All World version imo..
