- Critical Beatdown is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Ultramagnetic MCs, released on October 4, 1988, by Next Plateau Records. Production for the album was handled primarily by the group's rapper and producer Ced-Gee, who employed an E-mu SP-1200 sampler as the album's main instrument. Music journalists have noted the album for its innovative production, funk-based samples, self-assertive themes, ingenious lyricism, and complex rhyme patterns by Ced-Gee and fellow rapper Kool Keith. Although it charted modestly on release, Critical Beatdown has since been acclaimed by critics as a classic album of hip hop's "golden age" and new school aesthetic. The album's abstract rhymes in strange syncopations laid on top of sampling experiments proved widely influential, from Public Enemy to gangsta rap to several generations of underground hip hop artists. Critical Beatdown was reissued by Roadrunner Records in 2004, with additional tracks. The self titled track is used on the soundtrack of the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the classic Hip Hop station " Playback FM" (en)

- The track features Kool Keith's and Ced-Gee's abstract braggadocio and a sound that encompasses a reversed sample of the whistliing saxophone from "The Grunt" by The J.B.'s, a chopped-up breakbeat by DJ Moe Love, and a keyboard sample from The Meters' "Little Old Money Maker". (en)
- Kool Keith's lyrics on the track feature pseudoscientific imagery and metaphors, including allusions to combustion and corrosion. (en)
- The track's stream-of-consciousness lyrics exhibit complex polyrhythms, while its beat has been described by one writer as "a mosaic of hacks and howls that sound as if they could suddenly disappear under the monstrous beat". (en)
