Inspetcah mothafuckin' Deck!

[linx]

Who else is a big fan of Inspetcah Deck? If you don't know who he is, hit the X at the top right of your window and slap yourself in the face ASAP. We all know that Wu-Tang is filled with people who can spit. Like Ice T said, every last one of them mothafuckas. Meth is the most popular probably, yet Raekwon and Ghostface get alot of attention as well. Gza's also a favorite and most people consider him the best lyrically sound emcee in Wu Tang. Rza is one of the best producers of all time, need I really explain? Ol Dirty is ..Ol Dirty. He's known as that crazy mothafucka. Then there's the other not-so-known, overlooked members.

However, when people talk about dope verses, I see this one come up alot..

"I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block!"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "Triumph"

Shit, that's one of my favorite verses EVER! On some real shit, i've honestly been listening to hip hop FOREVER and i've had many verses hit me like WHOA! But none have stuck to me like this one has 10 or so years later. Fact is, Deck will hit you like that when you're listening to Wu songs. You'll get that dope verse from him out of nowhere when it's his time to rhyme.

"Yo this is MC wizardry, killa bee invasion
Men of respect, blessed with wisdom of the ancients
My words are blatant, lacerate necks for statements
are launched like lead projectiles, straight out the basement
I suplex your rap, left ruined like the Aztecs
Parasites, double edge dice your larynx
My hip-hop, swarmin team locked inside the detox
Under key flock, it's like b-block and E-glocks
you're ill, your trail end thoughts are frail
I strike the cypher, and let one survive to tell the tale
Of my state of grace, I raise the stakes on snakes
Knock em off like the big eights for takin up space
Never did fear em, stick em with the truth serum
Who sent em, arrest em before my charge is ended
Designated hitter flows with the transistor
Kinetic globes light will then shine, burns your retina
Urban journal, plus eternal broadcaster
Before and after, I be self lord and master!"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "Heaterz"

Another one of my favorite Deck verses. The first time I heard this verse I loved it. And I still do!

"It's only natural, actual facts are thrown at you
The impact'll blow trees back and crack statues
Million dollar rap crews fold, check the sick shit
explicit, I crystalize the rhyme so you can sniff it
We live this, fitted hats low conceal the Crooked I
No surprise, verbal stick up -- put em high
Rebel I, outlaw, split second on the draw
Blow the door off this shit, like bricks of C-4"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "It's Yourz"

"Yo, aiyyo my rap style swing like Willie Mays
My eyes Purple Haze, my solar razor burn through shades
My grenades raid the airwaves, catch this rap page
I glide like, hovercrafts on the Everglades
Born master, with the faster blade, track slasher
Manufacture poems to microphones, bones fracture
Limited edition composition spark friction
non-fiction, the calm bomb keep your arm distant
Zero tolerance, dominant intelligence
Wu original, true colors step from the melanin
The most high, most try, to get close by
and overthrow I, but choke, with they hopes up high
I circulate the tri-state and vibrate beyond the Richter
Flies sense to flock when they spot this live nigga
The crowd seducer black your third eye before I lose ya
Verbal high I leave stars in the eyes of Medusa
Top ten, parley like Cochran, and Sharpton
narrow margin, of your odds to dodge the marksman
Murder rap, kill you soft like Roberta Flack
Words attack like a British Bulldog, observe the stacks"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "For Heavens Sake"

"Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
their life and times, deadly like the virus design
but too, minute to dilute, the scientist mind"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "A Better Tomorrow"

"What you know about this, specialist armed dangerous
Hit you close range with this madness
Unique design shine like a deep dish
The beat kick technique split all your weak shit
Yes, the rhythm, the Rebel
Alone in my level heat it up past the boiling point of metal
Living legend, veteran known to set trend
Lethal weapon, step through your section
with the Force like Luke Skywalker
Rhyme author, orchestrate mind torture
Live performer, bit the mic sayanora
Borderline to insane, I rain firewater
Tape recorder, can't be saved by a court order
I got my sword cross your throat you joke"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Wu-Tang's "Hellz Wind Staff"

"Poisonous paragraphs, smash ya phonograph
in half, it be the Inspectah Deck on the warpath
First class leavin mics with a cast
Causin ruckus like the aftermath when guns blast
Run fast, here comes the verbal assaulta
Rhymes runnin wild like a child in a walker
I scored from the inner slums abroad
And my thoughts are razor sharp I sliced the mic from the cord
First they criticize, but now they have become
mentally paralyzed with hits that I devise
Now I testify, the rest is I, Rebel INS
Ya highness, blessed to electrify
with voltage of an eel, truth that I reveal'll
crush the amateurs who screamed to keep it real
Caesar black down hoodied up and fatigues
Part time minor leagues receive third degrees
Attack like a wolf pack, once I pull back
the God-U, and bust through like a fullback!"

- Inspetah Deck's verse from Raekwon's "Guillotine (Swordz)"

Those are just a few of his verses. Who else REALLY gives him the attention he deserves when listening to a Wu song? The biggest upset with INS is his solo material. I know Syns would disagree with me, but I don't like it a real lot and I don't think it's anywhere near the damage he could possibly do. He just seems like a different dude on most of his solo work.

peaaaaace!

liiiiiiinx

Inspectah Deck is one of my top 10 favorite MC's. Quite possibly the most underrated rapper to come out of NYC in the 1990's.

Meth and Ghost are the most popular, Raekwon had the best able, GZA is the best lyricist, and RZA obviously runs production, but I'll be damned if Deck isn't the best hip-hop artist out of all them. He can rap, he can produce, and he brings it harder than any other Wu member on the group albums, period. The only reason he's not the biggest name in the group is because he waited so long to drop his solo album.

Which reminds me.. linx, you didn't quote a single one of his solo works lol. That, IMO, just shows how good he is when you put him up against the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan--you quote a Wu-Tang joint, chances are you're quoting Deck. I'll do a couple solo joints for ya though.

I once asked God to forgive for my sins
Bent on my knees, pleadin' to be heavenly cleansed
Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
I was twelve at the time - held nines, held mines
A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
Then the older gods put me on, on how to rock this
Maintain three-sixty, Lord, and live prosperous
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
I'm mentally scarred, recuperatin' from abrasior
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
It's in my nature, I was taught that's the first law
Obtain the food, clothin' and the shelter that I search for
Fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
And hard times force crimes out of honest man
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
Son of man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
That it's time to take matters in our own hands

- Show N Prove

I represent myself in my own defense
Innocent by reason of no evidence
Plus they're tryin' pick the punishment, the judge insists
My fingerprints were traced back to six gun clips
Cop witness, who try and testify on my click
He on the payroll, that's why I got my prior dismissed
This is framework, somehow they got ahold of my flick
The night in question, I was restin' home with my chick
Then the spot was blown, cops closed in, shots were blown
I jetted out the lab with socks and boxers on
Undercover chased me down for three weeks
He seeks to interrogate like I might speak
But no, I won't tell ya who I work for
And no, I won't tell ya who the work's for
You can hit me with the book, brick, hammer and all
I'll dig a tunnel or just scale the jailhouse wall, your honor

- Framed

Kool G Rap rips that one too.



shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. classic

Correction, top 5 favorite

 

[Devious]

Deck is easily the best out of the Wu crew, he has so many dope verses it's almost impossible to choose the dopest one, at least other than the Triumph verse. i feel what you're sayin' linx, that verse still hits me years later. i'd put it in the top 5 verses of all time in hip hop.

I got the works, like a Burger deluxe, you heard it was us
Got You All in Check like Dirty and Bust'
Play dirty and rough, remain thirsty for bucks
Seein' dollar signs like today's the first of the month
Dunn, it hurts when I touch, veins burst off the verses I bust
Some wanna scuff, but ain't worthy enough
What? I burn you up rookie, just hang your jersey up
I'm on the east side, workin' out a Mercury truck
Seen me servin' up the uncut, that certainly crush
Murderous, first to bust, expert in the clutch
That's my word up, loose links, lurk in the cut
On the re-up, be sure to catch a third degree rush
Hands should be up up, I keep the cut, verbally plush
Keep a burnin' Dutch, heat tucked and burgundy chucks
Won't you turn it up, them wit the girlies, they lust
It's the dopeman, my jams run you thirty and up, it's the worst

Who Got It

Fake one, take one, no ultimatum face one
There's no escape from straight from the grain come the great one
My blade swung, decapitate your snake head
Slit your snake tongue make one false maneuver you a mystery
Unsolved, the mob that revolves automatically involved
Musclebound sounds surround commercial thugs
Rock turtledove bowery suits and purple gloves
Me and you can have some fun, make it a blast
You couldn't take the impact with steel shoulderpads
Blood for blood, Veteran, covered in mud
Wounded in the midst of war still tradin slugs gettin major love
Way above you newcomers, I come thunderin
With the heat of two summers when I enter the zone
Move mountains with the presence alone
Before the words rip through the microphone
Chrome dipped lyrics are known to split stone
You private eyes home in but can't seem to clone

Tres Leches

I leave scientists mentally scarred, triple extra large
Wild like rock stars who smash guitars
Poison bars from the Gods bust holes in your mirage
and catch a charge shake em down like the riot squad
Invade ya zone, ruin like ancient Rome
I span the universe and return to Earth to claim my throne
The maker, owner, plus soul controller
Ayatollah rest in the sky, the cloud's my sofa
Stand like Collossus, regardless to whom or what
Numerous attempts at my life, so who to trust
Who but us, to supply you with the fire?
The burning truth, 150 Absolut proof
On the mic like Moses spoke in golden scribe
Survivor of the oldest tribe whose soldiers died
I notified families, we shed tears and more
But our hands are on the ammo cause the battle's still on
Sound the horn, we come rumblin through the function
Precise laser beam technique to touch somethin
When we die hard, they build a monument to honor us with
Humungous, infectin the world, we could have conquered it

Above The Clouds

and of course who could forget the classic verse that made me, and i'm sure many others, Deck fans

I smoke on the mic like Smokin' Joe Frazier
The hellraiser, raisin' hell with the flavor
Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan
Swingin' thru your town like the neighborhood Spider-Man
So uh, tick tock and keep tickin'
While I get ya flippin' off the shit that I'm kickin
The Lone Ranger, code red, danger
Deep in the dark with the art to rip the charts apart
The vandal, too hot to handle
Ya battle, ya sayin' goodbye like Tevin Campbell
Roughneck, Inspectah Deck's on the set
The rebel, I make more noise than heavy metal

Protect Ya Neck

 

[THEV1LL4N]

well you already posted many of my fav verses. so heres another one that comes to my mind.

Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah
I come from the Shaolin slum, and the isle I'm from
is comin through with nuff niggaz, and nuff guns
so if you wanna come sweatin, stressin contestin
you'll catch a sharp sword to the midsection
Don't talk the talk, if you can't walk the walk
Phony niggaz are outlined in chalk
A man vexed, is what the projects made me
Rebel to the grain there's no way to barricade me
Steamrollin niggaz like a eighteen wheeler
with the drunk driver drivin, there's no survivin

Inspectah Deck's Verse in Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'

 

[Rahim]

i havnt heard most of his songs but i heard him on a pac song i forget which one but he sounds pretty dope tho

 

[AmerikazMost]

^ Was that a remix of some sort? Cause I've never heard Deack on a Pac joint before...


You know Deck's verse was taken off of the released version of "Got My Mind Made Up," right?

 

[Devious]

was the Dogg Pound version of that song ever released? cuz i'd like to hear Deck's verse on that shit.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Ah yes,Deck is one of my favourites.Great emcee.That verse in Triumph is among the best ever.I love his verse in Guillotine too.

 

[Seventy2Ouncez]

too tired to look for the accurate lyrics right now...but Shaolin Worldwide he has a crazy ass verse too

 

[Devious]

i think that's an oxymoron, accurate lyrics on the internet? not likely lol. i had to edit every verse i posted to get the right lyrics, none of the sites ever get em right (except the Protect Ya Neck verse, i typed that out from memory)

 

[ImmortalTech]

Deck definitely a talented emcee. But I was reading some Cilvaringz interview saying that he's an arrogant asshole though. Ofcourse Ringz didnt say it in those words, but whatever. His personality really doesnt have much to do with his abilities as an emcee.
