@dj qb 🤔 but he bombed atomically, with Socrates philosophies and hypothesis..
You know he sent cats back to the lab with that one...

Man..... what about “Guillotine” on the Purple Tape?
“Above the Clouds” with GURU..
Deck is nice.

His entire album was a remake cause RZA crib got flooded with his original tapes..
Word is it was classic...

@firstofall1078

What constitutes someone being underrated? The lack of fame, glory,and riches? Hardly. To my knowledge, most everyone who's opinion is worth anything puts Deck in their top 10 ALL TIME emcees. That's hardly what I call underrated. My rating system is simple. I weigh a person's actual talent and contributions against the praise and recognition shown them. Who in the Wu has consistently shown up, delivered strong verses and been flexible, adaptable, and compatible over the course of their almost 30 years? Who has had enough major success and been integral in putting Wu on the map not only on street cred clout but also with lyrical dexterity? Who's done all these things but is constantly left out of conversations regarding either the best or the most unsung, thus making him the most underrated in the Wu? Raekwon.

@firstofall1078

@Chet Muggins I guess I'm just around a lot of people who like to say Decks name. I think hes really good , definitely top tier in the wu, and I wish he had got a proper debut album but i still dont consider him underrated, not with so many people testifying for him. Now you know who's really underrated among the clan affiliates who rips it EVERY time I hear him? Killa Sin.

@dj qb I did and do, actually, there is no inconsistency, a lot of modern and not that modern hip hop artists are quite good. Skepta, Stormzy, The Streets, Kojey Radical, Dizzee Rascal, Context, God Colony`s artists, Ram (from Russia), they all have something massive to show, but GZA`s album is still the bestest in my top, the reference from the (36) chamber of weights and measures. I appreciate your oppinion and I`m glad to know that there are big wave of rappers on a scene who wouldn`t let hip hop become a music for old farts.
