    One of the greatest rap songs of all time. Man it makes me angry sometimes the WU didn’t continue to drop albums. They were the greatest rap group of all time hands down. But happy we got everything we did. Look at inspectah deck, one of the best Lyricists of all time. Never made what he should have in his career, never got the notoriety he should have. That shit makes me mad.

      If Deck had a full RZA produced album it prob would have been up there with L/Swords, Cuban Links and Return to 36 but the real ones still pay homage to the Rebel INS
