@@3rdeyefocused U DUMB FUK THERES NO COKE
Deck a true and living legend.
I think INS first verse on Triumph is one the doppest verses in Hip hop History
🎯🎯💯💯
Agree. 💯
💯
Facts
Definitely one of the best verses in Hip hop history. top 50. Not number one, too many insane verses in the history of hip hop (Kane, Rakim, Run DMC, Rappers Delight, The message, Pac, Big, Jay, Jada, KRS, Chuck D, Slick Rick, Dougie the list goes on). But definitely top 50.
"People Will Overlook The Book Bag For The Duffle Bag!!", -INS-
Right on
Big up to inspektah deck, Esso & Hynaken, INS definately one of the best Wu members lyrically and im glad he is still able to do his thing 👊🏿
DECK JUST GAVE ME SOME MO KNOWLEDGE FORREAL
am i the only person who realizes music has been free for 25 years?
Music isn’t free , maybe you aren’t paying for it but ppl are and yr enjoying a subsidy
@@lazerwolf001 what PERCENTAGE of music listened to daily in the US is purchased from behind a paywall? is youtube not free? the 90s was a gold rush for music , CD's were 20$ and people would buy at least 5 - 10 a month. music industry is down at least 90% since then prove me wrong.
Czarface is dope with Doom💥💥💥
Czarface is just dope 💥💥💥💪🏾
Super Facts 👌🏾
Y'all slippin. Czarface is that deal. They got tracks with Meth, Ghost and MF Doom. 💪🏾
These artist love to talk that independent mess after they’ve been with a major to build the foundation. Don’t let these dudes fool you. They maybe independent now, but they’ve already had millions of dollars in marketing for you to view them as celebrities. 💯
Facts
Thats a great point - something that cannot be overlooked
Ok, so!?....the majors are evil asswipes who use people up and discard them, so why is it a problem for them to USE the machine for the ONLY it has to offer?🤷🏾♂️
Facts lol
True! That’s why I always said, “Sign the shortest deal possible”! Use these mofos to get your buzz, then go on a two year hustle-thon. Beg for your release, then hitem with continuous heat!
One of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time
Best interviewer yall did
The biz plan is creative merchandising
And brand strategy
THE INSPECTAH DECK
"The Clouds is my Sofa"
Above the Clouds Sick {R.I.P Guru} Wu-Tang Gang Starr
It’s crazy they didn’t know czarface. The best wu member project of the last 10 15 years
Gratitude for sharing
The Czarface catalog has been amazing from the jump! If you're a supporter of the culture: ethnicity doesn't matter at all. Been a Czarface fan, Lice fan, Run the Jewels fan, Dilated Peoples fan, Swollen Members fan, CunningLynguists fan, Bad Meets Evil fan--all of them! Deck has always been low-key making moves away from the mic and dropping jewels on the mic; put some 'spect on that mans name.
Czarface is nice!
Basically he saying he had to break away from his brothers to really see some financial gain, that’s wild but that’s the game 🤔
No, he said it was never a money issue with him or beef with Rza about money. Watch the entire interview. He goes in on that.
How tf they don’t know about Czarface 🤦🏾♂️
What im saying ! I died laughing when they didn't know !!
Tell me esoteric don't sound like Jay z 😂😂
sum da illest bars ever herd
Love these convos 🎉
Ay Esso & Hynaken, keep doing your thing keep pushing forward. I definitely appreciate the positivity. God bless
Dope as always keep doing y’all thing.
It's crazy for me watching a lot of these hip hop platforms and realizing most of these dudes are not actually tapped in to hip hop culture in its ENTIRETY... SMH
How are they not familiar with the Czarface movement???
I understand everyone has their lane, but stuff you should know.
People working/writing/talking in those platforms have more pop knowledge than hip-hop knowledge.
Let's not forget that most rap music now is just the new pop music, so they talk about hip-hop but they should just say urban pop music or something like that.
Been waiting on this interview
Deck is lucid. Live clean folks.
Bingo!
Czarface is pretty popular tho, people know who they are
Czarface is dope! production is on point as well.
Wu Tang have always understood the music business as well as the business of music. There is a difference and that is why to this day not only are they still relevant but also profiting
Thanks for the info.
greeeeattt guest/god bless up kings
It's a cold game 🥶
Alive on arrival !!!
Great segment! Deck persona is very fly 👌🏽
"The bag comes in different forms" 💎💎💎
"The world is shifty, we living just enough for the city
The rough witty Killa Bee sting just like the jiggy
My Family Stone, foes attempt to gradually clone
Labelled MIA and I send the casualties home
In closed coffins, Wu storming like the light brigade
Ride the wave like Frankie Avalon inside the cyber age
Crime pays, the law's long arm be tryna strong arm
Walking time-bombs that thrive on firearms
The charm smoker, I hit the dread with a poster
We told 'em to show him love and exposed the black toaster"- INS
So much game!!! Theres multiples bags to get in this biz 💯💯💎💎
💯 Ghostface Killah Scar Tissue ft Nas 🔥✍🏽 🔥✍🏽 real rap is back. Inspectah Deck or Gza for the Remix🫡Wu Tang Forever
Inspectah Deck dropped some valuable jewels here about the music industry. No one is going to do for you like you can for you in this industry. It's better to fail on your own than fail in the hands of someone else.
Deck is a underrated GOAT💯🔥
Wu Tang forever ♾️💟💜
Ayo some of those czarface projects were classics
Bros need 2 check 4 that underground
that's why he's making records with esoteric cuz esoteric puts the bag up
Props for interviewing one of the best lyricists of all time.
Respect ✊ to you good men and brothers I love the show and I appreciate all the free game and how you good men represent us and our culture respect ✊
Tamba applauds inspectek dek true sentences.
How did they interview Inspectah Deck but barely knew anything about Inspectah Deck? As a matter of fact, lets say Deck wasnt part of the group. How can they consider themselves middle age hip hop fans or journalist and don't know about 7L & Esoteric?
The baddest mc alive
Thats a good living off of music.
Legend
7:28 “we try to think of the flyest shit to say everyday” 🤣🤣🤣 pimp shit
💯💯💯
Thank y’all for this one. 🫡 to The Rebel INS. I forged my pen off you and RIP Prodigy energy. 💯🙌🏾
Czarface FTW - "Heads nod pressure on ya neck like a DDT..."
80/20 deal: similar to what Money Man has over at Empire. I believe Drake current deal at UMG is 75/25 which is phenomenal for a major artist
Somebody finally said it
✊🏾🙏🏾✊🏾
🔥
Facts
Deck drop The Resident Patient on streaming platforms! I own the album but I’d rather have it all in one place
NO DOUBT! Out the trunk has always been a better move than being a slave to a record label having to pay back advances and risking having your projects shelved. As well as giving up a large portion of your earnings after the advance is paid back.
Yo Leon from Curb Your Enthusiasm is a guest 😂🔥🔥....JK S/O to the Rebel INS 🎤
Stay independent
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Peace to the God 7
WHOAAA WAIT, Esso yall aint never heard of Czarface!?! I GOT the action figure from Super 7 LMAO
Internet is spooky just saw something about Scarface supergroup the other day lol
Record label contracts are played out
Nothing but the truth in this clip !!!
Czarface 🔥
DECK🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
50K x $10= $500,00 First you have to sell 50K THEN subtract the cost of making the album, marketing costs, promo, travel, expenses, flights and staff. That's the REAL indie business. Handling all aspects with the money that comes in.
This is what NIPSEY HUSSEL was talmbout
What records it's a digital store people stopped buying records since Apple tricked the labels to putting thie music on iTunes that was over 20 years ago
This is hilarious. Why no artist ever read their own damn contract?
Just being dumb
Yo how the hell are you guys gonna have Deck on the podcast and no nothing about Czarface??? This is more proof on my theory on how dudes in the industry don’t know a fraction of what the average hip hop fan knows when it comes to this culture. Y’all got Deck on the show and know nothing about his new music?? Embarrassing!
They mentioned czarface in the previous clip
@@rigzcarr8452 they were surprised in this clip when Deck mentioned it. They were clueless in this clip which tells me the clip you saw most likely happened later in the interview.
I had no idea he started Czarface damn
Czarface is the shit✊🏿
im only here for the Rebel INS, thats it
If only someone told famous dex before meeting rich da kidd
Rappers dont sell "units" anymore. Streams and downloads, is how you get your bread now. 1/3 of a penny
Math out loud is hard..... But the man is telling you that if you build it, the audience will show up.
Did these guys really not know about Czarface 🤔
Best Hip Hop Group of All Time is Run DMC but WuTang Clan is probably the next best group ever
I n d e p e n d e n t do you know what that mean
Correction, 500k.
Ya'll even kept 50k in the tumbnail like you knew a simple math mistake would accumulate views lmao
500k is a half million dollars
@@isaiahwinbrone Exactly what I am saying. 500k is half of a million. Deck said 50k is half a mill. And the video editor kept it in the thumbnail is my point lol.
50k is not a half a million dollars
People buy they own records or make it look like that so cats pay attention
Independent is always the way to maximize earnings potential and in your merch tutorials sponsorship and you in your money 💰 💰💰💰!!.. Stop relying on the The Slave master to give you a sandwich.. when you can open your own bakery!!
CZARFACE goes hard! No Drizzy .. Especially that Album with MF DOOM..
No Drizzy😭😅
I guess it boils down to ego. Can you humble yourself and take 35,000 downloads for the year but keep 100% of your publishing rights royalties mechanicals and make out with a nice bag off one song?
31,000 units streamed is not $310,000! Let’s not lie to the ppl
He's talking about downloads.
He’s talking about people buying it …..not streaming
@@Ilovechicago100 nobody bought ross & meek albums… Esso said $31,000 independent made them $310,000! Not true. However much streams it did equaled up to 31,000 units sold! Keep in mind one stream equals a half of penny
Deck don't have to lie about this. I did the simple math. 31,000 x $10 a pop is $310,000. He can get that everyday if he wants to. You on the other hand yo will catch the bends. 🏌️
These cats need to let the artist talk more they jump in and cut them off too much. Keeping it real, and no disrespect . I'm not here to hear them talk I'm here for the artists
This doesn’t work in the streaming world
The math doesn’t add up.
The devil can't create anything.
Deck splits his deal 80/20 and gets the 20??? Dude could get a way better indie deak
I believe he said that he gets the 80 and they get the 20
@@derekfraser9338 Nah, man. He said he makes Half a million but earns 375k. Thats as bad as some major deals.
@ltopomcfly5583 oohhhh I get you now....😳🤯
@@ltopomcfly5583Distro deals always around 20% to the distributor. Some deals could be more or less, especially if other label services attached to the deal. An album sale conventionally generates $10 per unit sold. Selling 50k generates $500k revenue. When he said $375K profit, I’m guessing that’s after distro and after any other fees owed
@@ltopomcfly5583bruh 500k to 375k aint crazy.
Go back to the trunk...it's your trunk...
