That inspecktah deck album getting flooded was the saddest lost to ever happen in hip hop debut history,i really wonder how amazing diamond jewels songs abd lyrics inspecktah deck unleashed on the debut album , fucket decks solo motion till this date , what a bad luck , hurt me more watching how it went down in the wutang series final episode the second season, if only rza had checked the basement earlier. 😔😔😔🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Yo great comment, loved watching the series. Deck is the most underrated in hip hop history! Don’t get me wrong I love Uncontrolled Substance, but that was 98. I know the one that got flooded had to have more of that 95-96 sound, and Deck was amazing in those days(he always was). Salute
