Inspectah Deck has written some of the rap music lines that I use most often in my life, from the classic survival song ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ to my spaceship anthem ‘Triumph’, Deck isn’t the face that you see when you think of the Wu-Tang Clan but he is backbone that the Clan uses to stand tall.
Inspectah Deck’s latest album ‘Manifesto’ drops tomorrow March 23rd, 2010. Rebel I.N.S. gave me a few minutes to tell me about this project and let me quote some of his rhymes to him while we chilled in the New Era store.
The ‘Lo-End Theory is more than simply a bunch of fanboys swapping and selling their vintage gear. It’s an honest celebration of everything that is Hip-Hop. The aspiration through apparel. The underground artists who bring flair and flavor to the scene. The lifestyle of living life lavishly in your own way.
Thirstin’ Howl 3rd opens this video with a montage of 40 Deuce flicks. The Deuce was NYC’s ave for hardbody stunting. Not just NYC but the tri-state area. If you wanted to be seen on the scene in the 1980’s you had to come on the Deuce. I wouldn’t come alone if I were you tho’ because the wolfpacks are mossied up looking for meat.
I’m gonna release more of this Inspectah Deck interview over at iHipHop.com, but I thought I would put a little bit of it out there now to coincide with the NCAA tournament in the opening weekend of March Madness.
