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.
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. 💯

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.
Gratitude for sharing
It’s crazy they didn’t know czarface. The best wu member project of the last 10 15 years

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.

all facts.. they tricked everyone into thinking its free too. Thats why the streaming system is still in play cause of how they set it up. They know older heads don’t got the time to go to stores and sit with albums anymore they git wirk and famailesn They know many of the yung heads are clueless to the history of music and retail and fron the gate think music is and should be free cwuse whats $10-$15 a month to stream on a dsp. What they don’t realize though is that shit is gona fizzle out sooner than later. And even if not totally you won’t find all your fav artists on there anymore. Shits about to flip.

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?
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

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.
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 ✊
Thats a good living off of music.
Deck is a underrated GOAT💯🔥
Great segment! Deck persona is very fly 👌🏽
Props for interviewing one of the best lyricists of all time.
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
Wu Tang forever ♾️💟💜
Tamba applauds inspectek dek true sentences.
Deck drop The Resident Patient on streaming platforms! I own the album but I’d rather have it all in one place
WHOAAA WAIT, Esso yall aint never heard of Czarface!?! I GOT the action figure from Super 7 LMAO
The baddest mc alive
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

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!

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.
Somebody finally said it

I had no idea he started Czarface damn
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.
Did these guys really not know about Czarface 🤔
Rappers dont sell "units" anymore. Streams and downloads, is how you get your bread now. 1/3 of a penny
If only someone told famous dex before meeting rich da kidd
im only here for the Rebel INS, thats it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Czarface is the shit✊🏿
I n d e p e n d e n t do you know what that mean
People buy they own records or make it look like that so cats pay attention
Math out loud is hard..... But the man is telling you that if you build it, the audience will show up.
Best Hip Hop Group of All Time is Run DMC but WuTang Clan is probably the next best group ever
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!!
