Gza mentions Inspecta Decks debut in this early interview

[Crumple]

respect OP

album no doubt would have been up there with Purple Tape and Liquid Swords

No doubt. I saw Gza mention it and got inspired because of the whole aura over that album.

This is the best idea we'll have at what a Deck solo circa 95 would've sounded like

So fire

Props, never heard this version before.

I have said this 100 times and you can tell in Decks interviews when talking on that album he looks depressed like he lost a big part of his life... In reality it altered his career as you said and not for the better. We got Uncontrolled years later and it was cool but if he releases this album that he lost in 95 he gets his platinum plaque and his classic we talk about like Liquid Swords, Linx and Ironman etc., to this day, it would be another classic added to the Wu solos during that run.
It definitely would have gone Gold! Cuban Linx, Swords and Ironman all eventually went platinum! It took a few years but they got the certs. I know Decks would have went the same route, that ruined his career and I will say that to this day. We missed out on a gem, still sucks to this day speaking on it.

Someone said it best in the comments on a video (youtube Deck video talking on the flood)
"The infamous lost Deck solo debut is one of the biggest what ifs in hip hop history with the DOC"

I wonder if they still have the floppy discs w/ the OG Deck album, and if so, could modern technology pull data off of them?

Why you post this shyt

We lost out on hiphop history

Alternate reality where cap, sunz, killarmy, shyheim dont exist and deck was up next. The synths on run fit this theme like a glove.


It should have been deck between tical and return between the 2 stars. Thats what this reminds me of.

I believe Deck said he tried taking his disks to computer places BITD and they were beyond salvaging. He was using an EPS 16+ IIRC and those Ensoniq samplers have their own file format different to any Windows or Mac so that's a whole other factor. Add 30 years of decay and I think those joints are all gone breh

Thank you. I saw the film when it dropped but still didn't hear the whole soundtrack.

Going to check it. Thank you!

My favorite soundtracks, so many bangers

Govt can pull data from burnt fragments. It can be done.

They brought it to a company early ala on the show. Deck said he still had them and tried. They have shyt on them from the pipes blowing in the house. So its not just water famage. Its all types of stuff that ruined em.
