I cannot get over Ghost’s verse

“Not long is how long that this rhyme took me”

The funny part is that it took him days. All the other clan members had their parts done and Ghost was taking forever.

If it wasn't core Clan, could have been Mook/Power/Divine...

they weren’t super popular yet at the time…it was just before the first album dropped…I remember deck cuz of his height and him being a weird looking dude…and I remember dirty cuz of the hair…I can’t remember if the 3rd person was a core member or not…or maybe it was just u-god

I think seeing their faces so much after would jog the memory so it's more likely it was one of the management people.

U-God too? basically only set up the "suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Even that is iconic

Gza had the best verse

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Deck, Rae & GZA had the best verses

Deck's had the most energy, Rae's was the hardest, GZA's was the best

Still remember how I was the first time I heard this song like "yoooo wtf is THIS?!?"

You can literally take any one of the verses, make an argument for it being the best and you would be right

it's the RZA for me flow, cadence, delivery, everything

I remember hearing Protect Ya Neck for the first time as a kid and I was on some WHOAAAAAAAAAAA these nikkas crazy halfway through the track but RZA's verse blew my fukking mind when that mf said FLOWIN LIKE CHRIST WHEN I SPITS THE GOSPEL man I was sold

really bummed me out later when I found out RZA wasn't that good of a rapper but goddamn he tore that track to shreds

Not U God. That nikka was spitting straight dook.
