“RZA NEVER ROBBED ME‼️” : Inspectah Deck Opens Up About Losing His 1st Album

if the flood neva happened

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

fukk those fukking floods.

Guaranteed Deck's lost album was going to be an instant classic...probably some sort of darker vibes like Liquid Swords with aspects of Ironman mixed in.

It would be hilarious if there was a secret copy of the og uncontrolled substance floppy disc drive somewhere that emerged.

They always bring up the flood. But that's an excuse. And not a good one.

Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Premier, Erick Sermon, etc, have all had floods and fires, and rebuilt and made classic sh*t.

None of that is gonna stop you from being able to cook up a classic, if you're one of the greats. Mef claims his original version of Tical was "the one", as an excuse for why the retail sounded rushed and didn't live up to expectations. But then went on to make another 6 weak albums. So I'm not sure the flood sh*t is even true.

I think RZA comes up with the flood thing whenever people don’t like the music that comes out. HAHA! He said there was a flood in '94, but that he had all the group and solo albums done. But then he said that he lost 300 beats and "everything" in it. But then that would include OB4CL, Liquid Swords, Dirty's album, Ironman, etc. Then he said he had ANOTHER flood after Forever.

So it seems like whenever the music isn't good, RZA just had a flood right before that.

I feel like they went in too much on why substance only went gold.

The flood happened. Yes, it could have been a first Wu sound.

A disappointment. But Deck did what he was supposed to. He made and went for his new goals. The power of God show and prove video and track was classic.

It would be hilarious glorious if there was a secret copy of the og uncontrolled substance floppy disc drive somewhere that emerged.

You'd think now, 30 years later that the technology we have would be able to extract something from that disc drive. I'd have never thrown it out and kept hope alive if I was Deck.

There are only 2 RZA beats on Substance. And a third RZA collab.

I didn't hear the others. That one sounds like only keyboard no sample main melodies

What's stopping RZA from making a whole Deck album now?

fukk sample clearance. Have it leaked.

Or pay for the samples and still profit.

Steps
1.Rza uses only break beats
2. RZA picks only Of Wu era samples up to the 70s.
3. No keyboard main melodies
4. All Wu members
5. Cool photos and album art

I'm in no way a person to say what they should do.

I'm just saying it's possible.

I'm hoping RZA got some ish still in the vault from 93-98 that he's going to drop some day. I'd rather hear whatever unreleased ish there is from their prime tbh.

Nah people forget it was not just one but TWO floods that fukked up a bunch of music RZA had for the crew.

Besides 93-98 RZA was THE best producer in the game (thats right i said it) so if he says the flood fukked up his shyt then the flood fukked up his shyt. Who are we to question what EVERY Wu member has corroborated as fact?

It's not just the flood, it's the timing as well. Some moments can't be recaptured. What happened in that moment could've been magical, and trying to mimic it probably didn't work. You hear artists trying to remake their own song with the same formula all if the time, and it doesn't work

Deck said that RZA wasn't in that same space during the time after. He also said that he became angry. No matter what, those are two combinations that don't mesh.

However, I do think they can do it if they really lock in...on some mature, grown man Deck type vibe. But they both have to be committed.

I said that in my post.

You didn't see it?

I’ve been saying that 3000 years from now, people will major struggle to read from a computer floppy disk compared to just open a book or read a newspaper .

You'd think now, 30 years later that the technology we have would be able to extract something from that disc drive. I'd have never thrown it out and kept hope alive if I was Deck.
