Who had the best verse on C.R.E.A.M., Raekwon or Inspectah Deck?

[ThirdAct]

I feel like Rae's is more vivid but Deck's hits in the gut more...I'm gonna call it a tie

 

[semicko82]

Deck technically had a better verse, but Rae verse is more iconic.
Rae's verse is what made him a star

 

[get these nets]

 

[Awesome Wells]

I think Rae's verse is more classic and iconic.

Deck's verse is the best of his career though.

This might be a tie.

 

[Mandizi]

Just bumped that for the first in a minute.

Both dropped classic verses, but I gotta give Deck the slight edge.

An all-time great hip hop record.

 

[Mike Ock]

Love 'em both, but that "cracks and weed, the combination made my eyes bleed" line always stuck out to me.

Both delivered perfectly.

 

[King Poetic]

Deck

 

[boogers]

deck but its damn close! i dont wanna choose!!

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Really can't call it

top 3 all time song

 

[Supa]

Y'all must be on cracks and weed thinking Rae had the better verse

Rae just laid things out in a basic way but Deck filled in the blanks. He went from despair to hope and and back to despair. He told a more detailed story with emotion behind it .

Handcuffed in back of a bus
40 of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
But as the world turned I learned life was hell
Living in a world no different from a cell
Everyday escape from Jakes giving chase
Selling base, smoking bones in the staircase

Rae wasn't spitting anything that detailed. GTFOH

Point deducted from both verses for saying "young youth" though
