Inspectah Deck
“I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses / Can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries.”
Whenever Wu-Tang Clan needed an opening verse to immortalize a posse cut—'Triumph', 'Protect Ya Neck', 'Guillotine (Swordz)', 'Above the Clouds'—they handed the baton to Inspectah Deck. His opening sixteen on 'Triumph' is widely studied as the most famous lead-off verse in hip-hop history.
