Inspectah Deck better producer than RZA??

[REAL6]

Same can be said for Pharoahe Monch or Fizzy Womack aka Lil' Fame

I just wish we could've heard what RZA lost in that fire

 

[TheDarceKnight]

not close, but he did a great job on his debut. Spazzola for Meth, Beneath the Surface for GZA, Deck was dope on the boards

Exactly. This was a fire beat from Deck as well. Meth really stood out on Forever, and this was one of his best verses on there too.

Could have easily just made a Deck appreciation thread without making yourself look like an absolute idiot

Deck is a good producer, but needed more projects to solidify his status..

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Deck got some joints, no question. But doesn't that sum it up? Deck got some joints...while RZA got entire albums and catalogs worth of classic beats.

Exactly. And yes I'm about to derail the thread a bit but did you know Deck's verse on Triumph was something he already spit for a Tony Touch mixtape? I just found that out this weekend.
He thought the cadence matched up with the strings on the Triumph beat so asked Tony Touch if he could use it for the Forever album.

I don't think this hot take is too crazy, but you can easily argue Deck has the 2 of the top 5 most memorable Wu verses of all time. (Triumph and Cream).

Here's the OG Triumph verse.

They're both fire...but better than RZA?

RZA is mad trash now

Yeah, he fell off, but he produced 3 albums that not only are classic but are some of the greatest albums in hip-hop and maybe all of music history. Then fully produced another 3 albums that range from 4.5 to 4 mics. And then capped it off on Forever by doing at least a dozen beats on there, some which are his best.

RZA directly influenced a generation of producers. Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Alchemist (to name just a few) have all cited RZA as a massive influence.

he fell off but his body of work in his prime is so influential and so bulletproof that I think you can't compare random loosies that Deck produced that even though they're good, can't compare. Deck also never fully produced any album that I'm aware of, and you can't be better than RZA if you've never produced a full album.

Nah nah never that. I'm just mentioning them.
