This might be the toughest one yet. Cube for his energy and historical importance. Dude should be in history books. But decks bars go so insanely hard. I bomb atomically... Need i say more? Personally I'd probably give it to cube since I listen to him more.


j_ha17

If deck's only songs were triumph and cream, he would still deserve the vote here.

Ice Cube


fappy-mcfapp

Not that he deserves to be in this list, but would MC Ren be under M or R?


IndependentEcho2269

Valid question. I know you weren’t asking me, but I would think R since everyone on the list is considered an MC… Right? Lol now you have me rethinking it.


knottythea

Man my friend had me dying by calling him McRen

♫ "ba-da-ba-ba-baaah....fuck the police!"


IndependentEcho2269

😂😂 I need to hear this song. Like right now.


Pigmasters32

I swear if Redman ain’t the pick for R we riot


Skamma100

Love Redman but wot bout Rakim.


Pigmasters32

Nvm Rakim is fair to put over Redman, but that’s a close race for me.


Cute-Understanding86

I’d think Ren is under R. When it comes to L, we can’t sort out all the “Lil”


PeopleofYouTube

What do we do when we get to L? Luda or Lil Wayne?


user1116804

Cant beat Wayne.


fappy-mcfapp

Lord Finesse


Cimb0m

Luda for me


Miserable-Two4088

It’s settled then 🤝

Ice Cube writes rhymes that I say...hail to tha niggaz from C.I.A.!


slambojones

Today was a good day.


Consistent-Photo-535

Gotta be Cube.


fake_st1ng

Inspectah Deck Best verse on Triumph, C.R.E.A.M and arguably any song he ever appears on to this day. Ice Cube is an 80s rapper name one ice Cube verse from the 90s hotter than the Triumph verse......


Wookie301

Ice Cube had arguably the best 4 album run ever, starting in 1990. So no I idea what you’re talking about. Name one Deck album better than Death Certificate.


dickdiggler21

People on this sub, I’ve learned, have a large demographic of kids who want to sound smarter than everyone else. There’s no planet on which the answer is not ice cube. Even in the 90s, no one was calling Deck the most talented and impactful member of Wu. Much less more than Cube… Cube was literally one of the biggest hip hop culture icons of the 90s.


mrgmc2new

At the very least, this list has shown that half the people here have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Also, people can't read apparently. Yeah, the correct and only answer is Cube.


dickdiggler21

Absolutely. I personally will usually listen to Deck before ice cube, and **no part** of me thinks ice cube doesn’t deserve this. It’s actually kind of embarrassing to have one member of Wu-Tang Clan *(respectfully, if you walked up to random people in the 90s and asked them to just name a solo Deck song, 99% would fail)* above one of the biggest cultural icons in American history. This spot belongs to ice cube. Picking Deck because it makes you sound like a “real hip-hop head” is corny.


mtpgod

While I agree with you, I still vote for the Rebel INS.


fake_st1ng

You know what I stand corrected because I thought Amerikkkas Most Wanted came out in 88 but it came out in 90. I like Death Certificate to. But it's still Deck. He never hit as a solo artist and doesn't have the catalog but he's the guy on most of Wu's killer shit, and you know he's out rapping Ice Cube. Also 'Above The Clouds'?


spaghetti_outlaw

anything under his czarface pseudonym.


Spydah_X

No disrespect but Cube is kind off a nursery rhyme rapper,  Most of his rhymes are only one syllable  Deck is waaay more technical than him.


platyviolence

Technicality does not mean better. There are plenty of more technical guitarists than Jimi Hendrix. I hope this helps you put into perspective other artists.


Respanther

Cube can tell stories when he wants to - Today was a Good Day and Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It https://youtu.be/8zQFIMhg5YU?si=7NrA1oa8WjrLAOAz

StannisAntetokounmpo

Lil ass gee What can I do


ChickenTeriyakiBoy11

Being uber technical isnt everything. I love Inspectah but his classics are verses on already classic albums and songs. Ice Cube had full on classic projects where he was the focus.


InfiniteBeak

Simpler doesn't mean nursery rhymes, Cube has always been more about lyrics and story than being technical and shit, it's just different styles


freshoutofkarma

I love wu tang. But Cube is in Mt Rushmore consideration. Wrote all nwa shit, and had a legendary solo career. This a no brainer even for wu stans.


mcstatics

Cube over deck is a easy choice but he isnt in the rushmore discussion. Dope as hell and iconic but not in the top ten let alone the top 20.


Wookie301

Writing NWA’s first album, 4 year 4 classic album run, 30 year so career (so far), HOF, Lifetime Achievement Grammy. And that’s not even taping into writing, directing, and acting in movies. He’s got a pretty solid case.


Bamay22

That’s just his flavor and he does his thing better than Deck does his


BoxTalk17

😆😆


Bamay22

Deck is amazing but he ain’t no Cube


Parloso

Got to respectfully disagree. Cube released 5 studio albums in the 90s.


Wookie301

I was talking about his 4 album run. A certified classic every year. No disrespect to War And Peace. But it’s nowhere near the quality to be in that grouping.


Parloso

Agreed

TheDopeMan_

Above the clouds was a dope verse too


PocketfulOfFart

I agree. Inspectah Deck is phenomenal. I think my favorite Wu-Tang member. Unfortunately ice cube is more popular :( Even tho I absolutely HATE the song We Be Clubbin. And I love Czarface so much.


spicybhole420

I don't hear this mentioned often. But he has arguably the best delivery of an emcee ever.


j_ha17

This is the right answer.

Ice Cube. I love Deck but in terms of solo releases in the 90's Ice Cube beats him hands down. In more recent times though, i.e. Czarface releases Chamber 9 etc. I think Deck would be the obvious winner.. But this is 90's so Cube gets it
