Favorite Hip-Hop Verses (X+4)
By Avery | February 25, 2008
One of these days, I’m gonna do an all-time posse cut post, with each participant listed based on his optimum position. When I do, there’s no question who’s gonna be first. It’s gonna be Inspectah Deck. I don’t think there’s ever been a better lead-off than Deck, unless you count Rickey Henderson. And that’s a maybe. But of all his great leads, my favorite (although probably not his best) is the one on Guillotine (Swordz) on Raekwon’s classic, Only Built for Cuban Links.
[Verse One: Inspectah Deck a.k.a. Rebel INS]
Poisonous paragraphs, smash ya phonograph
in half, it be the Inspectah Deck on the warpath
First class leavin mics with a cast
Causin ruckus like the aftermath when guns blast
Run fast, here comes the verbal assaulta
Rhymes runnin wild like a child in a walker
I scored from the inner slums abroad
And my thoughts are razor sharp I sliced the mic from the cord
First they criticize, but now they have become
mentally paralyzed with hits that I devise
Now I testify, the rest is I, Rebel INS
Ya highness, blessed to electrify
with voltage of an eel, truth that I reveal’ll
crush the amateurs who screamed to keep it real
Caesar black down hoodied up and fatigues
Part time minor leagues receive third degrees
Attack like a wolf pack, once I pull back
the God-U, and bust through like a fullback
