Yes- I've always felt this way. When asked to list my favorite Wu emcees, I always hesitate, because I known Inspectah Deck would be in the top 3 if only he had more material, and had been given as much spotlight time as the others on the first record.
He's an insanely good emcee. Remember when's we had that underrated artists thread? First thing that came to mind was Deck, and all y'all agreed.
Have you, by any chance, listened to CZARFACE? It's Deck with 7L & Esoteric; they dropped a dope album a year or so back that I found out about embarrassingly late.
I fully agree that Deck is underutilized. As much as I love Meth's cadence and presence, and as much as his voice defines the Wu sound, I would have rather seen a first wave Deck release than Tical. Inspectah Deck is the superior emcee, and all he lacked was star power.
