Set off MC is the perfect title for Inspectah. He really just throws his voice like a knife cutting the beat out there. His verses just set the whole fucking tone and vibe of any song.
If there was a gang initiation he will be the first to say something and set shit off...if there was a party, game, or big event he would be the 🎉 starter, game point guard, big announcer to set the stage off
@@j2323j No ofoucrse, theres many dope ones, I did not say its the only one. From the Symphony to John Blaze, many classics. I just dont see many or any beating Protect Ya Neck or even Triumph
I can tell you guys...You had to be there back in the 90's especially on Staten Island when protect Ya Neck/ Method Man dropped throughout Staten..We heard these joints before radio played it! Man countless of Rap battles from different hoods! Classic....
I can tell you a Staten head...did you see these guys on the actual street warring or at the park battling..and do they still come around...cause I know they come back to hood to do something special for park hill and Stapleton
You can't imagine how much i envy those who experienced it. But what i regret most is not having experienced the release of Wu-Tang Forever. How awesome that must have been after all the hype and waiting to hear "Reunited" for the first time. "...We must expand, get more pupils, So that the knowledge will spread..." The Beat drops, and GZA starts: "REUNITED..." Goosebumps everytime i hear this
This season of Wu-Tang has had me playing 36 Chambers on repeat. Now I’m watching this docuseries about the album on TH-cam. Way to keep the Wu alive for the old heads and bring them to life for newer generations. Much respect gentlemen. Wu-Tang forever 👐🏾
So whassup, man? Coolin', man Chillin' chilin'? Yo, you know I had to call, you know why right? Why? Because, yo, I never ever call and ask you to play somethin', right? Yeah You know what I wanna hear, right? Whatchu wanna hear? I wanna hear that Wu-Tang joint Wu-Tang again? Ah, yeah, again and again
For us who appreciate real penmanship, Deck is up there and I feel he doesn't get the credit and recognition that he deserves. As for the first album in general, what blows my mind is that such a masterpiece was created with very analog technology as far as today's standards go. Just goes to show the power of true talent and raw innovative creativity.
How doesnt he get enough credit..and how doesnt he get the recignition he deserves? Can you give a straight answer. Cause the whole 'this person is underrated' thing is the most cliché sentence uttered by idiots. Deck is part of one of the most famous rap groups ever. And almost every hiphop head knows his lyrics. What moooore do u want.. Tired of the idol worshiping empty stamements. We all dig Deck here.. the man dont need your tongue up his a§§. Also..99.9 % of all masterpieces ever made ..were made with 'analogue' gear. And im not referring to (just)hiphop. Its creates better sound and instead of downloading a sample pack or all hop on the same track on youtube..it helps to be in your own zone..authenticity. Damn..yall idiots need to.start thinking before typing. I have wasted a minute schooling your dumb a§§.

Rza was a genius with hip hop and marketing. He knew Deck or Ghost opened, Raekwon or Gza closed and Meth either sung the hook or was featured in the middle to grab the girls. It’s a formula and it worked perfectly

0:32 when he shouts later NR ONE SET OFF MC IN THE GAME ! WU TANG CLAN COMING AT YA!!!! and when the beats came up seriously. the hardest gooseflesh in my life!
Protect Ya Neck ist der beste Hip Hop Track aller Zeiten! Ein Meilenstein der Musik Geschichte. Dieser Track ist so dope, das Mann aufpassen muss nicht von der Polizei erwischt zu werden!
One of the most epics, and greatest collaboration of MC's in my generation to date. I pump this sh** on my audio system almost at full volume. From Inspectah, The Chef, Meth, U-God, ODB, Tony Starks, Rzarektah and The Jizah. 💯💯🤙
I remember the first time I seen this video, Ralph McDaniels put it on Video Music Box and said here's a new video from a group called The Wu-Tang Clan. I said "what? Not another group with this Chinese theme" because Fu-Schnickens were already out. You swords and then Deck jumped on and once he said "swing through your hood like your neighborhood Spider-Man" that was it, I was a fan 🤣🤣 I also remember thinking how many mfs they got?!! It was long but not tiring. Being shot in black and white with how grimy it was made not only the song but also the video a classic!!!
I am 41 years cold....and I remember hearing this song in my when I was 12 years old....this song set me on my path of loving rap music. Wu tang is like the Beatles of rap. There will never be anything like them again, their albums are classics and their style is unparalleled. My only regret is that we will never hear that unreleased album bc the samples sound like the original wu sound that rap has been missing
They are from my town, Bakersfield. Loved seeing them move away and do big things on the radio. When I moved to LA after high school, I listened to their shows all the time.
@@kristopherevans6283 Yep yep Bakaboyz Still Worldwide. Great Radio personalities. Can't Wait till they give the Hollywood Star and induct them radio hall of Fame.
This was my first tape of Wu Tang my mom got it at the Jack The Rapper Conference ATL 93 on one side protect your neck the other Method Man…. AGAIN AN’ AGAIN!!!! l loved this song
13 years old when 36 chambers released. I was a metal head, and still am, but when I heard this, my jaw dropped like yo. That was the night everything changed. 😆
Most things that involve multiple entities that are huge successes involve friendly competition. Iron sharpens iron. NFL, music school, bebop jazz, etc.
The Wu is no doubt true Hip-Hop. However even deeper than that, y’all provided the template for a people to excel beyond the infighting that still holds back so many of the original people in the western hemisphere that are descendants of the the organic diaspora.
With the boom of the internet the music industry changed for the worst. Before not everyone had that drive it took to make it as a musician, the grind of selling ur indie music out of ur car and at festivals, and actually hustling to get ur music played. Now anyone with garage band and internet is releasing music, making videos portraying a life of luxury
Protect Ya Neck is a fuckin masterpiece, that joint right there made me a true hardcore Wu-Tang Clan fan
Me 2
Facts. It’s too lit!
Untouchable 3 decades later

That's so true about Inspekta Dek. TRIUMPH is one of the best first verses ever to me
Triumph went hard deck the man
"I bomb atomically..." Amazing.
1. Deck
2. Ghost
3.Chef
My top 3 in that Clan.
No other group, no other mcs will ever make a jawn like Protect Ya Neck, its impossible
Not even if they want too. But the lady wu did a badass job covering the song tho.
I beg to differ

GZA is a lyrical genius; Wu’s God-gifted universally. Blessings & Peace
@2:56 the ending of episode 7
You can tell that moment is something RZA would never forget
Inspectah and GZA, they both spit hard af !
This song is the greatest point in hip hop history. it never got better than this
this isn’t even their best song.
@@Zack29810 what’s their best song ?
Rza was a genius with hip hop and marketing. He knew Deck or Ghost opened, Raekwon or Gza closed and Meth either sung the hook or was featured in the middle to grab the girls. It’s a formula and it worked perfectly
Should just release the whole thing instead of episodes I need more of these interviews wow
Deck has had constant amazing, show stealing verses: Above the Clouds, Tru Master, etc. It's time for hip hop to put him within the top 20.
Deck is rated as the thirteenth best emcee of all time.
He's not ranked higher because like sports (especially the NBA), people like & rank players based on:
-entertainment value
-story
-misleading stats or numbers
not the true art/skill
I agree totally man - for me him and meth are best in Wu easy and Deck is up there with any of the greats...
@@chintweezyskicks
Inspectah Deck & Gza are 2 artists that have no personality, marketability or style but their pens are INCREDIBLE!!!!
@@chintweezyskicks
Absolutely, people don't understand that the Wu-camp have got several KILLERS with that pen:
-Gza
-Deck
-Rza
-Meth
-Killa Priest
-Hell Razah
-Shabazz The Disciple
-Grym Reaper from Gravediggaz
-Killa Sin
-Timbo King

That got me so hyped😂, this just shows you that RZA isn’t making any part of their story up. I love the show so much !

How can something be so gritty and raw yet at the same time so eloquent profound and beautiful? #wutangforever
Deck has always been my fav from the Wu
Deck has some of best verses ever
we need da mystery of chessboxin
Definitely
I jus couldnt see Rae jumpin like that, BUT now hearing RZA say it!! 🙌🏾 Been a WU head since jump in 93!
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 all of them from their solo album to Wu Tang albums. Wu Tang Clan should be a National Treasure!

Supreme neck protector
-Method Man
I still have a copy of the original cassette single. Method man is the b-side & the address is Morningside rd
inspectah deck is so sick
0:32 when he shouts later
NR ONE SET OFF MC IN THE GAME ! WU TANG CLAN COMING AT YA!!!! and when the beats came up
seriously. the hardest gooseflesh in my life!
Definition of MC’ing 🦾🤲🏽
Show me someone who ain’t a fan of Wu Tang and i’ll show you someone who needs to protect their neck.
My personal favorite Wu song.
I still get chills when I hear this one.
Smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Frazier...
One love TO ALL THE WU FAMILY WORLDWIDE.....
I’m so thankful that I have a collection of WuTang CDs WuTang WuTang 👐🏽
Favorite rap joint of ALL TIME 🔥💯🔥👀
My mom told me it's about wearing a scarf to avoid catching a cold.
Deck was the best 'SetOff MC'
And now we have 'Offset'....I miss the Golden age.
Deck keeps that going to this day with FIRE verses on the CZARFACE albums.
The clan should make a protect ya neck 2 !!!!
If any group is capable of making a banging sequel , it's the WU!!!
inspektah deck's intro can not be undermined, he set the tone for the rest of the song
Instant classic and my favorite. Yeah Wu-Tang again and again
If you pay attention to what Ghost and Deck is saying, you can hear them talking about the beef between some of them.

The Rebel INS and cappuccino on the track are so under rated in the main stream. Real ones know
Wu-Tang forever
The Wu is no doubt true Hip-Hop. However even deeper than that, y’all provided the template for a people to excel beyond the infighting that still holds back so many of the original people in the western hemisphere that are descendants of the the organic diaspora.
0:10-0:11 It was only 8 members on “Protect Ya Neck”.. The 9th Member 0:24-0:26 was Masta Killa and he wasn’t on “Protect Ya Neck”....
WU-Forever...
I thought the first time protect ya neck was played on the radio was on the Stretch Armstrong show?
Real heads know that The Box was lit when this came on.
The Box was realized artist left and right back then.
This episode on season 2 Hulu series
🙌🏾🐝
This is MUCH better than the Hulu show
Crazy that INS freestyled that Joe Frazier line. Inspektah freestyles a line better than most people can write.
there’s no way he actually freestyled that line. I love the Wu but I don’t buy that for one second.
God Bless whoever is living at 234 Morningstar Rd today
This group of Da Vinci's and Michellangelo's of Hip-Hop absolutely smokes any trap artist out there.
