Inspectah Deck - The Big Game
Producer: Mental Instruments
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Urban Icon Records
Wu-Tang forever! Sorry, anytime I see more than one Wu alumnus on a track I’m legally obligated to make a killer bees reference. My Wu-related Tourettes aside, today we’re being blasted with the latest leak off Inspectah Deck’s upcoming album, Manifesto, in the form of the intensely electronic banger The Big Game. Propelled by a full-volume beat courtesy of Mental Instruments that I frankly wasn’t feeling at first, but has now worked its way into my heart, on The Big Game Inspectah shows that even after decades in the game his flow’s as sharp as ever (though I’d advise him to ditch the outdated Barry Bonds reference). Rounding out the track’s line-up is Raekwon, who cooks up yet another dope flow, and AC, who provides a workable if not particularly remarkable hook. Ultimately, I’ve got a feeling this is one of those love it or hate it tracks. So, which will it be Booth? Deck’s fourth solo album Manifesto is scheduled to do Staten Island proud on March 23. Plan accordingly.

Like Nathan this took a few listens before I pushed it over the top for a feature slot. Raekwon could have delivered more on his guest 16, but despite it being sub par (for him) it was still the best contribution here. I'm looking forward to see what else Deck has in his arsenal for the new album.

I wasn't feelin the hook and felt like it could have been tweaked but Inspectah Deck had a sick flow on the first verse and the production was tight. AC and Raekwon were both solid. Another 3.5

For Deck and Raekwon this is an average track, which automatically places it in rotation. The hook was just catchy enough, the first verse was ok, and Raekwon brought the track up after that. AC did his thing too.

Like Barry Bonds' 2007 season (.276 batting average, 28 home runs, and 66 RBIs) this is a decent song, but definitely not what a future (possible) hall of famer is capable of delivering.
Hey, you don't want me to dig into your sports analogy, don't spit it.

Not really feelling it. The hook really ruined it and the beat sounded cheap. Deck and Rae's flow was a bit off but lyrically they were decent. I'm over the Barry Bonds reference, it's old and tired.

production was bangin but the hook took it way down. The hook is suppose to elvate a track, not deflate it of its energy.

The hook brought it down for me, but I'm feeling the newage electronic beat.
Rae killed his 16, and Inspectah delivers some hard content too though. One star off for the hook. |

I've always questioned The Rebel Ins' ability to keep my ear for more than a verse. Production & AC's chorus seem out of place for a traditional Wu Banger. Back in the day everything they put out was CLASSIC.
