    Default Protect Ya Neck (Original Version) ???

    Does anybody have the original version of Protect Ya Neck. Today I was reading on Wikipedia about "Protect Ya Neck" and I found this information: "On the original recording version of the song, Inspektah Deck's verse came second, but RZA changed it to first in the order. The original beat was totally different, and all Wu-members were in a different order".

    I know that Wikipedia is not a perfect source, but damn -- if this version really exists please lemme know!

    ^ I don't think. If he had recorded the whole verse RZA would've put it on

    Did you buy the single upon its release?

    I only got familiar with the Wu when Meth dropped his first solo album. (There was no outlet for hiphop music here except for Yo!MTV raps once a week in the evening. How things have changed over the years!)

    Dont buy that. cannot be true.
    I heard Rza state in various interviews (over the span of decades), that PYN was originally an INS track called 'Blowin Up tha Spot'.
    "First to set it off.... the Inspectah Deck!"
    The rest is glorious history.
