There is a non edited version of Protect Ya Neck called '(Bloody Version)'. I only have it in m4a format though.

I've come to like the 'buzz' sound on the original

Master Killer isn't exactly great, but he does have the odd brilliant moment, such "Raw I'm a give it to ya/ with no trivia/ raw like cocaine straight from bolivia..." etc.
There's also the cool bit in the Triumph video where they all raise their fists during his verse.

I always thought the "raw I'm'a give it to ya" section was RZA for some reason, but the Internet is telling me it's U-God, which I definitely hear. Master Killa's verse on that track is the "Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty..." finale, which is actually pretty great ("..with the speed of a centipede"). I think maybe sometimes I think Masta Killer's stuff is the GZA for some reason...

"raw i'mma give it to ya" is u-god, and it IS pretty great.

U-God: Dud or Greatest One-Verse MC of All Time?

Oh wait, that turns out to be a trick question: the Greatest One-Verse MC Of All Time is Deck.

Both U-God and Inspectah Deck have acquited themselves nicely as one-verse wonders on countless Wu-cuts, but since I've never actually heard any of their solo stuff I hesitate to take sides. They've certainly never produced albums anyone's recommended to me...but in any case, both have totalled up some great stuff on Wu group cuts. I think Deck does win, though, for the "I bomb atomically" verse in "Triumph."

Bollocks, you're completely right - Master Killer does the "evidence indicates that his stature/ merciless like a terrorist/ hard to capture' verse. How shameful.
If U-God were to be a one-verse MC, it should be for his verse on Ghostface's Black Jesus. Now that really is incredible.
