Diablo II Music - Deckard Cain Rap

A rap made my Michael Gough and Blizzard North.

This is what Michael Gough, the voice actor of Deckard Cain, had to say about it during an interview we had with him:

Michael Gough: "It started out as kind of a throwaway joke one time after a recording session -- the composer at Blizzard had already laid down the backing tracks. They had some lines they had written down, and they said they wanted to try it as just a joke. I started recording the written lines and coming up with some ideas of my own down and just started rapping. I think I can take credit for about half the lyrics that ended up in the actual rap. That was really fun.

DiabloFans: "As far as the Rap goes, is it something that they came to you about? Or was it something you thought about prior to and hadn't done anything with it?"

Michael Gough: "I can't take credit for the idea, no. It was something that they had thought of and like I said, whoever did the music and the backing tracks for it, they were already laid down. I'm not sure what they thought they were going to do with it, maybe they wanted it as an Easter egg or something... But it was certainly their idea to do a Cain Rap. I've even heard some of the lines listed from it on YouTube and then used to make prank calls. He's been a really cool and fun character and it's certainly not something I've done before. There's a huge amount of years in between that I'm not doing anything with the game, but he's sort of an enduring character, and it's a lot of fun."
