Gangrene is a condition people are in when their lives are threatened because of the death of skin (which is called necrosis). Gangrene would be a threat to the stability of one’s body and/or life.

Deltron Zero (Del) plays on this by using “this stability” to allude to the crooked society he lives in between the years 3030 and 3040.

Julius Luciano plays on the homophones “inspect a deck” and “Inspectah Deck”, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan along with Method Man, who is a member of the Wu-Tang, and Redman, who is a frequent collaborator. A real boss would of course be short a few spades because he ditched them after burying bodies, you never know though, but beware!
