It hurts me to see all these legendary HipHop groups end long working relationships in a negative way.
Wu Tang are just hanging from a thread right now, cos countless times,
ghostface and
Methodman have let the world know that they are no longer feeling
RZA. Mobb Deep had their falling out in a messy way too last year. Although
Prodigy and
Havoc are working on getting back for business purposes, they can't take away the words that have been exchanged...the diss records that they put out going at each other. Now,
Naughty By Nature just ended their legendary group.
Men! This is sad...cos when you hear what these people say to themselves after going separate ways, you wonder whether they were ever cool. I mean,
Naughty By Nature have been dropping hits since I was in elemetary school (about 22 years ago), now they are taking jabs at each other on twitter. It's that sad. In case you don't know,
Treach is the main figure in the group, and Vinnie takes a few verses on a few songs...and then there
Kay Gee is their
DJ...or Treach's
DJ.
Check out what
Treach had to say about
Vin below-
"We never wanted to be the group that goes though anything that we
can’t resolve on our own, or anything else. Nobody—me being Treach, Kay Gee and Vin being Vin – is
larger than the group. We came in on some ego-free shit. Now, when
somebody comes and gets larger than the group, it's gonna be a problem. If you see any of our albums, it says 'written and
produced by Naughty By Nature.' Because, homie you, [Vinnie], was
somebody that was over there beat-boxing and break-dancing and any
lyrics you had anywhere, was written for you. Don’t never get
larger than the group. The producer and the writer of the group are
always like 'we, we, we,' not 'me, me, me.' Even if you don’t do shit,
we gonna make sure you taken care of for the rest of your life."
How dare you ever play like you bigger than the group,
or [call yourself] the owner? [You're] the boss or you the shot-caller.
Or you're anything else other than what the fuck you are—which is a
nigga that needs to be enjoying the fucking ride. Don’t never question
who I am, what I do, how I am. Don’t stay in ya lane—play ya position.
Dogs, you can be hired help at any time. You never wrote one hit. You
never produced one hit song. You came on as a homie that was there…we
threw you a lot of bones just to keep you up in there ’cause you was the
homie, from the door, who was up in there. And we always fit you in
when there wasn’t a spot for you to be in."
This is so sad! What Treach just put out there tells a lot...like they were never a group. Naughty By Nature was just a business venture. I am still waiting on Vinnie to speak on his earlier tweet, claiming to be the owner of Naughter By Nature (the music group). I know all their hits were carried by Treach's fast flow raps. I don't know, maybe Vin was the financial muscle or something. We will get to know what's up as days pass.
