Treach Explains His Rift With Vinnie

Rapper Treach shocked longtime Naughty By Nature fans when he blasted bandmate Vinnie (aka “Vin Rock“) and claimed Vin had been “fired” from the group via Twitter earlier this week. Vin responded by tweeting that you “can’t fire the owner,” which has prompted Treach to release a diss track aimed at his longtime partner called “Tall Midget,” and he explained to AllHipHop why he’s fed up with Vinnie. “We never wanted to be the group that goes though anything that we can’t resolve on our own, or anything else,” Treach explained. “Nobody—me being Treach, Kay [Gee] and Vin [Rock] being Vin – is larger than the group. We came [in] on some ego-free sh*t. 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,’” he continued. “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 sh*t, we gonna make sure you taken care of for the rest of your life.” Treach also revealed that he and Vinnie haven’t really interacted on a personal level in about two years.

JoJo Simmons Gets The Paws Put On Him, Says All He Does Is “Count Money & F-ck B-tches”

Hynief-confronts-Jojo

We got a feeling JoJo Simmons doesn’t have a publicist, or at least doesn’t listen to him or her. Reverend Run’s oldest son recently got hemmed up by some Juelz Santana affiliated goons in Queens. Now, JoJo has commented on the incident, sort of. While bigging up his boy upcoming music video, JoJo was asked to address ths incident in Queens. Over the weekend, after previously dropping a Juelz Santana diss called “Holy Water” earlier in the year, one of the Harlem rapper’s Skull Gang members, Hynief, ran up on Diggy‘s brother, put the paws on him and decided to take a photo of the incident. “Guess who I caught y’all Lil punk A$$ Jo Jo that made the diss track look at his face when he ace! #facts shouldn’t pop sh-t if u not bout that life real ni–as don’t care who u related too f-ck ni–a,” read the caption of the flick on Instagram.

To his credit, Simmons didn’t fall into the trap of talking big ish now that he was surrounded by his own set of goons, a couple of who even claim to be a Crips. However, Simmons commentary wasn’t exactly “humbling” and surely the Rev would not approve of such rhetoric. “All I been around is money all my life. I aint’ been around that thug or that gun sh-t all my life, that’s not what I do,” explained JoJo What I do is I count money, and I f-ck b-tches, and I travel the world, and that’s what I do. I’m not on that violent sh-t.”

Lil Wayne And Pitbull Discuss Their Beef On Twitter

Young Money general Lil Wayne has started reassessing the people he thinks are his friends. Miami rapper Pitbull recently dissed Weezy for making disrespectful remarks about the city of Miami. Once Wayne was made aware of the diss, he initiated a conversation on Twitter with Pitbull to try to solve whatever problem they have. Pitbull recorded a diss record called “Welcome To Dade County” over the Bauuer track “Harlem Shake.” In the song Weezy gets roasted by the Cuban rhymer for making disparaging remarks about the Miami Heat. In the song Mr. 305 growled, “Don’t sh*t where you eat. When we show love to those that get their city destroyed by a hurricane and then they come down here…” Once Weezy heard the diss track he posted, “Dam pit bull bro I thought u was kool.” Never one to hide his feelings, Pitbull responded to Weezy with, “@LilTunechi I am cool papo but imagine me sh*tting on anything new orleans which I was just there for super bowl the big easy I loved it.” Pit followed that up with, “@LilTunechi the world shows me love and vice versa but miami is all I got no disrespect just the truth.” The New Orleans native Lil Wayne and Pitbull became friends when they first worked together on Pitbull’s 2005 remix to his single “Dammit Man.” Since then, they both appeared on one of DJ Khaled’s first singles “Holla At Me Baby.”

Ron Browz Recalls Producing Nas’ “Ether” & Big L’s “Ebonics”

Ron Browz Recalls Producing Nas' "Ether" & Big L's "Ebonics"

Ron Browz may be best known for his Auto-Tune-heavy singles released over the past decade, but he’s also served as a producer on some classic records. During an interview with Montreality, the Harlem, New York native reflected on producing Big L‘s “Ebonics” and Nas‘ “Ether,”as well as the “Last Real Nigga Alive.” Browz explained that he met Big L on the street to record what would become “Ebonics,” included on the 2000 LPThe Big Picture. ”I knew about Big L from just being in Harlem. He was one of the artists from Harlem who had deals. You could probably count on one hand – maybe two hands – how many artists from Harlem had deals and stuff like that and Big L was one of them. So I was kind of familiar with his work,” he said, recalling how they first met. “Just hanging out actually around the corner, me and my homie, and he just walked by and we just approached him like, ‘Yo, I got some beats.’ He came upstairs, the first beat he heard was ‘Ebonics.’ He laid it down on cassette in the house, and then we went to D&D Studios the next week and recorded the official single, ‘Ebonics.’” He said that getting placements in the early ’00s wasn’t easy and that he had to supply Nas’ travel agent with a beat CD to secure production on “Ether.” Browz explained that he didn’t submit the beat with the “Fuck Jay-Z” sample on it, and that it was added after he learned that it would be a diss track.

“At the time, I didn’t really have a name for production. I just had did ‘Ebonics.’ We reached out to Nas’ travel agent. Back then, you had to do whatever you had to do to give a beat CD to an artist. You ain’t really see them… You ain’t gonna see Nas on a random day walking around like you see artists now. So we gave it to a travel agent. He held the beat for a while, and then a couple months later told me to come to the studio and it was ‘Ether.’ I didn’t know it was going to be a diss record until I got to the studio and he played it for me. A lot of people think it was premeditated. They act like I put the ‘Fuck Jay-Z’ at the beginning so they htought it was premeditated by me.” Browz is currenlty prepping the release of his upcoming album Etherboy: Browz Reloaded that spawned the single “Swervin’” last October.

Master P Clarifies Alleged Kanye West & Lil Wayne Diss Track “Brick To A Million”

Master P Clarifies Alleged Kanye West & Lil Wayne Diss Track "Brick To A Million"

On his new track “Brick to a Million” with Fat Trel and Alley Boy, Master P spits a few bars that many interpreted as a diss to Kanye West and Lil Wayne. On the song, he raps, ”New niggas wearing dresses, fuck it / I ain’t scared to address it / Gangsta niggas on skateboards / I’m at the house breaking motherfucking headboards / Real niggas stand up.” During an interview with Power 106′s Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the No Limit honcho cleared up misconceptions about the lyrics, stating that he was not addressing those rappers in particular but was instead talking about a radio station employee who told him he was finished. “Even that, that ain’t a diss. I never made a diss record. Like I said, a lot of people, if you feel salty behind that, then I could say if the shoe fit well, I’m not afraid to address it,” he said. “I just feel like in Hip Hop, we’ve got to stick to whether we’re going to be real or we not. Like I said, I’m just addressing what I see. To be honest with you, that particular song wasn’t about nobody in Hip Hop but I think people taking it like that. This was one of these guys that worked at the radio station and didn’t believe in me and told me it was over for me. He ridin’ up on a skateboard and got a little mini-skirt on. This a new dude into the business, and he telling me it’s over for me.”

P, who was rumored to have issues with Cash Money Records back in the day, said that if the rappers took offense to the song, they might want to rethink their choices. But he insists that he has no beef with either of them. “If you feel guilty about something, then that’s something you need to address about with yourself,” he said. “Y’all gotta realize, we really from the streets. If there really was a feud, there would have been a problem. But I got love for Baby and them, Lil Wayne. They come from where I come from. It’s always been a competition. Everybody want to be the best.”

Swizz Beatz Doesn’t Think Meek Mill Will Respond To Cassidy

Swizz Beatz Doesn't Think Meek Mill Will Respond To Cassidy

If there is anyone who knows about Cassidy’s career in the game, it’s Swizz Beatz. The two worked closely when Cass first made a splash on the mainstream Rap market. Through time, their relationship also had ups and downs. Now Swizz is being asked about Cassidy’s latest feud with Meek Mill. During his interview with Global Grind, Swizz shared his take on the diss & whether or not Meek will respond. ”That’s how he felt. His passion is rapping and battling and I think he said everything that he meant,” Swizz explained, when asked about Cassidy’s “R.A.I.D.” diss track for Meek Mill. When asked if his reaction was “Oh my God,” Swizz said he’s used to battling. “I’m used to it. I been around battling all my life. It’s a creative sport,” he added. However, he does not think Meek will be replying. “I doubt it,” he said. “I don’t think he’s gonna respond.” Swizz also spoke on Chief Keef and how he has become a part of the gun control conversation. 

“I think it’s bigger than him,” he explained. “Chief Keef is just a name people can relate to because he’s in the entertainment business. But, I think the real reason is the youth, period, with nowhere to go, no plans, and they’re just resorting to living however they want to live. You go to a different country and they don’t have no support, no food, it’s the same thing. It’s just that we’re knowing about it more because there’s a celebrity name involved, but I wouldn’t even put that on him. This has been going on for years. They shut down the whole Cabrini–Green a long time ago. This been happening. But the key thing is how is it going to stop happening? Is it arts? Is it music? That’s the thing to figure out.”

Meek Mill To No Longer Address Cassidy Beef, Says Cassidy's Not Welcomed In Philadelphia

After feuding with Cassidy for several weeks now, it appears that Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is beginning to tire of his feud with the Philly emcee who once referred to their lyrical battle as being “good for Hip Hop.” While speaking with HipHopSince1987.com, Meek revealed that it’s no longer enjoyable releasing diss records aimed at Cassidy and that at this point he believes the rapper is merely trying to benefit from their quarrel.

“If we [release] diss records and whatever and after your diss record the next day you gotta try and drop a new song and you try to benefit off me that’s when it becomes not a game anymore,” Meek Mill explained. “You ain’t benefitting off of me. That little shit, your interviews, that go in four or 50 days…So when it becomes that it ain’t fun no more to me. It’s a nigga trying to steal from me basically.”

After stating that he would no longer speak on his beef with Cassidy in interviews, Meek Mill addressed Ar-Ab’s recent comments on Cassidy and revealed that Cass is no longer welcomed in the city of Philadelphia.

“He can’t come back to the city really,” said Meek. “Last five times he been back to the city he was back here with me or either Ar-Ab. He ain’t addressed everything Ar-Ab said in none of his raps because he won’t address it, he scared to address it. He won’t dare address that. And Ar-Ab ain’t saying nothing new he been saying shit like this. He only saying it because of the camera.” In the span of their beef both Meek Mill and Cassidy have released a handful of diss records including “Raid,” “Me, Myself & iPhone,” and “Repo.”
