In an interview with battle rapper Math Hoffa, Naughty By Nature’s Treach told him asking for a rapper’s top 5 list is disrespectful.
“I don’t think a lot of rappers get the credit they deserve ’cause it’s always like, ‘Who’s your Top 5 or Top 10?'” Treach said.
“It’s the most disrespectful question I get in Hip Hop. Who’s my best 5 or 10 when we going back from the 70s to now. From Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz to like now? LL COOL … you telling me to name 5 and then 5 up until when? Now? And I only got 5? And then you ain’t even mentioning the females!”
Producer Pete Rock agreed with Treach’s take.
“I’m not participating in those specific questions anymore. Sh-t makes no sense tryna crown 1 king when its several kings & queens. Media division amongst artist but y’all gotta see the play tho,” he captioned the clip.
Are they right?
