Treach On Top Five Debates: "The Most Disrespectful Question I Get..."

Treach On Top Five Debates: "The Most Disrespectful Question I Get..."

Published Tue, May 17, 2022 at 12:00 AM EDT

Treach isn't a fan of Top Five debates. The Naughty By Nature frontman made an appearance on Matt Hoffa's My Expert Opinion and shared that he thinks it shorts Hip-Hop to constantly reduce conversations to Top Five or Top Ten.

“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 five 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 five and then five up until when? Now? AndI only got five? And then you ain’t even mentioning the females!”

Treach Reacts To Kool Moe Dee's Rapper Report Cards: "It's an Honor"

Jan 17, 2022

Earlier this year, Treach was a topic of discussion after Kool Moe Dee's Hip-Hop report card from 1999 was re-published. The New Jersey rap legend spoke about how much it meant for him to be recognized by a legend of Moe Dee's stature.

“First of all, it’s an honor,” Treach explained to HipHopDX. “Kool Moe Dee is past legendary — he’s an icon. And he’s one of, in his era, was known as one of the most fiercest battle rappers out there. Nobody wanted any problems with him until LL [COOL J] came, and then they had their back and forth battle, which was one of the greatest Hip-Hop battles of all time.”
