Treach Fires Vinnie From Naughty By Nature On Twitter
Late last night a tweet from frontman Treach’s Twitter account said that fellow Naughty member, Vinnie, was “fired” from the group. Later the certified Naughty by Nature Twitter account tweeted a link from Vinnie’s Instagram page. The picture including the caption “Sitting Vin!” and a quote by Native American resistance fighter Sitting Bull that read:
Warriors are not what you what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others.
According to the group’s website, Treach, Vinnie, and DJ Kay are scheduled to perform in Durham on May 18th and in North Carolina on May 24th. There is no official statement on Naughty by Nature’s site or Twitter feed about the break up or Treach’s tweets.

Songs From Scratch: Nosaj Thing & Chance The Rapper Record “Paranoia”
Courtesy of Yours Truly. The finished song is below:
Nosaj Thing is particularly picky when approaching vocalists, and as a hip-hop head, that goes double for rappers. The only other emcee he’s collaborated with besides Chance the Rapper is Kendrick Lamar.
On Acid Rap, Chance stretches syllables across such a dizzyingly diverse assortment of sounds and styles that one wonders which instrument is sharper, his ears or his pen? While still in training, Chance wrestled with Nosaj Thing beats for target practice, humbly admitting as much to Jason just as their “Songs from Scratch” session was gathering steam.
This session was spontaneous combustion; two forcible factors colliding in a confined space to produce a known quantity. “Paranoia” the results of that collision, is available for download tomorrow.
