Naughty By Nature – The Hip-Hop Chronicle Interview
I start off with discussing why Naughty are so underrated.
Treach, Vin Rock and Kay Gee then speak on how the group were originally called “New Styleâ€. Off camera, I was talking about “Yoke The Joker†with Treach and told me to listen to the song carefully because you can hear Queen Latifah in the background say “New Styleâ€
They also speak on their memorable studio moments including when Kay Gee wasn’t a fan of the “Uptown Anthem†beat. – Sumit

After Liza Rios and Cuban Link weren’t too happy about Joell Ortiz’s “Big Pun Backâ€, Fat Joe supports it 100%. In an sit down with XXL, Joey Crack praises Joell Ortiz for his ode to Punisher.
“I thought it was incredible. I thought it was great. I never seen a guy in my fucking life get backlash for fucking biggin’ up somebody.â€
Fat Joe also chastises Pun’s former associates.
“See, what happened is Big Pun was surrounded by an enormous amounts of idiots. And, sad to say, as big of a genius he was, and beautiful as he was, and I’m not just saying that ’cause he dead, ’cause he was the most loyal, beautiful person… He’s my brother. I worship him to death… But, it’s unfortunate he was surrounded by a bunch of fucking idiots. Nincompoops. You got a younger Spanish dude who’s hot in the streets and he wants to honor Big Pun and you throw slander at him and you disrespect him for fucking only honoring Pun? How do expect anybody else to honor Big Pun?! Or talk about him in a good way?!â€

RZA Recalls Being Called Out For “Samplingâ€
RZA sat down with MTV and talked about the first time he’d caught backlash for Sampling.
“The first thing happened was that I was at a music store buying equipment, “I went platinum, I became a millionaire, I was probably feeling myself egotistically, going to Sam Ash to buy a whole bunch of equipment, and a regular musician stopped me because people were giving me attention, ‘That’s RZA, that’s RZA.’ And this guy said, ‘You’re ruining music.’ â€
“He’s a musician, but because of sampling, he can’t get a job. Because of drum machines, his drummer can’t get no work. He said, ‘You’re not a real musician.’ I said, ‘What you mean I’m not a real musician? I got a platinum album.’ He said, ‘You’re not a real musician. You don’t know nothing about music.’ â€
“He was right. I couldn’t tell him what a C note was. So he challenged me, basically,†he said.
