Treach recently recalled himself and 2Pac getting into a brawl at the Comedy Store in the mid-1990s. Speaking with The Art of Dialogue, the Naughty By Nature rapper explained that the Rollin’ 60s Crips and Bloods were involved in a heated feud that led to the two rappers getting caught up in the middle of a fight. In turn, the incident sparked a brief feud with the Crips.
“They came in and just started picking up chairs and bottles. We heard the commotion in the back. Before we got a chance to look back, bow! I got hit in the head with a chair,” he recalled. “That’s when I walked around with the big chain, so I took that shit off immediately. ‘Pac and everybody that was with us picked up bottles and chairs, and there was just an all-out brawl. So we ended up fighting our way outta there.”

“It was so real we actually had gotten green-lit by the 60s. A green light is like on sight, n****s is gonna roll on you and handle business — it’s a hit,” he continued. “So I had to get up with my family that was out there … We sat down in Compton and basically let it be known we ain’t disrespected the gang, we was just doing what we had to do to get up outta there. So they took the green light off and the rest is history.” Check out Treach's full comments on the incident below.
