Conception

"It all happened with one phone call," Marley Marl told AllHipHop.com during a March 2006 interview.[11] "They called me and he jumped on the phone and told me it would be spectacular for Hip Hop...My reason for doing this is to show these kids that [Hip Hop beefs] are not that serious." The first single is "Hip Hop Lives (I Come Back).
