From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hip Hop Lives is the collaborative album from MC KRS-One and producer Marley Marl. This is a historical album in the sense that 20 years ago, KRS and Marl were once bitter rivals involved in the legendary Bridge Wars. This album is a sort of a quasi-sequel to Nas' 2006 album Hip Hop Is Dead, not contrary, as KRS-One is known to have agreed with Nas' declaration of rap music's "death". The album has moved 21,588 units.
[edit] Conception
"It all happened with one phone call," Marley Marl told AllHipHop.com during a March 2006 interview.[1] "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). The music video for Hip Hop Lives was released and can be seen on YouTube.com
