After a 22-year grudge due to a disagreement over the birthplace of hip-hop, KRS-One and Marley Marl finally make amends onHip Hop Lives. KRS-One is preoccupied with two issues here: one being that hip-hop will never die, and the other that he was a prominent hip-hop pioneer in his heyday. His bragging rights are certainly deserved, as KRS-One reads a laundry list of all the major urban historical events that he attended ("I Was There").

[The Circuit City version of the CD features three bonus tracks: "Run the Streets Bumpin Beats," "U Thug," and "I Am Hip Hop."] ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
