This interview was conducted in part due to our large reception towards the recent video release of Old School Scholar MegaMix One by DJ GrandSinister Ice.

So there was a segment with Flash and Melle Mel, another one with Spicey Dee, and the other was Jay Bee and DJ AJ. The B-Side had the Hypnotizing 3 MCs performing.
