From there, she called Russell Simmons, who told her they couldn't hold off on the album to make another song, to which Dixon suggested making the song a remix to put on the b-side of the next single. She suggested it be a duet, and mentioned her friend, Lauryn Hill, who Simmons wasn't familiar with at the time.
"He was like, who the fuck is that?" she remembered.
Then Dixon suggested Mary J. Blige. She went to Diddy, Diddy suggested the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell spin-off, played over Slick Rick's "A Children's Story," and the rest is history.
