Mannie says that the Circle House member agreed to use his ideas. "When that song came out I was like, 'Wait, I gave that one away!"
Mannie Fresh was also part of a producers panel on the cruise which included Lil Jon, Pete Rock and DJ Jazzy Jeff. During the panel, he shared with Pete Rock the influence of Pete's hit "T.R.O.Y. "
"The thing is, that song resonated. If you really loved music and Hip-Hop you understood," he explained. "There was a feeling behind that song, it was the right sample and everything. I know it took some time to put it together perfectly for your brother. We felt that."
