Nas Feat. Lauryn Hill - If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)

[MrBlackhaze]

Nas is a fake ass bitch...he stole the beat from 2pacs troublesome 96..

[iamjd32]

both vevo and bvm got this censored but i rather watch this in bvm, bitch ass vevo bastards.

[gustavoacf]

98 personas tienen que estar equivocadas

[90ssm]

@whatupmaaan naaw, bad meets evil was terrible aswell, the best song on it was fast lane, and it wasnt lyrical. ya nas has worked with a bunch of mainstream artists, but not on a regular basis, eminem is a sellout dawg

[lFictionaaL]

is the song at the begining just an intro to this or is it a seperate song? if it is what's it called?

[blue1161]

@lFictionaaL It's called The Message.

[hellrazor154]

@lFictionaaL nas - the message!

[tablorrainexD]

this song rules the world

[JusJosh90]

Most probably won’t read this but I’ll still say it cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young queer-hop artist originating from Chi. I know there's a lot of artists out there but I feel like my music has a unique style and soul that can help push the voices of the LGBT community. Just need support to do it. If you just take a min I'll make you a believer. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push makes a huge difference. Much love:)

[MrImaBA]

beautiful song. rap at its height

[CMHippie]

This song brings a tear to my eye.

[Jeezymusic]

WTF! First thing when you type in "if i ruled the world " is...

Big Time Rush - If I Ruled the World ...

[USNubia23]

I've always loved nas .. damn Kelise u let a good one go. love this song, wish i can go bck. 90's baby.

[djtw3rp]

is it the same song in the beginning?

[WStreetfame]

is it Mega on the passengers seat at 0:30 ?

[MrTonys88]

what a great time for rap music

[akirascf1]

Nas rulez because he a youngster who is old skool

[ibeth51050]

[sabrinagoodies]

[178sonik]

lauren hill feat.nas the beautiful couple by hip hop...

[MrDeadPrezident]

Nas 4 President

[BUCKSHOT705]

dam this guy sucks get him off youtube eminem could own this douce eminem and 2pac and biggie each could put this guy outa rap this guy sucks!

[TheMariachi7]

@BUCKSHOT705 are you serious bro? whhhahauahahaa You're obviously not really listening.

[BUCKSHOT705]

@TheMariachi7 yes i am listening and eminem owns this rap could put him out of rap

[biggiesmalls108]

@BUCKSHOT705 Are you a serious dick rider or so you just really shag eminem, idiot you don't understand how much of a cunt you actually are you stupid bitch

[BUCKSHOT705]

@biggiesmalls108 im not a dick rider i said he could put him out of rap because he sucks

[90ssm]

@BUCKSHOT705 omfg? another eminem dick rider... fuck off faggot and go suck on a soother. nas is the king but it wont help arguein wit a bitch like u

[BUCKSHOT705]

@90ssm naa im not eminem dick rider i said him or 2pac or biggie could put him outa rap cause its true he sucks

[90ssm]

@BUCKSHOT705 give me one reason why nas sucks? nas has always been and will be better than pac, biggie and eminem, eminem is garbage anyway, hes a sellout for lil girls and boys. pac was more of a philospher and nas was jus better than biggie, if u honestly thing nas sucks, ur just a mainstream dickrider.

[whatupmaaan]

@90ssm eminem garbage? nooo not at all, he's one of the dopest lyricists i've ever heard. nas is better, but eminem definetly deserves the status he has

[90ssm]

@whatupmaaan he was back in the day. now hes just a sellout for little boys and girls. recovery was one of the most dissapointing albums, that song, love the way you lie? eminem has always made music with mainstream artists, nas never does, nas keeps it 100

[hiphopismydrug1]

@90ssm i agreed with your comment, nas is the goat and is my favourite mc. but recovery was out nearly 2 years ago, his most recent work was bad meets evil album which was fire!

[hiphopismydrug1]

@90ssm also nas is making songs with lil wayne, rick ross etc does that make him a sellout?

[whatupmaaan]

@90ssm yeah recovery was shit. but bad meets evil is dope, and nas has worked with puff daddy, chris brown, will smith (co-wrote gettin jiggy with it), will.i.am, jay-z, rick ross, lil wayne, snoop dogg, the game, frank ocean, alicia keys, and was married to kelis. so yeah nas has worked with countless mainstream artists. but who you work with doesnt make you worse of a rapper.

[MrBlackhaze]

@90ssm are you kidding? you are asking why nas sucks? he stole this beat from 2pac´s troublesome 96.....and 2pac is the one and only REAL G ...nas is only a fake ass bitch

[KanapkaDrobakha]

funny thing is...this is the worst song on the album and it's still some good shit.

[confettidadon]

Now this is real music RESPECT ALWAYS

[JonathanJonnyJones]

[jarewalshy]

@JonathanJonnyJones im not gonna yell at you but its not that bad the raps killed

@JonathanJonnyJones nothing but drum beats and clicking noises?! you, sir, don't deserve to have ears

[JonathanJonnyJones]

[rodriramallo2]

i remember when 2pac made "Troublesome"

[Jeezymusic]

@rodriramallo2  so what?

[rodriramallo2]

@Jeezymusic when Pac made troublesome (whit the same beat or or similar) He destroyed Nas, The Firm , Biggie , Puffy (Killuminati) , Mobb "Sleep" , Gay-Z .

[Jeezymusic]

@rodriramallo2 Yeah okay but the beat was ORIGINALLY from Whodini - Friends, Sampling is usual in music btw. Nas showed much respect to pac after his dead...

[rodriramallo2]

@Jeezymusic 4 real dog . but tell me wtf is this  /watch?v=rDdPcYaFH3k .. "THUG LIFE IS MINE" thats respect man ? i dont think so..

[Jeezymusic]

@rodriramallo2 yeah but what would you do if someone would diss you (2pac started beef wit nas) but after 2pac's death nas shows respect like a real man

[rodriramallo2]

@Jeezymusic Ok man.. 

[rodriramallo2]

@rodriramallo2 and made "All Eyez On Me" (song) whit "Street Dreams" (by nas) beat too.

[The12Jacob]

If you guys don't want you're ears or eyes obliterated don't listen to Big Time Rush's "If I Ruled the World" the lyrics are trash and the 10 year old girls commenting are absolutely fucking pathetic.

[Rcrete]

@The12Jacob you mean Absolutely Pathetic The12Jacobs who went on Youtube using such language because of a 15 year old. How much did your song make?

[8103andrew]

shit this song takes me back!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1337realist]

Naz is trash

[SuperWeedPower]

@1337realist NIGGA WWWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT !?

[The12Jacob]

@1337realist Who the fuck is Naz? Never heard of him so i can't say he is trash, until then i'll just continue listening to God's Son: Nasir Jones.

[VonHalford]

@1337realist who are you? Oh that's right, a troll. Carry on everyone. Nothing to see here. Literally

[SketchyMike85]

@ StankySwank

That's right son, Keep it Real!

[Bankallday]

yall niggas say you support real hip hop but how many of yall actually buying the albums?

Don;t come on here and complain if you're not actually supporting hip hop and the artists that are keeping it alive.

Common just dropped another classic. Nas working on a new one and speaking of Common Nas and Com are actually working on a duet album so I I hope yall niggas coppin those

[ProperPiff]

That awkward moment when you realize Tupac ripped this sample (1:10) for troublesome 96...

And you don't give a shit because both rappers are still fucking legends.

[Bankallday]

@ProperPiff Go listen to Whodini - Friends...That's where Nas and Pac sampled this and Troublesome from

Where the hell you been, you late as fuck for just now noticing....SMH kids

[ProperPiff]

@Bankallday Hahaha chill, I never was the type of person to sit and listen to Nas shit for the instrumentals dumbass. I was just watching Pac live at the House of Blues the other day and he says he took the beat from Nas, I didn't notice because I don't really care.

[Bankallday]

@ProperPiff Well fuck you then nigga...No reason for you to direct harsh words towards me, I didn't insult you.

[bubbakush123]

yall little ass kids, talking like you know rap, you probably stumbled on this song. lol.

[pjizz0]

@bubbakush123 naw i knew what this was! one of the best rappers of all time Nas!

[scoobydubeedew]

i'm 20 and i know every sing thing of rap-rhyming lol you going to see me down in history , all bs aside. remember my name eddy rodriguez

[standurgroundanfight]

[UgynMarlz]

[WhydYouRage]

If i ruleeddd the worldd, i'd legalize pot X)

[StankySwank]

[nevergonnaquitsmokin]

im 15 and i know real rap idk whats wrong with kids my age that listen to all the fake ass rapers, hip hop is dieing.

[R8er1980]

@nevergonnaquitsmokin Ur a beast I'm 17 listen to this dudehe's mad ill soo happy he is on Common's new album on the ong Ghetto Dreams he got off he's the only current non-manstream rapper Drake sux ass now Lil Wayne is ok & every1 else is garbage Tyler The Creator only Yonkers was good allelse garbage Jay-Z & Kanye doin' goo & Game is tht beast shit Nas best current rapper tho

[RamzaBeoulve02]

@nevergonnaquitsmokin You may know rap, but perhaps your spelling needs improvement. There's a difference between "good rap" and cursing every other word, you know? It's all good though. GOOD RAP is a matter of opinion. Remember that.

[crisandrade777]

@nevergonnaquitsmokin Lmao w2 . Im just 12 and I know the real rap .

[ChildSkater]

@crisandrade777 Thats rare. im proud of you son :)
