"If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" is a 1996 hit hip hop single by Nas featuring Lauryn Hill of The Fugees. The single was Nas's first Top 20 R&B hit, and was also nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. The song samples the 1983 Whodini single "Friends", and interpolates the song "If I Ruled The World" by Kurtis Blow into its chorus. Lauryn Hill's verse interpolates the song "Walk Right Up To The Sun" by The Delfonics. The song's lyrics feature Nas discussing the various things he would do if he "ruled the world and everything in it".

"If I Ruled the World", bolstered by a high-budget music video directed by Hype Williams, became Nas's first single to gain mainstream notice. The single became a Top 20 hit on both the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks (number 17) chart and the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart (number 15).

back when rap was about the message, not about what u got

[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.

@lFictionaaL nas - the message!

[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

[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.

[hiphopismydrug1]

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

[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!

[blue1161]

@lFictionaaL It's called The Message.

[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

[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
