Lyrics:
If I ruled the world (Imagine that)
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds and pearls
(Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
If I ruled the world
(Still living for today, in these last days and times)

I wish we could go back to this era of Hip Hop
D4RK what is hip hop
FACTS
Go back to this erea of time... 90‘ best century to life 👍👌 ... said a german 😉
It was the best
WOrd!!
✌️
Three things to appreciate about this:
1: Nas
2: The Lauryn Hill Hook
3: That remarkable bassline
Goosebumps. Perfection.
I'd add a 4th (and this is probably music nerdy, lol)
4. The two chords in the hook. Going from the minor to the major back to the minor repeatedly...along with the little instrumental effect with the counter-rhythm in the background, and combined with the usual hip-hop beat creates some kind of effect that's hard to explain. It's quite unique, and it's kinda stuck with me since I was a child...great rap song!
5: the sample is great
Straight ripped Houdini song
Yeah I remember pitkin avenue day in Mike Tyson pengion coop
Don't forget the Whodini-Friends sample in the background
I wish we could go back to this era of Hip Hop
what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took Nas oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful
😊i
Never gets old.....still a classic. And still as fresh as it was all those years ago.
It's pap😅
This is OG
I’m 21 years old. My thing is... these 90”s rappers were in their early 20”s hell some of them teens and their vocabulary was just fucking insane. Not even just their vocabulary their outlook on life and how they put their experiences into raps. Wutang, nas, mobb deep so many others. I just find absolutely crazy how ahead of their age they were and still are. My mom actually worked with wutang on their second album she’s on wu revolution with popa wu R.I.P. it’ll never really sink in with me that my mom has literally worked with the greatest rap group in history. Her name is SAY Wonder Woman she writes raps and sings. She’s on cappadonnas hook off album from 2014, and Ghostface recent project cream of the crop. Peace and much respect to the 90”s man beyond legendary era❗️❗️❗️💪🏿
Yoo thats so cool my man, 🔥🔥keep ur family hustle on
Thank you so much man ❗️❗️❗️ Same to you
God bless those people
When I was your age, at 21, I remember that Mobb Deep released Infamous. When I heard Shook Ones Pt2, especially "Every rhyme I write is 25 to life" and "Your crew is featherweight, my gunshots will make you levitate", I had no idea that they were 18-19 at the time, and even younger than myself. So when I heard "I'm only 19, but my mind is older", I was shocked. Those lines have always stuck with me. They seem simple to write, but they are actually quite deep, and can hold several levels of meanings.
Yes for sure I just listened to shook ones last night again. I can’t believe prodigy was only 19. It’s mind boggling. He even says it himself “I’m only 19 but my mind is old, and when things get real my warm heart turns cold” like I think of my self as a old soul but these dudes were just on a whole other level.
This song will never die. Forever a classic.
Yair the 🐐
Yeah like 100 years later, I think this song will probably still be listened to! :)
No Doubt!!! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
@midnitesquirldog1 That was so succinct and well put, wow. U have skills. Might have to steal it lol
P.s. Msnbc/CNN/ABC programming is very well ingrained in specific communities smh. Trump getting canceled was a huge mistake imo. Dems might have overplayed their hand a bit. Can't underestimate social media influence amongst millennial generation. Silencing someone is no joke...might make some say hhmmm..
@1:11 growing up I always thought she's saying, "black times in the world". The implication being a newspaper purely for black people.
and we'll WALK RIGHT UP TO THE SUN HAND IN HAND!!!
Nas was just different.
Still is.
Rap monster.
Poetic ruler.
Pure genius flows.
Definitely one of the best ever no question
absolutely well said
❤
@@staygold902 2pac,Nas and Eminem, big trio
yeah he is on top lyrically but not that impressive with his flow, still good tho-

Evergreen
You can’t change anything until the community takes responsibility for its own actions. Present day we all expect to be given anything at anytime. NAS was saying we have to work for it.
Exactly!.... now go listen to TUPAC he goes even Deeper
So blessed to have been a 90’s kid.
Hell yea
Ya'll lucky 😂 Id still rather 90s music over new music lol
@@houyaaa5214 just play that shit on repeat or spotify

Facts
This is why Nas is one of the greatest rappers of all time
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Classic Nas lauryn Hill
24 years ago today, Nas released “If I Ruled The World” with Lauryn Hill
💚
Its elementary they want us all gone eventually. Cryptic message for today
22 years ago pac heard all that sneak dissin and flipped this beat into troublesome 96
And most of ya not knowing this song sample from friends which the beat is🔥🔥
Ahhh Thank You for that. I’m a little late for the anniversary- but thanks to you, I now enjoy the song more. I’m going for round 2 with happiness! Thank you!
Lauryn Hill is honestly one of the most remarkable artists to have set foot on this planet, she just goes so well with any beat and any rapper. Nas is easily one if the best rappers from this era no doubt.
This was the best of the best. NAS was on point
Real talk !!!!
Facts!!!
It’s not even about era…Nas has a claim to being the greatest rapper ever across any era.
@@brandonrice2833 Nah man times change, and with that so does what’s popular. Now the numbers Nas does will be completely different to who ever is top of the league currently.
I'm finally listening to this on a good stereo system, and never before did I hear Lauryn Hill's harmonizing during the verses. Absolutely beautiful
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
wait what I never noticed that 🤯
This a generational song! 90’s kids will pass this down to there kids and it’s just going to keep going.

Top 5 Rappers Of All Time -
1. Nas
2. Jay Z
3. Notorious BIG
4. Kendrick Lamar
5. Stann Smith
Let me know If I Missed Someone Below
Phfffffffffffffffffffff
Rakim/ Eminem should be there before Jay z
Kanye JayZ Wayne Gates Durk!! That is mine live!
Get off of the East Coast’s genitals bruh
Pac
The thing about Nas is he's sold over 40 million albums, he's critically acclaimed, known as being one of the top 5 hip hop artists ever and he's still underrated. Many of you will say otherwise but if I asked you who the best 5 NBA players are of all time and you said Jordan is 5th, that would be the type of underrated I'm talking about.
Very accurate my friend.
...What? As a ball fan and a hip-hop fan, that analogy was horrible😂Michael Jordan is in everybody's top 3 at least. Tbh, you should've compared Nas' underrated thing to Larry Bird, who people tend to overlook despite his amazing career. And then even calling Nas underrated is just blasphemy😂😂cause he is most definitely isn't underrated. He may not be mainstream, he may not be as known as guys like Tupac, Biggie, and Eminem, but in the hip-hop world the dude is touted as top 3 all the time. Rakim or Big L honestly would've been better examples😂those guys are all-timers yet overlooked by many as usual. Nobody says Jordan is only 5th best ever, and anybody who isn't ignorant knows that Nas is not underrated. I don't agree with this personally, but we all entitled to our opinion tho
@@ch.illmatic He Gave The Right Example
Gamer KS Jordan was not s good example
@@ch.illmatic it was
Nas is an incredible poet. This song was awesome and makes me feel nostalgic for my youth when this used to play on the radio pretty regularly. Happy Juneteenth and Happy Father's Day to everyone!
Fuck a juneteeth. Does that apply to me? I'm white, been it, lived it, so am I out back? Why is everything black and white? If it was so why are so many black men dating white women.?I just like the poetry.
People think that Tupac is the most influential rapper, Nas is WAY more influential. W Nas
"they want us all gone eventually"
Hits harder in 2021 more than ever
You're not kidding. Get out there and vote next year, people. Vote for the people who will fight for you, not against you.

@@malloryg4251 dumb comment u think voting will help u? Everything is all planned.
40 year old white guy here. This was the first rap song I ever listened to. Who woulda known back then how much of a classic it would turn into
@1:11 growing up I always thought she's saying, "black times in the world". The implication being a newspaper purely for black people.
@@aceboogiellr oh man don't tell me Lauryn Hill has had a sex change?!
You shoulda known:)
I'm same age. I also teach lyrics writing. This is simply one of the best songs in history.
@@kameelsabri2382 that’s funny man I’m pretty sure I thought the exact same thing!
"And then we'll walk right up to the sun hand and hand" "we'll walk right up to the sun we won't land" ☀️ so much truth in that verse if you know you know💯
I'm at work and this song came on the radio and I'm bobbing my head, I'm a 61 year old white dude
I was walking down the street than Lauren hill angelic self popped in my head. Lmfao y’all have a good one to whoever sees this. Real music
I agree with you try th-cam.com/video/tZ9ImwgJ-b4/w-d-xo.html
At the time.. when Nas said "imagine smokin weed in the streets without cops harrassing"
I really felt that.
Mm you can smoke weed in NY..
@@xMaxLoverx1 at that time, you couldn't. Hence... imagine. Twas nothing but a day dream. Something we would talk about.
@@tiagodias6737 BIG FAcTz Bro that part cuz when this song came out you couldn't so many of us were being incarcerated for it , fake ass War on Drugs . I'm happy he's still alive to at least see that part come true
Bring back this kind of music for our younger generations. Such a vibe ❤
Easily the greatest rap song ever made if you relate to it on a spiritual level and can really understand what it’s about. Hoping for a better life and working by any means possible to achieve that life. God bless Nas man.
With my personal background, I couldn't relate less to it. Still think it's awesome, there are just two other hip hop songs I hold in similarly high regard. That's the magic of a true piece of art like that: it's brilliant on ALL levels.
@@Volkbrecht can I ask, what are the other 2 songs?
Greatest rap song ever made? No hyperbole there!
Blud hasnt heard of lil pump
This is a masterwork. Utterly timeless, always relevant, and only gets better with time.
well said Stephen!!
A true Magnum opus
and thats a fact!
Greatest rapper ever
over bigggy and tupac don't know about that
The piano tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The GOAT Nas
This is the highest tier of “black music” to me. this song really made me feel proud to be black as a kid
What other songs make you feel like that?
Should b proud no matter what xxx
Tf
Its like me saying "im a proud to be a man bcuz of Albert einstein" and using that logic i should feel ashamed bcuz of hitler and stalin what?
@@Pac-vz1gq relax 😂😂
Nas! One of the best artist I’ve ever heard. He deserved more! I think he is underrated! His voice has something special and you feel that he is singing with his heart ❤️ I love that. I wish I could make a song with him one day 🙏
How is a legend underrated
i agree but he really aint underrated, except now i guess
But he's not underrated. He is regarded as one of the best hip hop artists of all time..
He aint underrated...
To anyone that knows and loves old school rap knows Nas is a legend and one of the best of all time.
Its just that people listen to fkin 6ix9ine and lil pump etc like theyre good. Got 0 taste in music
@@ignlmao Exactly! I Mean It's A Complete Shame.....
Best era of hip hop ever always has n always will be 💯💯💯
Nas will forever be one of the greatest
2021 anyone? I remember being a teenager when this came out I fucking loved this shit.
Yes, had a crush on miss Hill, oooh man
Me too. Great song. I don't even like hip hop but these songs brings back memories from the teenage years
Nas & Lauren Hill , One of Hip-hop n RnB's nicest collaboration's EVER !

I WAS 15 WHEN THIS ALBUM DROPPED. THE WORLD WAS A DIFFERENT PLACE... THIS ALBUM WAS PURE 🔥!!! WAS PLAYING IN EVERY TAPE DECK AND CD PLAYER IN THE TRI-STATE AREA ALL SUMMER... IM STILL HERE AT 42! NAS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE GREATEST STORY TELLERS AND MURDEROUS LYRACIST TO EVER DO THIS THING. The kids just dont understand how SERIOUS HIP HOP WAS WHEN PEOPLE WERE GETTING MURDERED OVER WHAT THEY LISTENED TO!!!
No one cares😂
One of the best beats
similar to 2pac troublesome 96
I took this beat and whooped his ass with his own beat
Had to come back after listening to NOBODY, it's timeless great to see them give us another classic.
Yes. This🙌🏾
Facts
👍🏻😉
Muh
Real!
How i be looking at my PC after i loose the easiest 1VS1....
Lauryn Hils voice was perfect for this song,I cant think of anyone else whos voice would've fit this song better than hers ❤❤❤
Nas's song tho and nas is way better on it she sings 5 words he doesn't repeat one word
@@albertallen8976 no shit, that wasn't the point the point was Lauren's voice is perfect for the hook.
Nas forever been a lyrical genius
“We’ll wall right up to the sun, hand and hand.” Shit still gives me chills
This was the song as we entered to my best friend Ryan Bullen’s funeral. Aged only 36 taken to young but his sister Ros chose this song as the first to be played, great choice Ros Ryan would be very happy. Love you Ryman x
I grew up rapping these words before I knew what most of them meant. The knowledge it grew me into is ill.
Hardest comment i seen in a while.
You’re right man it is ill-matic
A true blessing! And he maintained neutral during the worst time for hip hop artists during East coast West coast BEEF!!!
Likewise bro
Facts
“Imagine smoking weed in the street without cops harassing, imagine going to court with no trial”
Well #1 will happen at some point. #2 would be terrible for people innocent of a crime
Now it’s legal in NY

ICONS OF HIP HOP. BLESSED. ALL THE GREAT MUSICAL GOATS.RESPECT.
Baaaeeeeehhhhhhhhhh😂
One of the best songs ever
Nas was such a blessed brother. I hope he's achieved everything that he set out for. These songs were some of my favorite inspirations growing up. The dreams of man, and the pain of reality. He could have what he willed if that was his dream.
He still IS, do your research, sir
Was? 😂
I remember the first time I heard this song. In the parking lot of the Columbia Mall in Columbia, MD June 4, 1996. Hit like a comet I had to stop and just soak it all in. What a moment. *eyes water*
Damn U heard it as a single before the album was released? Solid
I miss Columbia mall, i miss Maryland. Used to live right down the street on Harpers Farm
Marylander here man that's dope! I was 7 then but I could only imagine bro
I remember a couple of winters ago,I was going thru sum shit n I pulled this up ! N it hit me like a Train n tons of Bricks! Nostalgic! Good Song 🎵 My Favorite song of Nas'
I was 28days old tt time but still enjoyin d song
Life life then I imagine. Nas is pretty good. One of his best songs
Wish people believed

Honestly, why can’t they make these anymore? Killer beat and lyrics
They make mumble rap and other music like that famous. Now their growing up listening to that stuff, there's no going back now. We gotta live through mumble rap and trash lyrics that tik tok's gonna make famous
@@mercilessagent005 I literally clicked reply to say that sadly Mumble Rap has replaced the lyrical masterpieces we grew up listening to, and as much as we may want them to come back, it's not likely to happen. The silver lining in that cloud is that we can easily hop on the internet and enjoy our music that way.
Beat is actually from whodini friends nas just took it made remake versiom himself
This ah east coast beat. The mainstream right now is mostly the south and Midwest. Sadly it’s not alot of lyrical rappers
@@mercilessagent005 Thing is, whatever the popular fads are, people sooner or later find quality. An astonishing number of youngsters is still finding their way to the great rock bands of the 70s, even now when the artists are old quite a few even dead already. And I'm sure in other genres it's the same: you listen to what is played around you, but once you discover true quality, that's what will stick with you.
I feel blessed to have lived through this music. Love being a 90s kid!!
I love you for saying that. God bless you !
Man I love this community
I was ten when this song came out and it’s still as epic now as it was then ❤️
Like 25 to life never crossed they mind ‼️troublesome 96 Tupac
one of the best songs ever imho, incredible beat, amazing verses, immaculate, soulful, and beautiful hook by Lauryn Hill, just astounding.
Still living for today in these last days and times...
How prophetic all these years later. It feels like 2021 we're living in the last days.

Nas so underrated when it comes to rankings.. He's for sure a Top 3-5 Rapper of all time. could argue #1. His wordplay and delievery was crazy!!
Great storyteller too
What are you talking about? He is almost always among the top 5-10 greatest rappers on the the list given by so called "greatest rappers"
@@nefariousaquarius5584 but he’s underrated. People forget the impact he had after releasing Illmatic. Honestly the goat for me. He’s the complete MC and he kicks knowledge in his rhymes lots of the time.
First Nas song I ever heard . 17 years old in 1996 and I've been hooked on Nas since then . "If I Ruled The World" we'd still have this kinda Hip Hop
#IfIRuledTheWorld #FreeWORLD💖🌎🌍🌏 #NAS This Song🎶 Reminds mi of my Buddy Fernando King👑 a Half Black/Mexican Who Could DANCE! Taught mi 2 Dance! 👟 He committed Suicide when I was in #USMC ..He was supposed to go 2 Marines on Buddy Program with mi..💔 #FreeAfrica🌍🙌🏿💪🏿✊🏿💯🖤♠️🎼👸🏾👑
It was a very violent and dangerous time. The Creative and Genius Music from the Artists was being overlooked and sidelined by the Tabloid Fueled "East Coast vs. West Coast Rap Wars" Which was I think just as confusing to the Artists as the rest of the World. 2 Great Iconic Artists lost their lives but imo I don't think the murders were related but intended to look related.
Edit: and those who listened to his music the generation they spoke to,These Comgressional Committees thought that these men were bragging. 'Bragging, perhaps because they were disenfranchised for *generations* and the Streets started speaking
I'm just a white girl from the South these are all just...just opinions from the Outside Looking In..., I will never understand what they went through but I sure as fuck will listen to their Art and what they have to say.
First Nas Song I ever heard . 13 years old in 2016 and I’ve been hooked on heroin since then . “If I Ruled The World” we’d still have this kinda Hip Hop
We do still have this kind of Hip Hop. It's right here :) Honestly, I love how we can conserve art, and how the tec to replay it has become ever smaller and more convenient. Great times wherever you go :)
15 in 1996 my fav album ever
