“If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)” is the 1996 hit single by Nas featuring Lauryn Hill of The Fugees; taken from Nas’ second album It Was Written.
The song is based on the 1985 hit of the same name by old school Hip Hop legend Kurtis Blow and samples the beat of “Friends” by Whodini. Lauryn Hill’s verse interpolates the song “Walk Right Up To The Sun” by The Delfonics.
