"If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" is a song by American rapper Nas featuring fellow American rapper Lauryn Hill, released on June 4, 1996 as the first single from his second album, It Was Written (1996). Produced by Trackmasters, with some uncredited input by Rashad Smith, it is based on the 1985 hit of the same name by American rapper 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. The single marked Hill's first musical appearance outside of the Fugees.

  • If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) is een nummer van de Amerikaanse rapper Nas en zangeres Lauryn Hill uit 1996. Het is de eerste single van Nas' tweede studioalbum It Was Written "If I Ruled the World" is gebaseerd op een nummer met dezelfde naam van rapper Kurtis Blow uit 1985, en bevat ook een sample van het nummer "Friends" van rapgroep Whodini. Het nummer werd in een aantal landen een (bescheiden) hit. In de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100 had het nummer niet zoveel succes met een 53e positie.

  • If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) è il primo singolo tratto da It Was Written, secondo album del rapper Nas. Realizzato con la collaborazione di Lauryn Hill, cantante e rapper del gruppo The Fugees, il brano contiene campionamenti da Friends dei Whodini e cita l'idea di If I Ruled the World, brano del 1984 di Kurtis Blow. Il testo illustra infatti cosa avrebbe potuto fare Nas "se avesse comandato il mondo e tutto quello che c'è dentro". Il ritornello, cantato da Lauryn Hill, si rifà invece a Walk Right Up to the Sun dei The Delfonics. (it)
