"If I Ruled the World" from Nas's It Was Written is one of my favorite hip hop/general songs of all time. Honestly, I think It Was Written is a much better album than the quintessential Nas album Illmatic but that's beside the point. This song has the best opening line "Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harrassing." I first heard this song in high school and I considered myself a rebel who smoked a lot of weed and always got fucked with by the local, small town cops. I was like "yeah! fuck those pigs! Nasir!" The song interpolates "Walk Right Up To The Sun" by The Delfonics, which is pretty cool. I just wanted to shout out to this song because it's amazing.
