Nas InterludeLauryn Hill

Featuring: Nas

[Intro]
Yo, what up? This is Nas with the official (-), J. Period
"If I Ruled the World" was originally a Kurtis Blow record
You know? Somebody who I love and saw him in crèche school
And his song wit' "These are the breaks"...
I used to breakdance to his music, you hear what I'm sayin'?
So "If I Ruled the World" was a tribute to him
And also speakin' out to the world
And, um, I used to work wit' the Fugees on tour
And, you know, they would open up for me wit' our first albums
And our second albums, it flipped
And he sold, like, you know, thirty million albums
And I'm — now I'm openin' up for them
So, um, we was — we was cool like that
And, you know, Lauryn came and got on the record
Who I felt was — would make the record even more incredible
Me and her, I really appreciate her work
And, um, and talked to her well
You know, not just my projects, but every projects in December
Everywhere in the world
So I thought that would be the perfect record

[Outro]
If I ruled the world
Still living for today in these last days and times

Lauryn Hill

As one of the founding members of Fugees, Lauryn Hill has spit her truthful lyrics unlike any female rap artist in history. Being as informative as she is inspiring, Lauryn has received monumental success with her solo albums going multi-platinum.

Her classic, critically acclaimed debut album Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went outside of the box for female rappers of her kind, making listeners think about greater causes in their community and how to be a powerful female without selling yourself short. The album also proved to be a huge landmark in rap, as it combined rap, r&b and neo-soul into a unique and beautiful mixture, full of different religious stories and concepts.

Although she retired after the success of her debut, mostly due to her child, Lauryn continued to make appearances at different shows (including at a concert with Drake in 2014). Shortly after announcing her official retirement, Lauryn returned to the scene to release MTV Unplugged 2.0, a live album where she explored with folk, departing from her rap/neo-soul style. Hill is also set to perform tracks from Miseducation in 2018 on its 20th Anniversary.
