If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)

We just want this forever, don't we really? We just want to hear this song.

32 is Naz featuring Lauryn Hill and If I Ruled The World, down five places for a fifth but not final week in the chart yet.

Lauryn Hill's star power augmenting a track of already substantial quality.

Indeed, yes, General Lauryn Hill leading more troops into battle here, it would seem.

She's held senior leadership roles at Paramount, Hearst, Disney, Time, Inc., and several independently owned brands.

Now she has a novel, If I Ruled the World.

Please welcome to the Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Amy Du Bois Barnett.

So nice to be here, Rashawn.

Right.

Everyone's just a little bit wanting to have a great time, which we thoroughly endorse.

Moving on to 16 then is Nas featuring Lauryn Hill in "If I Ruled the World," down four places for a second week in the chart.

Supremely high quality, this.

And, uh-

being gung-ho on learning that song word from word.

Like I was captivated by If I Ruled the World and then the album came out and I believe like my aunt had it and I dug through all her crates and found it and played it.

And that was the first rap album that I listened through front to back and wanted to understand exactly what a rapper was talking about.

Instead of just being a kid and hearing it like, oh, I like the music, I like the beats.

Um, I, my introduction to him was, uh, It Was Written was the first one I ever got, and I love that album.

The, uh, um, If I Ruled the World with Lauryn Hill was one of my favorite songs for the longest time.

Beautiful song.

I just loved it.
