  • "One Love" is a song by American hip hop rapper Nas, released October 25, 1994 on Columbia Records. It was issued as the fifth and final radio single in promotion of his debut studio album Illmatic (1994). The song was produced and co-written by rapper Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, who also contributed vocals for the chorus line. According to Nas, the title of the song originates from Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician Bob Marley's song of the same name. "One Love" is composed as a series of letters by Nas to his incarcerated friends, describing events that have occurred prior to and after the receivers' imprisonment. "One Love" contains samples of the Heath Brothers' "Smilin' Billy Suite Part II" (1975) and Parliament's "Come In Out the Rain" (1970). In the song's first verse, Nas references fellow Queensbridge emcee Cormega, whose rapping career had been put on hold due to his incarceration during the early 1990s. In 2008, VH1 named "One Love" the forty-eighth greatest hip hop song.
  • One Love è il quinto ed ultimo singolo tratto da "Illmatic",primo album del rapper Nas. Il pezzo è una sorta di lettera indirizzata ai suoi amici incarcerati. Una frase del pezzo è dedicata all'amico d'infanzia Cormega, altro rapper di valore della zona Queensbridge ("What up wit' Cormega?/ Did you see him?/ were y'all together?"). Nonostante tutto, l'amicizia si spezzerà dopo poco tempo in seguito ad alcuni problemi legati al gruppo The Firm. Prima della faida, oggi archiviata, Cormega aveva registrato un altro pezzo intitolato "One Love", nel quale rispondeva alla lettera di Nas. È presente nell'album di Cormega "The Testament". "One Love" contiene un campionamento da "Smillin' Billy Suite" degli Heath Brothers. Il ritornello è cantato da Q-Tip, produttore del pezzo.
