- "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", bolstered by a high-budget music video directed by Hype Williams and designed by visual artist and designer Ron Norsworthy, became Nas's first single to gain mainstream notice. The single reached number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while also peaking in the top 20 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, and on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The song was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. It is considered to be one of the greatest rap songs of all time by many publications. In June 2021, the song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, becoming Nas' first single to achieve this. (en)

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. In de Nederlandse Top 40 haalde het nummer de 9e positie, en in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50 de 21e. (nl)
- 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)
