Single: Nas feat. Marsha Ambrosius - If I Ruled The World 2009




Some things are better left undone and some things, well, they leave you not knowing whether they should've not been done or if they'll grow on you....Such is the case here as Nas links up with the sultry and soulful Marsha Ambrosius (of Floetry fame) to update his thought provoking and inspirational hit that he recorded 13 years ago "If I Ruled The World".

Marsha handles the chorus duties well, I can't hate on her performance there and really Nas's verses are pretty well executed/penned too, but un-inspired, simplistic production as well as sort of a distance between Nas and Marsha's chemistry on this record clearly makes the sequel inferior to the first. Sorry kids, nuthin' beats a Mid nineties Nasir teaming up with L Boogie in her prime over one of The Trackmasters illest compositions ever. Listenable, but not somethin that is burn worthy or needs to go into your MP3 player....
