I loved the original 1996 "If I Ruled The World" featuring the baddest chick in R&B (back then) Lauryn Hill. Everyone and their mother loved that song and you could hear it bumping out of every one's cars on the highest volume possible to the point that you could hear the car vibrate from a mile away.
Nas headed back in the studio to give us a more modern day "If I Ruled The World" featuring Marsha Ambrosius the young lady from Floetry.
The song still has that xylophone bounce on the track but it sounds a lot more futuristic. I love it. I personally wouldn't compare the original "If I Ruled The World" because I feel they have a different sound and plus Marsha doesn't follow the same pattern Lauryn did. You decide, check out the original below. I will say though, in the original, Nas sounded a lot hungrier and raw.
