As I have spent the last week with Nas’ new album on repeat I felt it was only fair game to give the present time Life Is Good rapper the Throwback Thursday spot with his back in the day Illmatic hit “The World Is Yours.” The song is said to be one of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever recorded and with Nas on the mic you obviously know why. He is one of the greatest Hip Hop artists of the last two decades and definitely one of the greatest of all time. The song and video pays tribute to the movie Scarface and its famous quote “The World Is Mine” that will live forever. "The World is Yours" was also known for the foundation of what use to be the Jay-Z and Nas feud when Jay-Z sampled it on his first single "Dead Presidents", using one of Nas’ lines "I'm out for presidents to represent me" as the chorus. Since then feuds have passed but one thing has remain constant the album in which this song was given life from is still one of the best Hip Hop albums to have ever been created and so is this song.
