"Rule" is the first single from rapper Nas' 2001 album ''Stillmatic''. It features a chorus sung by Amerie and production provided by Poke and Tone of Trackmasters Entertainment. The song is known for both sampling and interpolating "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. The song's lyrics are political, inspiration and reminiscent of those on Nas' 1996 single "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)." It references this song in the beginning when Nas says: "Life, they wonder, can they take me under? Naw, never that." This references the intro to "If I ruled the World (Imagine That)" which is: "Life, I wonder, will it take me under? I don't know." As a single, "Rule" was not heavily promoted, but still reached #67 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. "Got Ur Self A..." is mistakenly thought to be the first single on ''Stillmatic'' because "Rule" was not heavily promoted, did not receive music video treatment and was never released in compact disc format. It was released as a vinyl 12-inch single with "No Idea's Original" as its b-side. It was featured in the 2003 film, ''Honey'', it is also featured on the ''Like Mike'' soundtrack, but includes the edited version. ==Music video== A music video was not filmed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rule (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
