"The World Is Yours" is a 1994 song by rapper Nas. It was the third single from his debut album ''Illmatic'', released a month after the album. It is considered by some music critics one of the greatest hip-hop songs ever recorded; About.com ranked it seventh greatest rap song of all time.〔(Top 100 Rap Songs (1-10) at About.com )〕 The song was produced by Pete Rock—who also sings the song's chorus—and samples "I Love Music" by Ahmad Jamal and "It's Yours" by T La Rock. It reached #13 on the Hot Rap Singles chart in 1994. The song (including the title) and its accompanying video pay homage to the film ''Scarface''. The song also references drug dealer/crime boss Howard "Pappy" Mason. The song also mentions the serial killer of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, which that went, and still are, unsolved. A remix of the song was produced by Q-Tip featuring similar but new lyrics; both it and the original were released by Columbia Records as singles, and promoted with music videos. ==Samples== Songs that have sampled "The World Is Yours" include: *"Dead Presidents" by Jay-Z. *"Thief's Theme" by Nas. *"Usual Suspects" by Rick Ross featuring Nas and Kevin Cossom *"Jealousy Woes II" by Eminem. *"Thief's Theme" by Jigmastas. *"In Remembrance" & "The World Is... (Below The Heavens)" by Blu & Exile. *"Droga" by Hemp Gru. *"Falling" by 1982 featuring Freddie Gibbs. *"President" by Lil Wayne. *"Better?" by Propellerheads. *"Dead Presidents" by Chamillionaire. *"Dead Prez" by Capital STEEZ. *"Nikes On My Feet" by Mac Miller. * "Dead Presidents" by Logic. * "The World Is Yours" by The Visioneers. * "The World Is Yours" by Elzhi * "My World (Nas Salute)" by Jay Electronica. * "The World Is Yours (Blazo Remix)" by Blazo. * "The World Is Yours / Brooklyn Zoo" by BadBadNotGood. Jay-Z's sample on his song "Dead Presidents", using one of Nas's lines ("I'm out for presidents to represent me") as the chorus, indirectly led to the Jay-Z vs. Nas feud, after Nas refused to re-record his vocals for the Jay-Z song, or to appear in the accompanying video. 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「The World Is Yours (Nas song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
