Completely Random-ass hip-hop question (**CONFIRMED: It's "The Message" PRODIGY69 IS A RAP GOD!! **)

Does anyone remember the video for Nas "If I ruled the world"? Remember how their was this little track at the beginning that was different from the actual song (I never understood where this came from...like 15-45 seconds of some completely different song before the real song kicks in). Does anyone know what that track is? Is it on the album? Because I remember, musically, thinking that beat was better than the actual single. I know it's a longshot, but I just thought I'd ask.

What whaT!
 
The thing that Lauryn Hill "sings"? duuuuu uuuu uuuuuuuu, duuuuuuuuuuu u uu u u uu uuuuuuuuuu u uuuuuuuu?

I'll check to see if this is it...now, keep in mind, I'm not asking what the sample is on the actual I ruled the world track, but what that beginning track (which has nothing to do with the song) is. I think they were in a car or something (like some SUV).

But thanks for the hint!

ah ok, well it's not that song I guess 🙂
 
I just watched the beginning of the video like 5 times and I can't place that song that starts it off. It's got to be one of his singles off his album. Sorry, wish I could be more help.
 
The Message.

Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 Gusto
Your luck low, I didn't know til I was drunk though
You freak niggaz played out, get fvcked and ate out
Prostitute turned bitch, I got the gauge out
96 ways I made out, Montana way
The Good-F-E-L-L-A, verbal AK spray
Dipped attache, jumped out the Range, empty out the ashtray
A glass of 'ze make a man Cassius Clay
Red dot plots, murder schemes, thirty-two shotguns
Regulate wit my Dunn's, 17 rocks gleam from one ring
Yo let me let y'all niggaz know one thing
There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King
 
Only listen-to-able song he ever made. And a good one at that 🙂

Sorry, no help on the random ass track.


Wait, was "the message" the random track before? Cuz if it was thats messed up yo! The Message is the only NAWZ track ive listened to in 3 years, so i woulda been able to place it easily. If its not, I couldnt care less. its 3 am and bed time, w00pty w00t

Hmmm...that'd make sense that it was the track before.

I'll have to check it.

THANKS!

Yeah The Message was the track in the beginning of the video. I like that beat.

Thats why I was asking...I just remember seeing the video back in the day, and thinking the pre-track was better than the actual track.

And that video was one of the first "pimp-shine" vids.

THANK YOU!
