I personally feel like DP 2 is more memorable than The World Is Yours. It has a better and more lasting legacy. The beat of DP is way better than the beat of The World Is Yours.
Better song: Dead Presidents 2 or The World Is Yours?

World Is Yours is one of those iconic, flawless rap songs with universal appeal. You could play it for a baby or someone who doesn’t know English and they’d still feel it. Jay doesn’t have a song like that anywhere in his catalog besides maybe Empire State of Mind

Dead Presidents is a dope record but it wouldn't even exist without The World Is Yours
When I created a playlist for the Nas vs Jay verzuz, that was an easy matchup
I think they both are dope records, but the way Nas rhymes on The World Is Yours...dude was born to spit
Jay can flow naturally, but the way Nas puts words together is evident on a track like The World Is Yours
Dead Presidents was a single that didn't generate "serious" buzz...The World Is Yours was a classic then and a classic now

Empire State of Mind was him chasing a hit and biting off of a Nas concept
I hate when Jay does that sh*t

TWIY by far. This is coming from a Californian. I was young but i remember how my brothers and their friends would play that track and spin illmatic like crazy
dead presidents was a random song that kept coming on the box, most folks was not moved by that shyt, it was lost in the shuffle and didn’t become a track the whole of hip hop fans even thought about until Jay (who was by then a superstar) dropped takeover and went on that campaign to rebrand RD as a classic

Whose world is it? 
I actually didn’t like it at the time but it was everywhere in NY. I was in Times Square one night over the summer and saw a white boy scream the hook in the middle of the street like the shyt was a movie
It's funny you say that about Dead Presidents. It came out and didn't come on a lot.
It thought the beat was slick and the visuals were on some New York dress code shyt (I'm from deep rural Mississippi. The way other areas dressed was next level to me) so I thought it was cool. But the ONLY thing I could remember about the song was the beat and the Nas hook.
DP is one of my favorite beats of all time so I'm biased.

Lol, that’s how I remember it on the box. I used to turn when it came on until I turned to the box when it was mid video I saw Biggie and AZ (used to have a crush on him) at the poker table and was like “lemme see who this is that got these guys in his video”. And yea, that’s a classic sample, it has been part of some of my favorite songs - total’s it’s gonna rain and MJB take me as I am
