[Throwback] AZ Ft Miss Jones - Sugar Hill

[god shamgod]

I remember summer 95 over my Uncle's house watching Yo Raps, and this came on, been a fan since.

Never heard Illmatic in full when it came out in 93/94, so it was my first time hearing AZ, I was blown away.

Recorded the video on VHS too, summer 95 was good

This was my other summer 95 jam

Yup this was poppin summer 95 along with wack 10 fo life,bone 1st of tha month,big one more chance remix,so many tears pac.

whats the difference?

"Sugar Hill" is more smoother sonically. "If I Ruled The World" has a darker sound to it. AZ is imaging an escape where Nas is imagining a world where he ran it. If anything, "If I Ruled The World" is Nas's response to his own "The World Is Yours".

youre reaching hard.

both rapping about a fantasy world over popular '80s samples with an r&b singer killing the hook and ARGUABLY stealing the show.

How am I reaching? I stated that they are similar, but still very different. Both are fantasies, but told from different perspectives. Both are 80's samples, but "If I Ruled The World" samples Hip Hop group Whodiini with the chorus borrowing elements from the Kurtis Blow song of the same name and a Delfonics song. If we're talking fantasy raps over '80's samples with an R&B singer killing the hook, the '90's were full of those.
