This song saved my life, literally. Back in the 90's, me and the homeboys was on the wrong side of the tracks and we ended up on that gang life shit. We got caught slippin, while I was on my Acura with my lil homie and the rest were on another car who end up getting shot from the opps on Central/60th intersection down in Florence South Central LA. I had this song playing on the stereo and at the same moment Nas was paying homage to Ill Will and all his dead friends from Queens on his second verse, they started to shoot em up. Thanks to God we all survived, and that verse from Nas changed my vision of life, so I ended up doing a 180 turn and went to college.

@@sugs1191 T. R. O. Y was a great song for Pete Rock and CL no doubt but for me this beat for the "World is Yours" just hits me in a special way that is hard to explain. If I had to pick just one beat from the whole 90's decade that could showcase the best elements of hip hop across that whole decade. This track would be my choice.
