Catalogue Number:
This song by Nas and Puff Daddy samples "O, Fortuna" by Carmina Burana. When Nas' CD I Am... first came out it was widely popular; however, it was criticized by some for its commercial appeal. In this song, Nas samples a popular classical music song, which is rarely done by rappers. Although the song does sample classical music, it has a very hardcore, gangster rap sound. This suggests that Nas is attempting to add a ghetto feel to classical music, which makes it more appealing for his urban listeners.
