Nas was a contributor to Will Smith’s hit rap song “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It”. Nas also helped compose the songs “Chasing Forever”, “Yes Yes Y’all” and “Just Cruisin'” for Smith. In April 2014 on the social networking site Reddit, Nas finally put the rumor to rest:

“Alright, let’s clear this up once and for all. I hung out with Will in the studio. And watched him write it. It was a fun studio session, and I said a line or two or three to him. It wasn’t that serious. Will Smith wrote that song. But seriously, I watched him have fun making that record on his own, and Will is a true MC.”

The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart from March 14, 1998. It also won a Grammy Award in 1999 for the Best Rap Solo Performance. It was ranked the 68th greatest song of the 1990s by VH1. However, it was ranked at #19 on the list of AOL Radio’s 100 Worst Songs Ever in 2010. The song was included in Pitchfork Media’s 2010 list of “the seven worst U.S. No. 1 singles of the 90s”.
