Interesting facts and trivia about It Ain't Hard to Tell. By Songfacts®.

This uses a sample from Michael Jackson's song Human Nature from his Thriller album.

The video is a tribute to Wild Style, which was the first movie about Hip-Hop culture. Nas shot some of the video on the same stage used in the final scene of the movie.

Nas told Rolling Stone: "That was one of the records that jump-started the commercial success for me on my first album, the Michael Jackson sample ['Human Nature']. That was my introduction to the world, my first official single, so I had to do that."
