"
Street Dreams" is a 1996 single by American
rapper Nas. The song was
It Was Written's second hit, following the success of "
If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)". "Street Dreams" contains samples from the
Eurythmics recording "
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)",
Linda Clifford's "Never Gonna Stop", and
2Pac's "All Eyez On Me". A remix, including an appearance from
R. Kelly, was released shortly after the original. It featured samples from the
Isley Brothers' "Choosey Lover".
The big-budget video directed by
Hype Williams was an
allusion to the
Martin Scorsese film
Casino. It was filmed in
Las Vegas and featured a
cameo appearance by
Frank Vincent. Perhaps as a show of appreciation, Scorsese later used Nas' "
Thief's Theme" in a scene from his
2006 gangster/cop drama
The Departed.
The song was his first to enter the Top 40, hitting #22. It is his fourth highest charting single to date. It is Nas' most popular single based on its gold certification by
RIAA.
