Rich Boy - Ghetto Rich (Remix) ft. John Legend, Lil' Wayne & Nas
Artist: Rich Boy
Featuring: Lil Wayne , Nas , John Legend
Producer: Polow da Don
Album: Self-Titled
Label: eOne
As Mobile, Alabama-native, Rich Boy prepares his sophomore album (tentatively titled Buried Alive), a better-late-than-never, remixed version of Ghetto Rich has been properly released. Following Throw Some D’s, Boy Looka Here, Good Things and Let’s Get This Paper, it is clear what direction RB will be taking with his music in 2008. Intact from the original are Rich’s first verse, the singing of John Legend and a sharp beat from Polow da Don; added to heighten the quality-level are two of the game’s best lyricists, Nas and Lil’ Wayne. Since the Heart of Dixie has been a centerpiece to African-American history, Rich Boy’s Southern roots are a fitting release to help kick off Black History Month.
This song first appeared on the

Damn, Weezy lit it up. You can hear the pain in his voice, it's nice hearing him talk passionately about something other than eating, drinking, smoking, or having sex. Nas has a solid verse, I think Weezy makes this remix.

 i really liked the original song but this is one case where i think the remix is better and adds something to the original track...john legend is one of my favorite r&b singers (along with anthony hamilton) and his soulful voice goes along perfectly with the solemn theme of the song...not a huge lil wayne fan but he really really surprised me on here...he actually spoke about some substance...nas doesnt have the catchiest lines or typical verses but he can tell a story with the best of them...great track

Wow. This song is deep. I love this. I hope that Wayne verse is a sign of things to come with Carter III coming closer. I swear he just keeps getting better. He can change his flow to fit any song.

Rich boy really rips this right here, very good lyrics. The Chorus is REALLY Sick by John Legend! You add a Lil Wayne verse (a damn good one with serious emotion) and NAS verse and honestly...You have an instant classic!!!

The question is.... WHO IS THE BEST MC ON THIS SONG? My vote goes for Weezy, but RB or Nas also rip it up.

The Original Song Only with Johny Legend is already a banger.. so imagin a song that is already very good,and you ask the service of mr.''Lil Wayne'' for the remix..This one deserve 5/5

Ya I think Lil Wayne is the best MC on this song. That verse is unbelievable. He tells a story in such an unusual way. Nas' verse is great, but keep in mind that Nas sits down and writes all his bars down and edits them, whereas Weezy keeps all that shit stored in his head.

All three do amazing on this. This is classic stuff. Lil Wayne ripped that, but I love Nas so I have to shout out some special mentions for him. I love the chorus too, and Rich Boy was incredible on this too. Lots to say; everything positive.

Hell of a song. However, I'm dissapointed to see people leaving the props to Legend, Weezy, and Nas alone. Rich Boy rips this song and I wish people would recognize him as well. That being said, I think is probably my favorites Wayne verses, hits so hard.

Rich Boy has some really tough songs. I thought Lets Get This Paper was one of the best songs of the year. This one is the best ive seen on here in a while.

Wayne and Nas are definitely on his level for this song, but if you read the comments above you'll see most people leave Rich Boy out of the acclaim and give credit to the featuring artists instead.

It's because naturally, Nas and Wayne would excel him, though all three (four) artists here just do amazing.

heh, I'm probably in the minority but I've liked all his singles. In terms of songs he's featured in though, they do tend to suck. Like J-Ville said too, Lets Get This Paper was out of this world hardcore.
