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.
Listen to Rich Boy's Ghetto Rich (Remix) ft. John Legend, Lil' Wayne & Nas More songs from Rich Boy
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.
Barack Obama for President. Get out and vote people.
Lil Wayne's lyrics on this are the best I have ever heard from him, this song is straight straigh fire. The original was already the shit, but this is immense! Nas ripped the shit outta this too, damnnnn what a tune!
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!!!
like i said in another post, Polow is fast becomin my fav beat man. such good rhymers w/weezy and nas, and RB had good lyrics too. RB is good sometimes and others jus plain suxxxx but this is dope
from previous comments need not say anymore, Lil Wayne has amazing decriptions in his verse and Rich Boy and Nas are good to, throw JL into it and you get something called Ghetto Rich, definately one for the collection, DJ Booth is on fire today!
I dont see how anyone can rate this anytihng less than classic....Rich Boy smashed his verse....Wayne really surprised me with his verse HE HAS TO BE THE BEST ALIVE and Nas got sick with his...oh yeah and John broght that vibe and feeling of this song to life
I love it this song is what it is i like it a lot it real true and I love when rappers spit the truth........I just couldn't believe that this was a rich boy track...but its good...its a classic
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.
This song is on fire with the storm a killer in the making i understand the ghetto part this song is a hit and nas plus wyane and legend and a sick beat and u got this
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.
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.
I love PoLow Da Don something about that cocky ass mofo is so damn appealing..I love everything he does.. Yea this song is hot..and the intro is my fav part!
"i could never win an Oscar..cuz i dunno how to act/
..saw my first million $ and i ain know how to act/
then the second million came..then mo' came after that..then mo cam after that. hurricane after that DAMN!!"...straight classic
Best track from Richboy to date, mainly cause of the fantastic features! weezy is great as usual, john legend fits perfectly with the r&b chorus, and Nas is still one of the best rappers alive! looking forward to the sophomore album.
Man rich boy ripped it but listen to nas! nas and wyne are equal because nas ripped that shit him and wyne on the same level on this song! fuck it man wany blew me away but for anybody that said nas was decent or solid is crazy and lil wayne did not make this song the music itself speaks!!!!!!
Pretty dope, but personally i think it woulda been better if weezy's verse came after nas's.
Im not hating on nas - i love the dude, but weezy's verse was a tough act to follow n nas came up a bit short on this one, so i gotta give it a 4/5
Excellent song... Weezy spittin substance... Rich boy rippin it... Nas showin his story tellin ability( he is among the best along with both dudes from outkast and scarface) And john legend with a great(non t-pain machine using) hook... Classic like Air force ones... Real talk
i could never win a oscar couse i dont know how to act so on my first million dollars i didint know how to act then the scond million came then mo came after that then mo came after that hurricane after that dam and yall saw the after math and in my hood we dont front so i do give back when you see a hood nigga you got to tealt yo hat since im a hood nigga i do just that.verse is crazy!!
who is the best MC on this track??? I'll tell you who the worst was and that was NOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Song is over and my head is still bobbin..........lol
