Rich Boy Explains New Album Title
Rich Boy shed some light with XXL about the title of his sophomore album, Resurrected In Diamonds and its lingering release.
XXLMag.com: Is there a name for the album yet?
Rich Boy: It’s called Resurrected in Diamonds cause it’s like you know, Africans were rich in Africa. They had diamonds, gold, and all that shit, so we lost the ball when we were put into slavery. But now you see niggas gettin’ it back, like diamonds and shit rollin’ wit they crew.
XXLMag.com: So you’re trying to reach out into your heritage for this album?
Rich Boy: I named my album Resurrected in Diamonds because like in Alabama, niggas are the last ones to kinda get the ball. We just need to reawaken ourselves and you know, pick up and handle business as men and get some of this money out here. I need to see more Black billionaires. I’m not racist or anything; I just feel like a Black man just need to get a billion… That’s why I named it that and that’s why I talk about flashy shit ‘cause a nigga needs some nice shit… It’s just getting the ball back. You might lose it, but you’ll get it back you know.XXLMag.com: Do you have a drop date for the album yet?
Rich Boy: I don’t have a date yet, but what I’m hoping for is, at the latest, first quarter of next year, but I’m shootin’ for fourth quarter [of this year]. I just wanna warm up in the fourth quarter and then come out in the first quarter [of next year].
Damn Rich Boy still alive? His first album wasn’t that bad to be real but this nigga just dropped of the face of the earth after that tho.
^didnt he release another album after that I could be wrong tho
And this is why people think rappers are idiots… Let’s just say Rich Boy came up with that album title for no reason, why is he giving a circular answer that explains nothing whatsoever?
@Iceyjesse
As far as I know I think he just release a few mixtapes but I’m not sure.
the problem is, in africa we strained the earth for it’s resources, took what we needed, and gave the rest back to cultivate that earth.
now we just buy everything from white men. sorry, rich boy, my nigga. but you got it confused bruh bruh.
IF U GONNA TALK ABOUT AFRICA AND THE HERITAGE AND TELLIN’ BLACK MEN IN ALABAMA WAKE UP, BE MEN, AND GET MONEY, THEN I DON’T WANT ANY TALK OR SEE VIDEOS ABOUT RIMS, GUCCI & PRADA, HALF NAKED CHICKS, AND POPPIN’ CHAMPAGNE!!!! IF U WANNA GET SERIUOS AND ENLIGHTEN THEN DO IT!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
there was a black man billionaire, he exploited black people with a television network, but he lost half his money and has ONLY 500 million
he got the right album title but he need to make sure he put some substance on it…but rich boy is good rapper.
@ money mitch
COSIGN!!!! HA!!!! SO FUCKIN’ TRUE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Why are people acting like Rich Boy doesn’t make music with substance? I’m confused, please do your research and go listen to Let’s Get This Paper from his first album one of the realest songs to come out in a long ass time! Dude even shot a video for it out of his own pocket even though they didn’t play it on popular music channels! Give dude a break and stop judging him based off a few songs that you heard…
“and i love you” is possibly one of my favorite songs EVER.. such a dope beat and with big boi on it.. how can you go wrong? pastor troy? niiiiiiiiiiiiice… Rich boy > Drake(i mean come on andre at least spit over throw some d’s on that bitch.. hasnt spit over any of drakes lackluster “anthems”) seriously Drake is so lame.. such a boring flow that a bunch of canadians and uninformed rap fans like.. if your uner 18 and you like drake its cool.. over 18? your a tool..
he a one hit wonder and had one ok song with nas..
ha.. he po’ boy now so he tryin any gimmick he can to sell some records.. he shoulda struck while the iron was hot.. well atleast luke warm.. no buzz now.. nigga just considered a one hit wonder by most. niggas gotta stop listening to A&R’s and labels and keep their name out there.. he shoulda pushed mixtapes and all that atleast till the next album dropped.. now its OVER.. you can’t get it back. another flop on the way.
THROW SOME D’S ON THAT BITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yo fam, you have got to give it up for RICH! I knew dude back in high school and he’s no dummy like most of the rap stars that have come out of the south in the past few years! His debut was one of the best albums that came out that year. I just wish the label would let him drop another album quicker but, that’s the game.

I THINK WITH PROPER TRAINING RICH BOY COULD TRAIN CIRCUS TIGERS
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!
Wow Rich Boy, I never would have questioned how stupid you are till you try to open up your mouth and say some real shit. What is this nigga been doing to help people out. This muthafucka knowns nothing. He actually said “and that’s why I talk about flashy shit ‘cause a nigga needs some nice shit..” LMAO!! You woulda talked about that regardless. This fucker don’t talk about anything else. Claiming intelligence threw ignorance is not gonna get your records sold. Please somebody come out and bash this muthafucka to pieces.. Petition starting today to stop Rich Boy from talking!! 1 person signed.

YALL HATiNG ON RiCH BOY…HE GRiNDiNG GETTiN HiS PAPER…WHATCHALL DOiN???? ON THE iNTERNET TALKiN SHiT
@money Mitch exactly how did bob Johnson exploit black people? The dude started BET with his own money he had quality programming bet tonight teen summit bet news and you know what happened you motherfuckers didn’t watch it. So when those shows aren’t on anymore it’s a problem get the fuck outta here. Bob is a business man his job isn’t to raise your kids if you don’t like the shot on bet don’t watch. I got a lot of respect for dude he definitely is the American dream. Y’all niggas love complaining and hate doing! I fuck wit what you were saying Rich Boy!
^^^^^quality programming??? Get real!!!
Yea i guess u wanna call him the american dream because he is a black man that didnt do anything for the real ppl out there. No quality program was made from him. Those bullshit shows u said and did u really just say Teen Summit???!?!?!?! WTF get real fucker. He should have put some real shit on that network and to this day aint nothin realer then the mick vick show. eveyrthin else is bs. Lets see some good shit. They wont even air boondocks on that shit. Why?!?!?! Because there to scared of what people are going to think of them if they do air that show?!?!?!? If any network that is supposed to support the black culture. Why not air one of the most informative and funny shows out there?!?!?!? Becuzzzzz fuckers BET sucks balls!!!! Thats Why!!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
Hollywood you dumb the first show out of you mouth is Boondocks????? Fuck outta here that’s my shot but how would that make Bet have quality programming. You probably to young to remember teen summit and bob johnson doesn’t own bet anymore so he’s not the one making programming decisions dickhead
Rich Boy isn’t the brightest, but damn his first album was dope.
Rich boy sucks always did always will. Having a beat that many people remix does not make yoiu good it make your dj or producers good for picking and making the beat. ALso every answe he gave was repetative and moronic so whoever here says hes smart might as well hop on this next cd and go further down the chain of life and respect like him.
The truth is Africa should be the richest place in the world but because of their corrupt government they cannot get ahead.
