Yes thanks for the replies ima bout to post a double post sorry guys but I'm pissed atm everything I been writing for the past 20 minutes Deleted damn.and yo gov I got everything from Richie Rich and yeah 66Deuce that was some sick one-liners by the boss richie rich.

[Macello]

Richie Rich Info all compiled by me this was off my head no copy and paste here if U want more in depth info tell me on what parts k.


1986-1987
Richie Rich was persauded to become a rapper by one of his friends tha rest is history.

1988-1990
Somewhere during this time The boss ended up hooking up with D-Loc and DJ Daryl and they formed 415.With the help Of J.E.D they end up being on Big League Records,Inc.They ended up releasing many singles and albums in the short time they were together.The first full length album was

41Fivin'

1. 41fivin
2. Snitches & B------
3. Niggas Just Jock Me
4. 415
5. Lavish
6. Tic Tac (Nic Nac)
7. Groupie A-- B----
8. Side Show
9. Court In The Street
10. Call It What You Want 2
11. Ruthless Is Reality
12. Smoke Show

Classic sick album,each track is bumpin' and most would agree.This album was ahead of its time and contained many great funk samples as well.You could see literally see where Snoop Dogg got his style from and he would be the first one to tell you this as well.213 formed and was snoop's version of 415.Many songs on this LP were released before such as The Side Show,Groupie A** Bi*** and snitches and bitches.The Production is handled by DJ Daryl on this (like most Big League Records Inc. releases) with some help from Kirck "Kickin' Kirk" Crumpler.J.E.D served as the executive producer on this album and many other releases as well.This is well to me a classic 5 star album I recommend any hardcore rap fan to listen to it.

There was many singles released during this time and many un-documented as well(I own some that are) but atm I can't really go into it as it would take a long time to talk about them as many were just really well Singles.

The Next album by Big League Records was Richie Rich's own solo album:

Don't Do It

01. Don't Do It
02. Rodney The Geek
03. Fr-- At Last
04. Media Hype
05. The Mic Is Mine
06. Lady Ace
07. Female F.E.D
08. Side Show
09. The Picnic
10. 5MC'S
11. Don't Do It (Long Version)

Don't Do It wasn't as praised as 41Fivin' and wasn't as ahead of its time as far as production goes but hell I love it.Don't Do It was ahead of its time in terms of lyrics and dealed with deeper things instead of the usual gats drugs and ho's talk.Don't Do It was produced by DJ Daryl with some help from Kirck "Kickin' Kirk" Crumpler and J.E.D served as The Executive producer on this album.2 Singles were released Don't Do It and Geeks Revenge(Some might tell you that geeks revenge is a EP I don't really think so I would say its more of a single sorry)Side Show was a previous single for 415's album but was more of a Richie Rich solo cut and was included on Don't Do It.The overall vibe on this album is positive.
5/5 Stars

There wouldn't be a richie rich solo album for awhile as he was soon charged with possession of cocaine and seved jail time.D-Loc as well served for something else but just like richie rich he had a solo album released.415 had to move on and it sucked they released one album without them and soon faded from the scene.

1991-1994
During these years not much is known on rich's contractual status,hell I don't even think he was signed to any label at this time.Richie Rich began to hype himself up with the help from the Bay-Area.He also did some sessions with 2Pac,The Governor,Warren G,E-40 and others.This time period got rich back up on the map.Warren G has stated that 2Pac & Richie Rich made a albums worth of tracks as well.

1995-2001
Richie Rich soon found himself being in the middle of a bidding war between Def Jam Records and Relativity Records.He choose to go on Def Jam.
During this time Richie Rich formed Oakland 41510 Records and Released .....
Half Thang

1. Intro
2. Ruff Neckin
3. Half Thang
4. Busta Phree
5. As Usual
6. 80 Ounces
7. Fuck Dat Nigga
8. Taste Like Shit
9. Cheap Thrill
10. W. Dick
11. Dirde Luv
12.Young Guns
13.Triple Gold

This was released in January 1996 and was a definite classic by the time this came out he was already signed to Def Jam.This album ranks up there with 41Fivin' in terms of Production.Richie Rich owns on this album in every way.Production was handled by Lev Berlak
DJ Daryl.Great album I recommend it to anyone as well.

5/5 Stars

Richie Rich was on many artists tracks during this time such as The Luniz,E-40,2Pac and others.Later Richie Rich dropped another album

Seasoned Veteran

1. Intro (Skit)
2. Funk
3. It's On
4. Let's Ride
5. 30 Minutes (Skit)
6. Real Pimp
7. Guess Who's Back
8. Fresh Out
9. Niggas Done Changed
10. Pillow
11. Check 'Em
12. Real Sh*t
13. Questions
14. It's Not About You
15. Do G's Get to Go to Heaven?
16. Touch Myself (Remix)

Classic album released near the end of 1996 on Def Jam.Whats sad about this great album its only known for that damn 2Pac callabo and tribute dope nonetheless.Production is handled by a variety of producers such as Lev Berlak,DJ Daryl,Rick Rock,Jermaine Dupri and others.3 singles were released and they later had music videos shot for them.This is richie rich's best album to some and really one of his only major releases.Classic album.

5/5 Stars

Richie rich was going to drop another album on called Sprung, but due to politics it didn't happen it kept getting pushed back and there was more to it.Soon Richie Rich left Def Jam.

The album that got delayed eventually he released it on his own.

The Game


This album was originally going to be called Sprung.This album is sick but not as good as his others I still love it though.Production on this album is handled by many such as DJ Daryl,Jazze Pha,Lev Berlak,Mike Dean and others.It had about 3 singles Straight Mail,I Ain't Gonna Do and If.The latter two released when he was on Def Jam.This album went on the charts just as his other releases.It wasn't as popular as his others but wasn't his worst.If this was released right after or around Seasoned Veteran it would have done much better chart wise.

4/5 Stars

.....To Be Continued
