a9AdsViewNamespace.Rich Boy appeared to come out of nowhere with "Throw Some D's", which somehow (and I promise you I don't understand it) became one of rap's athems of 2007, along with Mims' similarly perplexing "This Is Why I'm Hot".True about both is that neither hit feels as strong as some of the predominant rap hits of 2006 ("It's Goin' Down", "Ridin'", "What You Know", "Money Maker", "Touch It", etc...RICH BOY also exhibits this unfortunate truth as the album has more 'potential' than true hit material."Boy Looka Here" continues the downward trend of RICH BOY, though the "southern drawl" is certainly interesting, even if the material isn't first rate."Throw Some D's" is the real meat of RICH BOY, even if it is one of the corniest rap songs I've heard for sometimes.The production is great, which seems to be the trend throughout the album, and one just wishes that Rich Boy would really come by and truly spit some inspired rhymes into the mike.Sure "Throw Some D's" has an ounce of crediblity, especially compared to the earlier tracks off of RICH BOY, but it still doesn't possess a T.Even Lil' Jon's production doesn't save Rich Boy.Again, Rich Boy's accent screams south and even drvies you a bit crazy (or at least annoys you) at times.Despite it's utter aloof nature, "What It Do" features a more potent hook than some of the preceding numbers on RICH BOY.Unfortunately, Rich Boy falls once again into the trap of the uninspired, even if it isn't to the degree of the worst tracks."Touch That A**" proves to be a Polow Da Don production masterpiece, which does make up for Rich Boys BS verses."On The Regular" features a very soulful vocal performance and proves to be a stronger track than most, but honestly, that isn't saying much considering RICH BOY's rushed feel."Gangsta" proves to be very brief, though after listening to less inspired numbers, brief is embraced by the listener."And I Love You" isn't bad, though it lacks enough substance to be 'great'.However, the 1:00+ intro is a bit overwrought without Rich Boy ever uttering a word."Ghetto Rich" features a lovely vocal collab with John Legend, which definitely makes the track worth listening.Rich Boy doesn't sound to shabby himself here."Let's Get This Paper" is too long, but Rich boy sounds more energized than he has for the majority of the album, which is sad considering RICH BOY could've been a better album than what it is (to Rich Boy's credit, there is a hidden track with the nine minute duration).Andre 3000 and "We Fly High" man Jim Jones.Overall, RICH BOY is incredibly uneven.Save for a few gems ("Throw Some D's", "Get To Poppin'" to name a few), RICH BOY isn't great by any means.RICH BOY even more unbearable than if it had only been an hour or fifty minutes ideally.As usual, I agree with Norfeest and Musac Critic's respective reviews.Thus, the problem is that Rich Boy really ain't that great of a rapper.What does that even have to do with the song?Guest stars don't fare very well either."Role Models" and especially "Hustla Balla Gangsta Mack" (but "On the Regular" sounds like a wannabe Jazze Pha song).Rich Boy doesn't really have enough skills to have a lasting impression, so I wouldn't suggest picking this album up.The fact that Rich Boy sounds like his retainer is falling out of his mouth when he's rapping.There are moments where he is simply uninteligible.Polow is a better rapper than him and it really, really shows.The problem is, this isn't a Polow Da Don album (after hearing his work on the boards, I'd like to hear what that would sound like though).The title of this review says it all.There's a ton of skip material on this LP.Everyone else should steer clear of this "album."See all 26 customer reviews...He smooth and not too nasty...Published 3 months ago by Jennifer M.Polow Da Don Presents Rich Boy
