Rich Gang is the first compilation album by Young Money and Cash Money as the supergroup Rich Gang. The album was released July 23, 2013 by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records. The album contains contributions from several YMCMB members, including Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, Mack Maine, Tyga, Limp Bizkit, Mystikal, Bow Wow, Jae Millz, Ace Hood, Cory Gunz, Gudda Gudda and Caskey. The compilation also features guest appearances from artists outside the labels, including Future, French Montana, T.I., Rick Ross, Game, Flo Rida, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Yo Gotti and Meek Mill. The album was supported by the lead single "Tapout" which peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with the R. Kelly featured "We Been On" and "50 Plates" by Rick Ross.

Background

On February 18, 2013, it was announced that YMCMB would be releasing a compilation album under the name Rich Gang, titled Rich Gang: Flashy Lifestyle on May 21, 2013.[1] On May 5, 2013, it was announced that the album would be pushed back until June 25, 2013.[2] In May 2013, during an interview with MTV News, Birdman said even though the project will be released on Cash Money Records, it will feature music from non-YMCMB stars as well, stating: "We have other artists like Future, who is not signed to us but a part of us. French Montana, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and all these [guys] are friends that we rock with and call on. A lot of business we do don't necessarily have to be about money, it's about relationships and this is about people that we have relationships with."[3] On June 10, 2013, the album cover was released and it was pushed back again until July 23, 2013.[4]

It was reported that the album would contain appearances by YMCMB members Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, Mack Maine, Tyga, Limp Bizkit, Mystikal, Bow Wow, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, Caskey, Ace Hood and Kevin Rudolf. Artists outside of the record label that were reported to be working on the album included Future, French Montana, T.I., 2 Chainz and Meek Mill in June 2013.[5] The final tracklist revealed additional features from Rick Ross, Game, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, R. Kelly, and Yo Gotti.[6] Notably Drake was the only artist from YMCMB announced to be on the album, yet not to appear. Birdman addressed this with MTV saying, "Drake was recording out the country and also he wants to “hold on” for the upcoming Big Tymers album.[7]

On June 10, 2013, Cash Money Records released a press release announcing the album's release date, saying: “Without a doubt, this album is one of the best group albums to date. I guarantee that it will be in rotation on every club, at every party and coming out of the speakers of every car, ” said Ronald "Slim" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money Records. Slim's brother and partner Bryan “Birdman” Williams, added, “YMCMB is a family, and this album is an example of our bond. We are thrilled to come together, partner with some of our closest friends and create something special for our fans. Think of it as an audio present, from our family, to yours.”[8]

Release and promotion

On February 16, 2013, Birdman released a mixtape titled Rich Gang: All Stars, in promotion of the album. It features 24 tracks and appearances from Jae Millz, Tyga, Meek Mill, Mystikal, Mack Maine and Busta Rhymes, among others. The mixtape featured various YMCMB singles such as Drake's "Started From the Bottom", Tyga's "Dope", Ace Hood's "Bugatti", Lil Wayne's "Love Me" and "Rich As Fuck".[9]

Kelly, Birdman and Lil Wayne, and "50 Plates" featuring Rick Ross were released.[15][16]

Upon its release Rich Gang was met with mixed reviews from music critics. David Jeffries of Allmusic gave the album two and half stars out of five, saying "One begins to wonder if Rich Gang the album is simply a scrapped solo album from the label boss, one that was retooled and retitled, then hyped up to look like a Cash Money celebration piece. After all, Young Money superstar Drake is MIA, as is both the usual quality control and Cash Money sense of purpose. Fanatics only; everyone else can grab the singles."[21] Dan Rys of XXL gave the album an L, saying "Rich Gang is not especially lyrical, but that’s not really a shocker; its strengths lie more in its hooks and club appeal, and it’s fully stocked with tracks that demand to be played at ear-shattering and floor-shaking volumes. It’s another all-around solid chapter in the Cash Money canon."[25] Edwin Ortiz of HipHopDX gave the album two and half stars out of five, saying "Rich Gang has its moments, but ultimately does little to establish what is truly compelling of Birdman’s latest signees, as well the executive’s own place in the Rap game. At best, this is a lateral move from their 2009 release We Are Young Money—which isn’t a great indication that their collaborative efforts are progressing. There’s no doubt that this project will have traction with some listeners, but that will based on the names involved and not the quality control (or lack thereof) presented."[24] Chris Dart of Exclaim! gave the album a three out of ten, saying "The scientists at Young Money/Cash Money labs deserve to be congratulated for finally managing to synthesize a safe, rap-based alternative to Ambien. At least, that's what it sounds like they were attempting when they recorded this incredibly boring "super-group" album. It features a large chunk of the YMCMB roster, but almost none of them sound like they want to be there. All the songs on Rich Gang bleed into one another; they all have the same slow-to-mid tempo, overproduced, synth-heavy beats; and almost all the rappers sleepwalk through their verses."[23]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 24,000 copies in the United States.[26] In its second week the album sold 9,600 more copies.[27] In its third week the album sold 6,400 more copies bringing its total album sales to 40,000.[28]
