"Rich Is Gangsta" - Over some smooth Black Metaphor production, Ricky flosses his wealth and takes a small shot at rival 50 Cent ("From now on I need 50...I ain't talkin' 50 Cent, neither").(Photo: Charles Eshelman/FilmMagic/Getty Images)"Drug Dealer's Dream" - The wealth talk continues here, as an automated bank-teller voice tells Ross his account balance is more than $92 million before the rapper puffs out his chest and kicks that range from recalling his days "eatin' out of the trash" to shouting out a few strip clubs. (Photo: Chris McKay/WireImage/Getty Images)
