Richie Rich on 2Pac, Biggie, E-40, '5 On It' Remix, Prison, Oakland (Full Interview)

[@jylessa_spiritgem4736]

'for every scam I ran my hands thru, Lord I need to know do Gs get to go.. ' My God. This song is an absolute classic. I STILL play it almost every day. My dad, God rest his soul, turned me into a music head and this was one of our many favorite songs. People trip when I remind them of the song by playing it. I'm so happy for this interview. I'm glad he's still here on this earth! Rich!
