Critical reception

In 2013, Complex added the song in its list of nineteen great songs made by teenage rappers in the last 19 years. Complex editor Kyle Kramer said "Featuring carefree money boasts over a spry Mannie Fresh beat, the song still sounds relevant today in the Young Money era, proving the staying power of both diamonds and youth."^[1]

It features [[Hot Boys]] and [[Big Tymers]]. The song peaked at #36 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], making it B.G.'s most successful single to date. The unedited dirty album version features verses from, in order, [[Birdman (entertainer)|Birdman]], [[Turk (rapper)|Turk]], [[Mannie Fresh]], [[Juvenile (rapper)|Juvenile]], and [[B.G. (rapper)|B.G.]]. [[Lil Wayne]] does the chorus & outro, but does not have a verse. The clean and radio edited version features a verse from Lil Wayne in place of Turk, & Lil Wayne still does the chorus, however some edits keep the Turk verse and mutes obscenities while the other has Wayne verse with a mix of amended lyrics and muting obscenities and another edit that backmasking profanity. The song helped give mainstream popularity to the [[hip-hop]] slang term "[[bling bling]]", a term denoting shiny jewelry,  flashy, elaborate dress or decadent shows of wealth.
