20 Songs That Prove Rappers Have Nicer Cars Than You

If you’re reading this list from a Honda, then chances are you’re aware that rappers drive more expensive cars than you. It’s something that’s consistently increased in price over the years—remember when Nas said “I’d push the Q45 Infinity” in “If I Ruled The World”? Now you couldn’t rule your own driveway in that car. But it’s like Kanye West said in “Run This Town,” “What you think I rap for? To push a fuckin’ Rav4?”

And there you have it: The cars make the rapper. They make them so much that rappers have crafted entire songs about them. To honor these luxuries, we’ve made a list of 20 songs that name check the most expensive cars. Now this list isn’t about cars in general. If it were then we’d mention tracks like Mike Jones’ “Still Tippin” or Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s.” No, these are the priciest of the pricey a.k.a. ones you can’t get a lease for even if you tried. So start your engines and check them out below. --KI

“Bugatti” Ace Hood Featuring Future And Rick Ross
Oh you “woke up in a new Bugatti,” huh? Well Ace Hood, that’s good to know, considering a Bugatti Vitesse costs about $2.5 million. That “Hustle Hard” money must still be flowing in quiet aggressively.

“Aston Martin Music” Rick Ross Featuring Chrisette Michele And Drake
An Aston Martin One-77 is currently valued at almost $1.8 million. That’s a price tag fit for a Bawse – or someone with really good credit. Ross can handle it when he has a whole roster of artists on Maybach Music Group sending him dividends every month.

“R. Cali” A$AP Rocky
Well damn, A$AP, we didn’t know it was like that. One mixtape and one album yielded this guy a Maserati, two Bugattis, a Tesla Roadster, a blue Ferrari, and a Lamborghini. At least that’s what the song says. Then again, this was for the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack so he could just be stuntin’.

“No Church In The Wild” Jay Z And Kanye West Featuring Frank Ocean
This one deserved a special shout because Jay Z says “Rollin’ in the Rolls Royce Corniche,” and they stopped making that car in like 1995. So keep your Ghost, keep your Phantom, because Hov has cars you can’t even get anymore. How do you like them rims?

“Ferrari Boys” Gucci Mane Featuring Waka Flocka Flame
It would be even better if these two still got along because then this song about them having matching Ferraris would seem even cooler. But they’re not. Wonder who got the cars in the divorce?

“Maybach Music (I, II, III, IV)” Rick Ross
Yes, we’re lumping all of Rick Ross’ Maybachs into one selection. From enlisting Kanye West to even Erykah Badu, Rick Ross has run the gamut of artists to join him in his sentimental ode to his $500,000 car. Then again, maybe he means the Maybach Exelero, which costs $8 million. Yikes.

“Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2” Drake Featuring Jay Z
“And I just spent four Ferraris all on a brand new Bugatti.” Welp, you don’t need a calculator to juggle those figures. Drizzy is throwing bricks down on some new cars to numb the pain of whatever girl broke his heart that day. That’s money well spent.

“Amen” Pusha T Featuring Jeezy & Kanye West
Jeezy grabs the reigns in expensive car names on this one when he says “Even seen them come two-tone like a Saleen.” The Saleen S7 is close to $600k and it’s part of the Mustang family, though way pricier. Jeezy knows all about it apparently.

“Lamborghini Angels” Lupe Fiasco
Lupe has visions of “Lamborghini Angels” with their “Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through.” That’s quite a vision to have, considering a Lamborghini Reventon costs close to $1.5 million. Of course you’re seeing angels, Lupe. You’ve died over the price of your car.

“FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt” Jay Z Featuring Rick Ross
Another example of Jay Z shitting on the car competition. He says, “Peel off in a Lamborghini Countach,” and they stopped making those in 1990. So once again Jay Z has reminded everyone that he has nicer (and more unique) things than we do. Ugh.

“Superstar” AZ
We have no real proof that AZ has these cars, but on the Outro to this track, there are some way pricey cars named. We have the Ferrari Enzo (over $650,000), the McLaren F1 ($5.5 million, WTF?), and the Pagani Zonda (almost $1.9 million). Um, we’d like to see some receipts for these purchases, Mr. AZ. Plus a ride in all of the aforementioned vehicles. Please and thank you.

“Amsterdam” Rick Ross
Here comes Rick Ross and his expensive cars again. “Rolls Royce new Ghost, that’s a nigga pocket change.” So that means a $245,000 car is pocket change for Rick Ross? Hey Bawse, can you spare us some “pocket change”?

“Mercy” Kanye West Featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean & Pusha T
Well, considering the hook is dedicated to Lamborghinis, we’d all be begging for mercy if we had to purchase one. Kanye also makes sure to specify that the car has suicide doors. Then he turns around and puts suicide doors on his tour bus. Must be nice.

“Actin’ Up” Meek Mill Featuring French Montana & Wale
Meek definitely took a cue from Rick Ross with the Aston Martin. He’s mentioned that car on like five different songs (and Intros). On this track though a Rolls Royce is mentioned too in addition to the Aston Martin so by default this song has a higher price tag attached to it.

“Beamer, Benz or Bentley” Lloyd Banks Featuring Juelz Santana
Okay sure, we’ve been carrying on this whole list about $5 million cars, and here we have the nerve to mention this song. Well, let’s say the Beamer is an M6 Gran Coupe. That’s like $110,000. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is like $500,000 and so is a high end Bentley. Can you afford those cars? Didn’t think so.

“Ali Bomaye” Game Featuring 2 Chainz And Rick Ross
Game is such a nice guy. He totally looked up the price for the Phantom for us and mentioned it in the song. “Car costs 300 thou(sand) and I blow indo in it.” So not only did he spend $300,000 on a Phantom, he goes and makes the whole car smell like weed, just because he can.

“They Still Like Me” Lil Wayne
Here’s an oldie but goodie off Weezy’s Dedication 2, where he says “Left in a Porsche, came in a Koenigsegg.” That’s one hell of an upgrade, considering the Koenigsegg CCXR is close to $2.2 million. Bonus points for you if you can pronounce Koenigsegg or say it five times fast.

“Backseat Freestyle” Kendrick Lamar
From the man who said “I’m Kendrick Lamar/AKA Benz is to me a just a car” on A$AP Rocky’s “Fuckin Problems” says “Start up that Maserati and vroom vroom I’m racing” on this track. He should make his next album Good Kid, Expensive c.A.A.r.s.

“If I Ain’t” Juicy J
Juicy J says, “I’m so dope in that Rolls Royce, you can park my shit on a triple beam.” It’s only right that he equates cars and drugs because both can be an addiction with heavy price stamps attached to them. In addition, Juicy stays trippy in his. Need we say more?

“Heaven” Jay Z
While a majority of rappers carry on about cars they can’t afford, Jay Z proves to be the most educated consumer. “He’s 6’2, how the fuck he fit in a new Bugatti?” he says, “Aw, fuck it you got me.” Jay acknowledges he’s too tall to fit in a Bugatti (despite his wife Beyoncé having bought him one a few years back). He also mentions Bugattis in “Picasso Baby” so perhaps he’s driving with his knees to his chin. If that’s even a thing, then Hov will make it happen.
