most of the people who live the hoodrich lifestyle are black, and the hoodrich car of choice is a caddilac escalade with 30 inch chrome rims. all bought with money they don’t have. they would rather eat ramen or government cheese and live in a roach motel than have to not have expensive stuff.

adjective. used to describe someone who doesn’t have a job but still, somehow, manages to stay sharp. this often leads to one not being able pay their rent due to all of their money being spent.

one can often identify someone who is hood rich by their quarter tank of gas in their new e-cl-ss (whilst still believing that they will ride) and their gator boots with a pimped out gucci suit.
