"Party Like a Rockstar" is a song by American hip hop group Shop Boyz. It was released as the lead single from their debut album Rockstar Mentality (2007). It reached high success during summer 2007 and was successful in the United States, peaking in the top five on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Tracks, and Hot 100 charts. The song was nominated for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 50th Grammy Awards. The song is based around two electric guitar riffs (taken from "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne). It also makes references to certain rock figures such as Marilyn Manson, The Osbournes, Kiss, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Travis Barker. For a time, "Party Like a Rockstar" was the most played rhythmic, and rap song in the United States, according to Radio & Records. It was featured in the video game NBA Live 08. The official remix features Lil Wayne, Jim Jones and Chamillionaire with more guitar riffs included. Jones' verse didn't make it to iTunes' remix, although Lil Wayne's verse and Chamillionaire's verse did. Another unofficial remix has been produced by Lil Jon and Swedish composer Jay Orpin, who also wrote the first remix. There is also a freestyle version by J. R. Writer of Dipset as well as a remix by Trina and another one by rapper Bow Wow. The song gained some airplay in the UK on BBC Radio 1, and was added to the B-List on its playlist.more »
