Maino‘s most recent features, the sorta-tacky Tiger and the lukewarmly (yes, according to my spell-checker, that’s actually a word) received Bring It Back DJ didn’t perform up to spec, but that hasn’t discouraged the Brooklyn thug one bit. Today, he’s back with Don’t Say Nothing, a cut that he’s hoping will leave his haters lost for words. Basing his boardwork around a sample from Shawty Lo‘s Dey Know (Remix), Mistah Raja mixes strings, synths and bass-booming percussion as Maino reminds us what a crazy M.F.-er he is. Dirty Money member Kalenna steps up to the mic to vouch for the headliner’s claims of insanity, contributing a minimal but memorable hook. So, readers, does this track leave you speechless – and, if so, is that good speechless or bad speechless? If it’s the former, stay tuned; the artist’s sophomore set , Day After Tomorrow, has yet to receive a drop date from the label brass, but we’ll keep you posted.

Back in the day I believe there was an unwritten/unspoken rule that you had to wait a certain amount of years before you could sample a song. Now, its sampleable seemingly the next day (Kid Cudi poked her face when it was still charting). Obviously, such is the case here (and I'm not totally sold that the original was that great to begin with...).
Maino, for my money, always sounds better over epic production (see All The Above), being that his entire life and career have been a struggle. I didn't get that from him here. But, its not all bad.

Really not a whole lot there to like...
I wasn't expecting much, and I still felt like this was a little worse than expected. Pretty weak effort here. Outside of "All the Above" I'm really not a big fan of anything Maino has done. |

As much as I was a fan of the "Dey Know (Remix)" I think the hook was pretty wack. But the beats cool and I'm liking Maino's verses. 2.5.

When Maino make tracks I think he goes "I cant stand on my own two feet next to a mic, lemme see who I can sample, Oh I just listened to this cool song on my mp3 player, lets use that for my "new" song" Maino is trash as of late.

Not a great look from Maino. The production was ordinary and Maino just didnt sound real great with the mic. With any luck he's got the ability to make another 'All The Above'.

ever since "all the above" dropped i have been eagerly waiting for a similar appearance from maino, its been at least 10 months and i havent heard that song yet. time and time again he has disappointed me, on "dont say nothin" he doesnt change my opinion towards him. maybe he should have more time but for now im labelling maino a "one-hit-wonder" there i said it!
with this track he doest better than "tiger" or "bring it back dj" but still not enough to impress me |

Am I gonna be the first to give this banger status. YES. The beat and chorus are banging regardless of how recently the sampled track dropped (which is at least a year now). Admittedly, the verses are very superficial, but they flow and are flashy. Banger

How dare you Z! "Dey Know" was an undeniable banger. Ok, maybe not the original, but definitely the remix.
Sadly this song is not that song. Still, I can't seem to work up the animosity towards this that some of you seem to have. Production's generic but at least somewhat catchy, and while Maino's not exactly the second coming of Nas, it's not worthy of any real hatred. I think this is why they invented the term OK.

The beat is ridic. even if it's a sample I forgot what he was sampling because the main work kills. His verses are decent, you can only say who you roll with so many times before I start thinking you have nothing else going on...decent

This isn't a bad song, but I still don't consider myself a Maino fan. Production distracted me from the verses and the hook seemed really repetitive. Lyrically Maino has yet to impress me. After one listen my gut is telling me that this was garbage, but I'm gonna go with OK. Production plus sample is what saved this track for me.

Maino comes hard on this. The beat is sick on this. Fits Maino perfectly, Kalenna's part was annoying, but the hook is catchy.

I just can't get into his nasaly voice. I saw an interview & think the cat is cool. I like the cat but his sound doesn't do nothing for me.

I think Kaleena works well with the beat however, they should've tossed the chorus. Its just way too cheesy. Not to mention Maino's verses are hella weak.

I don't really like the beat so even if the lyrics were really good, they're ok, I wouldn't like this song.

And Maino continues with his less-than-noteworthy efforts. Too dispensable a verses indeed... then again I guess we need look no further than the title to see the inspiration behind them. Okay at very best.
