When you’ve just risen from a life of poverty to a multi-million-dollar major label deal, and your album is slated to be one of the first hip-hop sets released under the Obama administration, doesn’t that make you feel good?  So good, that you feel like giving A Million Bucks back to the impoverished hood you left behind?  Where most would refuse or simply forget to share the wealth, Maino makes sure that everyone in his community gets a piece of the industry cake he’s just been served.  NYC party-starter Swizz Beatz adds to the mood with a brass and steel drum-driven beat, as well as introducing listeners everywhere to the “Money Dance” (put your hands up, then toss them forward like you’re making it rain).  If this single’s got you feeling magnanimous, how about dropping a few bucks on If Tomorrow Comes…, set to (finally) hit stores June 30th.

I'm excited for his album. Definitely going to be one worth buying. I'm on the fence about this song. Its anthem-like production is ok, and I love Maino ever since "All the Above," and this is a decent follow-up to that. Again, can't wait for this album!!!

@joshL - Ha, just noticed that myself! I don't know what I was thinking...Oh, yeah, I do now. I was thinking, "this is aight, but not better than All the Above..." But, as the track went on, it grew on me. My mistake, fam!!! Don't hold it against me. It's been a loooooong day. :)

Not usually feelin Swizz's productions. Not today though. I thought the production was tight and Maino sounded good. He actually has been coming out with some good tracks. Back in his "Hi Hater" days, I thought he was gonna be a one-hit wonder, but his album is actually looking kinda strong.

If Maino's album actually drops - which I am doubting happens at this point - the first million dollars is going to pay off all the a-list producers that Atlantic hooked him up with for this debut project. This isn't as good as "All The Above" or (I can't believe I am saying this) "Hi Hater" - so, no need to make comparisons.

Swizzy is solid, but that is to be expected.

OK, so I've just given solid "Rotations" for what must be like the first time ever. I get to this track and I feel like its gonna ruin my perfect day, but think I gotta give this track rotation too.

The production is solid, the hook is pretty catchy, and I really can't hate on the dude when he's just expressin how good he feels. The material is kinda dumb, but his flow was actually betta than most I've heard from Maino. The money dance was--one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard on a track. But I'm sure that's somethin a LOT of people will disagree wit me on.

Don't think about it: JUST DO IT!!! Charities/Donations are good for the soul. This is alright. The verdict is still out on Maino. I need to listen to more of his tracks.

swizz comes with that anthem type production like he can... ive been with maino since last summer... Hood Love is that jam with Trey Songz on the hook... peep that if you aint hear it yet... definitely tight... but he goes too generic with all the above... only spittin two verses?... you aint made it to that level where you can only spit two verses and let T-Pain carry a track... that bein said, i dont know if this got rotation spins for me... not feelin the same ol same type material...

How does Swizz just crap out amazing beats? It pisses me off lol. As for Maino, I'm not sure if I like him after all these songs. I was feeling "All the Above" and "Hi Haters(Remix)" but this song is kinda boring

Almost all of Swizzys beats sound the same. That bein said, the beat is bangin. Thats the bright spot on this track tho. Like joshL said, there aint ne thing that really that sets this apart. I give it a 2.5

@Z - What was wrong with Hi Hater. I thought it was pretty sick (and the remix was brilliant).

This song was good, though I do agree that his other tracks are better
