Utter indulgent crap. If this song becomes a hit, i will lose all faith

A take on Busta Rhymes track of same title I think. Or an influence from it?

Olumaintain should just respect himself and resign from music>

Not impressed, he can do better with all da milli he has

Yahoozee this, Arab money money that
Wack song!

THIS TRACK IS COOL!

4,000 DOLLARS PER NIGHT! ARAB MONEY!    

IM FEELING THIS GUY!

IN DUBAI! NO HIGH! RAKASEMA! SAUDI ARABIA IN MA JALAMIA! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

NOTHING LIKE CREDIT CRUNCH! NOTHING LIKE RECESSION!!! hahaha ABOKI CHILLING MONEY!     

THOU IT MIGHT NO BE ORIGINAL BUT HIM TRY

OLU YOU TOO MUCH JOR!

F***K HATERS JOR! U CAN EAT UR CAKE AND HAVE IT! 

crap

seriously, dat's not original

I never see him as a talented singer.

Now he proved me right.
Rubish

will wait till i can enjoy the song properly, networks messed up here. he has never claimed originality as one of his strong points though, but i like the guy he does commercial stuff and does not deny his passion is not good music but what danceable beats can bring, unlike that wack and confused thug Idrees who calls himself a rapper.

Essentially crap. . . . but danceable music

Repeated 'Arab Money' almost a zillion times,really needs to work more on lyrics !

Essentially crap. . . . but danceable music

Yes you got it man,  the music might be crap! but it danceable men, esp, Parties when SHAYO dey Go!

All this ppl critizing this track. You will still see them dancing to it one day,  ShiT!

U Like it or noT! This track is gonna hiT!

Me I don dey dance already!!! GBASIBE! ARAB MONEY! CHEI 

Olu maintain should just resign

i heard initially of the hype splashed all over facebook and i told my friends the song was going to be a disgrace
glad i didnt loose the bet


doesnt take a genius to determine tho
a song coming from such quaters spells wack before it ever hits 'regular' human ears

A critical review.

The song starts with typical "look at my ego" skit/intro.

I thought it would get better, but sadly it didn't. He seem to have used the same "T-pain effect" [Auto tune] that have ruined Nigeria's music and make everyone sound the same. It is a very bad move as it just makes the track particularly generic. He used this effect in his previous hit track and using it again now, smacks of desperation in my opinion.

The lyrics to the actual song [if it can be called a song ] is more or less non-existent! It is fair to say, he needs some sort of writer or a ghost writer who can do the job in my opinion.

On the bright side, your typical "I-don't-care-what-the-music-is-as-long-as-it-is-danceable-Fan" will find this as a must have, while I respect their choice, it is something I will most definitely not recommend for those who know what music is about.

If he needed inspiration, perhaps he can listen to the "Original track" by Busta Rhymes and take a few hints from there.

Arrgggh I can't pretend any more. The song is absolute garbage. There really isnt nothing to review about a rubbish song. Call a spade, a spade, it is utter drivel.

If he sells 1000 genuine copies I think his done well.

You wait till you hear it goes platinum.

Speaking of platinum sales, I wonder how the figures are collected in Nigeria. A country, where record keeping is not exactly our strong point. I find it hard to believe some artist in Naija lay claim to selling millions of album.

Naira value will definitely soar someday

Great song no doubt. However, not great for the expectations people have of Olu. I think he needs to take more time with a pen and paper and an easel pad maybe to properly plan strategy before going about things the way he chooses.

MrCrackles:

It is alrite for someone who has money to shout money!money!!money!!!

But for a pauper/Some just getting by to scream money!money!!money!!! ~ NOW THAT IS MADNESS AND GREATEST HEIGHT OF BUFFOONERY!!!

Abi o.

That song is errant nonsense!
Is he trying to insult our music sense and intelligence with that crap?  *sigh*

The guy is such a total bore!
Such shallowness shouldnt even be seen on TVs.

He takes being empty headed to new heights!

kama-kazee! is that really how its spelt?

olodo guy

Habba, the song sounds I really like the melody and rhythm and prefer by miles to the Busta Rhymes version. I think it's a bit too long though.
For me it's miles better than a great deal of Naija songs that sound like they were produced in my toilet.
But mehn, so much Olu Maintain hate in this thread.

Hey. . . . . Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. . . . The Joint is tite no doubt. . . . . I love the song
