French Montana, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and all these [guys] are friends that we rock with and call on. A lot of business we do don't necessarily have to be about money, it's about relationships and this is about people that we have relationships with.'[4] On June 10, 2013, the album cover was released and it was pushed back again until July 23, 2013.[5]

On June 10, 2013, Cash Money Records released a press release announcing the album's release date, saying: 'Without a doubt, this album is one of the best group albums to date. I guarantee that it will be in rotation on every club, at every party and coming out of the speakers of every car, ' said Ronald 'Slim' Williams, co-founder of Cash Money Records. Slim's brother and partner Bryan 'Birdman' Williams, added, 'YMCMB is a family, and this album is an example of our bond. We are thrilled to come together, partner with some of our closest friends and create something special for our fans. Think of it as an audio present, from our family, to yours.'[9]

Rich Gang was met with mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 47, which indicates 'mixed or average reviews' based on 6 reviews.[24] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone gave the album two out of five stars, saying 'On this celebratory all-star compilation, Nicki and Weezy (but not Drizzy) are joined by CMYM bench contributors (Cory Gunz, Limp Bizkit, Ace Hood, Mack Maine, Tyga) and non-label heavies (Flo Rida, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, R. Kelly and Chris Brown) for a crowded disc of Maybach waxing and club banging. Lamar drops a marvelously bendy verse on '100 Flavors' and hungry old-timers Mystikal and Busta Rhymes do some gonzo barking on the slippery yacht-rock jam 'Everyday.' Mostly, though, it's like a crowded party where you don't really get to talk to anyone as long as you'd like.'[29] Chris Dart of Exclaim! gave the album a three out of ten, saying 'The scientists at Young Money/Cash Money labs deserve to be congratulated for finally managing to synthesize a safe, rap-based alternative to Ambien. At least, that's what it sounds like they were attempting when they recorded this incredibly boring 'super-group' album. It features a large chunk of the YMCMB roster, but almost none of them sound like they want to be there. All the songs on Rich Gang bleed into one another; they all have the same slow-to-mid tempo, overproduced, synth-heavy beats; and almost all the rappers sleepwalk through their verses.'[27] Dan Rys of XXL gave the album an L, saying 'Rich Gang is not especially lyrical, but that's not really a shocker; its strengths lie more in its hooks and club appeal, and it's fully stocked with tracks that demand to be played at ear-shattering and floor-shaking volumes. It's another all-around solid chapter in the Cash Money canon.'[30]
David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album two and half stars out of five, saying 'One begins to wonder if Rich Gang the album is simply a scrapped solo album from the label boss, one that was retooled and retitled, then hyped up to look like a Cash Money celebration piece. After all, Young Money superstar Drake is MIA, as is both the usual quality control and Cash Money sense of purpose. Fanatics only; everyone else can grab the singles.'[25] Edwin Ortiz of HipHopDX gave the album two and half stars out of five, saying 'Rich Gang has its moments, but ultimately does little to establish what is truly compelling of Birdman's latest signees, as well the executive's own place in the Rap game. At best, this is a lateral move from their 2009 release We Are Young Money—which isn't a great indication that their collaborative efforts are progressing. There's no doubt that this project will have traction with some listeners, but that will based on the names involved and not the quality control (or lack thereof) presented.'[28]

Background[edit]
Birdman confirmed the release of the song on March 12, 2013,[5] and was released that day as planned.[6] The song premiered on Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex on March 12, 2013. It was officially released as a digital download on March 19, 2013.[7] The song was available as a digital download in UK on March 24,[8] and in France on March 25.[9] On May 7, 'Tapout' was released to rhythmic contemporary radio.[10]
Music video[edit]
Nicki Minaj confirmed a video shoot on March 11, 2013 but it was unknown for what song.[11] Birdman confirmed on his Twitter that the video shoot was for 'Tapout'.[5] The video (directed by Hannah Lux Davis) was released on May 5, 2013 and featured cameos from Kimora Lee Simmons, DJ Khaled, Bow Wow, Paris Hilton and Christina Milian.[12]
Critical reception[edit]
'Tapout' was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Dan Rys of XXL said, 'With Future on the hook, the song was always going to be a memorable club staple, but the best thing about it is how everyone on it—Lil Wayne, Birdman, Mack Maine, Nicki Minaj and Detail—grabs the beat and puts their own individual stamp on it.'[13] David Jeffries of AllMusic stated, 'Tapout' is an all-star bit of flash that brings Future back to mix with the label's A-list.'[14]
XXL ranked it at number 18 on their list of the best songs of 2013. They commented saying, 'Wayne kicks things off with a verse that, while not the most original, was still entertaining, while Birdman carries the bridge to the only part that really matters, and the only part that keeps this song on the list: Nicki Minaj. Here's to nominating 'Pull up in that you can't afford this / Only rap bitch on the Forbes list' for couplet of the year. That and, of course, that hook is infectious as hell.'[15]
Chart performance[edit]
The song has peaked at number 134 in France and at number 40 on in Belgium, becoming Birdman and Mack Maine's first entries in those countries.
