    Kiss The Ring is brief and overrun with enough proven formulas and artists that the opportunity for a miss barely exists.

    Kiss drags in the second half, but Khaled's relentless yelling makes sure you'll at least stay awake. [7 Sep 2012, p.75]

    Khaled goes through his hip-hop Rolodex yet again and compiles a strong collection of MCs and producers to add some shine to his latest musical collage.

    Though its combative title suggests Khaled cares little for anybody's approval, Kiss the Ring ends up more of a formulaic slugging match than any collection of genuine rap prize-fighters really should.

    Typical DJ Khaled release. There are a couple decent tracks, but the only really good track is "Hip Hop". Otherwise, the rest is skippable and not worth your money at all.… Collapse
