    Though the content of We The Best Forever is what we've come to expect from a DJ Khaled offering-grandiose odes to the grind and getting yours-that he understands how to create those better than most is what makes a DJ Khaled track, and album, worthwhile.

    At this point listeners are either down with his movement or they aren't, and while We The Best Forever is a solid piece, it's not different enough from his previous work to change any minds about him.

    Be prepared for an experience somewhere between a star-studded soundtrack and a DJ-helmed mixtape.

    It just goes to show that on a DJ Khaled album, you can't be Eddie Van Halen. You've got to be David Lee Roth.

    As usual, his imperial victory-march hip-hop songs are fun, and mildly exhausting.

    The Miami radio DJ and Terror Squad member takes few stylistic chances, making We The Best Forever a mostly tedious listen despite its flashes of lyrical invention.

    He's found time to let some truly enjoyable music slip through the cracks again, whether they were favors as much as personal concoctions or not, and while one still gets the feeling Khaled views these artists as products on a shelf as much as human beings, it's nice to know he still knows a good song when he hears one.

    I can understand where people demand diversity, but DJ Khaled gets me just as hype with this drop as he has in the past. No one, and I mean noI can understand where people demand diversity, but DJ Khaled gets me just as hype with this drop as he has in the past. No one, and I mean no one, can get so many of the dopest rhymers of the present together on one album. Not to mention he leads with "I'm on one" which is one of the summers hottest songs. I can appreciate where someone may not like his style, but its his style and people either love it or they hate it. This may not be his highest selling album, but for any true DJ Khaled fan (or any hip hop fan who appreciates compilation tracks with amazing artists) this is a must own!… Expand

    If this was his first album ever released he would have never become famous. I believe that even he wasn't satisfied with this album.

Overall it wasn't horrible, but it just wasn't that great either… Collapse
