    This DJ Khaled album is NOT GOOD. Full-length DJ Khaled albums continue to be in their own tier of artistic bankruptcy.

    Minor key. Major L. Another flop. Trash. The doors were closed on him for this one. Unsmart, unloyal, ungenius. Congrats, he has played himself.

    A ZERO.

    "Another One", "We the Best Music", I'm sick of always saying that in every **** song, it almost destroyed me "Wild Thoughts" because of their stupidities, I have with this 3 albums that I've heard from DJ Khaled, but this is the first time that any song attracts me or is fairly good, if at all "Wish Wish" with Cardi B and 21 savage, but the rest is a disaster, so many important artists"Another One", "We the Best Music", I'm sick of always saying that in every **** song, it almost destroyed me "Wild Thoughts" because of their stupidities, I have with this 3 albums that I've heard from DJ Khaled, but this is the first time that any song attracts me or is fairly good, if at all "Wish Wish" with Cardi B and 21 savage, but the rest is a disaster, so many important artists with whom he collaborates and each song makes it a piece of **** or Post Malone, SZA, Travis Scott, John Legend, Chris Brown, Big Sean, JAY Z and Beyoncé manage to have a solid song, each song has too many rhythms, they change in such a disorderly way that it is sometimes heard complete. As it is possible that an album that has so many rhythms, rhythmic or danceable sounds, is so boring, the worst of all is that it is almost 1 hour of the same. This is so far the worst album this year, just above the "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?" by Billie Eilish and "Death Race for Love" by Juice WRLD… Expand

    DJ Khaled has no artistry, it's sell out pop. There's an occasional banger in his discography but I wouldn't say he has any here. This is just really generic, average, and uneventful pop.

    The music isn't a complete garbage, Just Us is ok, but the fact that he freaked out for not getting #1 on BB200 is RIDICULOUS.

    Holy Mountain 2/10 the beat is good at some points but at most of the song the beat sucks, no one of the features really work here most of them are annoying.
    Wish Wish 8/10 the beat is good and really works with cardi, and she delivers really good and 21 savage does a great job he is the highlight of the song.
    Jealous 7/10 the beat is really good Chris Brown is good here lil Wayne    Holy Mountain 2/10 the beat is good at some points but at most of the song the beat sucks, no one of the features really work here most of them are annoying.

    TERRIBLE. it's gotten to the point where i would defy people i abhor to listen to this album every single day on a repeat from start to finish.
    there's no concept, ground ideas of what you're trying to address and even represnt via your own music using your own voice. just another typical radio station type of trite . no wonder why igor is much better than this crap. it's not even    TERRIBLE. it's gotten to the point where i would defy people i abhor to listen to this album every single day on a repeat from start to finish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "be kind to one another because almost everyone is going through a battle you know nothing about" - lebo. music is business and d.j khaled is a business man. at first i went through an entire album (tracklist) and was like to myself : why isn't there jay-z , future , chrisbrown , nicki and all other artist he used to include in his classic albums before and my answer to myself was : does he have feature them in every album of his to validate good relationship & in order to be critically acclaimed?. i am giving this album 6.5 rating bc 1. he should not be criticised for working with new and trendy artists and his music shouldn't be limited to a certain targed market 2. he delivered when it comes to beats and production. the overall quality of a song, featured artists should be criticized separately bc they aren't a reflection of the work & efforts he put in individually.

    concerns : opening song is good & is eligible to be compared to lemonade intro (in my head) however i wish he featured a more dignified soloist - john legend ( but refere to the above). positive : maintained a reasonable max track numbers of what i am expecting from any studio album (16).    … Expand

    Although instant, maximum commercial impact is no doubt the primary objective, the album does come across as more considered than the average Khaled LP.

    Not only are the song structures disappointingly formulaic but the samples picked for the project rank as some of the laziest in recent Hip Hop Years.

    DJ Khaled knows how to produce a hit with any number of artists, but his 2019 effort could have used some more growth like Asahd.
