DJ Khaled’s We Global Album Review
September 17th, 2008
Modesty Is Not a Virtue
Although DJ Khaled’s buffoonery has become a thing of legend over the past couple of years, no one can argue the success that the man has garnered. DJ Khaled has mastered the art of asking for a feature and finagled his way to a record deal along with a third album commemorating this mainstream notoriety, We Global. Whereas Khaled seeks to bask in his international success, the DJ makes little effort to reach past Dade County for his features and conceptually refuses to move to uncharted territory.
We Global is fundamentally the same Khaled album we’ve heard before. There are numerous contrived mash-ups of rappers over generic Runners, Cool & Dre and Co. beats with an R&B hook. How’s this for repetition: of the thirteen songs on the album, ten of them have some sort of sung hook by Trey Songz, T-Pain, Akon or a off-brand knock-off. Furthermore, the big collaborative efforts lack the star power of past Khaled projects. There is no Wayne, T.I. or Jeezy to counteract the lack of substance or stellar production. Instead, artists with substantially less talent and appeal take over. The aforementioned MCs are replaced by the likes of Ace Hood, Blood Raw and Brisco. Look no further than Boosie’s annoying spelling on “Out Here Grinding” and Shawty Lo’s unbelievably horrible verse on “Final Warning” to see that We Global is a lyrical step back from We The Best.
