He has asked us to listen, proclaimed himself as the best, said he was known globally, was victorious, that his bestness will go on for eternity, told us to kiss his ring, and now, the man with the connections has come with his seventh album, and now all that success is a bit too much for him and he is suffering.
No matter what the title though, after checking out the majority of his work, it won't surprise anyone that it follows the same formula as before. It begins with some reasonable trap bangers, falls into some trash-especially Future's choruses-how people enjoy his artificial voice is beyond me-and then when it gets more 'serious', for lack of a better word, like on 'Hells Kitchen' and 'Never Surrender', there are some songs that may get replayed. It is also a rare case for a Khaled album where the lead single 'No New Friends' wasn't really catchy at all, and basically a bore.
A compilation of his seven albums would be something to hear, but there is never much originality in the production or the many rappers who are featured across the albums. Nicki, Wayne, Montana, Future and Drake aren't exactly at the top of my list. If you love those artists you'll enjoy this more than me.
Best Tracks: Hells Kitchen, Never Surrender.
