We the Best Forever
“If you ain’t talkin’ money, we ain’t talkin’!” “We’ll be legendary!” When DJ Khaled speaks up on a record, you can expect an exclamation point (or six) to be attached. Khaled isn’t exactly a musician. He’s a personality, a ringleader, a brand. He gets just three co-producer credits here. Mostly his job is to gather A-list MCs and singers (Drake, Cee Lo, Mary J.

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