I'm listening through at the moment and this is a terrible album :mellow: Only Just Us is listenable so far, and that's mainly down to SZA. The sample of So Freakin Tight is dire

I notice that in the video for 'Jealous', Chris Brown is doing a Nelly with a plaster on his cheek. 'Jealous' it's all right but it's no 'I'm The One' from DJ Khaled.

 

It annoys me how he has to always feature in his videos and do random shout-outs and endless tags for himself. I get that he's a producer but it's just so distracting and cringey watching him just stand around and shout "DJ KHALEDDDD" in every video. We know you produced it. We know what you look like. Just let the vocalists do their thing?

A lot of the time this isn't true though :lol:

What does he actually even do then? :lol:

guess he's producer too

 

but really wish he stopped with the shouting nonsense, I always skip his songs on playlists like NMF or HH cos of that, it's pretty idiotic imho to keep shouting "we the best music" or "another one" in every song, and not just at the start, in the middle of the song too

I think a lot of the time it's that he's the curator of bringing all these big name artists together, as a label boss/influencer with a lot of connections. And I guess say what you will about his ad libs and whatnot, but there's an established brand, and he gets hits.

I did have a laugh when I was listening to his new chart entries last weekend, track 2 "Wish Wish" ends with 'another one', and then 5 seconds into track 3 "Jealous" is the very same 'another one', like there's no illusion of an album that's meant to be listened to as a cohesive product :lol:

Khaled is essentially more like a marketer than a musician, and he's been very successful at marketing by basically turning his entire life and personality into a huge meme.

 

For what it's worth he is credited as a producer on every song on this album. So maybe he's doing something somewhere.
