Dj Khaled - Father Of Asahd (Discussion Thread)

[re'up]

For all the big names and talent, money involved in production, none of this really works for me. It always feels manufactured and cliched, overdone. This all feels like a reworking of every other Khaled album, and maybe some of this will work for audiences who weren't listening in 2007 or 200, but this is very tired and trite, like the PG-13 version of rap.

I guess I'm older at 33, and so, I recognize the sample on the Meek joint as being from Sigel's 2001 album, which is a classic song, and this doesn't come close to that, and I fukk with Meek, heavy.

The SZA track is probably among the strongest, it sounds inspired and fresh, as opposed to going through the motions.

Trash person, trash music

Ross ain't drop a bad verse yet! fukking with a few of these tracks. Some throwaways though. Basically the same as every other khaled album.

 

[Guvnor]

I can't explain how pissed off I am at that intro

How you have all them GOAT's on there and produce that trash

Facts and the sample was the sample SIR used on his joint and bodied. He should have used something else.



Shake also was not needed on that song.

"I had no Damon Dash, my partners was maniacs, wish I had a Damon, I woulda been straighter with that shyt, no Puff, I had crack sellers to trust, no Suge, not even Harry-O"

Nas murdered those verses, and on first listens I find, the hook over the top, and overdone, but Nas is so nice on those verses. Flow is 100% in pocket on this, and he's speaking about his career with the kind of clarity, and hindsight, opinions, that we so badly need from the elder statesmen of the game. Esp. that second verse.

much better than i'd expect a khaled album to be...trails off at the end ..or i just hate those songs like Top Off..

I liked the SZA track over Ms. Jackson

Nipsey track was cool until John Legend fukked it up

Meek and Baby track is hard

Jersey and Ross track is nice, Big Sean track coo, that Breezy/Wayne/Sean track is so god damn generic

Overall a typical mid Khaled album

 

[OfTheCross]

This OutKast sample lazy as hell

 

[jebuz]

why do people still work with this clown?

Aside from decent loosies here and there his albums are straight

 

[OfTheCross]

Aight..I'm on You Stay now...this album wasn't pushed back for nothing.

It was strategic. All these shyts are Summer vibes.

Warm weather music

You're wrong about his albums, tho..

Makes me think you haven't heard Kiss The Ring, Major Key or We The Best

 

[OfTheCross]

I would like a Meek and Lil Baby EP as well

 

[OfTheCross]

Freak n you You beat is wack

 

[OfTheCross]

Top Off actually sounds good to me today...must be cause Freak n You was so wack.


The beginning of Top Off reminds me of the beat Reminder from BP3

 

[OfTheCross]

Jesus No Brainier is still trash. Skipped.
