Albums DJ Khaled - Grateful (Discussion Thread)

[Playaz Eyez]

This album is so damn mediocre. A ton of tracks that scream "please let this latch onto the radio". No wonder this shyt is $5 on Amazon. The first 5 tracks (the singles) are some of the worst consecutive songs since the opening tracks from ASAP Ferg's last album. There's 4 tracks I rock with and the rest can fly a kite.

I just do not understand the appeal of Travis Scott

2 will probably go 7 or 8 times.

This is trash but I am not usually a fan of bunch of guys on one song. The whole album sounds like random verses being merged into one songs. The 2 decent songs were the Jay, and Bey one, and the Nicki Minaj/Alicia Keys one, also expected those 2 songs to be the worst

Intro was trash Sizzla need to cool off pon di river! Run out mi yard youth!

Shining though

[BO BARON]

[Kidd Dibiase]

Most of this is booty juice

Belly has the best track on here. Great writing, I havnt had a song make me feel like that in months. Pusha and Jada killed it, but does Push ever change his subject matter? Like, ever?
There's too many autotuned hooks. We didnt need Future and Travis Scott on two thirds of the album. People might clown Chance for that kiddy track he did, but at least I can hear his natural voice.
As much as Im not feeling Nicki Minaj's vibe these days, I thought her track with Alicia Keys was the best she's sounded in a minute.
The album is incoherent, production is all over the place and it feels like half these songs were just pasted together without much heart or passion, the only intention was getting radio play.

Belly has a handful of tracks I rock with, I can't front. I first heard about him in 2007, but it seems like he switched his style up.

Also forgot to mention in my previous post, it seemed like Nas recorded his verse, sent it to Khaled, and he was trying to figure out what beat to put with it. shyt is all over the place

Album is okay but Major Key might be Khaled's best.

Also Sean don't want no problems with Kendrick he only firing in the air but ain't going for the head shot He scared!

Travis and Nas wasn't that good. Not bad but not needed though Nas went in lol.

 

[Guvnor]

I like the To The Max sample

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Somebody bless me with a pm

 

[ineedsleep212]

at this Nas x Travis Scott song. I prefer to hear the Heatmakerz version of this sample.

 

[Apex]

The beat is doing too much on the Nas/Travis song.
