DJ Khaled's getting by with a little help from his friends. A lot of them. The Miami deejay--whose runs the helm of a popular radio show on South Florida's urban-formatted WEDR--enlists a gaping host of collaborators on this follow-up to his 2006 debut, Listennn... the Album. His guests include Akon, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, T.I., Birdman, and Rick Ross, and that's just on lead single "We Takin' Over." Elsewhere, Young Jeezy and Juelz Santana drop in ("Brown Paper Bag"), as do Trick Daddy ("I'm So Hood"), Ja Rule ("New York"), and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony ("The Originators"). Even Jadakiss and The Game drop by for the ironically uplifting "I'm From the Ghetto," complete with proud children's chorus. Along the way, Khaled serves up alternating plates of melodramatic bass, happy-go-lucky piano riffs ("Before the Solution"), and Dade-county shout-outs. With its assortment of producers and often unwisely chosen song sequence, We the Best's missteps abound, but the album collects enough sticky beats and hooks to kept the heat cranked up like a proper night out in the 305. --Jason Kirk

Usually when an artist releases a new album within a year of their previous album, the result feels like a hack job. But DJ Khaled's latest album We the Best is better than I expected.
By now, I'm sure everyone's familiar with "We Takin' Over" (but isn't T.I. rapping the exact same way he was rapping in Justin Timberlake's "My Love"?). Anyway, there are still better songs than that, like Beanie Sigel's "Before the Solution" and Bone's aptly titled "The Originators". The best track, however, would have to be "Hit Them Up" by Bun-B and Paul Wall.
But there are more cons than pros, hence the three-star rating. As dope as the chorus to Birdman and Lil' Wayne's "S on My Chest" is, I can't say the same about the verses. And there are a few songs featuring Trick Daddy, and although HE sounds dope, I can't say the same for the rest of the featured rappers, as especially shown on "I'm So Hood". "Bitch I'm from Dade County" features the usually wack Rick Ross as well as producer Dre (of Cool & Dre), who STILL hasn't learned that he isn't a rapper. Another mistake is the obligatory song for the kiddies, "I'm from the Ghetto", featuring the Game (showcasing yet another name-dropping verse) and Jadakiss. Speaking of Kiss, his collabo with Fat Joe and Ja Rule, "New York" (the basis for 50 Cent's "Piggy Bank"), is at least two years old, so why is it even here?
Another thing is, well, I understand that Khaled is a DJ, but he DOES spend a little too much time talking and doing his usual shout-outs (although he isn't as annoying as Clue -- by the way, where IS he?). We the Best will easily rock a party, but as I often say, B.I.F.

P.S. One thing that's always bothered me: people get mad at Latin singers like Jennifer Lopez when they use the "n" word, but how come they don't get mad at Latin RAPPERS like Fat Joe for doing the same thing? (And how about Khaled himself when HE does it, and he's Palestinian?)

berst thing on this whole cd is that khaled woprks with the best trappers the southy has to offer lil wayne, ti, big boi, t pain, young jeezy so if you're a fan of those that's the only reason to buy this wack album.
Decent Album December 14, 2007
This cd was worth the money. It has some good joints on it, but it could have been better.

This is really a great CD. I dont understand all the negative reviews. I've been listening to a few of his mixtapes recently and was qutie impressed so I bought the CD. It flew way beyond my expectations. Every song on here is good. And because theres so many different beats, and different rappers on each song, it really keeps your attention all the way to the end. A lot of the best rappers out right now can be heard on this CD. Definetely a must-buy for any real fan of good modern rap. Heres a few of my favorites:
We Takin Over
I'm So Hood
B*tch, Im From Dade County
Im From The Ghetto
Just those 4 songs alone are worth the $15
