DJ Khaled - Grateful (June 23, 2017) Album • Page 2

It's still on the iTunes store for me!

 

Weird. It's there for me too but not Apple Music.

 

Bey/Jay song out. Is that new or did I miss it before

 

Been out for a while, it was the first thing he released off the album

 

Lol whoops. No splash for me then

 

or caribean queen

 

okay, let's check this thing out

90 minutes long...

 

70 minutes is just him saying his name, then "We the best" followed by an airhorn noise

 

if the intro/first track was any indication, you're not wrong

 

It's nice to have a DJ Khaled album without Chris Brown, though.

 

hadn't heard the rihanna track beforehand, the santana sample made me burst out laughing, just didn't expect it

 

"i know i said 'nas album done' but we got one more to do first"

 

Chance song is








bad

Jawn is too long. I'll wait to hear what songs are hyped in here and then get them

 

Just started this, so only on Shining which is obviously awesome.

Interesting note: It's definitely a sign of the times how we are truly in a digital world. The CD version of this album is 2-discs, but never was it ever promoted as such, or even discussed as such. Before streaming, it would be a big deal to release a 2-disc album, but now it's just a long album

 

I swear, this entire album is going to be singles at some point. He just released a video for the intro haha

and on IG teased a video for tracks 6 AND 7. So all of the first 7 songs will have videos, at the very least

 

Oh my god, this Chance song is pretty fun but..... so fucking cheesy it hurts, kinda makes me laugh

 

on one hand it's kinda sweet, on the other...they literally just go through the entire alphabet

 

If I was a member of their family, I would feel so blessed and loved. But I'm not, so I just kinda hear it and think.... aww that's cute, they're having fun

 

This album brings up another interesting conversation based on what I mentioned earlier about the first 7 tracks having videos. It's pretty obvious after listening to this whole thing that it's incredibly front-loaded, the back half of this album is not very good.

But if you are Khaled or his label, you definitely realize that you NEED to front-load it in a streaming world. At least half of the people who listen to this album won't make it past track 6 or 7, it's just how streaming works, so you gotta make sure those first 6 or 7 are the BEST of the best so that you retain as many listeners as possible.

 

Did you guys know DJ Khaled has a son?

In all seriousness I'm stoked for him but can't relate to the Chance song at all which is a bummer. Sounds pretty though.

 

Aside from two or three tracks this is hot garbage. I don't think any of the features really lived up to their potential.

Also, the over-saturation of Travis is real. I can't stand hearing him on tracks anymore, and I'm a Travis fan.

 

I think this album could easily be condensed to a solid 10 tracks or so, but in the streaming world more tracks = better sales numbers.

1. Intro
2. Shining
3. To the Max
4. Wild Thoughts
5. I'm The One
6. On Everything
7. It's Secured
8. Hallelujah
9. Nobody
10. Don't Quit
11. I Can't Even Lie
12. Asahd Talk

the first and last track really just there for flow I guess

 

That Chance song is easily the worst thing he's ever done.
