![]() ![]() Wayne's verse from the single isn't on the album his personality is missed, if not his uncharacteristically pedestrian rhymes ("Regularly irregular," eh? Try eating fewer rappers, more fiber). Boosie's weaselishly yawped half-verse outshines Rick Ross' thug autopilot, Plies' get-me-coppers rasp, We the Best signee Ace Hood's guttural bank boasts, and even Trick Daddy as shit-talking Miami elder statesman. ![]() On We Global, Khaled surveys the world as if he owns it, too, but we provincial: Khaled owns Miami, or at least "Miami", an increasingly clumsily trodden musical destination he's ready and willing to run as far as it takes him.Īs usual, Khaled can be counted on for one star-studded summer jam, and that's first single "Out Here Grindin'", with another empty Akon earworm, plastic Runners synths, and Lil Boosie spelling out Khaled's slogan "I.n.d.e.p.e.n.d.e.n.t."-style. If that wasn't enough, last year's rote We the Best gave us one A-list posse cut, "We Takin' Over", with the kind of unhinged Lil Wayne verse that made the rapper's current victory lap look all but foreordained. Whatever listeners around the world wanted to learn about Khaled's curatorship of the soaringly shallow Miami synth-rap sound, they could've gleaned from the Palestinian-American Miami radio and mixtape DJ's first LP, 2006's surprisingly coherent Listennn: The Album. None of which makes We Global any better- as a catchphrase (basically what Khaled does on disc) or as an album. ![]()
