Critic Reviews
Show All-
ALL MUSIC
Khaled does his usual cheerleading and gets some production credits himself, but the real trick he pulls off is inspiring all these artists to somehow save up all these high-grade club tracks and singles for the DJ's annual dispatch. Suffering from Success, once again.
-
XXL
He simply doesn’t provide enough flash to continue his meteoric ascent toward becoming an independently viable brand.
-
HIPHOPDX
While Suffering From Success has all of the coherency one would assume comes from locking down the A-Room of one of Cash Money Records’ studios, DJ Khaled offers none of the earmarks which have previously separated his collections from everyone else’s.
-
Boston Globe
Despite some deft, defiant turns the set suffers from inconsistency.
-
The New York Times
“You Don’t Want These Problems”--a posse cut featuring Mr. Ross, Big Sean, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Ace Hood and Timbaland--comes closer to hitting the album’s bull’s-eye of gloating complaint.... Much of the rest of Suffering From Success feels rote, with too little payoff for the crassness.

Rap Reviews
It saddens me to say that this seventh edition of Khaled and co doesn't help the producer's increasing lack of relevance.

DJ Khaled’s latest project suffers from a lot more than success.

Forbes
it is tough to tell exactly what Khaled's actual and direct musical contributions are as far as ‘producer’ goes but I believe he is helping arrange this music more so than program it. Regardless, he is omnipresent across all 16 tracks.

brent music reviews
Suffering From Success isn’t really suffering from success, but it may be suffering from a lack of innovative spirit. It’s good enough, not great If you’re looking for depth, avoid it. If you want to get it poppin’ at the club, this is for you.

Honest truth is there is no message here if that is what you are looking for. Khaled did what Khaled does best- Make hits for the club. you got your usual suspects on the features- Lil' Wayne, Drake, Rozay, Nicki, Ace Hood, Future and more.

Despite being titled Suffering from Success, what it's actually ailing it is a lack of originality.
-
WHIP
is a must listen for fans of upbeat hip-hop music. The album is a reflection of Khaled’s emphasis on combining electronic beats with hip-hop/rap vocals. Like previous records, it is heavy on the collaborations.
-
MIMO
is an overwhelming, formulaic and repetitive orgy of features and club-ready production.
-
Muzic Junkies
It seems rushed and more like a mixtape than anything else. Khaled’s ethic and direction in the compiling of the record seems very lazy and not well calculated.
-
The Source
the album is chock full of guest appearances, touting a who’s who of relevant rap talent that makes for a musical gumbo that packs plenty of punch.

ADRAMATIC(translated)
In the end an album with some good passages, but difficult on the length.
