WE THE BEST
| DJ KhaledWE THE BEST
We the Best is the second studio album by Miami-based DJ and fellow Terror Squad member DJ Khaled. It was released on June 12, 2007, by Terror Squad Entertainment, distributed by Koch Records. DJ Khaled alongside fellow rapper Fat Joe and Allah, collectively handled as the executive producers on this album. The album was produced by Cool & Dre, Jim Jonsin, The Diaz Brothers and The Runners; as well as the guest appearances from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Trina, Paul Wall and Bun B, among others. It was supported by two singles; "We Takin' Over" featuring T.I., Akon, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Birdman and Lil Wayne, and the other Rick Ross-featured track "I'm So Hood" alongside T-Pain, Trick Daddy and Plies. We the Best received a mixed reception from critics, who found some of the tracks enjoyable and engaging, but felt it was over-bloated with lesser tracks and Khaled's persistent ad-libbing throughout the album. The album debuted at number 8 on the US Billboard 200. As of January 2008, the album has sold 440,000 copies in the United States. -WIKIPEDIA

Pitchfork
Second album from Miami hip-hop figurehead, packed once again with posse cuts including verses from Lil Wayne, T.I. and Fat Joe, falls far short of its predecessor.

"'We The Best' will hit at the charts, but as soon as the next major release comes around it will be forgotten."

HIPHOPDX
While capable of doing so, it didn’t manage to provide the luster it should have. It’s a good album, but it just doesn’t live up to the billing.

ALL MUSIC
Much more frustrating than a failure, We the Best earns a slight thumbs up if you think of it as a disjointed soundtrack or four-hit mixtape.
