Judging by Booth feedback, DJ Khaled‘s last single couldn’t have been more aptly named; many were indeed Fed Up with the We the Best head honcho’s constant yelling and formulaic ensemble cuts. Unsurprisingly, on new street single Put Your Hands Up, Khaled hasn’t changed a thing – on the contrary, he’s called up three of the hoarsest, gruffest Southerners in the game to craft a track that will have fans’ trunks banging as critics’ throats tingle with sympathetic pain (cough drop, anyone?). Over Schife‘s bombastic synth-string boardwork, frequent Khaled collaborators Young Jeezy, Plies and (the comparatively smooth) Rick Ross deliver hard-stunting, trash-talking verses sure to have street soldiers and “bad b*tches” alike pointing to the sky. Will Hands Up live up to Khaled’s expectations and become “the biggest street anthem in the hood?” It seems very probable, but I’ll let Booth readers speculate. Victory is set to drop March 3; in the meantime, fans can look forward to the release of the project’s next radio single, All We Do Is Win.

This wasn't bad at all. Once I get past his obnoxious yelling at the beginning of his songs, Khaled, for the most part, brings good music. The production was pretty tight and all of the verses were good but this was exactly what I was expecting when I clicked on this. I'm not sure how familiar Khaled is with the word 'creative.' Could have used a smoother hook to balance out with all of the harder verses but oh well. Not bad.

Whenever I see Khaled's name on a song, I never expect any thing mind blowing. So the whole "hood anthem" feeling the song trys to have is just something you know Khaled is gonna bring. As for the song, it's just ok. Jeezy and Rick had a nice flow but didn't spit anything great. Plies was wack but the hook really killed this song.

.... its better than "Fed Up" right? Honestly, no shots at Khaled at all, but the production, the verses, everything is just very very stale. Its beginning to sound way way way too much like everything they've already done in terms of a posse cut.

I look forward to the new radio single.

I dont get why everyone complains about Khaled yellling. Obviously its annoying, but its for the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds of a song. Why is that such a big deal to people, can't you last 10 seconds of yelling?? Cmon, hasn't your mother ever yelled at you? Jeez. Get over it people. A little yelling can't ruin a song (except for Karaoke by T-Pain).

this song isn't original, and the verses aren't good (as expected) 1.5

This album is quickly becoming a dud in my eyes. Nothing ive heard from it is sounding good.

Yes it is better then Fed Up, though its still nothings special.

Im very keen to hear the title track 'Victory' soon (Kanye, Jada, Nas & John Legend...how can that track fail?)

It's what it is, for the "hood". Like, I hate how Plies sounded, but I know some people will love. Not my cup of tea but I dig what they tried to create.

The tide's really turning against Khaled. I could live with the yelling, as long as he was pumping out bangers, but it feels like he's on auto-pilot, just turning out different version of the same track over and over again. Next.

For the record, NOBODY IN THE HOOD LISTENS TO DJ KHALED! You would get laughed outta town or beat up. Khaled has absolutely no musical sense. This is like some lil john leftovers from 7 years ago. The only people who like plies are lil girls who think hes hot. Thats why all of his songs are snuggle jams. With all of the talent on that victory song, it would take some serious effort to ruin, but with dj khaled, I wouldn't be surprised. The only time dj khaled was alright was back when he was famous enough to get big artists together, but not famous/rich enough to force his influence onto the record. Let's just hope that victory is better than we the best, cause that was just awful. Another beat wasted.

Alot of noise, alot of shouting and hollering, but nobody saying ish. DJ Khaled sure thinks alot of himself for somebody who's quality of work isn't even an album's worth.

@Z-ur right, this does sound too much like his old stuff.

I had to sign up for an account just to prevent you people from butchering this songs rating without an informed reason why.
Ok so let me explain my rating.

- This song was created for the next street anthem (i.e. DJ Khaled's reason for breathing). I believe he succeeded in this front, for it has three of the biggest names in the streets right now, and the phenomenal beat.

- Before you rate this song, listen to it with a decent pair of speakers, or preferably a really nice system.

- I enjoyed everyone's verse but Rick Ross, he's never really lyrically on topic.

- The guy who did the chorus did the beat. Since it's not meant for radio, im sure they can care less about having a big name or extravagant chorus.

not bad but i just don't like rick ross, young jeezy sounds "at home" on this one, he should have taken the track for tm 103! more of a street record than a radio track, which might be a good thing

Track is almost exactly what you'd expect before even listening to it - factory line cliche-fests.

With "Cool & Dre" and "Runners" some parts of the Khaled's record are unforgettable. But Schife here isn't all that.

this is just ok i perfer fed up over all his others except 1, plus how can you hate on that song, i think its become popular too not like khaleds music instead of actually forming your own mind. this song however deserves the criticism, its really just annoying but its not a complete dud i give it a 3.
