Khaled is a Southern DJ at the end of the day. His major projects with every southern rapper on the track, is a huge reason the south maintained our reign into the 00s. The consolidation of all the Southern artists.
Word.
I implore anyone who doesn't understand Khaled to watch his Narduar interview.
Khaled hustled very hard in the Miami dj scene. Mad parties, carrying those heavy vinyl crates, connections.
Khaled is respected.
Yes it does trip me out on what beats he 100 percent produced but that's how I feel about anyone with ghost producers - I hate it because it's lies.
But Khaled is to be respected for his work I agree. I just want to hear 100 percent Khaled beat. If he made I'm on one from scratch then he's a g.
Producer wise the few I trust are Premier, Pete Rock, Necro, Madlib, J Dilla, Rza's earlier work, 4th disciple and some others.
I respect Hip for dropping a solo album that charted - but that was in 2003.
Why not drop albums instead of disrespecting people?
My biggest fear is being one of these negative old ppl talking the world with no real results.
Jay Z, Redman, Method Man are positive rappers in their 50s.
And Fat Joe! He's an example to follow. And G Rap and Kool Keith and Krs.
