I so don't like Khaled
He's like a cac trying so hard to act hip hop.
There's video of dude at hip hop conventions from 15+ years ago, grinding and networking, as well as old radio clips of him on his hip hop shyt.
In the Black Moon documentary from 2003-ish that they put out as a companion piece to their album, they filmed their promo tour as they made the radio rounds and it included Khaled interviewing Buckshot at his Miami radio station and bigging up how much he loved BCC and all that.
So, he's very hip hop from where I sit. No trying needed.
