How does DJ Khaled get all these rappers to do songs for him?

[Malik]

I mean...how does that shyt even go down. "Yo...Weezy, lemme get you, Rick Ross, Jeezy, Plies and Kanye West on my album. All the backend is mine though"



Are they doing this shyt for free because they have a relationship with him?
Or is he paying all these different rappers? If so...that backend gotta be splitting that shyt 12 ways



Even if these rappers do get paid for a Khaled joint, it's still pointless to me. nikkas be lacing Khaled with some fukking heat that they could've saved for their own album. "We Taking Over", "All I Do is Win", "I'm On One" , "No New Friends". A record like "Im On One" could've made somebody's career and these nikkas just gave that joint away to Khaled

There are always a few musically weak artists who are socially powerful. Behind the scenes they make power moves so they end up with tons of collaborations. It's not surprising.

he's quite energetic/infectious/passionate and it either rubs off on the rappers or they just want him to shut up so they lay him a verse.

Dude used to be a DJ for a pretty big station in Miami, Im sure doing that he was able to exchange favors with artist and then slowly built from there. Now he's pretty much a brand and is cliqued up with YMCMB so I doubt it's hard for him to get the features now.

This may be a stretch but it's also a way for artist to keep their name relevant as being on a hot song w/o having to do their own promotion and what have you, in betwen albums and projects.

Most of those rappers are Young Money or Maybach.
