Why Everybody Hates DJ Khaled 

sorry gang accidentally said dr instead of uncle luke. dr luke makes lame pop music, my fault. anyway how do u guys feel about khaled?

He’s hated cause he preaches about being humble but acts the complete opposite

"I make albums so people can play it" I've never sat down and listen to a fucking Khaled album lmao

The difference between DJ Khaled and Tyler The Creator is that Khaled makes music that gets shoveled in your face whether you want to hear it or not; Tyler makes music that you WANT to seek out for yourself, be it out of curiosity or actual enjoyment. I wouldn't be surprised if Khaled got his airplay from radio payola.

I never understand those stories “my family came over with $20 to there name. So we sold clothes to make money” so the clothes just magically appeared and you sold it

Khaled's SNL performance is regarded is one of the worst ones. He stands awkwardly on stage and screams at you while talented artists around him do all the work.

The thing that really does piss me off is the fact he has a massive ego especially when he went to EDC how disrespectful he was to his fan thinking he was all that

Even before Tyler, a lot of people started looking at him sideways when he publicly stated that he didn't eat his wife.

You know who I don't hate? Pitbull. Dude's never gotten pinched. Never causes drama. Gives back to the community. Never dresses like a slob. Never says dumb stuff on Twitter.

he’s more of a meme know than a actual person

He is like Diddy, using others talent to get ahead.

No way he saw Birdman meet Wayne for the first time he’s cappin, Wayne says himself Birdman knew him since he was in his adolescence

Man some of us artist work so hard on production, compositions and recording and yet don't get any recognition, all our life. He should be thankful for sure.

When I started working in the hip hop industry (just as a driver) I was shocked how many decisions are made by managers and not due to artistic desires

Because hes talentless, rude, arrogant and ignorant lmao

That video of his bodyguards carrying him bc he didn't want to get his shoes dirty doesn't help either.

The only reason Khaled even has a career today is due to the artists he gets to feature on his stuff.

For me, him bailing from Hot Ones was another huge show of his inability to take heat or have humility.

How is he to say Tyler's music is not art or music that is played?? 😂😂😂😂

I remember when I was promoting clubs and like the the early 2000s. Maybe late '90s and we're doing some random club on the North shore of Boston and Khalid had a little fame. I remember people knew him at the time even though I had no idea who it was and I remember after the club he was outside in his car and the parking lot and me and my friends that were promoting we ended up sitting outside the club talking to him for like 2 hours until like 3:00 in the morning. He was a real cool guy. I think the public persona you see is much different than the private person cuz he seemed cool at the time

I'm not gonna lie, I never understood exactly WHAT he did either...He says "another one" a lot!

He went from a Miami DJ to working with the top rappers of the time with no explanation. No other DJ has ever done that. He doesn’t actually produce so how did he get connected to all those rappers? No way is his career organic, no way.

WE THE WORST MUSIC

I lived in Miami and the man was NOTORIOUS for interrupting songs during his sets on the radio. 99 JAMZ was unlistenable when he was one.

He was given a slot at EDC 2018 an EDM event and I remember everyone genuinely gathered at the stage to cheer him on. He showed up about 15min late to his set, repeatedly cut the music short just as everyone started to dance, and went over his set time 10 minutes to the point fans were jeering and chanting the next artist to come on stage. The best moment was when he would hold the mic out and say "DJ 🎤 " and the crowd would respond "Yellow Claw!!"

He doesn't hide his team???? Who is his team? I've never heard him promote anyone and he stole Grapeman's style

His snaps aren't funny, no one is missing out honestly

DJ Khaled=the highest paid hype man in the history of hip hop/rap. Nothing more. I used to actually give him credit for being a producer but he doesn't even do that. He's more like marketing manager who is in the studio when music is made by others. His first two CDs were good, after those it was all trash with a few good songs here and there.

Don't know why he is so popular. He doesn't produce lik Dr Dre or Timbaland. Never heard him rap or do anything live. All you hear is his big mouth in the backgrounds screaming " DJ Kaaaaaaaled " Anyone can DJ. It's not that difficult to do providing you know how to mix and keep a crowd moving. Honestly he is way too overrated for me

He’s wack honestly

I heard a girl say that "DJ Khlaled is her favorite artist." Ummm, I don't think she's every actually heard any of his music.

He literally lost me when he said underground producers using fl studio is whack. Like the dude hasn't made a beat in decades😤😤

He sold out his own people…

And he’s said nothing about Palestine, I didn’t even know he was Palestinian until now.

All i know, they ain't believe in us, GOD DID

He doesn't make music,.he talks over and plays famous rappers music and gets you to feel good about what your hearing while he's playing it. He doesn't make music..DAMN...ITS SO OBVIOUS WHAT HE IS AND DOES..YO THUMBS UP KHALED ✌️👍

I saw someone post “why is there no diss track towards DJ Khaled” Then someone replied “it’s like bullying the SPED kid”

Broo i forgot bout the “lost at sea” arc 🤣 that shit was funny as hell to watch

Maybe the issue is that We are moving away from Egoistic Outlooks in our art

I always think back to the time he was booed off-stage at a music fest in 2017

Puff daddy used to do the same thing back in the day. Talking all on the song, dancing all in the video, but didn't do anything, but handle the bills.

He’s the living embodyment of Now That’s What I Call Music for adults

The biggest insight into DJ Khaled for me came on the Hot Ones w/Sean Evans interview. Now I'm not taking away from people who throw in the towel on finishing all the wings off... at the end of the day if you don't want to you don't have to and I'm sure its pretty frigging spicy. However with Khaled it wasn't simply him pulling out and not wanting to finish off all the wings... it was the elaborate pitch he put out when he did so. I dont know if he was trying to save face or divert the attention from him "quitting", but the rant he went on really gave me a better insight into his character. He was so hell bent on twisting the narrative to be a win for him and assert that he's still "the best" that he came across as a bit sad to me. Instead of having the confidence to just say "damn these are hot as hell I don't want to do this" he had to go so over the top that he tried to teach Sean Evans a life lesson on knowing when the right time to call it quits is and how that plays into being a "winner". The part about focusing on his "health" and his rant about how "dangerous" the spice levels were are comical now that you see all the top tier celebrity men, women, young, and old that have just had fun with it and powered through. Be wary of the one who uses way too many words and spins a narrative to convey something that could simply be put to bed with a confident one-sentence statement. They usually are overcompensating for something.

I haven't liked him since he said in an interview that he doesn't go down on his wife... She only does it to him because he is king.

Ive been saying that for years! Khaled isnt anything but a living human producer tag! Nothing more he doesnt rap,he doesnt make music like that he just pulls artists toghrter to make a hit sing he dont do much else anymore

DJ Khaled is better at being a comedian than a DJ

He spitting Diddy's playbook on producing, stealing, and taking credit for other people's work. All these down low rappers getting a-head on each other 😮

12:17 It's called pop music. There's plenty of INSANELY good music that would never even be CONSIDERED to be put on the radio, played in a club, or even at a private party. You'd think someone who consideres themselves an "artist" would understand there's different types of music- Club

DJ Khalid saying he makes mainstream basic music is hilarious like we aren't Starbucks bitches of course nobody was playing that crap we are human beings with individuality and Tyler speaks to that and doesn't stray away from it. Khalid creates music for clones. Tyler makes music for people. Simple as that

I didn't know uncle Luke of 2 Live crew fame gave Khaled his big break that's crazy

People always finds something to complain or hate on someone. Like who cares find something to do with your own life instead of hating on people's success

I remember a young skinny Khaled coming to the Dub Lab Stidio in Miami to cut specials for his "Arab Attack" radio show. Anytime top JamacianArtist was in town he would pay them to cut dub plates specials. That did alot for in program.

I grew up in Miami and I use to go to Clubs where he was the DJ..trust me, it is true..the lines were literally around the block every time he was there

Man why tf didn’t I realize that video of him twerking under water was really him😅 the way that shit had me screaming😂

19:21 honestly if Khalid doesn’t know what’s going on in Gaza then I’d rather him not speak on it… Watching somebody talk about something they know very little about is infuriating

85/100 vidiq score. You're getting hugely bingeworthy. Keep it up brother algo gonna bless you insanely soon. 1M this year

To be fair, most bosses arent very talented, they just knew the right people at the right time to get ahead. Thats Life, its not about being fair.

I don't think they has ever been a time were he was loved by everyone, from the song 'we taking over' which was his debut single I've had migraines

Bro the DJ Khaled Snapchat saga is the greatest shit ever. I remember being in class watching them with my friend just geekin. Dude was always talking about “the key 🔑 “

thanks for mentioning the thing about palestine, i could be convinced of neutrality towards him despite being a huge tyler fan but his silence on palestine makes it impossible.

The immigrant story of only having "$20 to their name" think for a second. How can one survive in america with only $20? Sex work maybe? Or just lies...where did they get clothes to sell in the first place? Where did they get the car from? How come they didnt starve to death or die of thirst?

Its crazy how fast confidence can turn to arrogance. He started out humble and now the fame and fortune got to his head. Thats why I love timbaland and pharrell

i never really knew much of him but seeing him say random shit like “gatorade” or getting lost on a jet ski and documenting the whole thing is funny af “we out here”

Nice one brother but am still a huge fan of him. From Qatar, 🇶🇦 but am not Qatari. Originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬 In Africa, DJ K has a big fan base.

Not sticking up for your roots at a time like this is beyond cold, it's pathetic.

If you didn't see through this Pillsbury Dough Boy right away, you're blind

nobody grows up and tell themselves ''I wanna be like dj khaled""

"Holla at me Baby" with Wayne, Ross, Paul Wall, and Pitbull came out before "We Taking ova".....

I honestly don’t think that anyone hates him. It’s that people just don’t care. It’s that simple.

I'm lukewarm when it comes to DJ Khaled, not really a fan but glad he has success. I was ecstatic when Tyler's album Igor, took number 1 over his though. Tyler, The Creator is very talented and that album in my opinion is one of his best, so it was great for him to finally be recognized by more than just his fans.

I don't want him to say anything! Nobody should get their world news or insights on issues from people like Dj Khalid

He actually CO-PRODUCES (participates in making the beat) of many of his songs tho. You can take a look at the credits on wikipedia.

Damn the quality on these is right up there with Patrick cc. Keep grinding this type of content, loved this first video, you got a new sub. 🔥

Bob Marleys guitar. Also, you should've kept his adlip in the beginning bro.

Great bio but that Dr Luke part got me asking around at what point did we call Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke aka Luke Sky Walker bka Captain D “Dr Luke”?

Never liked him. “Universally liked” is a very narrow perspective.

It’s so weird because growing up in the 90s I remember this guy making Jamaican Dancehall and reggae mixtapes

It's crazy how Suge saying, “Any artist out there that want to be an artist and stay a star, and don’t have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing… come to Death Row!” applies to him years later!!! But, it's worse for him because no one wants to hear him yelling, repeating the same thing, and interrupting the artists at the worse time which ruined so many performances. Nip's tribute was the perfect example that shows how he's all about himself, and makes himself the center focus when Nip was supposed to be but he took that away from him, John Legend, and Marsha Ambrosius who were both genuine in their performance honoring him. Plus, the man who sported headphones as a constant promotion is the same man who then replaced them with his son and used him as a prop.

Back when i was a teen I asked myself who DJ khalid was and what does he do.

when you sell your soul, the rewards of earth are gifted to you... at a price

He always seemed like a caricature of rappers and DJs to me. Never thought he was real!

you completely skipped over his terror squad time and fat joe connections, good video tho

@4:50 It’s just Luke. No Doctorate nor the title of Doctor ever in his name. He got his claim to fame as the lead member of 2 Live Crew who were also pioneers of the “Miami Bass” sound. This was well before he became a radio DJ in his native Miami. Edit: saw the comment explaining the mistake *after* posting this. (I’ll edit but never delete, especially when at the same time, Dr. Dre is mentioned only as “Dre”.) If you’ve seen “Friday” you’ve heard Luke’s music before.

Hi Matty I knew DJ Khaled from Terror Squad lean back song and thought he was a group member or their DJ, would have loved to hear his connection with Fat Joe and the group in the 2000s

How did you not mention him being Terrror Squad in the beginning of his career which gave him a lot of his huge connections.

Any producer that has to announce his name on every track he's produced has to be on an ego trip. We recognize a Primo, RZA, Manny, Just Blaze, Shizz, and most great producers without them having to announce.

At the end you cherry picked a comment to summarize the publics view but another one says "without him we prolly wouldnt have gotten a lot of bangers like Im On One and For Free" - I believe many of us understand and appreciate his sense for music and talent to put on amazing music projects together succesfully. Cool video tho/

Fun fact...he also males a brief appearance on the cult classic SHOTTAS as the bodyguard for Wyclefs character

DJ Khaled just makes glorified compilation albums of old unused verses and old beats

he sits in the studio eating chicken wings

When I read it I saw it as "travel with me to all shows, and when you sign with me I will blow you" 😅

Surprised you didn't bring up the H3 video, I feel like it was brought Khaled from the mainstream crowd, to the made fun of crowd.

Another one

What I find interesting is Tylers process on Igor is what Khaled has always done, find artists great artists, and use them on his beats. it turned out to be a much better project then any of Khaleds music.

He has connection with the royal family of UAE, he is direct cousin of the richest kid in Dubai. There is episode of MOVLOGS (with Rihanna) where this can be seen. The rest is history.

17:23 That motion in the ocean (pool) was ill 😂😂

He has not spoken out for Palestinian people in Gaza & said nothing when a Palestinian kid who grew up in the same New Orleans Palestinian community also was killed in the West Bank.

He was hating on Tyler the Creator ridiculously and I was already on the cusp of being hella annoyed with Khaled. I really want to know what he does because them stacked features be super ass

as a Palestinian I am surprise he survived in the music industry this long, because we all know who runs the music industry.

Gil Green and Judd Allison are the man's. Did a couple shoots with them. Khaled was always kind of annoying on record but can't deny the man's work ethic. 2007-9 was some crazy year for everyone.
