What would you say you do here?

Wait, does he not even produce the beats anymore? Wow... His last useful quality. Now all he's got is bitching out of Hot Ones.

Tipper Gore has still got it!

Did he ever? From what I understood, the "DJ" in his name just comes from his time as a radio DJ or whatever.

Took me longer than it should have to realise who the interviewers are.

I guess it ages me that I got who the interviewers were right away but had no idea who the DJ is.

To be fair, I only know of DJ Khaled from things that make fun of him for being low effort.

You're a Michael Bolton fan as well?

Same, and even though he's name checked in the cartoon and this thread, I still have no idea who he is...

That was hilarious.

I hate that no-talent assclown - why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks!

He's the guy from the 'another one' memes is about as far as I know

Dj Khaled is kind of the posterchild for egotistical dickhead, I will never dispute this. However, his skill is bringing talent together and he is pretty damn good at it. He's more like a movie producer/casting director than a music producer in how he does business. He hears a beat, thinks "Who would destroy on this?" Buys the beat, Makes some phone calls, gets some artists onboard to do a verse, pays the artists for their work, mixes the track or pays a producer who he thinks has skills to do it for him and releases it.

He is the child of Palestinian immigrants and built himself his dream job and is worth an estimated 70 million, have a look at his wikipedia for the sheer number of awards he has been nominated for... Talentless hacks cant do that. Raging egomaniacs with annoying personalities sure can tho.

Looked him up, he apparently won a Grammy for this in 2022:

I really can't tell what he contributed there...

Don't know anything about the man, but love watching social media bag on him.

"He has no talent of his own!"

Well, he must have something as he got filthy stinking rich in one of the most competitive fields out there.

At least he still has his guitar skills

To add - his episode of Hot Ones makes it absolutely clear that he's just a bullshit-ass person, his "musical career" is a symptom more than anything.

I am normally on board with the idea of "this person made it to the top of a competitive field, he can't be XYZ" but in this case, idk man. People absolutely become famous in the music industry while having very little to offer beyond the ability to generate hype/buzz. It's an industry that basically exists to misrepresent people in positive ways for profit, and there's an almost endless number of levers to pull and buttons to push to make that happen. Talent and success in that world are just not all that well correlated.
