Speaking of DJ Khaled, most listeners are disgusted with him, in addition to hoping that his favorite singer song will not appear in his "shouting Mai Sanlian", the image of his big belly and poop upstart is also unbearable to twist his nose after seeing it - greasy! It's true that DJ Khaled doesn't give people a good impression, but everyone can remember that he is also real.
The so-called "people can not be disguised", a detailed count of DJ Khaled's life trajectory, you will find that he is actually a very shrewd businessman, his business acumen and connections, status is far beyond our imagination.
No one is born fat
DJ Khaled was also skinny and hungry
DJ Khaled was born in New Orleans on November 26, 1975 to Palestinian parents who were in their 20s when he first arrived in Louisiana, when his father had only $20 in his pocket and his parents' income came from the local flea market's clothes trade.
So Khaled's story is also an inspirational story of a slum boy becoming a multimillionaire, influenced by the music of his early parents, Khaled began his DJ career at the age of 13, because his parents worked outside every day, Khaled had to be in the garage with music, and he had a relatively sound DJ device in his hand at that time.
Probably because of the need for work, his parents had moved to Orlando, Florida, far from Orleans, and in the dismal business, his parents were robbed and there were some problems in the business, so his parents moved back to New Orleans, but Khaled did not bow to life, he stayed in Orlando to pursue his music career, when he was not yet 18 years old.
Later, in his autobiography The Keys, he wrote: "I was just a child, I was often chased away, when my friends came to my house to play, my house was empty, there was no furniture, there was nothing in the refrigerator, only records, records were my furniture, I slept on the floor with records, records were my companions." (The Keys is also a concept he brought with him when surfing the web, and it is also the concept of his album.)
In these gloomy days in Orlando, Khaled started out with a few DJ opportunities at the club and was occasionally invited to play the music he made in a local studio, but he didn't earn enough to make ends meet — he only earned $100 a week, and eventually he returned to his parents and back to New Orleans.
Starting in Orlando and ending in New Orleans, it is estimated that it will be a few hours
It was very hard during that time, there was not enough to eat, and naturally he was a thin man. People get fat because of the gradual abundance of life, "the belt gradually widens and there is no regret (literally)", and later he wants to lose weight is too late.
Khaled returned to New Orleans to work odd jobs, recuperate, save money to plan for the future, and get a job at Odyssey Records.
A casual search found this shop
At that time, New Orleans was on the cusp of hip-hop music, and the No Limit Records Tank Corps led by the well-known rapper/businessman Master P made a name for southern music, but before the glory of No Limit disappeared, Khaled did not intersect with these merchants or artists who were on the cusp of the time.
Instead, he supported some budding singers, collaborated with them, connected with them, and yes, birdman, Lil Wayne, and Mavado, who were also in New Orleans.
Because there was no online media earlier, MCs had to go to the street or in record stores to sell themselves, so Khaled became acquainted with these people - lil Wayne was only 12 years old at the time (it should be around 1993), and in retrospect, the first two had a one-handed dominance over the music scene in the early to mid-2010s, and the aftermath of YMCMB continues to this day, and it can only be said that Khaled really looked like a torch.
This is also one of Khaled's investment philosophies: it has always been long-term, and it is normal not to see returns in the short term.
From New Orleans to Miami
Hey my name is DJ Khaled
Soon, a year later, he got a chance to "do it all over again," and he took the top spot in a DJ competition and won $5,000.
He took the money to rent a U-haul to load his records (DJs at the time mostly used physical records), then returned to Orlando, and not long after returning to Florida, Khaled was repeatedly stopped by the police because his driver's license was revoked, and finally locked up for a month.
Dj Khaled's encounter can only be said to be a classic reproduction
This month in prison reinforced Khaled's determination to make a big deal out of it, and in 1994, the day after his release, he moved from Orlando to Miami. "I had less than $20 in my pocket, just like my father did when he moved to the United States. It's time to conquer Miami. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I had to. ”
Khaled began his career as a DJ in Miami, occasionally living with his girlfriend's mother, more often sleeping in his car, and in 1996 Khaled got the opportunity to work as a DJ on Pirates of the Caribbean radio Station Mixx96, but he was just trying to find a place to sleep.
The microphone is printed with the familiar Jamz 99, but our Khaled has long been...
A year later, he worked on the Friday night slot of Jamz 99 hip-hop radio in Miami, which was more well-known than the previous one, and his fame began there, and he was even able to host the show with Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew and form a group called "Terror Squad" with Fat Joe.
It was also during that time that the hip-hop music scene on both sides of the east and west changed dramatically, southern music entered people's field of vision like a third party, and Khaled happened to be in Miami, which belongs to the south, but Miami is still southeastern than the "third coast", and we may only be familiar with "Miami bass (campbell, who was mentioned above and Khaled as a host has a great influence on this genre"),Miami bass By the 1900s, it could be said that it was dying, and then the dance style of the mid-00s brought this kind of music back to people's vision.

But the musical road in the south is still very long, and Khaled has no direct connection to the development of music in the south. In 2003, Khaled rose to prominence on the radio station to which he belonged, and 99 Jamz opened khaled's own show, after which he kept playing the artist's songs on the radio, and gradually he had the idea of creating his own music. In 2006, he founded the label We the Best.
The father of network marketing
Male Kardashian is by no means second
Since the establishment of We The Best, the time has come for the anglers to close the line, Khaled has invited all the singers he has had friends with before, hang up his own name, and can also appear in the MV, Mei Zizi.
Various awards have been won, and the number of tickets for beautiful luxury cars is countless, and in 2009 he was also named president of Def Jam South (Def Jam South, but Khaled stepped down in 2012).
Some people here may have to ask, how in front of some exciting stories, to this part of the beginning of the capital show off this set, yes, it is like this, but the middle of the process you have to know, I will not be his friends of everyone, the story that happened when he made friends, we just need to know that he continued to expand his network during this time, so that his social circle reached an exaggerated level, it is no exaggeration to say that knowing DJ Khaled is equivalent to knowing the entire American hip-hop circle.
It is estimated that many people want to know why Khaled has Jay-Z in many albums, because Jay-Z's Roc Nation belongs to Def Jam, and Kanye West and Nas are also from this label. Jay-Z and Nas were also featured in the same song on his latest album Khaled Khaled, the first time in hip-hop history, showing how big the fat man's face is (he also said that Jay-Z is his manager).
The two of them took the most photos
But Jay-Z's end point also became a businessman, the so-called businessman and businessman... There must be a friendship that allows Jay-Z to rap on the 808 Mafia beat; and Drake and Khaled often collaborate presumably because khaled and Weezy are related, and Drizzy is Weezy's little brother, rounding should also be helped, the above three are the most big-name singers with Khaled, and by these singers' labels (Young Money/Def Jam/Epic Records) extended his tentacles to more people, the spider attribute was full, and Tang San was ashamed to see it.
However, Khaled's previous most talked about is his strange marketing method, when TikTok and Instagram and other platforms are not yet popular, Europe and the United States prefer to use Vine and SnapChat, and DJ Khaled is called "the king of SnapChat".
He tirelessly shared his private life as a big star on SnapChat, and from time to time released some eye-catching things, from the current aesthetic point of view, there is a vibrato fast hand inner taste, the most powerful thing is that he also released a clip of his son Asahd's birth on SnapChat (he also has an album called "Father Of Asahd", Khaled's love of his son We can all see, do anything to bring their son), It was an eye-opener.
On another occasion, he openly proposed to Nicki Minaj on MTV's live show, and his new single was released within a few days, and some projects and albums were released with such hot topics, which is not exactly the set used by the Kardashian family?
We often say that when a singer or micro-business trolling on social media, it is estimated that he has something new to release, such as Travis Scott is the most open-ended, using the heat of breaking up with his girlfriend to send "Highest In The Room", and then the song landed at the top of the Billboard singles chart as desired.
Stormi was intimidated by this bearded uncle!
Of course, during this time, the pace of his music release has not stopped, and in the 15 years since the first album released by We The Best in 2006, he has released 12 projects, each of which is a studio album, but most of them are collections and have no themes. In terms of length, these singers and album names are not listed one by one, anyway, the popular singers are definitely there, if not, either with Khaled or with the heat.
You want to ask him if he does music himself? As mentioned earlier, he has this foundation, in the early works he will also give himself some intro/outro/interlude or something, and in the later works Khaled's existence is entirely in the opening few sentences of "shouting mai", but his few sentences do not belong to the category of producer watermark Oh, because the songs are not produced by him, but we can indeed see him and the singer, the producer in the studio session of the dynamics, to further show his network.
But from the perspective of so many projects, you can think that he is buying the singer's verse, buying the producer's beat and then combining it to make a name for himself, which is a long-term investment, after all, musicians are sleeping and making money, that is, you are a DJ, you can also do this. But these verses and beats of course have to be approved by Khaled himself, and after so many years in the hip-hop circle, Khaled has his own aesthetic, so the songs on the album are of course not bad.
DJ Khaled is also a sneaker collector, because of his exaggerated connections, he has some precious level sneaker collection, remember Kanye took off his shoes to send Khaled new shoes, this, is the face!
Well, the article has been written, I don't know if it has refreshed everyone's understanding of DJ Khaled?
I feel that everyone is bored with DJ Khaled because of two points, one of which is the shouting in front of his songs, but if you know the history of DJs, you don't think it's annoying, because DJs are talking about themselves and introducing themselves, but it may be that many of your favorite songs have fronts that make you feel bored.
A good example is the overture to Migos's classic "Culture" called DJ Khaled to shout a few words - the same as the name of this album "Culture", they are paying tribute to this culture (if you don't understand, you can see the article I posted a few days ago about DJ culture), and the only way to reflect this culture is, of course, our DJ Khaled.
The second point that makes people repugnant him is nothing more than spitting out the fragrance of Tyler, The Creator's album, saying that people should listen to his album, and his album should be played on the radio, rather than Tyler's style of not being a ghost.
The question is like scolding a blogger and saying, "Your blog post isn't really good enough for me!" ", so everyone understands, just smile.
