Zitat des Tages von DJ Khaled:
Every dollar I made from DJing, I put into my videos, promotion - everything.
'They' is... stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of 'they.' You might have a personal 'they.' They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don't like winners; they don't like people who's blessed. So everybody's got a different 'they.'
Be a player; don't play yourself. And don't play basketball. That's not your sport, Jeb Bush.

Basically what I'm trying to tell you is that it's almost impossible to drive a jet ski at night time unless you're in a city with lights lit up so you can navigate. Besides being pitch black, that water turn black at night. Listen, I don't recommend it.
When it all got taken away, I was becoming a young man. So I had to sacrifice to leave my family... Sleeping in my car, getting an apartment for a month and getting evicted the next month. Staying in the $25, $50 hotels.
Lil Wayne, that's my brother. Birdman, that's family.
A producer gets the whole vision done from top to bottom, to making the record to having the record delivered to the world. That's a producer.
When it comes down to my brand, We the Best, we're about the people and whoever is passionate and in love the way I'm in love when it comes down to the headphones I'm promoting.
I'm definitely gaining new fans, and that's the key of any success... gain more love.
Love to everybody who is out there progressing and taking things to the next level.
At the end of the day, I pray for the best.
Jeb Bush, I appreciate you. You a leader. You a Bush.
I remember I used to sleep on my records. In a room with no furniture. I remember I used to sleep in my car.
I want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.
It's safe to say headphones is a good business.
I stayed focused, and I never surrendered, and now I've been blessed. now I take care of my mother, my father, and my entire whole family.
I've been blessed to be somebody that's been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it's all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I'm saying, and it feels good 'cause it's good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.
When my record comes on, you know that's a DJ Khaled record. That's my formula, and the people love it.
I always make my dreams into goals.
Put it this way: If I asked, 'How's business?' and you say, 'Boomin' or 'Amazing,' I already know the answer.
I want to lose weight because I want to be focused, meaning healthy.
I'm not ashamed to say I fear something.
I know love is the answer.
Fan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It's a force of luv.
I'm just changing the game because I know what the fans want and the people want 'cause I'm a fan of hip-hop.
What's so beautiful about Miami is that we support each other. We're just one big family, not just the entertainers, just everyone in general.
Even before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they're going to tell you I've been DJ Khaled my whole life.
I put together amazing records, whether that's finding the beat or putting the right hook on there, and picking the right artists on the record. That's me being an A&R. And I'm making sure that they give me their best.
I love stuff from the Holy Land. It makes me feel blessed.
You gotta water your plants. Nobody can water them for you.
'They' are the people that don't believe in you, that say that you won't succeed. We stay away from 'They.'
I remember they used to tell me, they said, 'Khaled, you can't get a Rolls-Royce; you need to get one of them small ones.' So I went and bought a Phantom.
I tell myself every day I love my Jacuzzi, I love my marble floors, I love my high ceilings.
I want to appeal to everyone. Because I'm not saying I'm the best, but we the best.
Winning, to me, is easy. Winning more is the challenge.
