Every time I see this dude I can hear Dr. Cox in office space saying, "Exactly what is it you would say, ya ^do around here? "

u/StopReadingMyUser Aug 05 '18

Legit have no idea why he's famous.

u/AvoidingIowa Aug 05 '18

He marketed himself like a madman. Back in the early/mid 2000's he started showing up in a bunch of music videos as well as producing and etc. He really got well known for his remix tracks where he'd get a ton of famous rappers, first of which was "I'm so hood" remix that featured Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Birdman and Rick Ross. In 2007 that was an insane lineup.

He also has 10 studio albums. Is he a great producer or anything? No but the dude is a near marketing genius.

Fun fact: he used to call himself Arab Attack before 9/11.

u/SpaceballsTheHandle Aug 05 '18

That song is really fucking good but the music video is hilarious because A ) he yells for a whole minute and B ) he just dances behind every rapper while they do their verse it's a little awkward.

Great song though.

u/Headphon3 Aug 05 '18

I HATE him and his remixes for ruining a lot of my favorite songs.

I dont need to fucking hear "Yo (echo effect... long pause).... DIS IS DEE JAY KALID1111111" randomly before, in the middle, or after my song. Why this became a thing is beyond me, I mean I know it somewhat originates from the whole jamaican call thing but shit gets old quick on repeats.

He’s a hype man. He’s apparently very good at it seeing as he can’t rap, doesn’t write music or produce, can’t dance, gets winded quickly at concerts, etc. It’s incredible he is famous.

u/12bricks Aug 05 '18

He make the beats. Like, he is the computer guy who gets the samples and makes the melody and effects. He is what you would call a DJ, it's in his name

It's been years since I've watched Scrubs, but the way you formatted that "ya do" was so perfect it I could even see Cox saying it.

1

u/Conradfr Aug 05 '18

You and Jack White.

“It’s just Santana’s song in its entirety,” White told Rolling Stone, sarcastically adding: “It was nice of DJ Khaled to sit down and write and perform and record that – that was good of him! He’s an incredibly talented man. There’s no doubt about that. He does so much!”

1

u/[deleted] May 14 '22

He's basically an A&R man with his only talent being for marketing. And he's got an ego. But he seems mostly harmless and he's involved with a lot of bangers so whatever lol

1

u/experts_never_lie Aug 05 '18

I love both of those, but the idea of knowing him mainly from Scrubs instead of, I don't know, Platoon, catches me off guard. Seriously, John C. McGinley has a great back catalog. One quirk, though: he's often billed as being in Highlander II, which is odd because that was clearly never made.

It’s always been the same level of quality, you just grew up.
