[DJ Khaled]

Maybe one or two.

[Fat Joe]

You've been in many rap beefs. You was in Fat Joe, 50 cent beef.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes.

[Fat Joe]

Jada Beanie, you put them together.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm the first one to put Jada Beanie on a record. When Beanie came out of jail, I had Jada and Beans on a record and talking, like, a different type of talk. I'm the one that was behind the scenes when Ross and Young Cheesy was going at it. Because Ross, my brother, you know that. Nobody, everybody know that. But I got love for Jeezy. That's my brother, too. A real one. Like me going to always say, we got to come together, we got to stick together. We can never let nobody divide and conquer us. I'm the one that helped put that back together. Joe and Joe. I mean, Ross and Jeezy as Jeezy and Ash. Ross, now, don't ask me.

[Fat Joe]

Let me ask you a question. With all this beef going on that was.

[DJ Khaled]

I survived the Fat Joe, 50 cent beef.

[Fat Joe]

That's a big beef.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, Ross, when they going at it, fat Joe with 50 Cent going at it, all that. But Joe, we going to keep it real. I'm the one out of the crew that always says, yo, we don't need that. We need to come together. We don't need that. We need love. We need positivity. And at the same time, it's not just that we don't want to slow up the money.

[Fat Joe]

No, but did you try that with this nuclear bomb that went on with like. Because I know the six. God was always your brother. He supported.

[DJ Khaled]

I love Drake.

[Fat Joe]

Ross is your day one. I love future's your brother.

[DJ Khaled]

I love Future.

[Fat Joe]

What did that feel like when the whole world's fighting each other?

[DJ Khaled]

And what it feel like is that I didn't get in that energy. There's two energies I'm not going to get in Hate. Ask me a question. How do you deal with hate? Please, can you ask me?

[Fat Joe]

How do you deal with hate, brother?

[DJ Khaled]

I don't. And then when you speak about all those great legends that you just talked about from Drake, my brother Future. Drake, who else you name? Ross. Ross, those are my brothers. If you question, you can't question my friendship. How it's impossible. Ain't nobody like motherfucking DJ Khaled. Joe, you know that. Joe, you know, take your glasses off, let them see. You know that.

[Fat Joe]

I super know that, okay?

[DJ Khaled]

So. No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is when it come to me, not only I'm going to tell my brothers, we got to represent love. Even when shit get a lot of this shit is a misunderstanding and a lot of not communication, okay? And that's what it be about, lack of communication and misunderstanding. When it come down to DJ Khaled, I'm the one that's going to try to fix it. I don't want no trophy, I don't want no promotion. I do a lot of shit behind the scenes at the end of the day is I love my brothers. And my brothers know that. I guarantee you they know that. That's what I'm about.

[Fat Joe]

So you couldn't squash this one?

[DJ Khaled]

I would love to squash it.

[Fat Joe]

So it's still up.

[DJ Khaled]

That's why I don't use the word could. Everything's possible with God, okay? And I believe in God and I roll with God. They ain't believing us. God did and be ready for a llama God. And that's the world of God. So if this the world of God. Guess what? Oh, matter of fact, thank you guys for coming to the holy ground. This is the Cattle residence. The holy ground. You know what I'm saying? That's what it's about. I'm a. Yo, Joe. Take it how you want to take it. I'm about unity, peace, love, and I'm. And when it comes down to music, Jada, I'm a collaborator. That's what I do. I don't rap. Now, if I rap, it'd be a problem. Cause ain't nobody gonna outwork me. Jada. Write all my rhymes. I start tomorrow. I show them how to do this. Cause I ain't gonna stop facts. I'm just being honest.

[Fat Joe]

[Fat Joe]

Because, you know, you took a flag.

[DJ Khaled]

[Fat Joe]

[Jadakiss]

Ladies and gentlemen.

God bless your family.

[DJ Khaled]

Thank you.

[Fat Joe]

You live a life that many would dream of living. How do you keep touch with reality? Because you got to understand the viewers and the people.

[DJ Khaled]

Why? I have the answer for you, God, is reality. That's the problem. Everybody talking to my. What's reality? Keeping it real. Keep it. God. Keep it. God.

[Fat Joe]

Understand that.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, no, no, no. Overstand that I over. That's the reality.

[Fat Joe]

Let me just keep.

[DJ Khaled]

God. No, I know that, but let me just tell you, because you just said something before that. You said family. That's right. In life, I can speak for myself. I dreamed and it was a goal to have a family. When you met me, I was grinding for my family without a family. Meaning, as in, you know what I mean? Asada and lime and my wife. That's how focused I was when you met me. You know that? You know when they say, yo, you gotta work, that's my favorite thing, is to outwork everyone. So my job is to protect my kids and my wife. That's my job. And that's the job and that's my life. So when you ask me a question like that, that's all I gotta tell you. What else you want me to tell you?

[Fat Joe]

See, I view everything as inspiration. So when I see from island to island, on plane, your own plane, this, that, I look at everything as inspiration.

[DJ Khaled]

They told me I couldn't fly, so I went and got a Global 6500. They said I could never fly, and I was scared to fly. When Assad was born, I flew immediately. God said, callum, here's Assad. You're fearless now. Yo, Joe. This the Joe and Jada. I've been waiting for this.

[Fat Joe]

I've been watching you give back to everybody. Not taking credit for it, but just giving back. Giving back to all communities and everything. How important is it for you to give back to the people? Because I'm sure you can't walk the show.

[DJ Khaled]

Ever since I knew what life was, I've been giving back. When I was broke, I was giving back, and I'm always going to give back. We've been giving back from day one. That's what we do. If you see it, man, bless up. If you don't, bless up, through my blessings and more success, we started a foundation called Chef Melissa. You know, I ate a lot.

[Fat Joe]

I definitely want to eat that.

[DJ Khaled]

That's that lobster with the caviar.

[Fat Joe]

Come here.

[DJ Khaled]

That's the lobster with the caviar.

[Fat Joe]

So let me tell you.

[DJ Khaled]

And that's Chef Melissa. Here's it.

[Jadakiss]

Because the fans, not only do they got love and they show us love, and they do so much beautiful things by supporting our music and our brands, but it's so much shit going on that if the shit ain't potent, that shit lasts for a day or two. So it's back to the basics. So now the fans gotta see you work, they gotta see you sweat, they gotta see you put in that groundwork. It's back to them Big Pun, Fat Joe stickers.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes, it is.

[Fat Joe]

In this World, not just this industry, that when you see people keep it real with each other, you can't believe it. And all they doing is being men, real women. If you stay solid and you represent your brother, they look at it like, what? It's a miracle that you guys, you know, keep it real with each other. Why has that been erased? You know, we going through some shit.

[DJ Khaled]

[Fat Joe]

Yeah. I try to tell him, guys, this.

[DJ Khaled]

Ain'T just a show. Like, yo. Like, this ain't just records. These guys have. Have unbelievable legendary history that we love and respect.

[Fat Joe]

Know what I told Jada? People are thanking me so much every day because this guy has been their favorite rapper. They never heard him talk. They're like, I can't believe this guy talks. No, your fans never knew your true personality. They knew your music. They never seen you talk. They come up to me every day, yo, he's so funny. He's this, he's that. Thank you for making him talk.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Joe, I agree with you, J. Listen, he's not lying. I'm sorry. I know you. You my brother. You always put a smile on my face, make me laugh when I come to Yonkers. You make me feel like I'm at home. When we record records, there's so many legendary stories I have with you. And out of all those stories, you always kept it so 100 and so real. Trust me, there's not many like you. You know what I'm saying? And then when you're doing this show, I knew you would only do the type of show like this if you was beside somebody that was one of the realest that ever did it. Facts. I'm just being honest. And that's what I said before this. I said, this is Joe and Jada. I know. I knew that Jada was like, kissing Joey Cracks.

[Fat Joe]

I knew that Jada don't like talking.

[DJ Khaled]

Like, let's not play ourselves.

[Fat Joe]

I knew Jada don't like talking. I walked him into a room the first day we shot. I said, yo, Jada, I don't know what your finances is.

[DJ Khaled]

Not a lot of money, though. I ain't gonna lie.

[Fat Joe]

No, no. You got a lot of.

[DJ Khaled]

No, a Lot, I call it.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, you got a lot of.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, Jada Brown paperback. Jada is a brown paperback legend.

[Fat Joe]

You the dumb king of brown.

[DJ Khaled]

He laughing because he know he's real. You know many people I know that brought Brown Paper bag to Jadakiss. When you said. When you said how many features he got, he had a smile. Cause you know how many brown bags came through. See your crew laughing because you love a brown paper bag. But when we made the song Brown Paper Bag, I was disappointed in myself. And then put you on it.

[Jadakiss]

No, I was the mat. That's one of the maddest moments I feel like I supposed to be on this, though.

[DJ Khaled]

Imagine him on brown paper bat. He would have went crazy.

[Fat Joe]

And I tell him, I go like, yeah, he would have went crazy. So I tell him like this. To see your Jada. I don't know what your finances are. I know you doing great. I'm doing great. But we have an opportunity in this show right here to get the super bag. And that means it's going to get uncomfortable sometimes. It's going to get whatever. But we got to stand our ground and we got to go all out. We can't play. You know, I started it off the first. I came out, boop, boop. The JB seats the distance. I started shooting at everybody to see who wanted the drama right quick. Everybody said, joe, this podcast, chill podcast. But I told Jada, yo, we got no choice. Let me explain something to you. The reason why we love TNT is because Charles Barkley is a Hall of Famer. I'll go down your throat like Barkley. You got Shaquille o', Neal, most dominant player in the NBA. You got Kenny Smith. The point is, people want people who really played the game. Yes, from the bottom. Yes to the top.

[DJ Khaled]

That's right. That has seen everything across the world, my man.

[Fat Joe]

Top five, dead or alive, real talk. And then you got Joe Crack, whatever that mean to you. Right together. I knew all these guys was in trouble. Everybody's in trouble. You said it because the authenticity is too real.

[DJ Khaled]

It's like you're fake. How you going to out talk us? Show crack. You said it perfect, Jada. That's what I was trying to tell you. And that's why this show is special, because not just me, but I could speak. I would think I could speak for a lot of us. We've been waiting for this. We've been waiting for this show.

[Fat Joe]

What about DJ Khaled? What could he do? Now you're filthy rich. You hop, skipping the jump, every country. If you go to a bad bunny show, you on stage with him, you crowd surf in the football game. What else could you do? Now what are you trying to prove? What else can you do to add on to the world because you've done so much?

[DJ Khaled]

Joe Crack? I'm not trying to prove nothing. My only competition is me. I'm working on the 14th album, A Lama. God. Some people can't make it past their first album to have a career. Not only do I love music, I remember coming as a kid. I had to be at least 7, 8 years old when I fell in love with music. Around 10 and 11, I had to know like, yo, this shit is serious. 12, 13. I said, this is my life. So hip hop, my life. And it changed my life. And it's done so much for my life. But also throughout my career, I knew I was going to be an entrepreneur. I knew I was gonna make music. I knew I would be a dj. I knew I would be a producer. I knew I'd be an artist. I knew I would be a music exec. I knew that I was one day gonna be a part of music history.

[Fat Joe]

That's right.

[DJ Khaled]

I don't know how, what I was gonna do as far as like, you know, when the albums came, I remember dropping the first album. Joe, I came to you. We had many talks on the swimming pool. I think I was convincing you about put Eminem on lean back. I was telling him like, he's like, yo, I told him, put Eminem on lean back. And he was like, yo, Khalid, we can't.

[Fat Joe]

I'm like, I thought we couldn't get him.

[DJ Khaled]

I was like, yo, I'm like, what the fuck he talking about? This Joey Crack.

[Fat Joe]

That's when I really knew the Power of Khaled. So Khaled's relentless, determined. I mean, I heard stories of you getting guys on records where you climbed over their banshee gates.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes. Facts.

[Jadakiss]

One of the most consistent, relentless.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes.

[Jadakiss]

Knock down your doorknob.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes.

[Jadakiss]

He needs his verse.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, listen. But Kiss, hold on.

[Jadakiss]

Came out of the incinerated. He goes beyond.

[DJ Khaled]

But Joe, hold on. I'm glad he said that, because, first of all, that's facts.

[Fat Joe]

I'm always here for you.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, no, no. The reason why I'm saying that is because even when it's not my record, remember I a. R'd a lot of my brother Ross's albums with him and Pooch. And I remember how to get J. The Kiss on Maybach Music.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah. One of the Maybachs.

[DJ Khaled]

One of the Maybach Music parts. And Ross like, yo, we need Kiss on there. I was like, yo, we reached out to Kiss. Kiss automatically like, yo, I got you. I'm in New York City. The problem is we gotta turn in the album. I called him. We gotta turn in the album. The next day, I'm lighting up Kiss's phone like no other people around him.

[Fat Joe]

Nobody can get.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, listen, listen.

[Fat Joe]

Y' all dated Kiss, same day.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen down on me. Not just Jada. Kiss, everybody. Finally, I got the message to Kiss. He's like, yo, come to Yonkers studio. Kiss, did I show up.

[Jadakiss]

Pulled up the D block.

[DJ Khaled]

Pulled up a D block, played the record. Kiss, you know what he do? Light one up. Let that music play.

[Fat Joe]

You did it. Hey, continue.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, I'm just telling you the truth. No. Cause I got to chase shit up. If you want me to make any.

[Fat Joe]

Verse I got from JD Cause I had to chase him.

[DJ Khaled]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Jadakiss]

Lying again, y'.

[DJ Khaled]

All. Listen, listen. And the man, not only did I.

[Fat Joe]

Give him a Rolex, he's lying.

[DJ Khaled]

The man not only delivered. I left the studio, went to the mastering studio, mastered the album, and the rest was history. You know, Jadakiss, you know, anytime I called him for a Khaled album, not only did he bless the album, he always, always, always, always, always, always got me. And I'm forever grateful for that, brother. Forever.

[Jadakiss]

You know what it is? Khaled pulled up to the block. Khaled, Pistol, the whole crew.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, they gonna pull up middle of.

[Jadakiss]

The street, hopped on dirt bikes that now little kids.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Jadakiss]

It's like the superhero. They. He made people's lives that when I see them to this day, they like, thank you for bringing DJ Khaled to the Block.

[DJ Khaled]

Nah, I love that. I had so much fun. I forgot we was. We was, you know, shooting a video like this was so much fun. And with Wahlberg, not even just that Jadakiss blessed me. Besides my albums. I reached out to Kiss one time to bless me for my Jordans commercial. Oh. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he blessed me with that. You know what I'm saying? You know what, Joe, man like being on this show. You know what I'm saying? Y' all two brothers. I can. I can. The whole show. I can just dedicate me praising y'. All. First of all, y' all, two hip hop kings, two hip hop legends. And not only do I love you, everybody love you.

[Fat Joe]

I really want to ask you a question that's on my mind, but I know you're not going to answer it. Don't even ask, because what. What's the biggest check you ever got in your life?

[Jadakiss]

Oh.

[DJ Khaled]

No.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, say, yeah. You got him singing like, yo, yo, yo, what's the biggest check?

[DJ Khaled]

You know what's so beautiful about that Question that none was ever given to me.

[Fat Joe]

I know that.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, no. I'm going to answer. Okay. None was ever given.

[Fat Joe]

Let me give you. Let me give you a reference. Let me give you a reference. One day, I did a deal. I made a million dollars. I ran over here to tell him so bad. I came, sat down like, you know, I made a deal for a million dollars. So I sat right here. He sat next to me, and I was like. When I was about to tell him, yo, Khaled. Khaled just said, yo, they just left.

[DJ Khaled]

I said, who?

[Fat Joe]

You said, toothpaste commercial. Five million in my. In my bathroom right here. I didn't even have to leave the house. I was like, oh, say can you see? This was the moment I've been waiting for to tell him, y', all, I just made a million or some shit. He said, man, just paid 5 million. Brushing my teeth. They just left. I sat back, I said, yo, at that point, I was. I'm terrified to tell you.

[Jadakiss]

I'm terrified.

[DJ Khaled]

Whatever.

[Fat Joe]

I'm.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm gonna be honest with you, man. Like, it's not about the number amount that we make. You know what I'm saying?

[Fat Joe]

What's the check? What's it? A check? What's the biggest check that you looked at? And you said, hallelujah.

[DJ Khaled]

We good. You know what the biggest thing that I love about being an overcomer? You know, let's just keep it real. We're overcomer. Super Jadakiss. You're overcomer, Joey Crack. You're overcomer, DJ Child. I'm an overcomer. If it was up to them, they would want us. Broke, miserable, unhappy. They would want us. Instead of being right here, they would want us to, you know, just. They don't want the best for us.

[Fat Joe]

No, no. How sad.

[DJ Khaled]

But you know what the best thing I ever did for my blessed people.

[Fat Joe]

Anger.

[DJ Khaled]

The best things I ever did for my blessings.

[Fat Joe]

How sad is it that our success. There's people out there that are really upset that we worked hard and God blessed us to be successful.

[DJ Khaled]

But, Joe, you.

[Fat Joe]

Does that ever bother you? Because it does bother me.

[DJ Khaled]

I tell you what, it doesn't bother me that I take care of my mother, father, my wife and my kids. And if my brothers that I love, that's with me forever, I'm right here. That don't bother me. And that's what it's about. You know what I'm saying? It's not about how much you make this a feeling that is undescribable. When I talk to my mother and my mother and I know that I'm taking care of my mother and father. They ain't gotta pay for nothing. When I see my kids go to Dream Mall. We live in Miami. Go to Dream Mall to play with ninja kids for the day and come back home the same day and make it to school. Man, what a blessing. You know how it feel when my son wake up and say, yo, I wanna. It's done. That's what it's about. So that number amount we talking about, it's no limits. When. God bless you because I'm not stopping. And when you in Miami, let's go shopping. I can't go shopping, Courtney. Seventh o' clock, when I go shopping.

[Fat Joe]

With him, I can't go shopping. Listen, I can't go shopping with another fat.

[DJ Khaled]

Your job would want me to be miserable.

[Fat Joe]

Every jacket. I went shopping with him, man. I like. I want to stop. I'm walking out with a scarf.

[DJ Khaled]

You can stop it.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, no, no, no. She can't stop it.

[Jadakiss]

Charlie, leave it.

[Fat Joe]

Yo, listen, Jada, one day, he says, yo, Joe, bring your money, right? We going shopping. I come a duffel bag of money. He come with one. We go over there, every store. We walk in, he grabbed the flyers. Jack, I need this, I need that. This. I'm looking, I'm walking out with a scarf, a handkerchief. I'm like, yo, Kelly, I cannot go shopping. You pulling everything out.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Joe Crack, they call not lying. They Call this Miami Dolphin. Y' all Kiss. You think yo kiss. That's one thing they take. They take my kindness for weakness. Cause you know I'm kind. And Kiss. You know I got love. But a lot of people take our kindness for weakness.

[Fat Joe]

You can listen.

[DJ Khaled]

I want you to take it for greatness. I want you to take it for motivation. I want you to take it for inspiration. I want you to take it so you know you could do it. I've heard Joe say it. I heard many of the greats say it. And I must say it every time I seen somebody win. Real hustlers respect real hustlers, and they show love to other hustlers, and they let them know it's possible. Remember I was the kid in the backseat of a Joe Crack Escalade, UConn Benz and Alexis Crack and an MPV. I think I named all your whips. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. So I just want you to know.

[Fat Joe]

You was there when I get underwear.

[DJ Khaled]

I was friends. So to see my brother, not only be a icon. Fat Joe and Big Pun.

[Fat Joe]

Tell me about your relationship.

[DJ Khaled]

I was there with Pun. Rose recorded Still Not a Player. I'll tell you a story. The man recorded Still Not a Player. Me and Joe Crack came to the studio, and Big Pun, Joe Crack was like, yo, we gotta go to the studio. I'm in New York visiting Joe. I was staying in Brownsville. God bless my man. Passed away. Bugsy. God bless him. And Joe's like, yo, I'm gonna pick you up. I'm like, I gave him the address. I'm in Brownsville. He's like, yo, what are you doing at Brownsville? So I end up meeting him in the city. And we go to the city to meet Big Pun. He come in the studio. Big Pun sitting on a chair like this in New York, in the studio at the lounge. And he got little nickel bags all over the table, and he rolling up a blunt. Joe Crack walk in the studio. You know Joe Crack, the dawn at that time? No, still the dawn. But I love his growth. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta. Always bigger man for his growth. Because at that time, it was like John Gotti. The man walk in the studio, gets blunt a big check. Gives him a check, a check, and then says, see, the Lexus outside is yours. Am I lying? Right, man, he recorded Still Not a Player, but didn't record the final version. Steve Rifkin and everybody from the label kept calling Joe and punting, like, yo, what's up? When we getting this record? When we Get a single.

[Jadakiss]

What's the original one or the remix?

[DJ Khaled]

The remix. Remix. Remix. I'm glad you said that. The remix. And Pun went in the booth and freestyle. Just talking mad craziness, like, you're the label. This and this and that and this and that. They're trying to this and that. The man did, like, a freestyle just to, like. At that time, people wanted to know if you was working and paying for studio time and all that, and who produced the record was. Damn, I forgot the name of the producer. But Big Em Up, I remember, you know, the record in Minnesota, but I just loved it. Cause I got to see Minnie did the original.

[Fat Joe]

Minnie did the original.

[DJ Khaled]

I gotta see Pun in his rare form. And I'll never forget. Cause that's one. One of the. What was the beat that Clue had that didn't come out? That was just so. It was a beat that Clue had that he gave you that day, y'. All. Pun heard it and he whipped it down.

And he be like, yo, you and Pun, you seen me and Pun.

[DJ Khaled]

You've seen that kiss? You part of that era. You seen the Joe and Pun era?

[Jadakiss]

Yeah.

[DJ Khaled]

And I just remember. Remember, I'm the kid in the backseat. You know? Joe loved me so much. He really had a hundred. You know, you always say a hundred guys with him. I know you want to throw the talent and all that. 25, okay, listen, if it ain't 100, it gotta be 75, 35.

[Fat Joe]

Super sniper.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm gonna be real with you. It was special, bro.

[Jadakiss]

Definitely.

[DJ Khaled]

Okay. I can tell you that. What I'm saying is, Joe and Pine, I'm so blessed in my career to see that, to witness the birth. I remember Joe telling me he played me the twins. He played me twins. We was in Alexis, in front of Fifth Avenue, in South beach, in front of Club Cream, and he played me twins, and he's like, yo, this for a mixtape.

[Jadakiss]

That in the middle I couldn't believe.

[DJ Khaled]

He told me it was. That's how focused I was back in them days. The mixtape was the hottest shit in the world. Yeah, that was the shit I was telling him. I can't believe you saying this is for a mixtape. I said, this the one. That's how focused I was. And by the way, mixtape was the one. But I'm just trying to show you how I was thinking how your brain was programmed. Joe not only blessed me to have a relationship with Pun, but Pun used to come to Miami. He came to Miami. He went to. God bless. God bless him.

[Fat Joe]

Man home would drive down to Miami.

[DJ Khaled]

He came to Miami in the van.

[Fat Joe]

To play him his music.

[Jadakiss]

Pun was on promo tour together, his first album and my first album. We did. We went all over the world together. We did King's Dominion together. We did Mad. We was on mad flights together.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss the man. Pun came down to Miami to play me the album. And I'm gonna tell you a story. He said, calum, meet me at Wet Willys. We go to Wet Willys, I jump in the van. You know, Wet Willys at that time was the shit. The man popped the doors open. There was a van. It's me and this Pun. And the man had a big TS chain like this big. The Biggie. Hold on. He plays me the battle with Jadakiss and Big Pun. No, no, no, no. On everything I love.

[Fat Joe]

He plays me in front of people.

[DJ Khaled]

That battle this with Jada and Pun, he plays me that whole album and I'm listening to that.

[Fat Joe]

Who thought of that? You and Pun acting like y' all was battling on a record.

[DJ Khaled]

No, he played me that. Oh, no.

[Jadakiss]

I don't know if him, Green Lantern.

[DJ Khaled]

Somebody, he played me that. No, I'm glad.

[Fat Joe]

On everything.

[DJ Khaled]

Not. Cause Drake on fbj, I love.

[Fat Joe]

For years, he kept telling me. Cause as far as I know, there is no more Big Pun music. Far as Joe Crack knows, there is no more Big Pun music. Like new verses, shit like that. And he kept telling me, yeah, there's a joint. Jada and fucking Pun. Pun played it for me. It never came out.

[DJ Khaled]

Jada, look, I'm telling you. See what? I just did it. On everything I love, he played it for me. Hold on. You know, I never forget. I drove from Miami. This is when I was doing the Luke show on 99 Jams. And every Friday, we would do a world premiere. I remember world premiering, like, everything that was hot before it was hot and I drove all the way from Miami to New York, and I went to Pun's house. He had his house. And he. I gotta keep it real with you. I don't know why y' all think Joe Cappit the man Pun had a hundred people around his house and, like, at least 50 people in it.

[Fat Joe]

He was going to jail for a thousand.

[DJ Khaled]

No, listen, I'm just.

[Fat Joe]

He ain't died.

[DJ Khaled]

I went there. Listen. I went in the house, and I'm trying to find the dad. Trying to find the dad. I had Pun freestyle over Biggie Victory from top to bottom. When he got done freestyling. With all due respect, God bless my brother. When the beat shut off, the man took a nice. I never seen nothing like it in my life. He just got done ripping it down. Legendary. And when the beat faded out, he took a nap. No, you gotta understand, I'm sitting in the living room like, no, he getting busy. So after you wake up and we chilling, we talking. First of all, I couldn't believe I was in Pun's house. I never forget it. My brother Nasty, he has the DAT because I give him all my dads back in them days. We trying to find it. I had him rhyme from the beginning of victory to end of victory. Imagine how that shit sounded. Big Pun, how could you lose? I'm not saying it's lost. I'm saying my brother Nasty being lazy because he got everything. That man right there. If there's a buffet, he's showing up. That's my brother.

[Fat Joe]

Now, Nasty, you know Nasty's a great guy. You know, when I met Khaled.

[DJ Khaled]

Jamie, you love this shit, right?

[Fat Joe]

I met Khaled.

[DJ Khaled]

What was it?

[Fat Joe]

[DJ Khaled]

[Fat Joe]

Clark Kent had a battle.

[DJ Khaled]

Clark Kent had a battle in Music Seminar. That's my man that won the freestyle battle in New Music Seminar. With a drag.

[Fat Joe]

Your man loved him.

[DJ Khaled]

Supernatural. Supernatural won the. Supernatural won the freestyle battle. Clark Kent had a DJ battle. I met Joey Crack in front of New Music Seminar. Outside, I had the Flo Jo album. Wow. Vinyl. Vinyl. You know, Joey Crack, at that time, even if he was happy, he had a grill like this. So you didn't understand if it was if he gonna hurt you or if he's just being like. So when I met him, he's like, yo, how you got that vinyl? Cause I wasn't out yet. And I was. I ain't gonna lie. I was scared shitless. I can't lie. I was like, yo, this is a promo. You know what I'm saying? I gotta connect. I didn't wanna reveal the Kinect, but since, you know, it's all love now, meaning as they, you know, hip hop.

[Fat Joe]

What was his name?

[DJ Khaled]

It was Rock and Soul. Oh, Rock and Soul gave it to me. It was. They always held. They always held certain promos for me when I come in town. Like, you know, I mean, I always kept. I always keep my relationships at a high key. So even I wasn't from New York. When I come to Rock and Soul, they always had my, my, my shit on the side. And it was a Joey Crack album. He's like, yo, how you got that? You know, I'm not trying to tell.

[Fat Joe]

On the TV this around the time we used to beat up the bootleggers and all.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah. So, you know, it was a sticky time, bootlegging and all that. And I was, you know, I was like, yo, I'm a fan. Boom, boom, boom. And we built a relationship from that day on. And I'll never forget, he came to Orlando with Pun and they had like a red bean. Matter of fact, this is a Pete, those pictures that you post up with the red BMW, the convertible. Yeah, that is. I met Joey Crack months before that and he came to Orlando and it was a show with Shaq and Nas.

[Fat Joe]

And they got pictures of that.

[DJ Khaled]

You know, when they talk about that thing, I always comment on the comments. I was there.

[Fat Joe]

Ain't that crazy? Now, now, now, shit come up and you gotta say, yo, I was there.

[DJ Khaled]

You gotta remember, I was the little kid. I was a kid. I was a baby. But I was embracing this greatness. I gotta see Bismarck, E, Joey Crack and Big Pun and all these great. Remember, I'm a little kid just in love with hip hop. I was DJing clubs and halls before I was able to drive. You know, I was passing out flyers at 12 years old to parties I wanted you to come out to. I'm not making this up.

[Fat Joe]

Bring that down to working on the album.

[DJ Khaled]

My catalog is several greatest hits. Not one greatest hits, several different parts of greatest hits. I could talk to you hours and hours about anthems that we all was a part of grew up on or a time marker in their in their life. Don't get it twisted. This DJ Khagwan. My confidence level not only is at a high level. It's facts. It's different when it's at a high level and it's facts. My humbleness. My humbleness. All glory to God. Allam of God. No God want me.

[Fat Joe]

What does allam of God mean?

[DJ Khaled]

Allam in Arabic means world. Alam Alam means world. World of God. This is world of God. The reason why I named my album Alama. God not only is my son named alarm of God. You know, I thought about it coming off of God did. I said, man, you know what? I had to remind people not only they believe in us, that God did. And I felt like when I said that, it resonated with the world and they overstood what I was saying. That's why that song had was so impactful and the album was impactful. Five nominations on a Grammys. We ain't win one, but we won in real life. And God willing, we will win one.

[Fat Joe]

Top five moments. You know, I was there when we was in Noble and we heard a little beat, you recorded it, and the next thing I knew, two days later, you had Beyonce singing that shit.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, right.

[Fat Joe]

Top five moments that blew your mind. That you baby, it was Yeezy coming in here. What's your top five moments that blew your mind? And you was like, is this happening?

[Jadakiss]

What are you talking about? Right there. Well, recorded something.

[DJ Khaled]

Well, it was actually Zuma, a shot de Noble. Cause Nobles. I love Noble. I got the Noble Sushi sneakers.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, but it was Zuma.

[DJ Khaled]

It was Zuma. And I heard this record playing was in the private room, and I was like, this shit crazy. So I shazammed it.

[Fat Joe]

I'm there with you.

[DJ Khaled]

I shazammed it. And the next day I went home, looped it up, got with the team, and we made Shining, Shining, Shining. I presented to Jay Z and Beyonce and I'll never forget because I went to see Jay Z and I brought my own speaker to him. And I was like, I need to have a meeting with you. And one thing I love about Jigga, if he love you, the man is accessible. Meaning as in, like, as big as he is. 9 out of 10, if you got love and respect, you can have a meeting with him. So I had a meeting with him and I remember I was like, yo, I played him a bunch of beats and I was like, yo, I need you on my album. And I played him shine and instrumental. I'M like, yo, I need you on this. And he was like this, look. I remember turning it down. I was like, yo, but I need you, and I need the queen on this. He looked at me like I was crazy. Now I'm being honest. You want me to lie to you? I could lie to you.

[Jadakiss]

No, I know.

[DJ Khaled]

So I was like, yo, I need the queen on this, too. So when I'm leaving, he's like, yo, leave me the. It's too many great stories with ho. But that particular story, he's like, leave me with that joint. He didn't say he gonna get the queen on it. He didn't say nothing. That same day, I had to now do something for espn. I think it was at the Barclays. And it was like. I did something like, you know what I'm saying? On stage. It was on tv, whatever that situation was at that time. And he was there, and he had a. I think he was honoring LeBron or something. So we bump into each other again, and when I see him, he's like, yo, you know, I played that for the queen. You know me. I'm trying to keep it cool. I'm trying to keep it cool. So I'm like, it's love. You know, I'm just keeping it cool. So I believe him. I get to the car, I'm telling all my team, like, yo, little Jigga to say he played it for Beyonce. So later on, hours after that, the man Jigga sent me a picture of him in the jet. Like the sunrise through the jet window. You know, me and B, listening to this joint. I'm looking at my text, I just look. You know that shit, when you look at your phone, you try to see somebody around. Like, you like, look. You like this look. So, boom, few days later, there's a Roc Nation brunch in la. I think it might have been, like, the first one, if not the first or second one. So I walk in the brunch, you know, he just sent me that picnic a few days later. Me, you know, I can't. I ain't. I ain't gotta do the consistency, you know, Because I'm like, yo, let me not this up. Let me breathe. Let her breathe. So I'm walking in the brunch. Soon as I see Hov, he's like, yo, come to the crib after the Roc Nation brunch. I want you to hear something. And he told me, keep your head high through this whole brunch. Walk around here with your head high. Want me to lie to you? That's what the man told me. He said, walk around this brunch with your head on. Oof. I'm in a black leather walking around that motherfucker. So relaxed, so at ease. Soon as the brunch is over, I'm at his crib and he play me shining. And God is great. And I started that record off, and I said, I've been working my whole life for this. That's how I started the record off. Go to Apple Music Spotify right now and listen to it. That's just one story. Don't forget, I got them all. God did. I got.

[Fat Joe]

I got the keys. Keys, keys. God did.

[DJ Khaled]

No more.

[Fat Joe]

God did him.

[DJ Khaled]

And I Sorry, not sorry.

[Fat Joe]

God did. Where. He went crazy on the. God did.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, it's crazy because when I wanted to see Kiss on Yonkers, you know, God did just. The album just dropped that week. And I filmed the video with him that week that, you know. Cause I went to New York for the promo. So I wanted to film the video with that week. Like, the album was like two days old, right? And Kiss was on the block with his whole crew. And we had God that Pete was there. We had goddamn playing. And Kiss was reciting his bars. The whole verse, word for word. The whole block was, I've been on camera. Pull it up. Somebody. Jamie, send him. Somebody go to my Instagram and find it and try. It just came out like the God. This story I wanted to play in my whole album. And I played him Drake no Secret. That's how my album starts on God Did. So I play him no Secret. And then it goes into God Did. So when he heard no Secret, he was vibing. You know when the head start doing this. And then boom. God did came in. And then when that came in, you know, I hit him with a talk. You know that talk. You can't. Yo, Joe, Jada Am I did. I hit him with a talk. They don't believe in it. It breaks my heart. They don't believe in us. You could be over there hating and being a boy. You could be over here in Miami grabbing a mango off the holy ground tree. Been said, you want to be a boy? You could be over here embracing love more love, more life, more blessings. So remember he hearing that and a rose. They come in. He like this. Then the hook come in. We like. That's when the Ace of Spades started doing this type of. The man started doing. I'm not making this up. I have this on film. I have this on pictures. I have it he started doing this. I haven't got a whole lot of story. Then Little Wayne come in. You lied. By the time he already like this, look. Then I left the open verse.

[Fat Joe]

Might as well pop that bottle.

[DJ Khaled]

And I said, this, look, look. I kept doing this to him, look. By pointing him like, that's you. You got. That's where you come in. So he like this. I see him freestyling in his head. He loving it. But I continue. I didn't. I don't stop the music. I continue playing in the album. He's like, pull that God be back again. I was, like, looking at Jamie and everybody. I was. I'm in there, like, look at the pictures. Go back to the Instagram. I'm in there like this. Now look myself, myself. When he said, bring it back. Now he is there. The man. The man starts flowing. The first four bars of the verse. Then he tells Lenny S. Come here. Whispering in Lenny S's ears. The problem is I'm right here. So when you got his hand right here, I see what he's saying. He says, tell Guru set up studio something. It's gonna get done that night when I leave, he's like, you'll send me this song. This song, this song. He told me to send, like, five songs. So now I'm confused. I sent him five songs, but I'm happy. Did you know you're gonna get something going, something happening? Few days later, he's like, yo, Cal, Lenny, book studio, blah, blah, blah. No, I replied so fast. Bendun the whole time, I'm like, please, God, tell me the studio's available. Because he picked a certain studio. I put Ben done.

[Fat Joe]

It was this New York studio.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, it's New York. It's New York, right? Hours later. No, no, no, no. Let me keep it more honest. The man texted, say your book studio. Yo, Calan, book studio for this time. But I only have an hour because I gotta catch the helicopter to the Hamptons. No problem. And he's like on the group text, tell Lenny. Tell Guru. Make sure he's there. I hit Lenny Asad. Whatever Guru needs, we have to pick him up, bring him there. Woman you lie to you ask Lenny. Hours. It was like Hours in that day. He FaceTimes me. And he got the. The FaceTime to the speaker, and I hear the verse. The problem is, after it went 12 bars, I heard 16, then 24, then 24. The problem is, I thought the throne was soon because it kept going. So I'm confused. I'm not crazy. Like, 100 bar verse. So I'm like losing my mind, like on the FaceTime. But I'm also like, yo, tell Guru to send it so I can do my thing to it. So Guru texts me, sends me the files immediately. And immediately I'm in the studio with my engineer, Juan, and I'm blending it. And I'm like making the vocals in certain beat drops. I'm going crazy. I'm changing the beat. Now I got drops. I'm leveling out the vocals, certain echoes. Got to breathe here. I'm in my mode. I sent it back to him right away. God didn't. That was a goddamn moment. And I never forget. Because right after that, I think. I think like two, three days I did the Drink Champs interview. And I was just hit a all time high with so much confidence before my album came out. Cause I knew I had a whole verse. But now that I got whole verse, like something that I've been screaming out to the world saying they ain't believing as God did. And I got HOV on a record called God Did. And he starts off his verse and says, hov did. HOV did you understand what I'm trying to say? Kiss and crack. So you gotta remember, y' all used to this type of shit. Nah, we ain't used no crack. You gotta understand, I'm a fan of this shit.

[Fat Joe]

I want you to Grammys with you with the bubble gum on you.

[DJ Khaled]

So speaking of the Grammys.

[Fat Joe]

No, my suit was legit.

[DJ Khaled]

Speaking of the Grammys.

[Fat Joe]

Yo, listen, guys, y' all gotta give it up already. When it comes to the fashion, you have been annihilated and destroyed on this show here. This is Cuban Kiss. He has the Guaya Vera Louis Vuitton. And this is the brown. Chocolate brown. Check with the fucking leather. That's a different kind of leather. That's that.

[Jadakiss]

That's a different leather, right?

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, I got those.

[Jadakiss]

But I mean, I love it. You can't come with no Holy Ghost.

[Fat Joe]

Hey, yo.

[DJ Khaled]

Hey, yo, Caliban.

[Jadakiss]

Holy crap.

[Fat Joe]

Don't stay shitting on these people over here, man. These guys are dizzy. We got them. Flabby is sick. They got to reinvent their whole podcast, whatever. Because our shit, we just are storytelling. And, man, we paint the pictures so clear. And I see them, they starting to adjust. Look, even you adjust, so you get dated, right? So there was the round phone. Then they made a cell phone. Then they made FaceTime. They had the big TV.

[DJ Khaled]

Then they made the flat screen with.

[Fat Joe]

The fat ass on it.

[DJ Khaled]

I know, but.

[Fat Joe]

And now there's a new podcast because the Joe and Jada. I'm almost over the rookie of the year.

[DJ Khaled]

No, but Joe, I'm almost ready to say. Joe, I'm gonna be Episodes.

[Jadakiss]

We still ready?

[DJ Khaled]

No, I wanna be real with you.

[Fat Joe]

I'm telling you, we better than everybody.

[DJ Khaled]

I know, but I wanna be real with you. Cause I want you to.

[Fat Joe]

I don't give a fuck.

[DJ Khaled]

Crack. Crack. Kiss. As much as they don't want us.

[Fat Joe]

To win, that's a fact.

[DJ Khaled]

As much as they don't want us to win, we can't.

[Jadakiss]

We gotta be.

[DJ Khaled]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Jadakiss]

Let's be humble.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah. No, as much as they don't want us to win.

[Jadakiss]

Pop our. But we gotta be.

[DJ Khaled]

I want to remind both of all three of us and everybody that's watching, as much as they don't want us to win, there's actually more that want us to win. You know, unfortunately, we get inspired by they don't want us to win. So that's why you hear Crack passionately saying, we the number one. And I'm telling you the number one. Because again, we humble, but we confident. And if you speaking authentic as Joe and Jada, you can't question that.

[Fat Joe]

Preserving the culture, you can't.

[DJ Khaled]

This is the culture, but this is the culture.

[Jadakiss]

Don't let that go over your head.

[DJ Khaled]

Don't let it go over your head. For real.

[Fat Joe]

This is the.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, this is the culture, but this.

[Fat Joe]

Is for the culture, man.

[DJ Khaled]

What I'm saying is. But I want to remind us, because sometimes I have to remind myself there's more love than this hate. Hate is just loud and annoying. But real hustlers, true hustlers, always big each other up. You know that when you see another real hustler, a real. Don't you never. You. You.

[Fat Joe]

You taught me something that I never thought about it. You get. Gave me a point in the map of the world.

[DJ Khaled]

The world's so big. The world's so big. And when they hate, believe it or not, it's this much out of the whole world. And I realized that in life, throughout my career, I was like, yo, hate is small. The hate is loud. You know what I'm saying? And the love is massive. And what I learned throughout my career, you know, when it comes down to, hey, me personally, I only can speak for Catholic, I don't deal with it. I'm too busy raising my kids, feeding my family, doing shit and working.

[Fat Joe]

And I know people make up cliches.

[DJ Khaled]

My dreams, the goals and bringing it to life. I'm busy. No, on everything I love. I'm busy. When I wake up in the morning, I'm busy. I pray all day and I work. And I'm gonna outwork everyone that's me. I can't speak for everybody else, but when it comes down to love and hate, you're going to have love. Without love, there's going to be hate. And without hate, there's going to be love. You know, it's a life. In life, it's like. It's like balance. It's like you do you choose good or you choose evil? Me, personally, I choose love and good. What do you wrong?

[Fat Joe]

What are you doing? What do you do?

[DJ Khaled]

I'm just not. I'm just not soft. I'm not going to blink. I'm not going to flinch. Yes, I have some brothers of mine that love me. And they the realest. You know, Joey Grat and I could speak a hundred other names, but just in my bloodline, you know, I'm saying, I'm always going to be righteous, but I'm not soft. Because some people take righteousness for salt. I don't know why. And when they. When they test me with the softness, I hit them with the righteousness. Yo, listen.

[Fat Joe]

I look at pictures of us, right? Because you got a bunch in this house. We got a bunch in my house. And I'm not confused. I know who I am. And so the people could say cap all they want. They ain't no. They never heard of Fat Joe getting played in their life. They never heard of one of their favorite rappers playing Fat Joe or playing with Fat Joe in their life. But when I look at these pictures, I always. There's times I ask God, I said, because this man is who he is. He's truly righteous. He's really about his family. He's about his community. He's about love and peace. I hear this shit with no.

[DJ Khaled]

But I've been like that from day one, though.

[Fat Joe]

I know that, Kelly.

[DJ Khaled]

Hold on, Joe, you know that. But I wanna let Jadakiss transfer. I know you speaking to them. Because me, everybody know me. And you brothers, we blood. Listen, Crack, I love you. I thank you. Thank you for believing me. Thank you for me telling you. You gave me my first record deal. Thank you. Hold on, Joe.

[Fat Joe]

If I need a loan, it's too much.

[DJ Khaled]

You've done for me.

[Fat Joe]

Answer the question. If I need a loan, can I come to you one day?

[DJ Khaled]

Shit real out here, you know, it's a recession, but I got you. It's a recession in my L. Yo, that's the rich. No, rich. It's a reception. You know that. No, no. Somebody asked me the other day for a little bag because I sent him half the bag because it's a reception. No, but I'm there.

[Brown Ambition Host]

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates. I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these stories streets I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact it may get even worse. For more judgment Free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

[DJ Khaled]

Joe, you're my richest friend.

[Fat Joe]

Damn, Callie, you don't answer the question.

[DJ Khaled]

Of course, but Joe. Ma Beef.

[Fat Joe]

I know how to.

[DJ Khaled]

Joe, let me ask you a question.

[Fat Joe]

Let me ask you a question. Hold up. So I look at the picture and I look at. I know who I am. And I'm a reformed gangster. And I'm a God lover, a God fearer.

[DJ Khaled]

Can I say senna sorry? Because he said all that, you know. I know Joey Crack. I know Joey Crack. I know Don Cartagena. I know the stories that some of y' all think is catching. You know what I'm saying? What I'm saying is. But through all that, he is the nicest. Okay, how can I say this? If he's your friend. If that's the key word, if he's your friend. When he's your friend, he's all in, you know.

[Fat Joe]

Break that down. Break that down.

[DJ Khaled]

I can tell you what does that I'm going to tell you, but I can strangers that I don't know that his friend will tell you that when I say all in. Through the good, through the trials and tribulations, through anything, he shows up. No, no, no, no, no Kiss when I say show up. Not an inspiration motivation. Yo, I love you. I got you. I'm praying for you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Show up. Kiss. Look at me. Show up.

[Jadakiss]

Show up. Show up.

[Fat Joe]

No. Show up against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

He's a beautiful man.

[Fat Joe]

Against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

He's a beautiful young Kelly. Beautiful man.

[Fat Joe]

Young against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

What I'm trying to tell you is.

[Fat Joe]

That it could be guys, not just me. Scariest things you ever seen anybody be.

[DJ Khaled]

Like people I don't know.

[Fat Joe]

It's what we doing here?

[DJ Khaled]

But I see a side say I see Joe. Friends with somebody that a sneaker head, a jeweler, a rapper, a family man, if he's your friend. You don't know the definition of a friend till you meet Joey crap. And I'm not saying this because I'm on the Joey and Joey and Jada show. I cannot just say that because of that. You know what I'm saying? Because he said something earlier. It's rare to see true brotherhood.

[Fat Joe]

You.

[DJ Khaled]

Know what I'm saying? Me, I'm always salute the brotherhood.

[Jadakiss]

What's the song with Meek Mill and me and Scarface and John Legend and Akon and. Yeah, you know that.

[DJ Khaled]

So that's all you gained if you.

[Jadakiss]

Gained the jails with that.

[DJ Khaled]

So that record, car, Never Surrender.

[Jadakiss]

Never Surrender.

[DJ Khaled]

Jadakiss, Meek Mill, Akon, Anthony Hamilton, somebody else. Scarface. Hey, bless up. Scarface, John Legend, all these people on one record. I never forget making that because I was on my Quincy Jones shit and I was just cutting everybody's vocals. And later on I would just put it together. But that particular record, I had grown men come up to me. Grown men come up with that. Some of the realest guys, like a Joey Crack, come up to me and say, yo, your brother Calvin, you know, I cried tears when I heard that record. I cried tears when I heard that record. When I play that now and I throw it for a throwback. And I think about making that collab and calling Kiss and getting Anthony Hamilton to film this party and in Africa and John Legend to film his part in New York. And you film your part in Yonkers and, you know, in Harlem and. Yeah, in Harlem. I was there in Harlem with the black Maybach at that time. I think BMF was starting to ring off, right? All this and me and Meek and Ross in Atlanta. Was in Atlanta with a hundred behind us with Akon singing the hook. But that particular rap and Scarface doing his hook, his verse of Houston. Even Face Mob told me, yo, that verse, he said, like, put tears in his eyes saying that verse. You know what I'm saying? Like. Cause you know, you know how you say some people think shit is cap and some shit, you know, some shit is no cap.

[Fat Joe]

Play with me if you think.

[DJ Khaled]

You know what I'm saying like that. Mute. First of all, the music, the soul food, the. The feeling and the lyrics. But, you know, that song basically is saying, love all, but trust few. You know what I'm saying? You know, when I was making A Lamb of God, the original name for a Lamb of God was two names before it became a Lama God. And I'd be careful with my titles because I live my titles. So I had to be careful. At first. It was called Love All, Trust Few. And I was starting to make the album, and I was in a dark place. So all the records started sounding dark. So I snapped out quick. I'm like, yo, yo, yo. I only won two or three of those joints. Light Dark. So I changed the title quick, and I called it All Glory Night Dark.

[Fat Joe]

The world's dark right now.

[DJ Khaled]

So I ended up calling it All Glory to God. And then my wife was like, yo, you made an album called Father Facade. You know, you gotta rep a llama like you, right? And I had that album called Glory to God. And I was like, you know what it's gonna be called?

[Fat Joe]

Alarm of God Special Kid Alarm man.

[DJ Khaled]

So you understand, you know what I'm saying? If you think about, you know, if anybody want to take time and look at the titles from the beginning of my albums to where I'm at now, you look at my life at that time, you know, I lived that title.

[Fat Joe]

Let me ask you a question, right? Simple. Because somebody, you know, we brought up top five DJs, and I'm sorry, because my brother is so wealthy, you know, I could hire a dj.

[DJ Khaled]

Did I throw this now or no.

[Fat Joe]

You could throw it down. Charlie throwing the flag. I don't know.

[DJ Khaled]

When he starts saying sorry and, like, that's throwing the flag. Now should I throw it in that look? What else should I throw? Because your kids, that's what you've been doing.

[Fat Joe]

I'mma say something. We usually don't do talk behind the scenes, but Khaled tore my ear off. Because when I said top five DJs, he was like, yo, I'm a DJ, a real DJ to rip. And nobody knows more than me how much Khaled rips down the show. But he's so rich, right? So I'm like a dj. I can hire. I can't hire Khaled. And so. But I caught backlash from other DJs. They were like, no, Khaled is a real DJ. You need to include him. Who's your top five DJs of all time, man? No politics. Who do you enjoy?

[DJ Khaled]

I would say Kid Capri, Funkmaster Flex, Clark Kent. Wow. And the reason why I say, first of all, those three are the one. Some of the greatest DJs. But I have a personal, personal stories with all three of them. You know what I'm saying? Cause I looked up to them as an idol. You know what I'M saying, so definitely. Kid Capri, Fun Flex Car, Clint. I have amazing stories with all of them. And then I would have to say premiere. And I would have to say it's crazy because, like, I want to throw, like, a certain mixtape DJ out there. It was so many at that time that I love. So it was like sns, Clue, and it was like Ron G Duop. And it was like. But I just remember, like, SNS premiering Onyx. This is the way we walk a new dog. You remember that Onyx song? I remember him premiering that.

[Fat Joe]

Onyx changed my life.

[DJ Khaled]

No, I told him that particular song. If you go back to that tape, the way he premiered that and his voice. So, like, SNS started turning into, like, the street, you know, that's when this. When Jigga and Pac and Biggie started coming. So the music and DJ started changing and you started seeing the street come out of it. You know, you had your boom bap and you had your Before I let go. And then you then top billing and the Arab beef for president. But then when SNS came, he started coming with, like, this is the way we walk in New York, you know, like, you know, this shit started getting gangster. You know, am I. Am I lying? Yes.

[Fat Joe]

I exchanged my whole career.

[DJ Khaled]

So that last one is so many I don't have. I can't particularly name it. There's so many because even like the Double R mixtape with the blends. Remember that G, bro? The pro. The pro Double R. Remember that fool's brothers, Ted Smooth.

[Fat Joe]

Remember all those. Them had something going that G bow to, bro. Double law. That was crazy recipes, my brother, my brother.

[DJ Khaled]

But then you had, like a jail Master J that was so legendary. Then you had a DJ scratch. So the fifth one is always up on me because you had a scratch that was cutting Hoo Ha, Public Enemy on EPMD Records. You know, you know, shit that I'm like, what the fuck, right? You know, it's so many. Then you had Terminator X on Rebel as a pause, you know, seeing that it's so much shit. So that fifth one is tough for me because it's just like, you know, I really love it. But, you know, Joe, I noticed you tell a lot of stories, but you don't tell them some of them. DJ Khaled. Stories of Khaled coming up in the club and demolishing the fucking place.

[Fat Joe]

Listen, I know that I used to fight BMF in Miami trying to get in your club. Like, we used to be online trying to bum rush because there Was this club out here. What was the club at?

[DJ Khaled]

Me.

[Fat Joe]

What was the club that was outdoor.

[DJ Khaled]

Then you had the room and we had club craze. That got crazy too.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, I know, but you had. You had a room in there. Yeah, that was area.

[DJ Khaled]

The whole room. When I play Young Jeezy, I'm the. I'm one of the first to play Young Jeezy. That's Cheesy. I never forget the whole BMX locked the whole club down. And Young Jeezy before he was Young Jeezy. And Fab was in the club with him too. And Meech and everybody in the club, the whole place. I'll never forget because my room was like, you got to pay a lot of money to get in that room. And I remember.

[Fat Joe]

Let's explain that it was a big club and Callie had a room. Everybody knew at 2 in the morning, go to college room. He's going to start DJing at that point. Remember Wolf, Rest in peace, everybody, you know, from everywhere in America and was trying to get in that room. And it was BMF at the prime. I never forget you playing Hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling for ways. Banging on that wall.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss. What'd you say?

[Fat Joe]

Banging hours.

[DJ Khaled]

I played Hustling hours on the radio and hustling hours in the club for hours. One record that Rick Ross.

[Fat Joe]

Hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling.

[DJ Khaled]

I never forget. But I remember Gigi and the whole BMF being at Club Prebate and they hand me a vinyl, a white label, and it was Jeezy. I don't know who Jeezy was at that time, but I think Fab was there and it was like, meech, whoever. These are my peoples. They always showed me love and they supported all my parties. And they're like, yo, I want you to play this vinyl. You know, this one vinyl still around without a question. These people always show me love. They come to all my parties. I'm not even. I don't even listen to it. I went, threw it on. When I tell you the whole place exploded off one play off of one. The first 10 seconds of the record, the place exploded. Equated. Cheesy, right? Exploded. And then Cheesy came to the DJ booth showing me love. And he grabbed the mic and he jumped on top of the bar, the bar and started performing that shit. And Fab started performing. And, you know, ever since that day, me and Jeezy had a relationship. But it's just, you know, back in Them days, you know, we ain't had the Instagram and Twitter and all that shit. So it was about you going city to city, but it was also about building your relationship. Building a relationship, but making these moments that people would never forget. You know what I'm saying?

[Jadakiss]

That's what hip hop is about, though.

[DJ Khaled]

Y' all remember being at Club Puerto Rican Parade? Puerto Rican Parade in New York City. Joe took me there. I don't know what club it was, but the VIP was glass. They had like a glass, all glass. And we all. Big Pun and my deepest performer, Prodigy, whipping it down. Kiss. Like, I'm talking about people hanging off the speaker. And then Joe and Pun come out of nowhere and perform Twins. And I'm the middle kid right there by the speaker that is watching this shit. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? I'm watching Prodigy. Prodigy Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Joey Crack Pun pulling up in the. What was that? Benz? What was it, 500?

[Fat Joe]

500.

[DJ Khaled]

That's a fact.

[DJ Khaled]

She never made it inside. And that text message would be the last time anyone would ever hear from her.
