Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power of Unity and Collaboration in Hip Hop

[07:27–10:24]

• DJ Khaled describes his behind-the-scenes role as a unifier in the face of rap beefs (Fat Joe vs. 50 Cent, Ross vs. Jeezy, Beanie Sigel vs. Jadakiss), emphasizing reconciliation over division:

  “I’m the one out the crew that always says, ‘Yo, we don’t need that. We need to come together. We need love. We need positivity…’ At the end of the day, it’s I love my brothers, and my brothers know that.” – DJ Khaled [09:46]

• Khaled credits miscommunication and lack of dialogue as the root causes of most beefs:

  “A lot of this shit is a misunderstanding and a lot of not communication, okay? That’s what it be about…” – DJ Khaled [09:46]

• On the Kendrick–Drake fallout: Khaled, while not intervening directly, underscored the value of staying out of negativity and always choosing love.

2. Staying Grounded Amidst Success & Wealth

[13:33–15:37]

• Khaled grounds his reality in faith and family, despite worldwide fame:

  “God is reality. That’s the problem… Keeping it real? Keep it God. Keep it God.” – DJ Khaled [13:47] “My job is to protect my kids and my wife. That’s my job, and that’s my life.” – DJ Khaled [14:15]

• Shout-out to his chef (Chef Melissa) and his tendency to surround himself with the best, not just hit-makers but people who feed and nurture the team.

4. Industry Advice: The Hustle Never Stops

[17:23–18:53]

• Khaled urges artists to return to the basics – personal connection with fans, hard work, and self-promotion:

  “The game changed. The world moving so fast that they see illusion that starts a collision... It’s back to the basics… The fans gotta see you sweat. They gotta see you put in that groundwork.” – DJ Khaled [17:43]

• Examples: from passing out flyers to Cardi B’s street-level promotions.

5. The Value of Authentic Brotherhood in Hip Hop

[19:44–22:17]

• The rarity of true brotherhood and realness in the industry is celebrated:

  “Ain’t nothing like brotherhood and keeping it real. Ain’t nothing like it. Cause it’s fucking rare.” – DJ Khaled [19:44] “It’s a miracle that you guys keep it real with each other. Why has that been erased?” – Joe Budden [21:11]

[32:52–37:56 & 46:12–55:25]

• DJ Khaled recounts milestones from his career trajectory: relentless networking, chasing features from legends, and A&Ring classic records.

  “I was climbing over mansion gates just to get guys on records…” – Joe Budden [34:19] “One of the most consistent, relentless… knock down your doorknob Khaled when he needs his verse.” – Jadakiss [34:34]

• Stories of making records like “Brown Paper Bag,” building the Maybach Music series with Ross and Jadakiss, and how clubhouse moments turn into anthems.

7. The Business of Success & What Truly Matters

[38:08–41:32]

• Humorous exchange over who’s got the “biggest check,” but Khaled refocuses on gratitude:

  “None was ever given to me… It’s not about the number amount we make… When I talk to my mother… and I know that I’m taking care of my mother or father, they ain’t got to pay for nothing… That’s what it’s about.” – DJ Khaled [38:14, 40:15]

8. Top Miami Anthems & DJ Top Fives

[59:32–61:08, 91:25–95:32]

• Miami Anthem Mount Rushmore: Trick Daddy, Uncle Luke, Remy Ma, Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’,” and DJ Khaled’s own records.
• Top 5 DJs of All Time: Kid Capri, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Clark Kent, DJ Premier, and a tie between various legendary mixtape DJs (SNS, Clue, etc.).

  “I just remember, SNS premiering Onyx — ‘Slam, slam, slam’… that particular song, if you go back to that tape, the way he premiered that and his voice…” – DJ Khaled [93:44]

10. Preserving and Representing the Culture

[76:06–78:19]

• The trio closes with a passionate argument for authenticity, humility, and cultural preservation:

  “As much as they don’t want us to win, there’s actually more that want us to win… If you speaking authentic as Joe and Jada, you can’t question that.” – DJ Khaled [75:26] "This is the culture, but this is for the culture." – DJ Khaled [76:19]

• Khaled emphasizes the insignificance of hate compared to love:

  “The hate is loud… but the love is massive.” – DJ Khaled [76:50]

Can we be honest? It's probably my top 3 show I ever been to in my life. And I'm gonna be even. I even wanna be even more honest. It's really my favorite show. But I'm gonna say top three because, you know, I just experienced it. And I don't wanna neglect the other two great ones that I been in. The man coming out like Frank Sinatra. Then he got like, narration. Then he got like, Broadway film in there. Then the man going to a turn up. That's unbelievable. Then he go into some live instruments. That's like, from God. Hold on. The sound system might be the best sound system I ever heard in my life. It sound better than the records. So everything in Spanish I just said in Spanish.

[Joe Budden]

Every island in the universe.

[DJ Khaled]

I love to go to the Caribbean. That's what I do. But, you know, when it come to Boricua, Puerto Rico, you know, Joey Crack, not just my brother, that's like my blood. You seen the post I posted up the other day? Don't get it twisted.

[Joe Budden]

I love you to the highest, too. But I want to get to ask you. Can I ask you a question?

[DJ Khaled]

Maybe one or two.

[Joe Budden]

You've been in many rap beefs. You was in fat joe, 50 cent beef.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes, Jada.

[Joe Budden]

Beanie. You put them together.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm the first one to put Jada and 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.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

I survived the Fat Joe 50 cent beef.

[Joe Budden]

That's a big beef.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, Ross, 50 cent, 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.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

I love Drake.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

I love Future.

[Joe Budden]

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, how do.

[Joe Budden]

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 DJ Khaled. Joe, you know that. Joe, you know, take your glasses off, let them see. You know that.

[Joe Budden]

I super know that.

[DJ Khaled]

Okay? So what I'm saying. 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 comes 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.

[Joe Budden]

So you couldn't squash this one.

[DJ Khaled]

I would love to squash it.

[Joe Budden]

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 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 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, Jay. To 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.

[Joe Budden]

No, I know that. But living on the top floor, when they win the top floor, what you.

[DJ Khaled]

Think I'm hot for? Every summer drop more just to make my stocks go up. The bands go. See? Don't fucking play me.

[DJ Khaled]

It's the number one show. I've been waiting for this show. I've been waiting not just to get on it, Pete. I've been waiting for this show. Meaning as in, before it existed. Y' all not getting what I'm saying. Like Justin Bieber said, this ain't clocking to you. You think I'm just picking you up? Cause we got cameras here? I'm bigging you up because I love y'. All. Y' all deserve it. And this the fucking number one show. And I'm not taking that away from nobody. No, what I'm saying is, when I see that shit pop on the gram, I get excited. When you talk about what's the best albums and what's the best collabs and what was the best features, how many Jada features they had. And then Jada, you know, throwing a towel and Joe telling amazing stories, thinking they cap. I'm like, they think that's cap? Nah, I think they starting to understand.

[Joe Budden]

Because, you know, you took a flag.

[DJ Khaled]

On the last one.

[Joe Budden]

I'm like saying to myself, like, when I said I wanted to sign Joey Badass when he Was, you see, Ladies and gentlemen.

[Jadakiss]

[Joe Budden]

And then the video came out.

[Jadakiss]

Ladies and gentlemen, apologize.

[DJ Khaled]

Thank you.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

Understand that.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, no, no, no. Overstand.

[Joe Budden]

That I overst.

[DJ Khaled]

That's the reality.

[Joe Budden]

Let me tell you. Oh, no, no, no, no.

[DJ Khaled]

I know that, but let me just tell you, because you just said something before that. You said family.

[Joe Budden]

That's right.

[DJ Khaled]

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?

[Joe Budden]

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 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 Asad. You're fearless now. Yo, Joe. This the Joe and Jada. I've been waiting for this.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

I definitely want to eat that.

[DJ Khaled]

That's that lobster with the caviar.

[Joe Budden]

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, look, Brandon, we the best coconuts. Go to we the best dot com. And get yourself a coconut. What you think? It's a game. Y' all tripping? Y' all out here thinking shit is cool. The game changed. You know, it's back to the basics. It's back to passing out flyers.

[Joe Budden]

[DJ Khaled]

And whoever neglects, whoever neglected radio played themselves because it's back to radio. Y' all out here thinking is cool. It's not. It's back to the hustle. It's who outworked everybody. But you gotta work smart. I was just telling my team today, I was like, yo, the game changed. The world moving so fast that they see illusion that starts a collision. It's moving so fast. I'm telling them, yo, when it moved that fast, it's back to the basics. I don't care how big you are, Jada Joe, I don't give a fuck how big you are. You gotta work. 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.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, listen.

[DJ Khaled]

You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

I don't know if you saw Cardi B. I said to hit the Streets, and she went on 1 25th and threw the CDs on the map with the inside.

Number one non controversial.

[DJ Khaled]

You know what?

[Joe Budden]

I diss each other.

[DJ Khaled]

Jada, hold on, hold on. Joe, I'm sorry. I got Karen on here on my talk Forever. Listen, Jada, listen. When you came on the show and said. When Jada came on the show, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know word for word, but this is how I know the show was super different and real. You said, ain't nobody talking about Styles Pete. Oh, yeah. No. When you laid the law down before the show started. Ask Joe. I told him that. I said, I love it. Because ain't nothing like brotherhood and keeping it real. Ain't nothing like it. Ain't nothing like it. Cause it's fucking rare. Ain't nothing like it.

[Joe Budden]

Why is it rare?

[DJ Khaled]

Ain't nothing like it.

[Joe Budden]

True brotherhood in this business. And show you love this shit you don't have.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Pistol, you see this, right?

[Jadakiss]

This show crack you never seen?

[DJ Khaled]

No, I can't take it. Not a man so professional with it. That was unbelievable.

[Joe Budden]

Because.

[DJ Khaled]

Go ahead. I'm sorry, Joe.

[Joe Budden]

Because nowadays there's so much fuckery going on. Yes, it is 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]

In this world, you know, it's Joe and Jada. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. This no joke thing. It's Jada kissing Fat Joe, Joey Crack. All right. Don't get it. Listen, guys, guys, wake up. You know. You know when I say authentic and, you know, everybody want to keep it real. And everybody know the. The real this and that. This. Jada kissing Joey Crack.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[DJ Khaled]

I try to tell him, guys, this 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.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, listen.

[Joe Budden]

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. Jada, listen. He's not lying. I know you. You my brother. You always put a smile on my face, made me laugh when I come to Yon. Cause 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.

[Joe Budden]

I know.

[DJ Khaled]

I knew that Jada don't like kissing Joey Cracks.

[Joe Budden]

I knew that Jada don't like talking.

[DJ Khaled]

Like, let's not play ourselves.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, you got a lot of.

[DJ Khaled]

No, a lot.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, he got a lot of.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, Jada. No, he. Brown paperback. Jada Is a brown paperback legend.

[Joe Budden]

You the dumb king of brown.

[DJ Khaled]

He laughing because he know he's real. You know how many people I know that brought brown paper bags of Jadakiss? When you said. When you said how many features he got, he had a smile because, you know, 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]

You know, 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.

[Joe Budden]

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 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.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

From the bottom. Yes to the top.

[DJ Khaled]

That's right.

[Joe Budden]

That has seen everything across the world.

[DJ Khaled]

And that's when I got my man.

[Joe Budden]

Top five dead on lives.

[DJ Khaled]

Real talk.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[DJ Khaled]

You said it.

[Joe Budden]

Because the authenticity is too real.

[DJ Khaled]

How you gonna 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.

[Dan and Ty (Solid Verbal Podcast Hosts)]

Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

[Joe Budden]

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 fucking football game. What else could you do now? What are you trying to prove? What else can you do? I'm not trying to add on to the world because you've done so much.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Joe Crack. I'm not trying to prove nothing. My only competition is me. I'm working on the 14th album, a llama 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 or 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 going to 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 going to be a part of music history.

[Joe Budden]

That's right.

[DJ Khaled]

I don't know how. What I was going to do as far as, like, you know, when the albums came. I remember dropping the first album. Joe, I came to you. You know, 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, we. I told him, put Eminem on Lean Back. And he was like, yo, Cal, we can't.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

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 mansion gates.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes. Facts.

[Jadakiss]

One of the most consistent, relentless.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes.

[Jadakiss]

Knock down your doorknob. Khaled when he needs his verse.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, listen, Ian comes out of the mud, But Kiss, hold on.

[Jadakiss]

Kiss incinerated. He goes beyond.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Joe Budden]

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 to 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.

[Joe Budden]

Nobody can get Jada.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss. Listen, listen, listen. Got Jadakiss, same day, 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 the D block, played the record. Kiss, you know what he do? Light one up. Let that music play.

[Joe Budden]

You did it. Hey, continue.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, I'm just telling you the truth. I can make shit up if you want me to make the first I.

[Joe Budden]

Got from Jada because I had to chase him.

[DJ Khaled]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Jadakiss]

Lying again, y'.

[Joe Budden]

All.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, listen. Lying. And the man not only I give him Rolex.

[Joe Budden]

You get me?

[Jadakiss]

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 does he bless the album, he 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. And Khaled, Pistol, the whole crew.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, they gonna pull up middle of.

[Jadakiss]

The street, hopped on dirt bikes.

[Joe Budden]

I missed that one.

[DJ Khaled]

Who was selling you to come?

[Jadakiss]

Little kids.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yeah.

[Jadakiss]

That was 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, was so much fun. Not even just that Jadakiss blessed me. Besides my albums, I reached out to Kiss one time to bless me for my Jordans commercial.

[Jadakiss]

Oh.

[DJ Khaled]

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 could just dedicate me praising y'. All. First of all, y', all, two hip hop kings, two hip hop legends. And not only does I love you, everybody love you.

[Joe Budden]

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 ask, because what's the biggest check you ever got in your life?

[Jadakiss]

Oh.

[DJ Khaled]

No.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, Satan. Yeah, you got him singing that. 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.

[Joe Budden]

I know that.

[DJ Khaled]

No, no, no. I'm going to answer.

[Joe Budden]

Okay.

[DJ Khaled]

None was ever given to me.

[Joe Budden]

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. Yo, Cali just said, yo, they just left. I said, oh, 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, see, can you see? This was the moment I've been waiting for to tell him, y', all, I just made a million and some. He said, man, just pay 5 million. Brushing my teeth.

[DJ Khaled]

They just left.

[Joe Budden]

I sat back, I said, yo, at that point, I was. I'm terrified to tell you.

[Jadakiss]

I'm terrified.

[DJ Khaled]

Whatever.

[Joe Budden]

I'm.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm. 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?

[Joe Budden]

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 could. You know what the biggest thing that I love about being an overcomer? You know, let's just keep it real. We're overcomers. Super Jadakiss, you're overcomer. Joey Crack, you're overcomer. TJ Khaled, 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 for us that.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, how sad.

[DJ Khaled]

But you know what? The best thing I ever did for my blessings.

[Joe Budden]

People angry.

[DJ Khaled]

The best things I ever did for my blessings.

[Joe Budden]

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, does that ever bother you?

[Joe Budden]

Because it does bother me.

[DJ Khaled]

I tell you what 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 is 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 or father. They ain't got to 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.

[Joe Budden]

I can't go shopping. Courtney, seventh of him. I can't go shopping. Listen, I can't go shopping with another fat dude.

[DJ Khaled]

You're jealous.

[Joe Budden]

This guy here doing something that they.

[DJ Khaled]

Would want me to fucking be miserable.

[Joe Budden]

Every jacket. I went shopping with him, man. I like.

[DJ Khaled]

Stop.

[Joe Budden]

I'm walking out with a scarf.

[DJ Khaled]

You can stop it.

[Joe Budden]

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

[Jadakiss]

Kelly, leave it.

[Joe Budden]

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 flyest jacket. I need this. I need this. This. I'm looking, I'm walking out with a scarf, a fucking handkerchief. I'm like, yo, Kelly, I cann.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Joe.

[Joe Budden]

Joe, you pulling everything out.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, Joe. Crack, they call us. They call us Miami Dolphin. Yo Kiss. You think? Yo Kiss. That's one thing they take. They take my kindness for weakness because you know I'm kind. And kiss. You know I got love. But a lot of people take our kindness for weakness.

[Joe Budden]

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 bands and Alexis Crack and MPV. I think I named all your whips.

[Joe Budden]

You did?

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, you did. So I just want you to know.

[Joe Budden]

You was there when I get underwear.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Joe Budden]

What about your relationship?

[DJ Khaled]

I was there with McCunros 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 was 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 in Brownsville? So I ended 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.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah.

[DJ Khaled]

And he got little nickel bags all over the table and he rolling up a blunt. Joke Crack walk in the studio, you know, he's Joe Cracking 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 bought a big check, gives him a check, a check, and then says, see, the Lexus outside is yours. Am I lying?

[Joe Budden]

Right?

[DJ Khaled]

He recorded Still Not a Player, but didn't record the final version. Steve Rifkin and everybody from the label kept calling Joe and Pun, 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.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, the remix.

[DJ Khaled]

Remix. Remix. I'm glad you said that. The remix. And Pun went in the booth and freestyle just talking mad craziness. Like, yo, the label, this and this and that and this and that. They 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. They 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 gotta see.

[Jadakiss]

Minnie did the original.

[Joe Budden]

Minnie did the original.

[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 the Lexus in front of 5th Avenue, South beach in Flying a front of Club Cream, and he played me twins. And he's like, yo, this is 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 had, you know, blessed me to have a relationship with Pun, but Pun used to come to Miami. He came to Miami. He went to. God bless him. God bless him.

[Joe Budden]

Man Hun would drive down to Miami.

[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's a band. It's me and it's Pun. And the man had a big TS chain like this big. The Biggie. Hold on.

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 Capping the Man. Pun had a hundred people around his house and like, at least 50 people in it.

[Joe Budden]

No, he was going to jail for a thousand.

[DJ Khaled]

No, listen, I'm just telling.

[Joe Budden]

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 nap. I never seen nothing like it in my life. He just got done ripping it down. Legendary. And when the beat faded out, took a nap. No, you got to 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 a victory. Imagine how that shit sounded. Be fun.

[DJ Khaled]

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.

And I'll never forget, he came to Orlando with Pun and they had like a red beat. Matter of fact, this. Repeat those pictures that you posted 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.

[Joe Budden]

[DJ Khaled]

You gotta remember, I was the little. I was a kid, I was a baby, but I was embracing this greatness. I gotta see Biz Markey, Joey Crack and Big Pun and all these greats. 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.

My catalog is several greatest hits. Not one greatest hits. Several different parts of greatest hits. I could talk 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 coward. 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. God, my humbleness. My humbleness. All glory to God. Alamba God. No God want me.

[Joe Budden]

What does the Lamb of God mean?

[DJ Khaled]

Alam in Arabic means world. Elam Alam means world. World of God. This is world of God. The reason why I named my Alma Lama God. Not only is my son named Alam 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 didn't 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 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.

[Joe Budden]

Top five moments. You know, I was there when you. 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.

[Joe Budden]

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 that you was like, is this happening?

[Jadakiss]

What are you talking about? Right there? Recorded something.

[DJ Khaled]

Well, it was actually Zuma beside the Noble, because Nobles. I love Noble. I got the Noble Sushi sneakers.

[Joe Budden]

Everybody was Zuma.

[DJ Khaled]

It was Zuma. And I heard this record playing was in the private room, and I was like this crazy. So I Shazam. Did I'm there with you. Yeah. Shammed it. And the next day I went home, looped it up, got with the team, and we made Shining Shining, Shining Shiny. 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, miniature, and 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 knew you on my album. And I played him shining 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 not being honest. You want me to lie to you? I could lie to you.

[Jadakiss]

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'm leaving. I get to the car, I'm telling all my team, like, yo, 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 if somebody around, like, you like, look.

[Joe Budden]

You like.

[DJ Khaled]

It's not. 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 pic 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 fuck 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 off. 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. 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 him on. God did. I got.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

Him and Nas. Sorry, Nas.

[Joe Budden]

God did. Wait, he was crazy on the. God did.

[DJ Khaled]

Yo, it's crazy because when I want 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. Cause I went to New York for the promo. So I wanted to film the video with that week. The album was like two days old. And Kiss was on the block with his whole crew. And we had God there. Pete was there. We had God that playing. And Kiss was reciting his bars. The whole verse, word for word. The whole block was, I have it on camera. Pull it up. Somebody Jamie send him. Somebody go to my Instagram and find. 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. 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, I hit him with a talk. You know that talk. You can't just. 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 fuck boy. You could be over here in Miami grabbing a mango off the holy ground tree. They said, you want to be a fuck boy? You could be over here embracing love. More love, more life, more blessings. So remember, he hearing that and then 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 story. Then Little Wayne come in. He like. By the time, he already like this. Look. Then I left the open purse, might.

[Joe Budden]

As well pop that bottle.

[DJ Khaled]

And I said, just look, look. I kept doing this to him. Look, like pointing him like, that's you. You got. That's where you come in. So he like this. I see him freestyling his head. He loving it. But I continue. I didn't. I don't stop the music. I continue playing an album. He's like, pull that. God be back again. I was like looking at Jamie and everybody. I was like, 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, yes, 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 is going to 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? A few days later, he's like, yo, Cal and Lenny, book studio, blah, blah, blah. No, I replied so fast. Been done the whole time. I'm like, please God, tell me the studio's available. Because he picked a certain studio. I put Ben done.

[Joe Budden]

It was this New York studio.

[DJ Khaled]

Yes, New York. It's New York, right? Hours later. No, no, no. Let me keep it more honest. The man texted, say yo, book studio. Yo Calen, 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 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 FaceTimed me and he got 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 phone was stuck because it kept going. So I'm confused. I'm not crazy. Like 100 bar verse. So I'm like losing my mind 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 one. 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 gotta breathe here. I'm in my mode. I send it back to him right away. God didn't. That was a goddamn moment. And I never forget. Cause right after that, 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 not like a 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.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, dear.

[DJ Khaled]

You understand what I'm trying to say? Kiss and crack. So you gotta remember, y' all used to this type of. Nah, we ain't used no crack. You gotta understand, I'm a fan.

[Joe Budden]

I went to the Grammys with you. With the bubble gum on you.

[DJ Khaled]

So speaking of the Grammys.

[Joe Budden]

No, my suit was leggings.

[DJ Khaled]

Speaking of the Grammys.

[Joe Budden]

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 leather. That's a different kind of leather.

[Jadakiss]

That's different leathers, right?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I got those.

[Jadakiss]

But, I mean, you can't come with no holy.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, yo.

[DJ Khaled]

Hey, yo. Challenge.

[Jadakiss]

Holy sweat.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[DJ Khaled]

Whatever.

[Joe Budden]

Because our. We just are a storytelling. And, man, we paint the picture 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 ass on.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, yeah, with the fat ass on it.

[DJ Khaled]

I know, but.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

No, but Joe.

[Joe Budden]

Almost ready to say.

[DJ Khaled]

Joe, I'm going to Episodes.

[Jadakiss]

We still.

[DJ Khaled]

No, I want to be real with you.

[Joe Budden]

I'm telling you, we better than everybody.

[DJ Khaled]

I know. But I want to be real with you because I want you.

[Joe Budden]

I don't give a fuck you right?

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Joe Budden]

To win, that's a fact.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Jadakiss]

We gotta be easy.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Jadakiss]

Pop our shit.

[DJ Khaled]

But we gotta be. 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.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

This is the culture.

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, this is the culture, but this is for the culture.

[Joe Budden]

Imitating 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 there's 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 even think each other up.

[Joe Budden]

You never.

[DJ Khaled]

You. You.

[Joe Budden]

You taught me something that I never thought about it. You get. You gave me a point.

[DJ Khaled]

In the map of the world, 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, 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 hate, me personally, I only can speak for cattle. Cattle. I don't deal with it. I'm too busy raising my kids, feeding my family, doing shit and working.

[Joe Budden]

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 light in life. It's like. It's like balance. You choose good or you choose evil. Me, personally, I choose love and good. What are you doing wrong?

[Joe Budden]

What do you do? What do you do?

[DJ Khaled]

I'm just not. I'm just not soft. I'm not gonna blink. I'm not gonna flinch. Yes, I have some brothers of mine that love me. And they the realest. You know, Joey Gratt and I could speak a hundred other names, but just in my bloodline, you know what I'm saying? I'm always gonna be righteous, but I'm not salt. 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.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, listen, 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 know. 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 asked God, I said, cause this man is who he is. He's truly righteous. He's really about his family. He's about his community. He's about to love and peace. I hear this shit with no, but.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Joe Budden]

I know that, Callie.

[DJ Khaled]

Hold on, Joe, you know that. But I wanna let Jadakiss try to split. I know you speaking to them, but 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.

[Joe Budden]

If I need a loan, it's too.

[DJ Khaled]

Much you've done for me.

[Joe Budden]

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 a rich. Yo, Rich. It's a recession, you know? No, no. Somebody asked me the other day for a little bag because I sent him half the bag because there's a recession. No, but I'm there. I'm there. Yo, we honest. Listen.

[Jadakiss]

Yo, that's the gas.

[DJ Khaled]

Listen, but. Kiss. Kiss, Jedi. Shayna, Kiss.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

Of course, but Joe. Ma Beef, I know how to. Joe, let me ask you a question.

[Joe Budden]

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.

[Joe Budden]

Break that down. Break that down.

[DJ Khaled]

I can tell you what does that I'm gonna 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.

[Joe Budden]

No. Show up against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

He's a beautiful man.

[Joe Budden]

Against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

He's a beautiful young Kelly, beautiful man.

[Joe Budden]

Young. Against anybody.

[DJ Khaled]

What I'm trying to tell you is.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

People I don't know.

[Joe Budden]

It's what we doing here.

[DJ Khaled]

But say I see Joe friends with a 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 Jody, 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, you 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.

[DJ Khaled]

And.

[Jadakiss]

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. Anthony Hamilton, Somebody else. Scarface. Hey, less of 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 part 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. Me and Meek and Ross in Atlanta. We was in Atlanta with a hundred behind us with Akon singing the hook. But that particular rap and Scarface doing his hook, his verse in Houston, even Face Mob told me, yo, that verse, he said like it put tears in his eyes saying that verse. You know what I'm saying, because you know how you say some people think shit is cap and some shit, you know, some shit is no cap.

[Joe Budden]

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 lama 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. So I changed the title quick, and I called it All Glory Night.

[Joe Budden]

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 got to rap alarm. I'm like, you right? And I had that album called Glory to God. And I was like, you know what it's gonna be called Alarm of God.

[Joe Budden]

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, you, you, you look at my life at that time. You know, I lived that title.

[Joe Budden]

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 so wealthy, you know, I could hire a dj.

[DJ Khaled]

Can I throw this now or.

[Joe Budden]

No, you could throw it down. Charlie. Throwing the flag.

[DJ Khaled]

I don't know when he starts saying sorry. And, like, that's throwing the flag.

[Joe Budden]

Yes, Charlie.

[DJ Khaled]

Should I throw it in that look? What else should I throw? Because your kids. That's what you doing.

[Joe Budden]

I'm going 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, Funk Master Flex, Clark Kent. Wow. And the reason why I said, first of all, those three are 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 Carr, 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. Remember that Onyx song? I remember him premiering that.

[Joe Budden]

Onyx changed my life.

[DJ Khaled]

No, that's what 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 it's 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, it just started getting gangster, you know, Am I lying? Yes.

[Joe Budden]

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?

[Joe Budden]

G Bo, the Pro Chibo, the Pro Double R. Remember that?

[DJ Khaled]

Smooth Brothers Ted Smooth. You remember all those.

[Joe Budden]

Them had something going. That Jibo the Bro Double R. That was crazy recipes. My brother. My brother.

[DJ Khaled]

But then you had like a J. Masculine 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, shit that I'm like, what the fuck, right? You know, it's so many. Then you got 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.

[Joe Budden]

Listen, I know that I used to fight BMF in Miami trying to get in your club. We used to be online trying to bum rush because there was this club out here. What was the club at me, what was the club that was outdoors and.

[DJ Khaled]

You had the room and we had Club Craig. That got crazy too.

[Joe Budden]

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

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah, that was three in the morning and the whole, whole room. When I play Young Jeezy, I'm the. I'm one of the first to play Young Jeezy as Jeezy. I never forget the whole BMF King and 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 never forget. Cuz my room was like, you got to pay a lot of money to get in that room.

[Joe Budden]

And I remember, let's explain that it was a big club and Cali 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 was trying to get in that room. And it was BMF at a promise. I never forget you playing Hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling for ways banging on that wall.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss. What'd you say?

[Joe Budden]

Banging hours.

[DJ Khaled]

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

[Joe Budden]

Hustling, hustling, hustling.

[DJ Khaled]

I never forget. But I remember Jeezy and the whole BMF being a 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 me trueber. 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 ain't even listening 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 a 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. 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 little kid right there by the speaker that's watching this shit. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? I'm watching Proddy, Prodigy, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Joey Crack Pun, Pune up in the. What was that Benz?

[Joe Budden]

What was it, 5, 7, 5, 100?

[DJ Khaled]

Like one of them big fat bands, the Benzo.

[Joe Budden]

They got an interview where he looks, he go, which one? Oh, great one.

[DJ Khaled]

That bad?

[Joe Budden]

Yo, this is. Nah, yo, I'm in there.

[DJ Khaled]

I'm on the side hanging off a speaker, watching Prodigy and Mob Deep Havoc performing Shook ones. And then Joey's cracking them coming out of Twins.

[Jadakiss]

That's great.

[DJ Khaled]

[Joe Budden]

[DJ Khaled]

Yeah. I have no choice to make some money, boy. Because these guys here, I got no choice to hustle now.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, Cali, let me get one of them stones.

[DJ Khaled]

Oh, let me get a calico. Shout out to Abby and Company, because I call this, you know, I name everything. I call this. I couldn't make my mind up because there's so many different stone and different shapes and different, yo, crack. It's so many different cuts. Abby and Co.

[DJ Khaled]

But, Sebastian, you love this shit, right?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. What's crazy is Hong Kong's Mongolian. We made this guy a household name, but they don't know that's what we do. You just gave the chain a name called We Can't Make Our Mind Up.

[DJ Khaled]

This is called I Couldn't Make Amaya Brown. And this call called Miami Dolphins. Miami Dolphins. That's great.

[Joe Budden]

Listen, man, we went topless. I'm not confused.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss, what's your man? Kiss. Kiss. Yo, this is Joe and Jada. They say, you know what I love about the Joe and Jada Show?

[Joe Budden]

You usually got to chase him to do something.

[DJ Khaled]

First of all, I'm gonna be real with you. I'm gonna be real with you.

[Joe Budden]

Wanna get on this yo crack.

[DJ Khaled]

Kiss. I'm gonna be real with you. This is true on everything I love. I only can do things that's gonna inspire me and motivate me. And I feel an energy that I know that God bless when I see this show, I'm telling you not because y' all my brothers, and thank you for repping Hip hop and loving it so much. Because without your guests on there, this is shit y' all talking about. And the way y' all producers are throwing up the clips and certain songs, and the other day, y' all threw in. Here we go again again. It made me immediately find a pick and throw up. Here we go again. Like, I'm like, yo, these guys are so on point. And you know what say Hip Hop. You know, I could be somebody and be like, yo, love. Or I could tell you how I feel. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm never not going to be the fan. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I got a relationship with Jadakiss. Yeah, Joey Crack, I have a relationship, and y' all my brothers. But don't get it twisted. That's fucking J to Kiss. That's Joey Craft. Yes, they my brothers. Yes, they got me. And I got them, too. But don't get it twisted. Before I met them, these were my idols. Like, you know, I have many Idols, you gotta understand, like this is special. And Kiss, when I see you on this show, and Joe said it perfectly in the beginning, we never got a chance to know the personality.

[Jadakiss]

That's right.

[DJ Khaled]

You know we knew about top five and straight bars coming for your neck.

[Joe Budden]

That's a fact.

[DJ Khaled]

You know what I'm saying? But I knew the personality because I know you as a friend and as a brother. I could reach out to you and we family, you know what I'm saying? But I knew the fans didn't know what I knew. I knew they didn't know what I knew. Yes, they love you and they got you. They respect you. But they didn't know what I knew and what Joe knew. But guess what? Now they know.

[Jadakiss]

Train is coming, babe.

[Joe Budden]

The train is crack.

[DJ Khaled]

And the thing is that everybody watching this show know that about you. And you too.

[Joe Budden]

Crap.

[DJ Khaled]

You always been somebody that gonna make people smile and entertain, but they smack.

[Jadakiss]

The shit out of you.

[DJ Khaled]

Exactly. Don't get twisted. A lot of these people, and no disrespect when I say this, please don't because you know, I, you know, I'm not gonna say it.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, listen, there's a guy, there's a comedian. I don't know his name. I. Keep me posted.

[DJ Khaled]

Can't do that.

[Joe Budden]

It's this dude, he be going, fien Joe was there when Jesus met Moses.

[DJ Khaled]
