DJ Khalid is a true inspiration to us all! He shows that you can have literally zero talent and still become famous. Truly incredible!

[jordonsample]

His true talent is talking on the phone, getting artists to pullup to the studio

[jacobl]

He does have social skills and charisma. He probably knew how to maneuver his way in the industry and connect with the right artists. I’ll give him that

[goblinsinatrenchcoat]

This is literally me right now trying to figure out how FL studio works 🤣

[evollife]

He buys all his beats. Then finds rappers to use them and slaps his name on it. We know the truth Bru.

[danemiller]

Dj Khalid is the epitome of "fake it till you make it"

[ponternal]

DJ Khalid is an inspiration because he succeeded being a music artist without knowing anything about music

[gunreddy]

It sounds like the second beat I ever made in cracked FL Studio.

Seriously though, Khaled did used to produce like more than 10 years ago. He gets justifiably roasted and clowned on but that small snippet isn't enough to judge his actual production skills. Most of my beats start out as those shitty sounding drums.

[terryjohnson]

It’s kind of hard to produce beat when it’s your first time. Come on guys he’s putting in effort. 😂🤣 Look at it on the bright side it’s always old classics he can sample.😂🤣

[timonfischer]

You guys have no idea what a hardworking genius this man is. "Iced out my arms" is a good example: He bought a beat from Metro Boomin and Southside and had the brilliant idea to put a Future hook and verses from 21 and the Migos on it. That was something unheard of back in 2017. After that he paid a team to mix and master his innovative and daring creation and someone to put it on his Youtube and Spotify account. Dont forget the "DJ, "Another one" etc. and that he paid a camera team to take pictures of his half naked son for the cover.
Its really mind-boggling how he didnt burn out after all these years of hard work.

I was living in Paris, producing house music and this dj came up to me in a club and asked if he could make some tracks with me, so I invited him over, he sat down in the studio and didn't know what to do, so I asked if he wanted me to show him, he said no I'll just tell you my ideas and you lay them down for me, basically make his tracks for him, he went away and was telling everyone about the tracks that HE produced!!!

We all have ideas, but not everyone can realise them

[joker-qjzn]

I mean theres a process to making beats, some are throw aways, others you can cook up in a couple minutes, some can take a whole week. Cant have bias off a 10 sec clip. just saying.

[FendiPendergrass]

How is he making a beat without turning on the MPC? Lmao we must learn his ways 🤣

[cxssetteman]

The "DJ" in his name stands for Dumb Jockey

[ReeseChown]

I saw him trying to scratch real records and laughed. Juggling is an art form, I appreciate all the REAL DJs playing great sets

[EmperorDraconianIV]

For all those fans making fun of Khaled they have no idea how beat making works. You don't just seat down most days and automatically have a hit record. A producer may get 1 decent track from 5 beats and they have to be as open minded as possible.

[nicktronson]

btw krs-one raps better then all trap rappers to ever exist.

[cubbdacrossfacecrippler]

So people hear a beat in the beginning stages and think it's a finished product

[jeremiahwoods]

He turned his beats into a brand that someone else does all the work like Puffy Did before him😂

[arsilent]

Lol, Tyler was in his ear like...
"Make it weirder, People like that".
