12850918, DJ Khaled on the wheels of steel
Posted by RobOne4, Sat Jul-11-15 05:36 AM
this guy doesnt even know how to use serato to pick his songs. I think his ghost DJ actually adjust the pitch for him too. This is like when I let my son play on my tables. He dances around and touches a bunch of shit. But really he aint doing shit.

With those two cameras filming every move.
12851002, I thought being a "selector" was part of the job lol!

Wow Bruh, you use someone to pick the joints for you i would think to allow you to focus more on the technical aspects, OK.

But then you can't even stay on beat with that extra freedom smh.

Fail.
12851099, i wish snoop's DJ set from Movement Detroit were available
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Jul-11-15 06:21 PM
I heard many comments about it being the weirdest and most awful DJ set theyd ever seen
12851207, I still think Badu's set is the worse I have ever seen

12851261, same for me but only because i didnt see snoop that night
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sun Jul-12-15 06:39 AM
Apparently there was no mixer and no decks (turntables or CDJs or even Maschine)

Just a laptop plugged directly into the PA

Lol
12851205, Lol

12851210, I see shit like this and don't even want to dj anymore
Posted by TheStandard, Sat Jul-11-15 11:14 PM
y'all got it.

I think I'll just do something else.
12851211, His name is DJ Khaled so maybe he's rusty?
Posted by Kira, Sat Jul-11-15 11:18 PM
I remember video of him "DJing" on Hot 97. Maybe Khaled is rusty.
12851217, I havent touched my tables in 2 years
Posted by RobOne4, Sat Jul-11-15 11:39 PM
no way I sound that bad when I do get on them. Shit is like riding a bike. Might take a few minutes to get into a groove. If anything scratching and beat juggling would be rusty. But once you learn to blend it never goes away.
12851212, Lol @ this comment:

"LMAO he's shit. he should be called 'Record Owner and Collaborator Khaled'"



Since 1976
12851263, i DJ'd with him at The Edge in Tallahassee in April 2008.

Serato was brand new. He looked COMPLETELY fucking lost.

I just remember his homie telling him he could blend songs in by looking at "da graphhhs, da graphhhs!!!!" almost every time he tried to blend something. And he would do this horrid baby scratch before every other song he dropped in, no flow at all.
12851474, DJ Kool Aid. Hahahahaha.

That is the most dislikes I have ever seen for a video.

The things around this video (comments, stats, etc.) are too funny.
12851484, This is hip hop in 2015
Posted by Amritsar, Sun Jul-12-15 04:16 PM
Even the fucking DJs are frauds

Except for r tistic of course
12851533, This isn't something new
Posted by AZ, Sun Jul-12-15 05:54 PM
Celebrity "djs" have been garbage for a long time.
12851540, Im confused....
Posted by TR808, Sun Jul-12-15 06:24 PM
He got somebody that selects the records for him????

What is going on in this video..????

Even if I excuse this... he just seems to be really bad....

this was 2012 tho so maybe he is a lot better now....


or not....
12851543, They're The Best?

Y'all gon stop hating on Khaled Khaled.

He gotta be doing something, he's probably ghostwriting all of those tracks.

Look at how he expressed his ingenuity through Scarface & Nas, he even telling Premo how to make the beat. Cmon now

He gave Cipha Sounds that work for hating

Word
12851544, Khaled came to a club I was spinning at, he had a ghost DJ
Posted by TheStandard, Sun Jul-12-15 06:36 PM
and he performed on the bar.....

never touched the tables


12851610, Is something supposed to happen when he touches the tables?
Posted by JFrost1117, Sun Jul-12-15 09:13 PM
Or, is he just ruining my perception of DJ'ing? Like, in my mental mind, I would assume that touching anything produces some sort of sound or feedback. None of that is even to mention that he looks as lost as I would on any kinda DJ setup. I imagine him being on some bullshit like "Nah yo, this ain't how I like mine setup, I got a real specific way"
12851619, most of the time he is cueing up the record
Posted by RobOne4, Sun Jul-12-15 09:46 PM
if you look at the cross fader (the fader going left and right) if it is on the left side and he is touching the right table. That means the music is coming from the left table that he isnt touching. What's funny is how long it takes him to cue up the record only to have an off beat mix.
12851621, maybe he got better nowadays
