  • Now I would just like to take a moment to warn anyone who owns an investment property near the fires that the listings are online with the exact address where literally anyone can find them, they can see that you are taking advantage of the market conditions as is only fair to improve your financial position, they know the house is unoccupied and probably isnt being surveiled or protected in any meaningful way.

    There is next to nothing to stop people with no respect for the law or how hard you work from going straight to the property and vandalising it or otherwise making the property unrentable. They dont even need to break in, glue in the locks or spraying the garden with weed killer as they stroll past.

    Please take care.






  • I wish I could throw stones on this but if I was an international A list celebrity with many millions of dollars and some of the worlds most attractive women, women so attractive that they are professionally attractive regularly wanted to date me I cant say 100% that Id behave any better.

    I mean, the man engages in consential relationships with women of legal age and so far I havent heard any allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault, underage shenanigans or P Diddy shit.


  • Your assesment of that era of rap is 100% spot on. That was a very braggadocious and flashy era leading up to the financial collapse in 08. Dj Khaled was music for nightclubs, it was “gangster rap” for the masses, it was radio play accessible without being edited to death… and it sold.

    I dont know the man but I think it was a lot like what happens to a lot of people in entertainment, you have to fake it till you make it. Nobody wants to hear songs about how you’re going to climb to the middle. But eventually at some level of success you need to stop huffing your own farts and show some humility and I dont think he ever has.


  • You said it yourself he is very good at generating hype in an industry that survives on hype. He was a flashy obnoxious tool when everyone was wearing Ed Hardy jeans and 3 inch round Ecko watches studded with fake diamonds. He was Mr Miami when the south was blowing up rap wise. He was the right personality, in the right place, at the right time with the right skills and right connections and he hustled.

    I know I’m repeating myself saying “I think he is a tool” but that being said, I was really into rap and the scene during the era he had his come up and I know he didnt stumble into success.



  • Dj Khaled is kind of the posterchild for egotistical dickhead, I will never dispute this. However, his skill is bringing talent together and he is pretty damn good at it. He’s more like a movie producer/casting director than a music producer in how he does business. He hears a beat, thinks “Who would destroy on this?” Buys the beat, Makes some phone calls, gets some artists onboard to do a verse, pays the artists for their work, mixes the track or pays a producer who he thinks has skills to do it for him and releases it.

    He is the child of Palestinian immigrants and built himself his dream job and is worth an estimated 70 million, have a look at his wikipedia for the sheer number of awards he has been nominated for… Talentless hacks cant do that. Raging egomaniacs with annoying personalities sure can tho.
