"Mr. Khaled"


Have you ever had one of those moments that you said to yourself while learning something... you say to yourself... I knew that already but I didn't look at the situation in that light... and I'm not sure why I didn't look at it that way. I just had one of those moments as I read SOHH.com's weekly "word on the street in Hip-Hop" weekly blog called Pulse Report. I quote:

"Is DJ Khaled the best? Just last year, Khaled Khaled (yes, that's his real name) was harassing us to listen. And now that the world is paying attention, this cocky bastard is boasting that he's the best. But is he really the best? And if so, why? Why doesn't he produce more songs on his own albums? Can he even cut a record? Cool, he rolls with Weezy and them, but shouldn't he be saying, "they the best" and not "we?" Why is he always screaming? While we're on Khaled, isn't he Palestinian? And if so, why the hell does he keep shouting the n-word on his records?"

I mean, if you really look at that quote, especially in regards to the use of the N-Word.. if he had on his native Palestinian garb on his album covers & appearances and was yelling "n!99@" on his musical releases would it be cool? ...would it?
