We Depressed! DJ Khaled’s Most Annoying Moments

“Lissssssssssssssstennn: I’m about to bust ass.”
Hate him or love him, you can’t deny that DJ Khaled—the man of a million terrible catchphrases—has become one of the funniest rap dudes on the Internet. There’s loud, irritating, and obnoxious…and then there’s Khaled, who’s like the perfect storm of douchebaggery.
Now don’t get us wrong, we mess with a few of Khaled’s “featuring every rapper from the South” posse cuts (watch the “Out Here Grinding” video), and we definitely commend his hustle, but it seems like every week a random new Khaled clip pops up on YouTube that makes us shake our head. With Khaled’s new album We Global on the way, it’s only right that we analyze his most obnoxiously entertaining on-camera moments…
DJ KHALED’S POOLSIDE CHAT
RATING:

Your man says his magic word no less than 13 times in the first 33 seconds of this clip. Wow. He also states that one of his goals is to own gas stations. Hmmm…Arab stereotype, much?
DJ KHALED PITCHES ACE HOOD TO DJ INFAMOUS
RATING:

The rap industry is one huge food chain of dick-riding, so there’s something kind of endearing about hearing an Atlanta DJ’s enthusiastic reception to Khaled’s manic sales pitch. Khaled is selling Ace Hood, but he sounds like he’s peddling used stereo equipment to a German tourist. What you’re witnessing is the circle of life.
DJ KHALED INTRODUCES HIS RAP FRIENDS BACKSTAGE
RATING:

Let’s play the thought bubble game. Rick Ross: “Man I should just arrest this fool right now.” Fat Joe: “Did I really give Triple Seis’ old TS chain to this clown?” Shawty Lo: “I’m just happy to be backstage.” Ace Hood: “He promised me he’d make me a star *SIGH*.” Akon: “I do not give a fuck, I am rich.”
DJ KHALED MAKES GAME-WINNING SHOT
RATING:

This is the first—and undoubtedly last—YouTube clip of DJ Khaled engaging in an athletic activity. He celebrates his “game-winning shot” with typical bombast, even though the shit barely rimmed in and he was apparently competing against 13-year-old girls.
DJ KHALED “PERFORMS” FOR KANYE AND CONSEQUENCE
RATING:

The grand daddy of them all…yes, Khaled, this video is simply THE BEST. Rather than give our own analysis, we’ll open the floor to our top 5 commentators at worldstarhiphop.com:
5. “watch this clip with the sound down kahled look like he on that yayo. that arab crunk”
4. “THAT NIGGA KHALED LOOKIN LIKE THE PENGUIN FROM BATMAN RETURNS….FLAPPIN HIS WINGS….IS KANYE BEING HELD AGAINST HIS WILL OR SOMETHING?”
3. “dj khaled look like he got kanye held hostage lol”
2. “Khaled looks like he sells calzones at Madison square Gaeden. ‘Wee’ da Best, with extra Cheeeze!!’”
1. “Kanye look like ‘nigga I just wanted to know where the bathroom was’”

Out Here Grinding excluded, Khaled has dropped some of the best crew tracks of the last few years.
Suge Knight says…”Any artist out there wanna be an artist. And wanna stay a star. And don’t want to have to worry about the executive producer tryna be all in the videos, all in the record, dancing. Come to Death Row” LOL

Comment by Sickamore — July 23, 2008 #
You missed my fav DJ Khaled video. From when he was on rap city and he refused to put “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” in the classic albums paper bag. Lmao. Rap City host: “Does the album go in the bag?” Khaled: “These shades are Gucci”

This is genius.
Comment by Metrocard — July 23, 2008 #

i’m waiting for the arab attack to give an acceptance speech at the grammy’s.
Comment by pancakes — July 24, 2008 #
@ DJ Raida:
I remember that Rap City…its the one where Q45 kept asking him about the Young Buck beef and Khaled dodged every question by staring at the camera and saying “I’m about UUUUUUNITY!”/”…But We The Best!” cant find a link but that was hilarious.

Comment by faceman — July 25, 2008 #
What you all need to understand is that Khaled is the best. I’m the best. You the best. Complex is the best. Gmail is the best. The person cleaning the floors at McDonalds is the best. The dude who is reading this is the best. We the best. The best. Best is the Best. I am the best, best.
…best.
Comment by Des — July 25, 2008 #
Yall a trip, I think the dude is funny. He’s not that annoying. He just reminds me of a superstar that is still a fan of music.
Comment by Frizzo — July 26, 2008 #
You know what’s even more annoying? So called in-the-know dickriders who type in ALL CAPS like that will alter someone else’s opinion, since it differs from their own. I love Hip Hop, but as it stands right now 90% of the f****rs in it are pure smelly rotten garbage. I applaud anybody doing their thing legit, but if it’s wack, regardless of how much money you got it’s still wack. You’re still pushing ignorance. Smart is the new gangsta. Go read a f****ng book.
Comment by Honest Abe — August 1, 2008 #
Khaled has brought people together, thank god he’s endorsing rappers nas, garcia and joell ortiz, best rappers in hip-hop.
Comment by Afi K. James — August 1, 2008 #
Damn INFECTIOUS TROY I’m sure the editors at Complex met more rap affiliates than you ever did but that don’t mean they won’t shit on them. If there’s materials to talk about, it needs to be addressed.
Is cool you respect this cat, but that don’t mean everybody have to ride on the same wagon as you do.
PS. I didn’t know anything about this dude until I saw these clips. On some real shit I haven’t heard Hip-Hop on the radio for an ill long minute. So the answer to question about a “group” is “I don’t know.”
