DJ Khaled's been having so much success, and from the looks of it, he's not suffering all that much. To celebrate "Hold You Down" becoming the #1 urban record in the country, Khaled decided to jet off to the Bahamas. In the 12-minute video above, Khaled walks us through his vacation full of jet skiing, expensive showering, and a legitimate attempt to drink a Bel Air Black Bottle underwater.

For the sake of brevity though, let's break down the most impactful and inspiring quotes and events from Khaled's adventures in the Bahamas.

DJ Khaled is Breaking News. This isn't up for debate. Now that you're tuned in officially, there's one central message to Khaled's video: 

CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE, AND KEEP CELEBRATING. "HOLD YOU DOWN" IS THE NO. 1 RECORD IN THE COUNTRY. 

But even when hygiene needs attention, it's not the body that needs cleaning—it's the jewelry.

You don't get to being No. 1 without treating yourself like you're No. 1. That's why DJ Khaled has engineered a new super food for us: No. 1 Egg Whites. Because when you're No. 1, No. 1 food should taste like No. 1. Not No. 2, or No. 3, but No. 1. This distinction is key to Khaled:

It's incredible how #focused Khaled is while on "vacation." As he went hard on the elliptical machine, he provided this inspiration: "They don't want you to win. They don't want you to have the No. 1 record in the country. They don't want you get healthy. They don't want you to exercise. And they don't want you to have that view."

"They don't want you doing 360's on a jet-ski."

[If DJ Khaled could speak underwater]: "They don't want you trying to pour liquid while swimming in other liquids."

"The way the game is built, they don't want you to win. Them doors that were always closed. I ripped the door off. I took the hinges off. I took the hinges and put them on the fuccbois hands that were trying to lock the door."

Stay winning, Khaled.
