My Take
I have a genuine soft spot for DJ Khaled because he's basically turned enthusiasm itself into a career move — the man built an empire not by being the most technically gifted DJ in the room, but by understanding that music is a team sport and he wanted to be the loudest cheerleader on the field. Born in New Orleans and raised in Orlando, he made his name in Miami radio and then just started calling up Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Drake, Rihanna, and whoever else he needed for his records, and somehow they always showed up. "Another One," "I'm the One," "God Did" — these are genuine hits, not fluke moments. His whole persona, the Snapchat life wisdom, the lion roar, the "they don't want you to win" philosophy, is ridiculous and completely sincere at the same time, and I respect that more than I probably should.
