DJ Khaled Addresses “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie” Critics

    DJ Khaled recently addressed critics of his single, “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie,” a selection that features Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Rick RossMeek Mill and T.I. over Beat Bully production.

    “I feel like ‘Pac,” DJ Khaled said during a recent interview with Life+Times. “I feel like Biggie. We ain’t say I am ‘Pac or I am Biggie. That’s where you have to use your intelligence. Wheoever’s thinking that it’s supposed to be a negative vibe, I’m confused ’cause I don’t understand it. It’s nothin’ but love. Of course you have people talking this and that, but I think they misunderstand the energy. The energy is ‘I Feel Like ‘Pac/I Feel Like Biggie.’ They the greatest ever. Nobody’s better than them.” 

    Ma$e was believed to be a critic of the song. Soon after it was released, the Harlem, New York emcee posted an Instagram image of The Notorious B.I.G. lamenting that his former colleague’s memory was being “watered down.” 

    During his Life+Times interview, DJ Khaled also explained the significance of creating an album titled Suffering from Success.

    “Biggie told us ‘Mo Money, ‘Mo Problems,'” Khaled said. “Now when I look at anybody that’s an icon or a legend in this game, I triple-respect them now. I look at Birdman, I gotta salute him. I look at Puff Dady, I gotta salute him. Jay Z, a Biggie, a ‘Pac, all the great ones, I extra-salute them more than I ever did because I know they had to go through a lot of bullshit because they was on top. When you climbin’ that mountain, they root for you. When you get to the top, it’s a whole ‘nother movie. That’s why you have to respect the great ones, the ones that stay on top, because that ain’t easy. It comes with a lot of bullshit. The great ones that survive all that and overcome all that are the best. We the fuckin’ best.”

    DJ Khaled’s Suffering from Success was released today (October 22). It can be streamed on HipHopDX.

      1. Because his mom was an actual penguin. His sick ass dad raped a penguin and Khaled was born several weeks later. Now, do you understand?

    1. he aint do a very good job addressing the critics he just started talkin bout triple respecting and extra-saluting cats with lots of money…

      I still feel the same way about the song as I did before watching this and I’m sure Ma$e does too!

      1. Do you read?

        “I feel like ‘Pac,” DJ Khaled said during a recent interview with Life+Times. “I feel like Biggie. We ain’t say I am ‘Pac or I am Biggie. That’s where you have to use your intelligence. Wheoever’s thinking that it’s supposed to be a negative vibe, I’m confused ’cause I don’t understand it. It’s nothin’ but love.

      2. get yourself a baby bottle and stop cryin’. his explanation made perfect sense. they literally said at the end of the song “how you gon compare yourself to them if you ain’t even ready to be great”

        keep catchin feelings about your dead heroes if you want, but his explanation made sense

      3. “He didn’t do a good job of addressing the critics”. If that’s the case what should he have said? Since you speak for people in the music business now, you should know how he should have addressed the critics. Explain?

    2. Dont even care for the guy but hes 100% correct.

      People need to look at their priorities & stop worshipping idols. People will curse & take God and Jesus names in vain all day then get salty when a rapper says he feels like Biggie.

      Great MCs but they were men. Not gods. Get over it.

    3. They the greatest ever. Nobody’s better than them.”

      LOL HE FORGOT ABOUT BIG PUN THEM TS DUDES AIN’T GONNA LIKE THAT

    4. These truth videos have just become Album promo videos for Elliott’s friends. Anyway his album has got terrible reviews so hopefully this will be his last. His formula has had its day and has hurt hip hop enough.

      1. The point is you keep coming back to comment on an artist you don’t like or feel his music but you keep coming back. Why?

    5. EVERYONE knows Elliott Wilson and RapRadar take money for coverage, Khaled paid for this interview

      and what kind of 40 year old man has a faux hawk?

    6. Meek Mill made a song called “Tupac Back,” when his boss was the nigga who would be checking “Tupac’s Crack” before and after his visits at Clinton Correctional

      1. Cash Money was never on top? lmao!!1 Birdman stays in the top 5 of the power 30 for the last 6-10 years but Cash Money was never on top. Okay!!!

    7. ^^^^^^

      Meant to put a ???? on the end of that post to ask why some dudes come through with the off brand ish instead of just being normal.

      Khaled should know by now that if people don’t like you then they are gonna bash your music regardless which is why critics are bashing a song that the same critics are claiming Khaled didn’t create.

    8. Realtalk: Anyone that listens to this clown while his head’s WAY up his a$% needs to check themselves! #SinceYoullBuyAnythingSaid

    9. SO WHAT HE SAYING IS HIP HOP FANS ARE ALL IDIOTS AND ILL PUT OUT WHATEVER I WANT BECAUSE THE MUSIC ISNT WORTH SHIT AND THE FANS ARE STUPID AS FUCK ANYWAY THEY ARE ZOMBIES AND BELIEVE WHAT I SAY. DAMN U GUYS ARE DUMB.

      1. No he’s saying what he was just quoted in the article. It’s clear cut in front of you what he’s saying but you keep trying to make like he’s saying something different. Can you read? He said nothing about fans. so who’s the real dumb one? A person that can’t read direct quotes is dumb to me. Stop hating!!!!!!!!!!!

    10. Khaled was sent here by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to terrorize the music indsutry and bring pain to ears everywhere!

    11. You can’t compare that to yourself first off cause you’re a Dj/Producer (Top 40 Artist) = wackness. You don’t rap you just shout over the records & it’s annoying. You’re not on either of their caliber so don’t say you feel like them or have a sense that you’re like them because you just aren’t plain & simple. Sure you’ve made accomplishments but you won’t be able to make it up to their stature.

      1. You can’t tell somebody not to feel a certain way. Khaled not going to say you can’t feel what you just said in your comment because it’s just how you feel. Nothing wrong with feeling a certain way.

    12. how can they possibly think they know what Pac and Biggie felt like? shit when Pac was in his prime Officer Ricky was searching niggas butt cracks but now he feel like Pac????

      1. It’s not that serious!!!!!! You reaching to try and make a point. He just explained that he’s simply saluting them and you still can’t understand that? lol It’s just a song, it’s not that serious

      2. Meek Mill made a song called “Tupac Back,” when his boss was the nigga who would be checking “Tupacs Crack” before and after his visits at Dannemora/Clinton

      1. @BruthaDee trolling again,

        he thinks anyone who hates Khaled and Ross is a G-Unit groupie, truth is a lot of people dont fuck with DJ ARAB and Officer Ross

      2. @WeirdDude

        You allowed an anonymous post turn you into a paranoid schizophrenic? Is this your lame way to get more Twitter followers? Is that why you keep holding conversations with yourself?

    13. NUMBER FUCKIN #1,,,,BIGGIE AND PAC,,WHERE NOT THE GREATEST EVER,,,THEY WHERE THE BEST AT THERE TIME,,THATS A SLAP TO THE FACE OF OTHER GREAT ONE’S BEFORE AND AFTER,,,
      NUMBER FUCKIN #2 IF YOU ARE BOUT THAT LIFE YOU AINT GOT TO EXPLAIN SHIT,,LET YOUR MUSIC DO THE TALKING,,NUMBER FUCKIN#3,,,,,ITS A WHOLE DIFFERENT ERA,,,SO THE ENERGY IS NO WHERE NEAR THE ENERGY OF THAT ERA,,,,NUMBER FUCKIN #4,,THIS NIGGAS DID A FAKE ASS PUBLICITY STUNT,,TO GET PEOPLE TO NOTICE HIS WACK ASS SINGLE,,,,,BIG AND PAC NEVER DID THAT,,,,,
      NARCISSISM IS AT A ALL TIME HIGH IN THIS RAP SHIT AND NIGGAS IS REALLY SMELLING THEMSELVES,,,LET THE PEOPLE BIG YOU UP,,,,,PSSS! THESE NIGGA NOWADAYS

    14. my only critisism is that it SUCKED….you use there legendary status to promote and push a very lack luster record. No thought into it at all…

    15. Most people understand its a homage to pac and biggie. The only haters are those virgins dickriding 2 dead guys for over 15 years. Get laid and you’ll realize that Khaled’s song is the best.

    16. up to I looked at the paycheck that said $7674, I didnt believe that…my… best friend woz like they say actualie taking home money part time from their laptop.. there moms best frend had bean doing this for less than a year and as of now cleard the loans on their home and bought a great Mazda. official statement http://x.co/2duUq

    17. true they didnt say they WERE pac and biggie but they’re still using their names to profit and get people checking for a record no one would have gave a fuck about otherwise

    18. I’m glad he feels successful and has made his life better, I sure am nowhere near as successful as he is, but really, does this dude really think he’s at the top?? C’mon son, does anybody think hes one of the best producers out right now?. Maybe in a top 100 list he could have the 100th slot, MAYBE

      1. dont give the guy that much credit… he is nothing. He doesn’t write. He doesn’t rap. He doesn’t produce. All he does is slap his name on the album.

      2. You’re right, damn what was I thinking. After reconsidering I totally agree he is not a producer, and not much of anything else but Ross’s push button.

    19. HE MEANT I FEEL LIKE A SANDNIGGA..FUCK OUTTA HERE U FUCKBOY DJ THT NEVER DID SHIT AND ACTUALLY WAS AND HIS ANNOYING AS FUCK !!!!

    20. Godfather 50, aka King Of NY, aka “50 Wants 2 Feed His nicca##ss”

      Lets remind ourselves how Godfather 50 deals with cornballs.

      We had this retarded Canadian white boy on youtube hating on 50’s business moves,, our Godfather called his crib and spoke directly to the nerds mom

      After Our Godfather was done pimpin curly the mom, he spoke to the kid directly and told him he wanted the cornball to come over to NYC and meet him at the Gunit offices.

      The cornball came all the way from Canada and was escorted up to the top floor of the building where he met Godfather 50 and spoke with him for 1 hr about business and music.

      After 1hr the cornball lame nerd went from being 50cent hater to 50’s biggest fan

      Rule 1 – Don’t disrespect Godfather 50

      Rule 2 – Read Rule 1

      There aint no one realer than The Godfather, unlike Gayz who throws shots at civil rights leaders on songs but doesn’t have the heart to see them face to face like a real boss

      1. no need to bring up our godfather on khaled and ross articles. it makes godfather 50 and his fans looks lame!

      2. i googled that shit and oddly enough i came across an allhiphop dot come thread with @BruthaDee defending ross harder than any fanboy has ever done before!

      3. looks like that loser went on for like 100 pages or sumthing, 15000 posts!!! damn homie we’re dealing with a loser blog geek!

        yo it says he got banned for overt racism and trolling
