Fat Joe thinks DJ Khaled is at the top of his craft and wants Hip Hop fans to give him credit for his hard work over the years. During a new episode of Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, the Bronx rapper compared Khaled to the legendary Quincy Jones and broke down his opinion.
“People take away the greatness from Khaled and they say, ‘Well he just gets a bunch of big-time rappers and puts them on the same song,'” he said. “There’s a million DJs and producers that try that, and those ain’t hit records. And it’s been a long time since we heard Nas and JAY-Z on what to me sounds like a smash hit, like a SMASH hit, that can play on the radio, it’s streaming incredibly. So DJ Khaled really is the Quincy Jones of Hip Hop right now.”
Responding to hate in N.O.R.E.’s comments, Fat Joe wrote, “All these back seat drivers Monday morning quarterbacks always got an opinion but can’t do it themselves shit crazy to me the term Quincy jones of this time was used in reference to the work khaled has put in years and years of hit obviously there’s only one Quincy but fuck it tune in tonight EXPLOSIVE lol.”
Fat Joe went into more detail in an Instagram video when fans continued to disagree with his opinion on DJ Khaled.
“When I make reference to Khaled being the Quincy Jones of Hip Hop,” he began. “Now, there’s a million guys putting a bunch of rappers together… one million guys putting shit together. Every DJ, every guy you know, and they come together, big guys, and they’re not hits. This is my point – Khaled puts out No. 1 albums, No. 1 hits, the album is incredible for me. Give the man his credit.”
He added, “We deal with so much hate of people just, you know what I call them, Monday morning quarterbacks and backseat joggers. ‘I woulda did this, yo, I coulda did that’ – nah bro. I was there for the entire album.”

Best known for producing classic Michael Jackson albums such as Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad, 88-year-old Quincy Jones was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and has won a total of 28 Grammy Awards.
Fat Joe, I have to say this : “STFU!!! DJ KHALED” couldn’t produce a hair off his nutsack. He’s more like the Tony Yayo of Hip Hop except with absolutely no talent.
That statement is incredibly disrespectful to Quincy Jones’ career and impact.
The difference is that Quincy Jones was a real producer and musician who was part of records that changed music forever, and Khaled is a talentless bum who gets his famous friends to appear on lazy, forgettable compilation albums.
Joe has lost it, been teetering lately anyway, but just sounds downright STUPID. He should go away lol
DJ Khaled is the Quincy Jones of ice hokey. The Michael Jackson of childcare. The Big Pun of hula hoop. He the best. Who? He.
Khaled has made some hip-hop and R&B biggest Hits. Same dudes who hating on khaled ain’t doing nothing better.
Lol name one song that DJ Khaled actually physically produced musical not executive produced but actually got behind the boards and did something…. I’ll wait…… Nothing…. he’s a fat straight more annoying version of Diddy without the sodomy and the screwing over artist financially cause he’s too unmusically inclined to do it in the first place. (masters, publishing, rights)
Khaled is great but he ain’t no quincy. All yall who think khaled ain’t got no talent. All that hate deep down is jealousy cause you wish you had all that money & sucess. And name somebody who produce for him. I’ll wait. Cause khaled is the one who have them visions of who should be on it. Tell me that ain’t a real producer.
Calling out the truth now is hatin.
Joe needs to sit down and realise its only his opinion. And it’s wrong. That Nas and Jay track was bullshit. Khaleds albums wack from a Hip Hop perspective
Likening Khaled to Quincy Jones?!!! FOH! Khaled actually can DJ, and he makes hits, but in a lazy, ripoff kinda way. But no way in HELL you can liken him to a super talented legend like Q. If anyone is the Quincy of hip hop, it’s Dre.
Quincy Jones himself already said Dr Dre was
ITS OK, I BLAME THE BOOZE
This guy is getting more and more unbelievable. First claiming he did 4 songs with biggie. But no one has ever confirmed his bullshit. DJ Khaled has the talent to use other producers to make beats for him. Accept for collecting checks dj Khaled is just WACK
Sellout Joe and his painted on beard supporting one of the BIGGEST frauds in the industry with blatant disrespect to a TRUE legend, how is this clown still considered DITC????
