00:59I think pop people are actually listening to rap more, yes.
01:10But, you know, I think the culture is just getting bigger.
01:16My whole career has always been about my fans.
01:19You know what I'm saying?
01:19And, you know, that's why I love this award show because it's about the fans, the fan love.
01:23And, you know, when I walked in here, you hear them, you see them, you feel them.
01:26And, you know, even on social media, they just, they root them for you.
01:30And that's what it's about.
01:31And that's what inspires me to keep going harder and harder in my career.
01:34So fan love, I love you so much worldwide.
01:38We always have to do better.
01:42We always have not, we have a lot of room to do better.
01:46Every day we're supposed to get better and greater and greater and learn and grow and grow and grow.
01:50Khaled first gained prominence as a radio host in the 1990s on the radio station 99 Jams
01:57and translated his popularity by working with Terror Squad as a DJ for their live performances.
02:07After gaining production credits on the group's material,
02:10Khaled released his debut studio album, Listen, the album in 2006, which earned gold certification.
02:20On paper, Khaled's career doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
02:28He's released eight full-length albums, but doesn't actually rap on any of them.
02:32However, he has played a serious role in the hip-hop industry throughout his career.
02:37He's possibly the most quoted figure in hip-hop, able to create viral catchphrases
02:49with an ease that marketing executives dream about.
02:53Another one is a catchphrase associated with DJ Khaled,
02:56who repeats the phrase several times in succession in all of his music.
03:00The more blessings you give, the more blessings you get back.
03:06And I'm very grateful.
