DJ Khaled recently spoke on the popularity of his new "All I Do Is Win" remix and compared it to Diddy's hip-hop classic, "Flava In Ya Ear" remix which featured Craig Mack, Busta Rhymes and the late Notorious B.I.G.
Khaled credited the record's overall vibe and star-studded guest features as its strength.
"Call it Rick Ross/ DJ Khaled/ Supreme Team/ Puff Daddy takeover on a whole 'nother level," Khaled said in an interview. "You already know every Memorial Day weekend -- Miami is ours. We always on fire. This year was special because we shot the remix video of 'All I Do Is Win.' Everyone showed up, from Jada to Busta to Puff Daddy to Nicki Minaj to Fabolous to T-Pain to myself...I know it's hard to say these types of things, [but] there's only one remix video I know that's exciting like this, it's called 'Flava in Ya Ear,' " Khaled insisted, recalling Craig Mack's Hype Williams-directed black-and-white clip. "First of all, the ['All I Do Is Win'] record is the biggest record in the country. To shoot the remix video is something so amazing. It's coming out soon. I know there's photos all over the Net, but it's exciting."
Khaled recently defended his decision to rap on the remix.

Earlier this year, Khaled spoke on his placement in hip-hop.
"I'm like the LA Reid of hip-hop, the Berry Gordy of hip-hop," Khaled told radio personality Jenny Boom Boom. "I feel like I'm the executive right now that's in the streets and going to take it to the next level, that's the goal, you know what I'm saying? That's the next goal. At Def Jam, we're one big team, and I'm an executive at Def Jam, office in Miami, but I gotta come to New York, do big meetings...LA Reid is a boss -- those [firing reports] are rumors, that's not happening. He hired me, so I'm with LA Reid for life, man. Shout-outs to LA Reid, one of the best execs in the game and also he's a music guy, he's another Berry Gordy."
The hitmaker recently discussed how involved he is with artist development.
"DJ Khaled's involvement is everything in the record," Khaled said in an interview speaking of himself. "DJ Khaled comes up with the concept. DJ Khaled gets with the producer and is either me making it or somebody else making it with me orchestrating the situation. DJ Khaled is bringing the energy from the artist, to me, to the producer, then to the room. I am Berry Gordy of hip-hop."
