Bow Wow (Feat. Sean Kingston) - Put That On My Hood

Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Cool & Dre Welcome LeBron James To Miami Heat

Miami's Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Cool & Dre have shared their reactions to former Cleveland Cavaliers all-star LeBron James announcing his move to the Heat.

Writing via Twitter, Ross also revealed his surprise.

"Woooooowwwwww," he wrote last night.

"Lebron coming too the release party!!!king of diamonds!!!july20"

"Miami the spotlight of the world!!!!"

"Courtside seats went up 30stacks in 30mins!!!!!got 5 anyway!!!!"

Khaled reminded fans of his loyalty to his hometown team.

"RT @COOLANDDRE: after 9pm 2nite, will we see a 6 foot 9 point guard passing the rock to Bosh and Wade..."

"MIAMI HEAT!!!! WE THE BEST!! All WE do is win!!"

Production duo Cool & Dre said they predicted James' destination would be with the Heat.

"can i get some props for predicting Bron coming to Miami for the past couple months. i dnt wanna start going back to my old tweets."

"u know what i'ma do, i think i'm gonna retweet some of your old replies...there were some that was airing me out saying i was krazy."

"@dwadeofficial My bro been ridin with u for 7 years str8. seen alot of ups & downs. From Finals MVP to 16 win season. No1 deserves this more."

LeBron James' made his long-awaited decision to join the Heat last night.

In the here and now, LeBron James probably did the best thing for himself. By joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami to form an NBA superpower squad, James, who announced Thursday night that he was bolting Cleveland via free agency, will more than likely win a championship -- or two or three -- sooner rather than later. And ultimately, that's what James so desperately wants after seven "failed" seasons with the Cavaliers.

DJ Khaled Compares "All I Do Is Win" To Diddy's "Flava In Ya Ear" Remix

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.

"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."

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."

Jacki-O Calls Out DJ Khaled, "You Get In [Def Jam's] Office & Flip The Script, That's Crazy!"

Southern rapper Jacki-O recently detailed her issues with DJ Khaled and said he has failed to represent their hometown Miami, Florida to the fullest.

According to Jacki-O, Khaled won't play or promote certain records.

"I have issues when it comes to DJs that take up space in my city that... you have a job playing records on the airwaves, and yet you playing the same artists over and over and over again? I have no beef with the artists that he's playing, and with all due respect to them and their craft, I would love for them to get airplay, but what about the [other] people that's in the city? If you reppin' this city, then rep the city! Don't hold beefs or grudges with people just because you're friends with my ex-label-mates...that's crazy! If you hear a record that's poppin' in the streets and it's poppin' in the clubs--play it on the station! I have a problem when the DJ feel like he more powerful than the artist and I think that's the stance that he takes when it come to this music and it's just ridiculous, so I do have a problem with him. It's not just me, but a lot of people do. Maybe they think it and don't say it but I choose to say it because I feel like it's an injustice and it's not right and it's not fair, so I'm callin' [Khaled] out on it... On air, he not even sayin' the hoods right, he saying the hoods wrong! His syllables is wrong when he shoutin' out the cities, and the hoods...it's crazy [you can tell that] he not from Miami... We accepted you in our city and you were chosen to rep our city and then you get in office and you flip the script, that's crazy!"

Last month, Jacki informed SOHH about her initial problems with Khaled.

"I don't hold grudges nor do I have 'beef' with anyone, although I am not a sucker," she wrote in a statement. "I understand it's all a part of the game. I don't entertain beef because it takes you off the focus of your craft. If people want to see us do a record, let's do it and if you still feel some type of way -- fine, do what you do. At the end of the day it's about giving the people what they want and making good music and money, anything else is irrelevant to me."

Recently, Jacki reportedly made controversial remarks about Khaled.

"DJs make up 50 percent of an artist's success," she said in an interview. "And they know that. I'm not saying all of them, but a lot of DJ's are starting to be more arrogant than artists, and bold with it. Your job is to play music and support what the people like. It's not about what you like; it's about what the people like. One DJ in particular is this Khaled dude. He's gotten so beside himself and decided he's not gonna touch another one of my records. And that's cool because when the streets deal with you, I'm good."

The rapper also recently denied rumors of being taken off Ludacris' Battle of the Sexes album.

"It would have been nice to work with fellow female rappers being that we don't collaborate that much together," she told SOHH, "but I was never invited to be a part of the Battle of the Sexes album. There was no kicking me off the album because I was never invited..."

While he does not see rapping as a new avenue, Khaled said he would use Rick Ross as a ghost writer.

"I love music, [Ross] is definitely gonna be a ghost writer for me," Khaled told DJ Envy in an interview. "I ain't hiding it...Everybody said 'Khaled you need to spit something one day,' so I said you know what, it's only right that I do it on the 'All I Do Is Win' remix and I waited four albums to do it. I'm not a rapper, I'm having fun. You will hear a few verses once in a blue moon, just doing my thing. Shout-out to Swizz Beatz, my brother had took it to another level. Shout-out Puff Daddy, I'm just doing what I do. I love music."

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.

Recently, Fat Joe opened up about Khaled's success as of late.

"We passed him the baton and let him go," Crack said about Khaled. "What we do is try to help our brothers grow. He took it from there and he's got the 'We The Best' thing and he's doing his thing. I'm proud of him and we want him to do well. It's just, you know, that's how it is man. There are people who do things and there's a lot of people givien out opportunities. Some people take it and go all the way with it and try to create history and some people are passive and don't wanna work as hard and they take the same opportunities and sit on they a** and don't do it. Khaled was the go-getter, he went up there and did what he had to do."

Fat Joe On DJ Khaled's Success, "We Passed Him The Baton & Let Him Go" [Video]

Fat Joe recently talked about his current relationship with long-time associate DJ Khaled and applauded the Def Jam South president for taking advantage of the opportunities presented to him.

Joe said he helped put Khaled in the rap game.

"We passed him the baton and let him go," Crack said about Khaled. "What we do is try to help our brothers grow. He took it from there and he's got the 'We The Best' thing and he's doing his thing. I'm proud of him and we want him to do well. It's just, you know, that's how it is man. There are people who do things and there's a lot of people givien out opportunities.

Khaled was the go-getter, he went up there and did what he had to do."

Last year, Joe talked about Khaled becoming Def Jam South president.

"No one has ever seen an executive like DJ Khaled," Joe said in an interview. "Everybody in the music business who's an executive has been polished for the job. Khaled comes with the energy that hasn't been seen in this game, ever, from the day that f*cking Lyor Cohen and Russell Simmons opened Def Jam! He's going to put out nothing but hits. And I expect him to be one of the biggest executives in a couple of years, the hip-hop game has ever seen. I guarantee he's going to be an executive of a lifetime. Remember I told you."
Khaled previously said maintaining a relationship with Island Def Jam executive L.A. Reid helped secure his spot.

"This is what I've always wanted to do, is be an executive and take it to another level," Khaled said in an interview. "L.A. [Reid] just hit me one day. He was like, 'We should bring Khaled onboard. He makes hits, he has relationships.' I got a team of producers and we go in hard. My job is to bring hits to the table and work with new artists and work with established artists. I'm bringing new energy to the game and to the building."
Earlier this year, Khaled spoke on his place in rap history.

"I'm like the L.A. 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.
