Lil Jon vs DJ Khaled

[T. Sanford]

Lil Jon was running the A when this came out

 

[manofmorehouse]

If u were in atl in the late 90s/early 2000s, u knew that a nigga was about to get stomped if Bia Bia, Throw yo hood up, or What U gone Do came on. This ain't even a real poll question. Lil Jon all day bruh

 

[The Lonious Monk]

lol Where the younger cats? All the Drake and Rick Ross and Wayne songs Khaled done put out, I would think the fanboys would be going to bat for Khaled.

 

[T. Sanford]

Lil Jon crank them clubs up in Atlanta along with other acts in the movement. @Stew I already painted an vivid picture how the nightlife in Buckhead was before the Ray Lewis trial & I believe it because my sister was an Atlanta vacationing junkie lol. Around Lil Jon era, niggas in Chatt used to go to Atlanta & club like Atlanta was a new place that they just built.

 

[DarthRozay]

there was a couple years there when all you needed for a hit was a lil jon beat. just the beat, not even hooks, ab-libs, etc.

Lol yea man, I wish I had pics but niggas barely had cell phones let alone phones with cameras on them. Shit was just wild. I ran across a few articles a couple weeks ago, it gives a little run down of the "party village" that was once Buckhead.

C'mon brah

My exact thoughts.

They both got club bangers/seasonal anthems I fuck wit. Lil Jon had it from the early 2000's to 06/07 and Khaled has had it since.

lol I don't understand. You saying "c'mon brah" as if it's not a valid question. You admit they both have had success and made good music in their eras. Which one has done it better?

My "c'mon bruh" is more about me not being able to chose one or the another, more than it not being a valid comparison.

Gotcha.

Not even that, it's an unfair comparison.

Actually, it's quite disrespectful to compare the two

lol What? Explain that bruh.

You have the wrong idea that they do the same thing. They don't at all...

Only one of these artists actually have a Legacy, and it's not Khaled

You taking it too deep. @"Revolver Ocelot" put it well. They both put out big time club bangers/seasonal hits, and were the best at doing that consistently in their eras. Their music isn't the same obviously, but they approach they take is similar.

Lmao but it isn't.

Lil Jon actually produced his Tracks, Lil Jon actually rapped verses and hooks on his Tracks, Lil Jon spearheaded an Entire Sub-genre of Hip Hop and gave other artists the opportunity to come out of that Genre. Lil Jon has a Legacy spanning from the early 90s helping produce Classics with So So Def.

Lil Jon broke new Artists, produced their entire albums, and made them stars for their own period of time. DJ Khaled grabs the same guys who's hot and recycles them over and over. (Please dont mention Ace Hood, he doesn't show him any kind of attention...nor Kent Jones and his other Artists.)

Lil Jon makes Albums that are Cohesive because He PRODUCED the Entire shit lol

Can we say any of this about DJ Khaled.?

Dj Khaled essentially makes Compilations.

At Best, Dj Khaled is an Executive Producer.

Again, you're talking about something I'm not talking about. Nowhere did I say that Khaled had anything to do with the actual crafting of the music. I'm not talking about that. I basically talking about the movements he's created. The dude has built relationships with a variety of artists, has promoted himself and his brand, and is consistently responsible for putting out some of the biggest commercial hits of the year. I'm comparing his reign of doing that to Lil Jon's reign of doing the same, nothing more and nothing less.

Again, if you want to say Lil Jon is the better artist and that alone makes him your pick, that's fine, but stop acting like I'm giving Khaled credit that I'm not.

Brah, ion know what world you're living in...but Khaled hasn't had a Movement at All.

CRUNK was a Movement. Lil Jon made the entire industry get on HIS wave. Jon had Jadakiss, Styles P, Nas, Too Short, E-40 and Ice Cube and more on some Dirty South shit

...THATS a Movement. Gettin niggas asses whooped at functions for many years.? THATS a Movement. Khaled hasn't done anything like that. I'm not even sure Khaled has a Classic song on his resume yet. Lil Jon has a gang of classics.

Again, you can't compare these guys at all. Idc how many hits they both made in their prime.

A lot of people has put out numerous hits over the years, but you chose Khaled for a Reason.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

WHATTTTTT!

Lil Jon gave Usher his biggest hit.

His run/peak was higher than DjK

But in your reason, you could easily swap dj Khaled with anybody who's had a Hot couple years man. I just wanted to know why Dj Khaled in particular .?

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Khaled got some shit and he is a producer like it or not, but lil Jon produce in guidance and getting his hands on them MPC's, he got classics

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Wtf my dumb ass gon make a mistake and vote Khaled smfh

 

[TonyDubbz]

Easy

 

[DarthRozay]

you should've at least has dj khaled vs people like dj clue, kay slay, drama, etc.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

No I can't because not everyone who has had hits essentially does so via albums that play more like musical compendiums. If this was the 90s and you had a bunch of people like Clue and Flex doing that, you might have a point, but it's not. Over the past 2 decades the only people who have really made a killing doing that is Jon and Khaled. I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand.

And I'm surprised people acting like I'm saying some crazy shit. I remember having to argue with people on this site about Jon's merit as an artists. Let some of the IC folk tell it, he was trash that deserve any shine.

Put up Khaled's 10 biggest hits and see if they sold more or even have the staying power and longevity of Lil jon's hits

Well I'm not a Khaled fan so I'm not sure what his fans consider his best songs, but here's a list from billboard:
http://www.billboard.com/artist/299939/dj-khaled/chart

Here's one for Lil Jon
http://www.billboard.com/artist/307236/lil-jon/chart

If you go by this, Khaled kills Jon.
