Bosses own. Apr 07, Simpiwe Balfour rated it really liked it. This is a page turner. I couldn't put it down once I started. Most books normally take a week, this was done in two days. Most of the stuff he talks about I twined with his personal experiences are very vivid to the point where you can see the "Lions.
It's not your typical rapper story, where he went from rags to riches. His parents payed a good foundation and he just continue This is a page turner.
His parents payed a good foundation and he just continued and make his own mark on the world. The Keys is sensational! DJ Khaled delivers the fundamentals of being, becoming and living in a clear and simple way. The "keys" aren't anything new but rather reinforces what's elementary; "secure the bag", "don't ever play yourself", "stay away from "they", "special cloth", "win, win, win, no matter what", "we the best", etc.
This book oozes with sincerity because the author is genuinely sincere in spreading and living in peace, love and harmony. Truly worthy of 5 stars! Feb 13, Jenny rated it really liked it. I just had to see what kind of advice DJ Khaled had to give. And you know what?
It wasn't bad at all. Matter fact as Khaled would say , I found a lot of it down right inspiring. And now I'll never drive my jet ski in the dark. This book was surprisingly terrific. Yes, you can basically hear Khaled in your head as you are reading this, but the book offers a lot of great life advice. I know I will find myself coming back to this at least once a year because it is so incredibly motivating.
Jan 01, Felix Ledesma rated it it was amazing. The structure of this book is great! I enjoyed how he added the perspectives of his peers about his career. Amongst other things I enjoyed it was a very creative book. His come up is told in great detail with great imagery.
Feb 08, Lindsey rated it really liked it. I am Fan Luv despite knowing next to nothing about Khaled. This book told me all I need to know, extremely inspiring and gifted from his big influential heart. He knows The Secret and like all other masters, knows that sharing it adds to blessings, never detracts.
Feb 17, Harry Blase rated it it was amazing. This is the best book I ever read. May 17, Kendy rated it did not like it. I could not take this seriously. I was a third in and skimmed the rest. Dec 15, Tim O'Hearn rated it it was ok.
I also liked the page because, at that time, I had no idea what DJ Khaled actually did. The Keys is DJ Khaled's answer to that question that ends up spawning a host of deeper inquiries. Such as--would high school dropout have even attempted to use the semicolons that appear in this book's pages?
And, more importan "What does DJ Khaled actually do? And, more importantly, where do I stand on DJ Khaled's philosophies, talent, and celebrity? After achieving mega-fame following a string of funny Snapchats and having his first child, the enthusiastic, somewhat obnoxious DJ Khaled adopted a significantly more wholesome image.
It's about positivity, being substance-free, and working hard, and it's what comprises the majority of this book. I like it! Yesterday, I read in the Wall Street Journal that he is selling his old house in Miami, having upgraded to a larger one. Today, he was mentioned in one of the top comments in a Reddit thread about "worst live performances of all time. Many commentators referenced Khaled's appearance on the season finale of Hot Ones where he is a buffoon.
Beyond the buffoonery, I found it interesting to observe how quickly his "positivity" facade fell apart as soon as he was challenged by the host. It's easy to preach a gospel when your public image consists entirely of you being the only one speaking into a microphone. This guy really made a fool of himself on what is a lighthearted show where people eat spicy chicken wings.
The interview also revealed that, in addition to lacking emotional intelligence, DJ Khaled really isn't that smart. He claims to be a mogul, strictly speaking is a mogul, but I can't get over my suspicion that he didn't write this book.
The book charts DJ Khaled's career. He started as a DJ and, over time, became a phenomenal DJ, according to him. I respect that hustle. I find it odd, though, that whenever people criticize his live performances, they talk about how horrible he is at basic turntabling.
Why wouldn't he still demonstrate this skillset? Did he forget? Am I misunderstanding something? Further, there has been a continual debate as to what it means for DJ Khaled to be a "producer. In the book, he never mentions making beats. It's easy to verify that he hasn't made the beat for any of his hit songs, but did the guy ever make beats at all? He's admitted that he doesn't rap because he's not a good rapper. Okay, that's pretty easy to glean. I think he allows the myth of him making beats to survive because there's really no downside to it.
There is some genuinely cool stuff in the book. Khaled claims to have witnessed Birdman meeting Lil Wayne for the first time while working at a record store in New Orleans. Khaled claims that he turns up the temperature in his hot tubs as high as it will go because "they" don't want you to have a hot tub.
DJ Khaled loved the Rick Ross breakout Hustlin' so much that he played it on repeat for long enough to get suspended from the radio station he worked at. He claims that you've got to think future to be future, just ask his friend future. Great line. DJ Khaled has made a career out of orchestrating incredible hit songs. This was made possible because he's an enthusiastic, relentless dude and he foresaw the rise of the Miami rap scene. I just find it hard to like him. The book left me with too many unanswered questions.
I picked this up randomly on the way out of the book store, bf said he wanted it, and so I started flipping through it on our way out.
I was actually intrigued by one of the first lines I saw when I flipped the book open so I ended up being the one to actually read it. I never really followed DJ Khaled, just heard about his infamous Snapchats from said bf, but overall I enjoyed his story.

This book will probably be one the most read pieces of literature in the entertainment industry. My favorite part of the book is when Khaled recounts his rise to the top, staying true to his vision every step of the way.
However, what he does do is more important. It takes dedicat This book will probably be one the most read pieces of literature in the entertainment industry. It takes dedication, blood, sweat, tears, and some serious hardship. Never surrender. I may have been up and down over the years but each time the stakes got higher and I made sure to gain a little more ground with each win.
He doesn't really talk about a system or a method or the best ways to do things. He talks about The Keys, some principles that he sticks to that has enabled him to achieve tremendous success. Major Key: Win, win, win, no matter what. One of the things that really resonated with me is that he talks about succeeding in the music industry without having to be a gangster or having to act like one. He talks about being yourself and being genuine as the key to connecting with all types of people.
When you are true to yourself, then you go out and ask other people to help contribute to your success. View more at: www. Jan 17, Malikah rated it really liked it. The Keys is pretty great. When Khaled makes a point, he makes it! It isn't five star because it could be a written a little better, but then I am reminded that a writer chooses a style their audience would appreciate.
He addresses the "Young World" multiple times throughout the text which should prompt the reader to realize this probably was not written for the adults and English majors. It is not "canonical," and it will probably not ever be considered one of the "greats," so when you accept th The Keys is pretty great. It is not "canonical," and it will probably not ever be considered one of the "greats," so when you accept that, you learn to appreciate it for what it is - a book of mogul's core philosophies, a mogul who is successful, regardless of the lack of an degree and a privileged life.
He makes great points throughout this book. Many of us follow these "Keys," but we just call them something different. The "Young World" may not be familiar with these ideas, so they will definitely benefit from the anecdotes and philosophies the book shares. I took one star away because of the use of profanity. He uses it at times, not a lot. Still, I do not support the use of profanity while addressing the youth. Also, when considering the young audience, why not offer the book in paper copy?
The hardback option is too expensive. Don't be a "They. Nov 15, Derek Babb rated it really liked it. I thought the book was very good only for a particular type of person.
The book is really only for people who would like to be in a career being creative and selling your creativity, for example an artist, entrepreneur, music producer, or a director. This book will be very inspiring if you are thinking or in one of these careers. I really enjoyed the book because i'm thinking about being an entrepreneur, and his keys inspired me to be myself and to work hard.
This book is written more as an tips I thought the book was very good only for a particular type of person. This book is written more as an tips to success than a biography of Dj Khaled. In the book he talks about all the ways he has become successful and the things he wished he knew before making it big. In the book he also talks about stories from his past and lessons he learned on the journey to success.
The message of this book is definitely to be yourself and use your creative energy to build something unique and special to you, and build this thing as your career. In the book you will learn all the ways to be successful, and you will be inspired to work hard at what ever career you would like to do in the future.

Listened to a few other newer songs. Not bad. Anyways I found myself liking this book and his tidbits and personal stories.
Right now I'm trying to read a lot of books f I actually didn't really know who he was. Right now I'm trying to read a lot of books for self growth and about things I know nothing about. And I can say I really knew nothing.. He talks about God, he talks about energy and vibes and I really connected to those parts. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm very happy for his success. It seems that his hard work has helped him a million times over.
Good for him. I like a success story. I didn't know djkhaled had written a book so when I seen it in the bookstore, I had to buy it. In this book DJ Khaled gives his advice on what it takes to become a success. Khaled also shares some entertaining stories about his life. Including the legendary story of him being lost at sea on his jet ski while using his cell phone and Snapchat as his guide Another interesting aspect of the book is that it also contains perspect I didn't know djkhaled had written a book so when I seen it in the bookstore, I had to buy it.
Another interesting aspect of the book is that it also contains perspectives from other people. So, if you are looking for an entertaining book of motivation, this is the book for you. May 11, pdbkwm rated it really liked it. Despite being a millennial, I don't use Snapchat.
Apparently it's a big thing, especially because DJ Khaled is there dropping words of wisdom in the form of keys. I only know him from his music, but I was excited to read this once I saw an interview with him.
I won't lie and say the book is the best self help book out there. It's not. But it's funny, inspiring and DJ Khaled's voice comes through really well. You can tell just how much he wants everyone to succeed in whatever they do. The Keys is Despite being a millennial, I don't use Snapchat. The Keys is really all about positivity and hard work. I don't think I'll be checking out Snapchat anytime soon, but I'm glad I picked this one up.
I really enjoyed it. May 17, Mark rated it liked it. Being real when other people are fake is what sets you apart. And when you make a mistake, learn from it. Foresee the consequences so you can sidestep the setbacks. Know where it is at all times. Have enough of it on hand to jump on opportunities that come your way. Sometimes it means hitting pause on your dreams. Early on, DJ Khaled took a year off, moved in with his parents, and worked as a busboy to save up so he could make a real run towards his vision.
Complaints are just excuses. Keep your eyes open. Ask questions. Learn the game. Some obstacles take time, but once you overcome them, they pay out big time. Become familiar with the legends of your industry.
And respect the up-and-comers. Keep your word. Be trustworthy. Stay loyal. Sometimes, this means passing on money. Spread positivity and gratitude and come together with those around you. Care about your career. Do as much as you can every day to advance it.
Secure multiple bags. Let winning be the ultimate high. Risk it all and bet on yourself. Because nobody else will. So enjoy the moment. Celebrate a little.
