<p>Constructive criticism can help build a creative into one of the greats, but when it comes to <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a>, <a href="/profile/DJKhaled" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DJ Khaled</a> believes he&#8217;s working with perfection. The OVO icon has become one of the leading rappers in the world, and each new release, even those where he acts as a guest, climbs the charts and becomes social media movements that shift pop culture.</p>
<p>During his chat with Elliott Wilson and Brian &#8220;B.Dot&#8221; Miller for<em> Rap Radar,</em> Khaled explained why he doesn&#8217;t change <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-khaled-hints-at-multiple-drake-and-jay-z-features-on-god-did-news.156667.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">anything about a Drake track</a> because according to the megaproducer, &#8220;I like what Drake likes!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m the guy that speaks what people are scared to say,&#8221; said Khaled. &#8220;In the music game, I&#8217;ma tell you the truth, and I&#8217;m surprised that nobody sayin&#8217; it, &#8217;cause I&#8217;ma say it: when you work with Drake&#8230; Even when you blessed to work with Drake, if he sends you something, it&#8217;s unbelievable.&#8221; He emphasized the word &#8220;unbelievable&#8221; to suggest that whenever <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-khaled-brags-about-utilizing-jay-z-drake-lil-baby-and-future-collabs-against-naysayers-news.156467.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Drizzy sends his verse back</a>, it should be met with enthusiasm and praise, regardless what you may think.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s facts, don&#8217;t fight it,&#8221; Khaled continued. &#8220;The other day I was mixin&#8217;, &#8216;Yo, how you like the mix,&#8217; you know what I&#8217;m sayin&#8217;? Even if I wanted to turn the high-hat up, even if I thought this needed [something], I like what Drake like! Alright?! Even if this one part sounds—or I thought I could change&#8230;&#8217;Drake, you like that? I love it!'&#8221;</p>
<p>Khaled added that any rapper or singer who has the chance to work with Drake should <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-khaled-calls-drake-a-genius-ahead-of-staying-alive-release-news.155948.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">also see it as a blessing</a>. These remarks have sparked debates about some believing that this behavior simply feeds egos while others argue that when working with artists of a higher caliber, this should be how musicians operate.</p>
