The song sounded larger-than-life, and Khaled gave it a video to match, a big-budget action movie caper story (the video opens with a voice announcing, "this just in: DJ Khaled is on the run… Khaled is wanted by an evil assailant group affiliated with censoring the powerful voice of the people, but the movement will not be stopped"). The result is that the song became a smash, and it was one of those songs, too, where the video only added to the mystique. As far as all-star rosters go, you couldn't have done any better balancing massive pop appeal and authentic street appeal than this one. There was Birdman, the superstar record impresario responsible for Lil Wayne, the newly minted best rapper alive, both of whom Khaled had known from his days as a record store clerk in New Orleans-in fact, Khaled had witnessed them meeting in Odyssey Records, according to the same Miami New Times article. Rick Ross, then something of an unknown outside of Miami, began to cement his legacy, announcing he was the "Biggie of my city." Fat Joe was Fat Joe, on the heels of his massive hit featuring Lil Wayne, "Make It Rain." Plus, he's the one who ended up on the speedboat with Khaled in the video, a coveted spot. It had Akon, the emergent king of pop radio, whose hits "Smack That," "I Wanna Love You," and "Don't Matter" were burning up the charts all of 20.

at his absolute height as King of the South for the opening verse.

"Basically, between me and Khaled, we pulled every favor in the book," director Gil Green told the Miami New Times last year, in reference to the "We Takin' Over" video. "We Takin' Over" laid the blueprint for the DJ Khaled megahit, from the roster of guests to the literal world-conquering hook to the big budget video set up to look like an action movie of the highest order.

And the reason anyone cares about that is the number one ranked item on our list, "We Takin' Over," the best of Khaled's all-star anthems, the one that proved his undeniable power and set forth the following decade of successes. But the reason anyone cares about it is because of DJ Khaled's biggest undeniable hit, "All I Do Is Win," a song that is and will forever be played at every sporting event in America until the end of time. There is, of course, DJ Khaled the persona, the modern Snapchat maven and cocoa butter enthusiast, beloved by all for his good-natured bluster as rap's over-the-top ambassador to the wider world. In the scheme of "Why Should I Care About DJ Khaled," the rankings are fairly clear. After all, that's part of what makes this Wayne's best feature: He's batting cleanup after an all-star lineup, delivering the punctuation that turns a great posse cut into an iconic one.

And that's not even the most famous line in the verse.īut first let's back up and set the scene, just as it is set for Wayne's verse to arrive. And it was rapped so simply, so matter-of-factly, just perfectly and precisely on beat. Something about that metaphor-so outlandish yet so, pardon the pun, pedestrian-communicated everything great about Wayne's mind, the way that it worked in virtuosic ways the rest of us could never approach. So, today, let's discuss the best Lil Wayne guest verse of all time, his closing verse on DJ Khaled's 2007 opus "We Takin' Over." There are a few Wayne lines that seared themselves into my brain forever the first time I heard them, that instantly confirmed my suspicions that Lil Wayne was the best rapper alive, and "I stay on track like a box of Pumas" might be the most important of all of them. But now I'm nearing the halfway point of the year, and I've barely made any such claims at all. When I started the Year of Lil Wayne, I promised that I would make repeated claims about the best Lil Wayne song. Akon, T.I., Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, and Birdman – DJ Khaled, We The Best, 2007
