Def Jam South President DJ Khaled has revealed an interest to work with Grammy-winning singers Alicia Keys and Beyonce in the near future.
Imagining them on his past hits, Khaled also said he would love an opportunity to record with Eminem.
“If I had a chance to work with Beyonce or Alicia Keys, I would want to take them into my world. Imagine Alicia Keys singing ‘We Takin’ Over.’ You know, Khaled, I make anthems. So if I ain’t have Akon on ‘We Takin’ Over,’ imagine her singing [the hook]. Imagine Alicia Keys singing ‘Out Here Grinding.’ And the same thing for Beyonce. And I want to work with Eminem…I want to work with Dr. Dre. I want to actually get in the studio and make a beat with him and put him on a hook.” (VIBE)
Roc Nation’s J. Cole recently said he wanted to produce tracks for Jay-Z‘s wife.
“I’m such a fan and have been a fan. Jay, I gotta get something on Jay one of these days. Beyonce, one of these days, but that’s like further down the road, you know you gotta be on a higher level to mess with Beyonce.” (BET Music Matters)
Last month, Khaled compared his “All I Do Is Win” remix to the Craig Mack‘s “Flava In Ya Ear.”
“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.” (MTV)
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 NewYork, 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.” (“Jenny Boom Boom TV”)

Man I like lil wyte but Buck did it to himself. He was talking reckless without reading the fine lines of his contract. Better read and understand before signing..that’s where these thirsty rappers be getting got at.
Buck used to be real. Matter of fact he is the total opposite of everything he used to claim.
Dissing Baby and Wayne for kissing but willing to sign with YMCMB now is NOT real!
Begging Game to talk to Dre about his situation is NOT real!
