Soooo funny thing is, you're reading this book and all of a sudden... DJ Khaled is narrating the book for you in your head. "WE DA BEST".... lol.... it's a sort of enthusiastic "self help" , play by play type of narrative book. He talks about his life coming up as a light skinned 1st generation Palestinian American born in Louisianna grew up in Florida and wanting to be one of the best DJ's in his city. Which he successfully is now. He prides himself in being of Islamic faith background. When times got tough, he worked odd jobs and eventually worked his way up to become a prominent radio DJ in Miami, Fla., and producer of albums by Fabolous, Terror Squad and Fat Joe. Great quick read. Very motivating and funny at the same time. If you're familiar with his voice, and his antics... the book will be more entertaining. The only bad thing about the stories and narrative is that they're kind of repetitive. There are some gems in there though that you could apply to your self help journey in this life.

Wow! What an amazing book. DJ Khaled surprised me with this one. I wasnt expecting all of the incredible knowledge and amazing KEYS that he provided. He’s truly influential and someone that many people can/should look up to. He’s humble, confident, determined and most importantly, his faith in God keeps him going strong. The best part about this book is that he WANTS to share all of this advice and his life experiences to help others succeed like he has. Other celebrities always talk about how amazing of a person Khaled truly is. He has alot of small excerpts from other celebrities throughout the book genuinely praising Khaled. I will definitely keep coming back to this book whenever im down for more motivation. This book is the hustler’s Blueprint!

Brought it for my brother and he loved it.I had a chance to read it and it's not anything that you haven't heard before in any other self help book, but with a twist of DJ Khaled and his life.

Genuine, authentic, sincere, humble autobiography. I connected to this book. A lot of things here with his family and what happened is so devastating. I can relate to this book because I had so many friends and even myself have so many devastating things happen in life. So it's interesting to read about them and relate to someone who went through the same things and read about the same feelings I felt when I was a chasing a dream and getting some amazing advice from DJ Khaled as if he was the older, wiser, brother you have been missing in your life to help guide you. I have been there and reached a point when you have nothing, lose everyone, but you decide to invest your last everything in the dream that matters to you the most, because you envisioned that "We the best." and it after all the hell you go through, you learn the wisdom on how to sail this yacht called life through any storm.

A true inspiration if our time, the keys DJ Khaled outlines in this book will forever inspire and influence man. I aspire one day to write my memoir or keys to the level the author does here.

It’s a breezy read! My favorite major key was keep two rooms cooking, always!When getting advice from people you usually want to hear from someone you like. Someone who can relate. DJ Khaled really talks in a way that makes me feel more welcome in the world of more success. I come from city side streets, I’m still here, and weaving through the messes all around takes a great mind. Getting ahead takes a great heart. And this book’ll show anyone the path to more success is a great adventure. Make the best of it! And you’ll get the best of it! MAJOR KEY ALRRT!!

It made me happy

Absolutely LOVE this. It's funny and written in a colloquial manner, but delivers some proper life wisdom. DJ Khaled shares his journey, his struggles, and glorifies his success honestly and openly, and wants everyone to win and learn from his experience. It's one of those books you can open at a random page and get a nugget of wisdom. Especially great when you're feeling low or trying to get past a difficult time in your life. It is uplifting and lighthearted. The print quality is excellent, and the title on the cover comes in embossed letters. Highly recommended.

I'm not sure if it is because I followed DJ Khaled before this book, but now the way this book is written feels like he is talking to you. Not only that but he is now there encouraging me through life. Literally the image of him in grained in my mind saying "we the best, and another one, let's win some more" etc get this book!

They wouldn't want me to write a postitive review, so I did. Great book, great artist, would reccomend if you want a quick read.

This book is so inspirational. It got me thinking of my way of life and how i view things. I would deffo recommend this to someone who is trying to turn their life around

Can’t knock the book it’s a really good read but the condition the book was sent in is ridiculous
