DJ Khaled released the track listing for his upcoming album “Suffering From Success” yesterday, revealing a star-studded lineup, and now Khaled is ready to showcase that talent to the world. In an attempt to summon the greatness of two rap legends, Khaled gets Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and T.I. together on the record “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie.”

According to rap-up.com:

“DJ Khaled celebrates greatness on his star-studded anthem “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie.” The Miami DJ enlists Rick Ross, T.I., Meek Mill, Swizz Beatz, and Puff Daddy for the Beat Bully-produced cut from his upcoming album Suffering From Success.

“How you gonna compare yourself to greatness if you ain’t ready to be great, man?” asks Diddy on the motivational record.”

“I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie” sounds like another club anthem in the making, but it doesn’t come without some controversy. Minutes after the song was released, rapper Ma$e took to social media to voice his disdain for the record.

As reported by complex.com:

“Seems like the goodwill between Diddy and Ma$e that we saw at this year’s OVO Fest was short-lived. Moments after the release of DJ Khaled’s new single “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie,” Ma$e took to Instagram to give Diddy, and everyone on the new song a piece of his mind”

This comes as a bit of a surprise as Ma$e and Diddy were just seen performing together at Drake’s OVO Fest, and the two seemed to have put all difference s behind them. But clearly Ma$e doesn’t feel so.

DJ Khaled’s Suffering For Success will be released on Oct. 22. Check out “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie” below.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
