#TBT: DJ Khaled's 2007 smash "We Takin' Over."

Tomorrow, DJ Khaled will drop his eighth studio album I Changed A Lot. But judging from the tracklist, he hasn't changed much in his instinct to stack his albums with an almost comically thorough assemblage of the biggest names in hip hop and R&B.

This week we throw it back to one of Khaled's biggest hits ever, "We Takin' Over," which appeared on his 2007 album We The Best and features the murderer's row of Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Birdman, & a Lil Wayne at the height of his powers. The real MVP of "We Takin' Over," though, was probably Danja, who produced the record's absolutely electric beat and made it a staple of the dance floor for years to come.

Quotable Lyrics

I am the beast
Feed me rappers or feed me beats
I am untamed, I need a leash
I am insane, I need a shrink
I love brain, I need a leech
Why complain on easy streets?
I don't even talk, I let the Visa speak
and I like, my sprite easter pink

-Weezy
