A brief pre-game meeting at Madison Square Garden turned into a memorable moment for DJ Khaled and Timothée Chalamet.
Before Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Chalamet crossed paths with Khaled in an exclusive lounge area and shared his admiration for one of the producer’s most recognizable works. During the conversation, the actor told Khaled that the video for We Takin’ Over ranks as the No. 1 music video of all time.
Released in 2007, We Takin’ Over brought together a lineup that included Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Birdman and Lil Wayne. The track became one of Khaled’s breakthrough hits and helped establish his reputation for assembling major collaborations.
The song remains a notable entry in late-2000s hip-hop, while its video gained attention for showcasing several of rap’s biggest names in a single production. Chalamet’s praise added another chapter to the song’s legacy, highlighting its lasting impact nearly two decades after its release.
