You are right and that was not what I was referring to in the comment you quoted — I was just adding some context to the use of drops he's known for (over)using in his production style. "Artist in residence" is a poor term for them to use for this as they really won't be able to let a musical artist create for Apple music, it will most likely land them in hot water with other Labels they have partnered with as they are only supposed to distribute and not compete with them.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Music and DJ Khaled jumping the shark together.

You should watch the video where he says he won't go down on women because he's the king and they're not.
Awesome move! Perfect job for him. I like his stuff. One of the few worth listening too in the whole genre.
Thanks for the knowledgeable post, I figured out of 30 comments there would be at least one worth reading.

It just keeps getting more difficult to an Apple fan these days.
The current 13-21 demographic is cheering.
Everything they do with Apple Music seems like old people trying to be hip.
Fix the recommendations in For You playlists.
There are literally 2 songs a week on that playlist I might actually consider listening to, the rest is just random garbage.
You'd think with all the AI and whatnot I'd get some good music on my For You more often than every few months when some underpaid schmuck pretending to be an algorithm gets to choose some reasonable tunes for me. (Referencing the way Google Assistant relies on humans to do the Duplex reservations when AI isn't enough)

Apple Music has invited DJ Khaled to be its first "Artist-in-Residence," Khaled announced today on his Instagram account (via Billboard).
Khaled says that as Artist-in-Residence, he will be taking over "the biggest playlists on the platform" every month while also debuting new artists.
Khaled called on record labels and artists to "hit him up" to collaborate, and he announced his first takeover playlist: Office DJ. Next month, Khaled says that he plans to debut a "Gymflow playlist vibe."

Yikes another reason not to subscribe to Apple Music. Who really like this guys music? He’s barely an artist, buys his beats, and just yells his name? Pretty laughable that Apple backs this guy as some triple A artist
I’m trying to figure out how he became famous. I read somewhere he’s mostly famous for being a fat, funny person on Instagram. I mean, there’s the music, but I also hear he’s funny on Instagram. He’s clearly very fat.
This helps explain why I wouldn't use Apple Music even if they let me try it for free. Which they did.
Great way for Apple to stick a finger in Kanye and Jay-Z's eyes. LOL. Those two have been begging for Apple attention since the TIDAL-hoping-for-Apple-buyout days. 
I guess no one still remembers that public Tweet when Kanye begged Apple to give him a few billion dollars cuz he was "broke".

So name dropping during sets is his thing, right? Isn’t that more or less the equivalent of those nasty graffiti name tags that vandals end up spraying all over urban architecture? Or in the animal kingdom, urinating on someone else’s property to mark your territory.
Another great hire by Tim.
