After gaining production credits on the group's material,[4] Khaled released his debut studio album Listennn... the Album in 2006, which earned gold certification. He followed it with We the Best (2007), which contained the top 20 single "I'm So Hood".

This foresaw the release of his ninth studio album Major Key (2016), which gained critical and commercial success; it debuted at number one the Billboard 200, was certified gold, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.
He released his tenth studio album, Grateful, in 2017, which contained the singles "I'm the One" and "Wild Thoughts", which charted at number one and number two on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.

PROBLEM
DJ Khaled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
We the motherfuckin' best
You haters can't stop me, I'm a franchise
You're now rockin' with the best, put your hands high
Do it, do it, I'ma fuckin' do it (do it)
These niggas try to hold me back, I swear I've been through it
Middle finger to 'em all, I'ma make 'em pay
PSA for any nigga standin' in the way
You don't want these problems, you don't, you don't want these problems
You don't want these problems, nigga you don't want these problems
Oh God, I tell 'em nigga you don't want these problems (I tell 'em)
You don't, you don't want these problems (I tell 'em), you don't want these problems
(M-M-M-M-Maybach Music)
Out in Vegas like Lamar, third floor Tropicana
Fascinated with the cars, smokin' dope in the Phantom
Teflon's on the rise, I despise propaganda
Camouflage MAC-11, I should set an example
Never baptized, as I walk through the fires
The pain and the flame never match my desires
Crucified cause I'm rich, in the coupe, take a pic
On the phone at the light, Kelly Rowland's a friend (yeah)
Catfish in the Benz, Manti Teo's a sucker
Plaques on the wall, hustler so I can say, "Fuck 'em"
Bel Air for the hoes, Cîroc in the pool (yeah)
My bitch is a stripper, her name is April's A Fool
(Maybach Music)
Do it, do it, I'ma fuckin' do it (do it)
These niggas try to hold me back, I swear I've been through it
Middle finger to 'em all, I'ma make 'em pay
PSA for any nigga standin' in the way
You don't want these problems, you don't, you don't want these problems
You don't want these problems, nigga you don't want these problems
I said "Han", that's what the title say
'Cause I'm rich, homie, it's why you feel some kind of way
She threw the pussy and I caught it (caught it), presidential by 40 (40)
That drop hit from Europe (woof), that coupe got deported (ha)
I turn coke boy to that corporate money (money), big choppa, I'm walkin' funny (funny)
Money talk but you ain't talkin' money, you ain't even got no corporate money
Han, whip game proper, I'ma make it work
Versace (Versace), nigga know who did it first
Yeah, yeah, 2 Chainz
We the best, Khaled tried to told ya (yeah)
True, you just second best, Kelly Rowland (hahaha, I'm just playin', babe)
Uh, renegade like Em and Jay
VIP section, started out from section 8 (damn)
Arm and Hammer, I be armed with the hammer
If it was a slumber party, I'd be fresh in pajamas
Silence the shawty, I'm killin' them softly
They slept on me, I stopped sellin' work and started sellin' them coffee, true
Hah! Meek Milly! Uhh
I stay jumpin' out that thing ho, I swear that's word to my momma (WOO!)
I took risks with that 'caine, ho and I sold work for my momma (WOO!)
These niggas don't want no drama (no), these niggas don't want no problems (NO)
These niggas don't want no beef (beef), have 'em walkin' out with that choppa (bah-bah)
These norm niggas don't play that (play that), they murk somethin', I'll tell you that (tell you that)
200 change for this Mulsanne and the wheel's a fortune, Pat Sajak (SKRRT)
We catch cases, don't say jack (WOO), don't talk work cause they tape that (WOO)
Don't sell the work where we lay at (no), and don't spend the bread you can't make back, no
Ace Hood!
Rest in peace, I'mma start murderin' and bodyin' beats
Ain't no defeatin' the eye of the beast and I'm laughin' at people who try to compete
Name any rapper that's fuckin' with me, I'm who these niggas pretendin' to be
Claimin' you wantin' these problems, tell momma get flowers and plannin' your funeral speech
My sanctuary's that cemetery, my choppa, named it "Obituary" (bow bow bow)
Act up, Tyler Perry, boy you sweeter than February (hah)
Real nigga, I define that, you don't even need no dictionary
You ain't even 'bout that life, so these shooters with me ain't necessary - AAH
You don't want these problems, you don't, you don't want these problems
You don't want these problems, nigga you don't want these problems

In DJ Khaled's song "You Don't Want These Problems," the artist proclaims his dominance in the music industry and warns his haters that they cannot stop him. He describes himself as a franchise and suggests that anyone standing in his way will face consequences. Khaled also references others in the industry, such as Lamar and Kelly Rowland, and boasts about his wealth and power. He brings in a variety of featured artists, including 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, and Ace Hood, to add their own verses that similarly emphasize their status and skill in the rap game.
The song is a classic example of braggadocio in hip-hop, with each artist attempting to outdo the one before them in terms of the intensity and swagger of their lyrics. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that Khaled and his crew are unstoppable and that anyone who challenges them will lose. Despite its aggressive tone, "You Don't Want These Problems" showcases the talent and confidence of some of the most popular rappers of the time and highlights their ability to collaborate effectively.

This song underrated

If you weren’t there, you won’t understand how big this was! I’d argue that this did more to propel Khaled than anything else! He was always dope, but he was local. Getting Beans and Kiss together on a record at this time instantly made him a legend! And I’m not talkin about just gettin verses from them individually and dropping them together… They knew and willingly did this together. Beans track w/ a Kiss feature was CRAZY bc it was the first time they rapped together
