DJ Mustard reflects on his string of Billboard chart successes. In an interview with HardknockTV’s Nick Huff [April 11], the Los Angeles, California-native says that he recently learned that he has eight songs on the Billboard Hot 100. He also says that every award show should select him as Producer Of The Year.
“I just read that shit,” Mustard says. “We got eight [songs on Billboard’s Hot 100] now. We’re 8% of your Hot 100. I’m trying to be 10%. I need Producer Of The Year for every award show. Every one. All of them. I think I deserve it. I had an epiphany right now.”
DJ Mustard Discusses Kendrick Lamar’s Next Album
The “Show Me”-producer also details the progress of his expected collaboration with Kendrick Lamar. Though he says the track—which is expected to be included on Lamar’s next album—has yet be created, Mustard guarantees that the song will be “greatness.”
“[Kendrick] told me he wants me to yell on some shit,” he says. “You know how I been doing that Fat Man Scoop shit? It’s coming. Nobody wants to do that anymore. Nobody wants to have fun. Everyone always wants to be all serious and shit. I’m trying to turn up. I’m trying to have a party. That’s what I want to do. I don’t know what the outcome of that’s gonna be but I know it’s gonna be greatness…I know me and Terrace Martin were working on some shit for him, but we didn’t do it yet. It’s gonna come. It’s gonna be hard.”
DJ Mustard also questions why Hip Hop deejays feel that the only way to play big festivals is to switch to Electronic Dance Music (EDM).
“I feel like they don’t have to do that,” he says. “I feel like it’s cool because I want to do EDM, too. I think that’s dope, but why can’t a Hip Hop deejay do that? I can. I know it’s possible because I just did it. I just did the Raybans thing, South By Southwest. I’m doing a Brisk Bodega tour. I feel like that’s by being a Hip Hop deejay. I don’t do any EDM records right now. That’s all by being a Hip Hop deejay. Why can’t we do [big festivals]? We can. I just feel like they’re so quick to jump to EDM, they don’t think that we can play our own music. I did a show with my nigga Young Chop before. He don’t even deejay! But he can do a show.
“I feel like if people start pressing that line hat we can do whatever we want to do, there will be more influence,” Mustard continues. But they just be like, ‘Oh, we can’t get shows like them because they do EDM.’ No. You can bring out the same amount of people. A lot of people like Hip Hop. Everybody don’t just like EDM. Make your Hip Hop build up like the EDM. That’s no respect for EDM. I got a lot of homies that [are EDM deejays]. Diplo. I met Skrillex before. Cashmere Cat—that’s the homie. Disclosure—they hard as fuck. I went to the Horror Fest. That shit changed my life, but it also made me feel like you could just be a Hip Hop deejay and do that, too. I’m actually playing the Horror Fest this year and I’m playing all Hip Hop.”

that shit looks easy. these producers are dumbasses
Mustard is one of the worst producers ever.
That’s funny, cause I have yet to listen to any of this nigga’s beats.
Are u living under a rock?
Yes, why?
dont worry you aint missing much
FAT RETARD FAGGOT.
NO MUSICAL ABILITY WHATSOEVER.
MAJORITY OF PRODUCERS IN RAP ARE NOB TURNING DUMB FUCKS WITH ZERO MUSICAL ABILITY AND VERY LITTLE SOUL.
DJ MUSTARD IS A ONE NOTE BUM THAT ENTERTAINS AND APPEALS TO VERY DUMB PEOPLE. THE MAJORITY OF RAP LISTENERS TODAY ARE VERY DUMB PEOPLE. THEY WILL ATTACK THIS POST AND ACT LIKE MUSTARD IS SOMETHING SPECIAL. ALL HIS BEATS SOUND THE SAME AND THEY’RE EXTREMELY REPETITIVE AND HEADACHE INDUCING. NONE OF THIS TRASH RAP ON THE RADIO AND BLOGS TODAY WILL STAND THE TIME.
IMAGINE PLAYING A DJ MUSTARD RECORD 10 YEARS FROM NOW AND REMINISCING ON THE “GOOD TIMES”. YOU ARE FUCKED UP AND CULTURALLY DEPRIVED IF THAT HAPPENS TO YOU IN 10 YEARS.
RAP IS FOR GAYS AND RETARDS NOW.
Best comment on this site ever, ever
well, partially true, but people will actually be reminiscing about his songs, like rack city, yeah its a shit song, but people will remember that and definitely be like “aah, remember when this can out, good times”, when you associate good memories with bad songs you will automatically change the perception of the song.
But to say that he has no musical ability whatsoever is a little harsh. is you compare this to most old school producers, who didnt come up with a single melody of their own since they only relied on samples, you can see that he has alot more musical talent than alot of them, since he is actually able to create melodies on his own.
also, soul is not per definition the ultimate sound to go after, if he got his own style that people actually likes, why should he be looked down upon?
And if im not mistaken, one of the biggest complaints i hear about old school soul hip hop is that it all sound the same. And you have to remember that these are only his first years, when hes really confident he will be able to really switch up his sound, and that’s when ell really see what hes made of.
As of right now, he got no need to change he style as its getting bigger and bigger every time he drops something, but when he needs to drop something with a new sound, thats when we really get to know what hes made of… Im not sure yet, and really no one should be.
FACTS
We got a delusional Mustard dickrider. We don’t believe you, you need more people. Nothing you say is fact at all.
lol, y’all were defending Lex Lugar not long ago
Harry Fraud was hot just a while back, Lil B was that new conscious guy, it’s okay for V Nasty to say n!gga, it’s Mike Will Made It’s time, Young Chop is the future
homers can’t even stay loyal to the side you chose, why would you think anyone believes what y’all say?
“it’s Mike Will Made It’s time, Young Chop is the future”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
DJ mustard is the best producer of the year that nigga beats are all good

DJ Mustard, Mike Will and Young Chop got production locked for 2014 and beyond…Aint Nobody touchin them right now…
No, they don’t. All three of them suck.
Timbaland though…
Hit Boy shits on all three of those niggas.
these two faggots dumb as fuck timbaland and hitboy aint as consistent as mustard is this year dumbasses
lmao if you compare hit boy and timbaland to this fat nigga you dont know shit. He’s having a nice run now, but I dont think he’ll still be doing it big one year from now
making the same sound every track doesnt consider you producer of the year
these wack producers/djs dont even own a god damn vinyl record. the culture has been raped dammmmmn
fuk this nikka and his ancestors
he deserves producer of the year, he’s the hottest right now. producing a lot of dope tracks. i don’t think he’ll last though because a lot of his beats are the same, he’ll need to switch it up to survive.
He aint lying
Hes a bitter!!!! I miss producers with a original sound
This guy shouldn’t produce any Kendrick Lamar song EVER. Stick to produce Lil Wayne and those other bullshit artists.
he needs a new drum kit and keyboard
no Kdot please. we dont need this fat nigga beat on ur next classic
Thank you for saying that, Mustard whack af
Word
How is this man famous?
He makes the beats that are on a f uck load of top tracks right now
All he makes is loops. 1-2 bar loops tops.
That’s nothing to celebrate. That’s not even a real producer to me.
Fuck this fat nigga…Noah “40” Shebib, T-Minus and Boi-1da are all better than this clown. OVO all day!
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour’s sister has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out.

there is a huge difference between a producer…and a beat maker which is what he is
You all need to look up Alex Da Kid work he should get producer of the year. Made Beats for Nicki eminem skylar grey 50 cent slaughterhouse and he was the man behind that radioactive song.None of his beats sound the same either.
His shit is basic as fuck
making basic shit bang is no joke, not easy
He doesn’t have 8 songs on Billboard. The artists do.

watching these producers work is like watching a moron, “and then i added a ‘ha’ on top..”
Watching this video made me believe that I too could steal other people’s samples and add a “hi-hat” and some “heys” to make $$$$. Damn I should really start producing!!
