Paranoid is from 2013.
squarely a 2014 radio song though
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
So any predictions on when Mustard reaches his saturation point? I have mixed feelings, because individually I enjoy a lot of these songs, but collectively they make for a really monotonous playlist, and they've crowded so many other sounds and ideas out of rap/R&B radio.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link
Like, that Jeremih single is fine, but it's so safe and lazy, and such a missed opportunity. Here's a guy who does really interesting work with a variety of producers, often getting some unexpected sounds from them, and for his lead single we get another Mustard by numbers track
i'm seeing him open for skrillex tonight
― maura, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 20:24 (nine years ago) link
collectively they make for a really monotonous playlist
i disagree w/ this vehemently
variations on a theme imo
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 20:36 (nine years ago) link
I see the evolution in his sound, and obviously it's a lot more varied than it was just two years ago—his keyboards have taken on an effervescence that's really wonderful—but so much of radio right now is hearing that same opening "boop boop boop boop" melody and thinking "ok, which Mustard track is this now."

yeah after all the wait for a proper Jeremih single, it's kind of anticlimactic for him to do a "Show Me" knockoff. that said, "Don't Tell 'Em" replaces every single person and musical element in "Show Me" with someone/something I like better, so it's an improvement at least.

of those i've heard:
1. ty dolla sign ft. bob - paranoid2. yg - left, right3. tinashe ft. schoolboy q - 2 on4. teefli ft 2 chainz - 24 hours5. kid ink ft. chris brown - show me worst: trey songz - na na (urrgh)
mustard's trick is that his productions are quite a bit faster than the sounds that were popular before he broke. gives his productions a certain momentum that prob. partially responsible for radio/club dominance. i think there's a lot more room for him & others to play around with the formula
― out here like a flopson (tpp), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 07:26 (nine years ago) link
'dont tell em' is way more forced than 'show me' imo, inferior record
the 'friday night' to 'show me''s 'can't stop won't stop'
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 09:37 (nine years ago) link
The obvious answer that somehow no one is mentioned is T-Pain's "Up Down" which is >>>>>> everything in this list
also disagree that this sound is monotonous, it's just a tempo and groove, no more 'monotonous' than reggaeton or w/e

"don't tell em" is inferior to "show me" simply because the robin s sample is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
that said, i like "don't tell em," it's a nice jam and considering all of the possible templates of songs that could've facilitated jeremih actually getting his album out i think this one is pretty digestible
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 13:53 (nine years ago) link
The sample is kinda indefensible.

― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 14:03 (nine years ago) link
I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that Jeremih's first big single with Diddy as his manager would feature an interpolation of a way-overplayed megahit. But when he partnered with Diddy I hoped he was getting Dirty Money Diddy, not late-'90s lazy-sample Diddy
― Evan R, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 14:10 (nine years ago) link
my favorites
1. paranoid2. 2 on (my dream version of this is drake switched out for schoolboy q but w/ his verse cut down to 16 bars, alas...)3. 24 hours4. left right (this sounds incredible and punishing on really good speakers)5. show me
i don't dislike any of these songs and i think this is one of the best runs for contemporary rap/r&b in a while (not for one producer, though that also, but just for the genre in general). some of them are more forgettable than others obviously but i really love this sound.
i've even come around on some of the ones i didn't particularly like at first... "na na" has really grown on me
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 14:11 (nine years ago) link
"vato" is an obvious rip off of "my nigga" but i really liked that song, was kinda disappointed when they immediately dropped it
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 14:12 (nine years ago) link
Wait, my bad. I meant the indefensible Snap lyrics on the Jeremih track.
Although I'm sure some ILX0rs are into them as well.

― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:08 (nine years ago) link
I think I'm the only person who's not really all that impressed with "2 On", production-wise. It's Tinashe and Q who elevate the track IMO.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:13 (nine years ago) link
Ugh, I hate that Q verse. It's like listening to a guy sitting on a toilet barking orders to his girlfriend to make him a sandwich. Really pushy and gross

schoolboy q shouldn't be rapping on R&B songs
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:34 (nine years ago) link
between the beat & tinashe's vocals there's a real smoothness to "2 on" and i could see maybe how schoolboy q's gruffness was seen as a nice counterpoint to that but i just find it jarring and garish and think drake approaches the song much better
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:35 (nine years ago) link
ugh drake singing the "2 on" chorus is nails on chalkboard shit
― some dude, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:40 (nine years ago) link
I haven't heard the Drake version, but I'm cool with Q on it (it's my second favorite on this list) and I can't see how Drake Draking all over it would improve it.

I was def too excited, couldn't sleep, screwed up my weekend plans. But it's a great song, and what excites me most, is that Mustard can still deliver these jams so regularly, and actually vary his sound. Is this the first time his trademark 'hey, hey, hey, hey' has become 'ah, ah, ah, ah'?
