Mustard definitely needed non-west coast rappers on his beats (2 Chainz, Jeezy, etc.) to get to where he is while the west was still gaining steam though, yeah.

Well at any rate it speaks to vanishing label insecurity about the sound
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Saturday, 30 August 2014 15:12 (nine years ago) link
i don't think the sound itself was a liability. even as homogenized as rap radio gets, there's always room for outliers and beats by unknown producers. when "Rack City" came out there wasn't much like it on the radio but it still sounded like a hit and didn't get any resistance for standing out.

what are y'all talking about this style of beats not being popular at first, "Function" was huge
actually i live on the West Coast tho, may've had a little to do with it
― nova, Saturday, 30 August 2014 15:23 (nine years ago) link
i feel like this tape is more like a 6.x than 7.x but the highlights are great.

this is the entire point! "function" was not getting east coast radio spins
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 30 August 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link
yeah the "may've had a little to do with it" was joking/purposeful understatement, my bad i know doesn't always translate well online. I actually did wonder if I was exclusively a California thing tho, like if it got a certain amount of spins elsewhere. Feel like a similar thing may be happening with Iamsu "Only That Real" right now but not sure.
much as i dislike Mustard/fun I do like "Function" and "Like Whaaat" a bunch tho so there's def. a way to do that general style that i'm into. also for some reason the way they censor the cuss words on the radio versions of both sounds really cool on those kinds of beats

the flip of this tho is that it's not like jeezy was a radio presence by the time of "RIP" (let alone "my nigga") and 2 chainz's only sizable solo hit was a drake hook. so you could argue that he did as much for them tho it really did feel like a true tandem sorta thing

the west has def struggled for some good star rappers of late, outside of kendrick
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:34 (nine years ago) link
"Function" got some radio play in Seattle but it felt like more of a club hit than a airplay hit.
― The Reverend, Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:40 (nine years ago) link
function has 3.6 mill spotify plays (more than twice the plays of e-40's next most popular song on the service) and 12 million youtube plays spread out over three "official" videos for original and remix

i think it's prob e-40's biggest hit since tell me when 2 go / u and dat in '06

oh it absolutely is, but it's not like it has any viable competition

I woulda thought the one with chris brown and ti would have done the trick, tho not so much to my taste

Who knew the least-talented up-and-comer on "Function" would have the biggest career two years later
ok Problem I don't really know I just love his second verse on "Like Whaaat"
― nova, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 00:26 (nine years ago) link
the crazy thing about "Function" is that it had 3 guys on it that i was (and probably most non-west coast people were) only hearing for the first or second time on that song and they've all thrived since then

"Don't Tell 'Em" sounds like it was conceived and recorded in like five minutes but I love it.

unnatural in what way? she doesn't sound like she used to but it's been a while

"it's been a while" covers it honestly, i think on some level i was expecting her to sound like she did in "tattoo" and "battlefield" etc lol

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'?
