yall compare mustard with legends like timbaland and pharrell because of quantity .. you hear em in a mix show constantly cuz he's the only one really aiming to produce 100 bpm songs (which DJ's love ... believe me I love )
however before u can quantify his run ... u cant talk about his songs getting radio play .. u gotta talk about top 10 singles, grammys (and other awards) and single certification (platinum, gold)
timbaland and pharrel while they cant match dj mustard in quantity ... i mean just listen to his songs ... to make a new one p robably takes 20 minutes ... just get on his machine ... open up a tempplate with the drums, whistles and 'mustard on the beat ho' on it already and come up with a mono melody consisting of less than 10 keys ... and probably someting reminiscing to a 80's disco hit .. throw that base under it ... and repeat ... thats why he can send kanye 100 beats. nygga can knock em out on a thursday night before hitting the club.
Labels love having a 'hit formula' right now mustard is part of it .. its no suprise why even j lo is tryna get a mustard stimulus package. this is why radio play means nothing ... labels are paying stations 20,000 to buy advertisement to push their new 'dj mustard produced' single ...so all you hear on the radio is dj mustard. and of course his shyt goes in the club for the reason I explained above.
so his ability to be compared to legends cant be quantity ... have yall heard some of timbalands records in early 2000's? sonical masterpieces ... (danjahandz also that dude too)
But time will tell cuz I see a lot of content from him... some are charting really well and then some come and go because they get replaced by one of his other songs.
reason that seems to be is because of a generic feel.
