I stopped reading once you said that. I dont belive you at all now. That Big Sean song was super big in this decade and in that e40 Rakim thread that was their go to stressing e40s relevance. YGs My nikka My nikka.... I'm not gonna sit here and listen to u tell me that "Mustard on the beat" wasn't popular in this decade amongst the youth. The same song where Jene Aiko made that line about eating groceries popular u gonna sit there and tell me no one was paying attention to the 'mustard' tag..... Rae Shurmmand had Hilary Clinton doing the mannequin challenge but u gonna tel me that "Mike Will" tag wasnt well known.
I'm done.
I know all these songs and yes those songs were huge, but you ain't throwing Mustard's name in a conversation and people know who Mustard is. I don't think you understand what a household name is. A household name is a name someone would know even if they aren't familiar with the songs. I'm sure most people know Cardi B even if they can't name one song she made or was a part of. People know Big Sean. And yeah a lot of people know the Omarion song, but it's not like Mustard is a household name off the strength of producing that song.
Mustard has albums and none of them sold. Same goes for Mike Will. When Timbaland was out here, he had a platinum album with Magoo and a platinum solo album a decade later. Pharrell had a gold album with Chad as The Neptunes and a gold solo album over a decade later. Dre goes without saying.
Mustard's solo songs even with big features flop. Mike Will's biggest song as an artist is "23".
