Mustard shares 5 things you didn't know about Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us,” including his reaction when he heard it for the first time, confirming if he tried Nas' “Ether,” and more.
Mustard:
What's up, it's Mustard, and here are five things you might not know about “Not Like Us.” One thing you may not know is that I didn't test the beat for “Ether.” I've definitely seen someone say that; I didn't try a Nas song. The second thing you may not know is that I heard the song when everyone else heard it. I never heard it before. I wasn't in the studio with them. I had never heard that song. So when everyone else heard it, I heard it. When I was doing it, I was… in the back of my head was: What would Dr. Dre do if Lil Jon was in the studio and they were just clapping along to the beat? That was my thought process. It took me about 30 minutes to do that beat. And fifth, I didn't know he was going to accelerate that pace like that. That's all.
