Two days after expressing his frustration with Iggy Azalea over to her production sound, DJ Mustard took a whole different approach in a new interview.
Speaking with Complex, Mustard was basically indifferent to the fact that "Fancy" bit his style.
"It's not like a reaction," Mustard said. "It's just like (shoulder shrug), alright. What do you do? Do you be mad? I'm not the type to just be mad at people for that. I don't care. It doesn't scare me, like, 'Oh my god, what am I gonna do?' It makes me realize, when I turn up, you're gonna have to turn up the same way."
That's a much different tone than Wednesday's interview reported by HipHop DX.
"At first I was like, 'Yeah, you trippin,'" he said. "I know Iggy. We know her. She used to be chillin' with me, [Ty Dolla $ign], YG. She used to be chillin' with us. She knows the sound. She knows how hard we was working to make that sound and for you to go to somebody else or for you to do whatever you did, whatever they did and just be like, 'Oh this is new and I don't know why Mustard dissed...' No. You know why."
But music is cyclical, and no one is completely original.
In May, Oakland rapper Mistah F.A.B. claimed that Mustard himself borrowed production from a Bay Area style.
"We created a sound in the Bay Area and it took several years for it to catch on," F.A.B. said at the time. "The Mustard sound that's pippin' right now...That was created in the Bay Area. We not mad at it at all. I'm not mad at it because I'm still able to get in and do what I do."
Mustard's response on Friday?
"I come from L.A., so I wanted to show people this is where I get it from," he said. "This is how it's supposed to sound. This is how the L.A. sound is."
He also talked about digital security when discussing a new track that talks about putting pass codes on smart phones.
"My girlfriend has broken into my phone before, I think," he said. "Every girl has broken into their guy's phone. I have a code more so for if I lose my phone. They get my numbers, and I can't afford to do all that."
The producer is currently working with Ty on a new album, but also promised a new collaboration with his longtime rapper, YG. Check out the full interview here.
