What is the viral Kendrick Lamar ‘Mustard’ song meme trend?

by

As a dedicated fan and connoisseur of hip-hop culture, I’ve been following Kendrick Lamar’s career since his Compton days. The man has always had a knack for pushing boundaries, and his latest move is no exception. In a world where every word and gesture is scrutinized, he managed to create a meme out of an unexpected “Mustard!” shout in his new song ‘TV Off.’

Kendrick Lamar’s latest song has spontaneously become a viral sensation, courtesy of an unforeseen exclamation where he forcefully cries out “Mustard!

This year’s Super Bowl half-time performer astonished fans when he suddenly released his long-awaited GNX album without any prior notice on November 22.

Instead of listeners hunting for more possible viral jabs or diss tracks directed at Drake due to their recent rap dispute, it’s actually Kendrick Lamar who inadvertently ignited a well-known meme. This occurred after an unusual outburst during a specific section of one of his new tracks.

What song does Kendrick Lamar scream Mustard on?

In the heat of my gaming session, when the beats on “TV Off” by Kendrick Lamar shifted dramatically around the two-minute mark, I couldn’t help but shout, “Mustard!” It was a moment that felt electrifying, just like leveling up in a game.

Despite appearing spontaneous, the excessive display of emotion by the rapper was in fact a tribute to DJ Mustard, who collaborated on the production of the song. You can hear DJ Mustard’s distinctive tag, “Mustard on the beat, yo,” right before the rapper starts shouting loudly.

As a gamer myself, I’ve noticed some folks cracking jokes about Mustard potentially adopting a scream as his new producer tag, and surprisingly, it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Mustard gotta use this as a producer tag now 😭

During an interview with Billboard, Mustard shared that the reference was “definitely deliberate.” He continued by expressing his excitement, saying, “It’s absolutely fantastic. I mean, is this a fresh tag? I can hardly wait to perform that song and hear people chant it – everyone will be shouting it everywhere!

Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” drew significant acclaim during his rap rivalry with Drake, and simultaneously, the “BBL Drizzy” TikTok trend exploded when producer Metro Boomin reacted to Drake, who had referenced him in one of his diss tracks.
