"Common passed on this beat I made it to a jam" - Kanye and literally whoever rapped on over a passed Common beat
-
the original title “Life is Like a Box of Chicken” is crazy seeing how the story told in “Duckworth” is about how unpredictable life is and how Kendrick’s dad working at a KFC and thinking quick basically saved his life and protected his son’s future. Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.

Duckworth has the BEST beats on the whole album imo. I can't believe that of all the songs made up of rejected beats it was this one.
-
Damn beat creators have got to be listening to so much music to get all these samples. So much respect.
-
That 9th Wonder video where he breaks the beat down himself is also worth the watch.
-
9th will find the soulful part of any sample 😎 I think his signature drums make him one of the most iconic producers.
-
a rapper can only make so many songs. if you have passed on hundreds of dope beats, that means you have a lot of dope beatmakers sending you their best shit
-
The fact that 9th Wonder found this random Yugoslavian Prog rock song and turned it into magic is so sick. what a wizard
-
soooo much better than Drake.
-
No way bro used Hiatus Kaiyote on Duckworth. See this dude is a pure artist.
-
It's always interesting to hear what "classic" and "iconic" works in someone's discog were completely tossed by someone else, it always makes for interesting "what if" ponderings. I'm definitely glad these all went to Kendrick, along with Pharrell's "Alright" beat that was originally intended for Tyga (which sounds like an insane song arc even before you hear the demos 😂😂)
-
How on earth were any of those beats rejected 😭
-
I never realized how much goes into making a beat. Holy cow these guys are crazy.
-
I wouldnt use the word "rejected" it makes it seems like these artists are passing the beats off as "trash" the truth is a rapper might go though 20-100 great beats a day to find one to record to, its just finding the one that fits u artistically personally and that fits your present mood and what ur trying to express at the time
-
Definitely the Hiatus Kaiyote beat was my favourite. I even made a version of DUCKWORTH where it’s just that beat the whole time with an alternative intro
-
I love how the first beat vocal chops sound like he's saying "Duck" when the title of the song it DUCKWORTH that's really cool
-
Luda so slept on it’s ridiculous
-
Literally every album by Kendrick is a work of art

Here during the Drake and Kendrick beef
