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.
I was thinking the same thing, crazy! Altho I think he might have meant it was a working title for DUCKWOTH before it go its final name. That would have been a fire title too if that's the case.
Honestly, if they have a Job that's remote or don't have a lot of meetings. They just listening to random music during the working hours. Go home and cook up
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
Nah, Common just has certain sound he sticks to. Like house music, jazz and blues type beats. He's more of a Poet than a rapper. That open mic night kinda vibe.
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 😂😂)
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

Thanks for making this vid! Informative. Kendrick’s tweet & meet is an amazing story! I’m glad he got to rap about his father in music made by someone he also respected
Love Kendrick and 9th, so, naturally, I was uber amped when I first heard Duckworth. Navie comin' with the fire content as always. I'ma go rewatch the vid on Kanye's unwanted beats just cus 🔥
That hiatus kaiyote section was my favorite. I discovered them from a friend after hearing this song and it took a while for me to catch the sample from listing to duckworth and I was blown away. Love that entire track.
The second beat just brings me to a different place than the other 2. Vocal driven beats have always been my favorite, especially as this one has a "choral" style to it
@royalty_the1892 serato sample is worth the money, not sure if that's in your price range or not. Otherwise just use the daw sampler until you're ready to spend the money
Also, could please talk about Kendrick's The Heart Pt. 4 track in a your future video? That song has several distinct sections which go together very well, and I'd love to hear about it.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325🧢🧢 that Game album has some of his best…On Me (he actually had a better verse than kendrick on), Dont Trip, Dollar & a Dream, Step Up, Summertime i actually go back to this album more than i ever did Damn 🤷♂️
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 umm actually he was working on either 1992 or Documentary 2 at the time and both of those albums were good. He was far from washed
I rarely write comments, but I make an exception for you, since the videos are really cool. It would be cool if you made a new version with an analysis of 9th Wonder techniques, like you did about other producers
That's why the beat switch was so seamless. I've listened to many songs where the beat switches without seamless transition, it's like a new song was playing, i.e. Travis Scott's "STARGAZING." Then some songs I've listened to, oversaturate the song with beats that are not cohesive, i.e. Beyoncè's "House." What made me enjoy that beat for DUCKWORTH was the fact 9th kept the same kick and bass and all three were soul based samples.
Chopping like that is something I mess around with but I always think it sounds messy.. It probably is but I wonder if some unique drums could have saved some beats
Duckworth is fucking god tier. Def among the top 20 tracks in hip-hop. The songwriting is fucking incredible. Reminds me of Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst on good kid m.A.A.d city. Kendrick’s longer narrative tracks are p much always 10/10.
Fun fact: I had no idea 9th sampled Ostra vi for Kendricks song, and ended up chopping it up for a song I did with my production class. I happened to use that "too busy" section and made a FIRE song called High infinite power! Check it out! Terry Borderline - High infinite power! Also great video as usual! I always look forward to these EDIT: An even CRAZIER coincidence is I have a line in the song where I say "write 9ths that wonder" bruh you cannot make this up! 😮😮
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
Have been listening to rap music since I was a child, going strong 20+ years now. Have never been able to enjoy a Kendrick Lamar song yet. I do respect him though, and understand his greatness, just sharing an opinion, or rather an honest observation I've made for myself. Merry Christmas
That's funny too, because the main reason I never got into Common is because most of his songs don't pass that first vibe check before I skip it. Just not feeling the beat. Never listened to a full song of his until Go! And realized he's actually pretty dope.
"Common passed on this beat I made it to a jam" - Kanye and literally whoever rapped on over a passed Common beat
Common has a habit of rejecting dope beats apparently 😂😂
Everything I’m not made me everything I am
Common been exposed many times over at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if he had ghosts the whole time

That's MAAD...
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.
DUCKWORTH. is amazing but PRIDE. is really good too
9th will find the soulful part of any sample 😎 I think his signature drums make him one of the most iconic producers.
He’s hard on thee drums very fire 😯🙂💅
You the sample GOAT.
Never heard of him
@youngsosa3110 9th wonder...
Damn beat creators have got to be listening to so much music to get all these samples. So much respect.
Honestly, if they have a Job that's remote or don't have a lot of meetings. They just listening to random music during the working hours. Go home and cook up
That 9th Wonder video where he breaks the beat down himself is also worth the watch.
Definitely. Producer breakdowns always bring a respectable lens, I wish we saw way more of them
@@nyshyn307some producers don’t want to “leak the sauce “. Which I find dumb.

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
The breakdown on the chop on the first beat hella helpful, great vid as always

My personal favorite song of Kendrick’s, his flow is crazy and the storytelling is amazing, aswell as the beats bringing the whole thing together
Swear sound like RZA. The way you break everything down is crazy. Good job keep going
Genius! Thanks for breaking this down!
you need to have 500k followers with all the GEMS you give us !!! been following for a long time now !!! your killing it NAVIE !!! thanks!!
Crazy video as always man!
hilarious! I just made a Kendrick "all i want for christmas" remix! great video as always, Navi! I love Kendrick. Happy Holidays from Japan!
hey navie, i havent been to your channel in a while n i have to say i do love the new style of content!!
great work navie, happy to have you doing this kind of videos
Kendrick lemar is gold himself he does not need a good beat to make a good song ,his lyrics are intrumental

nice work on the video! the last beat is definitely my favorite, the drums are sampled from Let the drums speak by The Fatback Band.
Glad I found your channel!love your videos!
This is a really good format, damn. Great video

Nice vid man ✊😎💯 keep ‘em coming
That sample put me on to Hiatus Kaiyote and I’ve been in love with their music ever since

i havent used samples in awhile but you make me want to dive back into that world again

Thanks for this one Navie
Love it. Make it a a series
Literally every album by Kendrick is a work of art
The story telling on this track is godly!
From France. Very interesting analysis and explanations. A pleasure

Love your videos you really inspire my beats
the flow switch is one of the best ever
I hope there will be an unlimited supply of these stories because I can't get enough of it
great video and great editing
ay and these beats are the main reason i love the song. the perfect canvas for a lengthy story telling song.
i got an ad for better beatmaker during this video and it had you in it
Du machst geilen content ,Mann!
Walk Like A Man by Murs is kinda a predecessor to Duckworth, also produced by 9th and has 3 beat switches
I never knew this I love learning the bts of the music man really dope
As an audio engineer myself . I appreciate this breakdown. Good job man
Luda so slept on it’s ridiculous
That's so crazy, Duckworth is imo the best beat on DAMN. by far, it's a sick old school boom bap style with a catchy vocal chop.
SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS THOUGHT THIS SONG DESERVED SOOO MUCH MORE APPRECIATION, 9TH🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love that even almost 6 years later we're finding more interesting stuff about DAMN. This is pretty cool stuff to learn.
the spacing is incredible
Navie can u make a video on drumless hip hop like Alchemist would make for Boldy James
Thank you definitely one of my favorite Kendrick song's. He spits like when Pac had his zeal. Cali forever!
This isn’t the best Kendrick song, but it’s my favorite and the song that brought adult me into true rap appreciation.
I listen to both kendrick and hiatus kaiyote, but never new that duckworth had sampled from hiatus, thats hella cool
That first beat is a masterpiece. I'm curious what Game would've done with that
At the time, probably nothing. Game was pretty much washed at that point. He’d already rapped about everything already
@@chiarosuburekeni9325🧢🧢 that Game album has some of his best…On Me (he actually had a better verse than kendrick on), Dont Trip, Dollar & a Dream, Step Up, Summertime i actually go back to this album more than i ever did Damn 🤷♂️

9th Wonder also sampled "Let The Drums Speak" for that 3rd beat.
i just watched your asap rocky video and i fall in love in your beat, when i can buy it?
One of my favorite songs of his!
The first beat was sampled also on Ludacris' album, cant remeber the song but that sample is unmistakeable..
Chopping like that is something I mess around with but I always think it sounds messy.. It probably is but I wonder if some unique drums could have saved some beats

the third one is also amazing... I dont know how any rapper could reject things like these...

9th Wonder is one of the GOATs. I missed when Little Brother was a trio but I'll get what I can get.

9th wonder really live up to his name…. 😮this dude is an alien bro
I wonder if in 30-50 years people will start sampling modern rap songs that sample 70's songs, so well have samples of samples
You really did your best to get to that 8min mark
2024 and your now reading this. 😎 Now my music is kinda gaining traction. Ngl it happens fast. 💪🏽
I like the first and the third beats the best
Kendrick worked with 9 th before that ...he was on super genous with act proof and i think he did a sing with rapsdody .
man, how the september beat was rejected??? what a dope beat...
