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.
Bro no lie… they so soulful I thought the lead singer was a black woman… I looked them up 2 years ago and saw they were a group from Australia and was like “wtf!!!”
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
@@jadawngriffis3745You Absolutely Right! Personally, I work Hybrid 2 day in office and 3 at home. But when I'm driving a hour one way to work I'm listening to everything outside of the US.

Everyone is chasing to make "This Type Beat". Make music for you and that is Way Outside Of The Box. Currently I'm listening to Lebanese and South Korea music which my GF Hates, But she wont ever understand an Sampling and Creating Ear. Unique is Unique.
For my fellow beat makers check out radioooo that shit is dope for finding samples besides RUclips but yea I can relate I was just on a flight last night with a 3 hour layover what did I do listen to my libraries and take notes of time stamps where I found something. I also find myself enjoying a lot of the music I listen to
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

@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
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
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
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.
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 🔥
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
@@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
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.
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
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! 😮😮
To anybody wondering, the album was originally going to be called "What Happens on Earth Stays on Earth" so all of the tracks had different names, with DUCKWORTH. being called "Life is Like a Box of Chicken" before he decided to change it DAMN. with all the tracks being a single word
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.
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.
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
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.
Хобби
"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

KFC add pops up before he reveals the name of the beat wtf
this reply thread is pure serendipity
Cringe.
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
Xxx has a better beat
The whole album is goated not a single skip definitely got pride feel n xxx n duckworth on repeat tho
not better than dna
No way bro used Hiatus Kaiyote on Duckworth. See this dude is a pure artist.
Bro no lie… they so soulful I thought the lead singer was a black woman… I looked them up 2 years ago and saw they were a group from Australia and was like “wtf!!!”
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

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...
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

Wasn’t “Alright” originally intended for Fabulous?
How on earth were any of those beats rejected 😭
Cause god works in mysterious ways
And kendrick is God!
Sometimes the most fire beats just dont fit the tones and vibes of your project so you gotta let it pass you by

Love this pivot to hip hop production story telling
Here during the Drake and Kendrick beef
Literally every album by Kendrick is a work of art
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
Luda so slept on it’s ridiculous
So true. His raps are humurous and witty.
i havent used samples in awhile but you make me want to dive back into that world again

Genius! Thanks for breaking this down!
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
Glad I found your channel!love your videos!
amazing video, thanks for going into the actual theory behind the beats
This is a really good format, damn. Great video

Swear sound like RZA. The way you break everything down is crazy. Good job keep going
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
good editing and well explained!
Love it. Make it a a series
hey navie, i havent been to your channel in a while n i have to say i do love the new style of content!!
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.
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.
Nice vid man ✊😎💯 keep ‘em coming
From France. Very interesting analysis and explanations. A pleasure
great video and great editing
Love your videos you really inspire my beats
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.
wow, excellent video man
That sample put me on to Hiatus Kaiyote and I’ve been in love with their music ever since
hilarious! I just made a Kendrick "all i want for christmas" remix! great video as always, Navi! I love Kendrick. Happy Holidays from Japan!
Great video. Instant sub
I never knew this I love learning the bts of the music man really dope
Good video, good channel. Subscribed.
i got an ad for better beatmaker during this video and it had you in it

ay and these beats are the main reason i love the song. the perfect canvas for a lengthy story telling song.

I listen to both kendrick and hiatus kaiyote, but never new that duckworth had sampled from hiatus, thats hella cool
Nice Video 👍
I love that even almost 6 years later we're finding more interesting stuff about DAMN. This is pretty cool stuff to learn.
the drum beat in the final sample is from Selfish by Slum Village

Walk Like A Man by Murs is kinda a predecessor to Duckworth, also produced by 9th and has 3 beat switches

The last beat on Duckworth my favorite 😊
Thank you definitely one of my favorite Kendrick song's. He spits like when Pac had his zeal. Cali forever!

I swear, the first beat on DuckWorth always been my favourite 🔥
Duckworth was my favorite song in the album cause of the story telling and the beats
i love content about music & production
Your beat break downs are bar none 😗🤌
Genius!
Think with feel, feel with think
The first beat was sampled also on Ludacris' album, cant remeber the song but that sample is unmistakeable..
Kendrick doesnt hide behind the beat or let the beat do the most.he build good relationship with the beat and create hit
Is this a full circle moment? Cause i think it is!
This isn’t the best Kendrick song, but it’s my favorite and the song that brought adult me into true rap appreciation.
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
Living legend
9th Wonder also sampled "Let The Drums Speak" for that 3rd beat.
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.
