Even though he produced three beats for ā€œDuckworth,ā€ 9th Wonder had a realization during our interview. Three samples, three genres, three generations-- Kendrick Lamar intentionally wove "threes all the way across."

READ THE COMPANION ESSAY
ā€œKendrick Lamar Thinks Like A Jazz Musicianā€ by Marcus J. Moore
Kendrick Lamar's song "DUCKWORTH." is made up of three beats, each built around a different sample, by producer 9th Wonder. The way Lamar stitched those beats together illuminates his relationship with contemporary and historical jazz musicians. That essay is here: n.pr/2VdwOIz

I am happy 9thwonder found Ostavi Trag a cappella intro composed/arranged by my dad from the famous Yugoslavian band September. 40+ years later I am very proud on my dad as I am pleased sample was re-done properly... it grooves, its hip...

It's such a shame that there are still people who don't realize how much music there really is in hip-hop. The parallels between this and jazz is uncanny. When he talked about using motion, that's no different than how in the 20s and 30s moves like the charleston influenced the rhythms big bands played. Then he talked about using a sample differently than someone else. That right there is no different than the way jazz musicians of the bop era used contrafacts in different ways. The way Charlie Parker uses a chord progression is going to sound different when Coltrane uses the exact same progression and how they use the same progressions are what made them unique. Then when he talked about putting outfits together is like knowing when to use what licks in your arsenal during an improvised solo. It's really incredible how similar these two idioms are in spite of how different they seem on the surface.

3:19 This might seem simple to most people. But I canā€™t tell you how hard it is to rearrange a sample THAT well, itā€™s art.

Hiatus Kiayotes sound is clearly influenced by Dillas beats. So sampling Hiatus Kiayote is like closing a circle. I felt similar with beats that sample Adrian Younges songs.

This is a perfect example of the difference between smart and intelligence. Smart is being able to gurgitate complex knowledge back out and intelligence is being able to use learned complex knowledge and slove problems and being able to explain it in the most simplest way that even a young child can understand.
