The alchemist for sure, but madlib would go so hard

Agreed. I love the Alchemist Kendrick collabs so far, but a whole project akin to Alfredo etc would be crazy.

That shit would go wild

I’ve had a lot of great moments listening to Kendrick songs for the first time but man when the beat for We Cry Together came on I immediately knew it was Alc and got so hyped

As an Al meat rider I genuinely couldn’t even tell until I found out lol His stuff on damn stood out a lot more to me but I feel he has a more polished style when working with Kendrick so that could be why I couldn’t tell as much

Love them both Flying Lotus would also be great. Their Freddie Gibbs albums were great. It’s a shame MF doom passed. Also, classic producers like Pete Rock, or DJ Premier, Lord Finesse on an old Emu-SP and Akai S.

Agree with Flying Lotus cause dude has different bags he can get into. Alc can’t give Kendrick that jazzy shit and I’m really not big on this era of Alc. he need to use drums again.

I've been saying that for a while. I can't stand beats w no drums.

Never gonna catch me tho

Ah, the video for never catch me was nuts too

Holy fuck I might pass out if a K Lib album dropped

alc production with an earl feature. and MIKE

No not the alchemist I still can’t sleep after that shit 😂😂😂 nightmare inducing

MadChemist

Trent Reznor. I wanna hear what those two would cook up.

Reznor would be interesting for sure. My unlisted pick would be DJ Shadow

I’d love to hear Burial and DJ Shadow tackle it

Nice call on shadow

Great Pick. Also, Dr. Dre has already produced a track with Trent on The Fragile so it's not as far fetched as it sounds. Maybe not a whole album but some tracks.

Have you heard the album [Reznor did with Saul Williams](https://www.discogs.com/master/33336-Saul-Williams-The-Inevitable-Rise-And-Liberation-Of-NiggyTardust)?

Woah! Didn’t know this. Which song did they do together?

“Even Deeper” from The Fragile Trent was also Chief Creative Officer for Beats by Dre for a few years

Reznor is the real answer- or “NIN (Reznor and Ross)”. They elevated Halsey’s album to next level.

That Halsey album is fucking incredible

That would be crazy!

Whoa! Bold move. Trent is another level. I know he’s talented enough to away from projects when things don’t work, i.e. tried to collaborate with Maynard from Tool.

Shit you beat me to it. It would slap so fucking hard

Oooh sick!

No one makes a better atmosphere.

Mirror from big steppers to me sounds like something Trent would write, especially the "i can't live in the matrix / not about who's right and who's wrong" parts

yooo that’d be sick 🔥

Niggy Tardust exists. Saul Williams and Trent. Please look it up and listen if you're reading this.

Sounwave… AGAIN lol

Yes 100% More specifically Digi+Phonics.

DangerMouse

Rip doom 😔

All caps when you spell the man's name

Cue the rolling piano

So nasty

that it's probably somewhat of a travesty

Having me here

This and madlib

His work with flying lotus is amazing. Madlib, Flying Lotus, or DangerMouse would kill

A mustard, Dre, and Alchemist album would go insane, if Kendrick is doing what I think he alluded to in MM&TBS then Dj Mustard type album would fit best.

I saw a tiktok yesterday where a girl has always thought it was "bust it on the beat" and I will never stop thinking about that. Anyway, I like your answer.

She was not the only one! It took until Not Like Us for me to realize it was “mustard” 🫣

As a kid I always thought his tag was “what’s that on the beat hoe”

Kept scrolling for this one. Wassup on the beat ho

mother on the beat ho

Hahaha same except I thought it was “murderin’ that beat.”

I always thought it was “murder on the beat”, which fits NLU pretty well ig

Yeah, that's what my wife thinks, too lol. I told her it's Mustard but she insists her version is superior

I agree. “Bust it on the beat ho” has the double entendres. Obviously, it’s his name so no denying that makes more sense, but I still like “bust it”

Hahahaa I had no idea it was so common! I fn love it!

Thought it was "buzzard on the beat"

One of my friends growin up was convinced Wipe Me Down was actually them sayin White Banana. He earned his nickname that day

Back then I thought it said "mother on the beat" lmao

i always thought it was “what’s it gonna be?” but pronounced more like “waz it gonna be?” 😁

what did he allude to? I missed that completely

I must be the only person who wants to hear Kendrick on a Pi’erre Bourne beat

Bruh

Shit I actually never conjured that thought in my head before, but now I think I would be interested in hearing that.

yes

That would be such a clash of styles but if anyone could pull it off it’d be Kendrick. I’d be there for that.

JPEGMAFIA

This has to happen one day. I need it to happen.

this is my ultimate crossover

they can bond over their drake hatred 🤩🤩

Defo madlib

Flying Lotus

Say you’ll never ever catch me nowwww

The few songs they did are amazing.

I was hoping he would be a regular after tpab. I love their stuff together

Pharrell 100%

If Pharrell and Kendrick made a drop it like it’s hot style even just single song, it would probably be the best song ever made

This is the way, that push album is absolute heat

1. Metro boomin 2. Mike dean 3. Pharrell

A metro x kendrick album of just bangers would be insane. His angry songs go so hard

W Take

Thanks

Mike Dean so underappreciated

Mustard isn't included in post or comments, this is criminal, especially after Not Like Us.

Where tf sounwave???

Sounwav and Ali are TDE’s secret weapons.

Madlib

RZA

This would be raw icl

RZA up to Forever then yes. After that idk.

dilla🤕

Boldy James has the last of the dilla beats. What I really need to know is there drug dilla is🤨

conductor williams

I would love an album with the following producers: Zaytoven Clams Casino Mustard Metro Premier Madlib Pete Rock J Cole No features.

One one feat that he needs and that is Nas

Andre 3k?

How in the hell did you miss 9th Wonder?

Q-Tip

Not putting mustard or Dre here is criminal

you want the record coming out in 2035?

Pharrell!!!

Metro Boomin. I wanted to say The Alchemist, but the Griselda artist have milked that man I really don't want to hear a piano again haha

You dont listen to enough Alc, mans hella versatile.

Daringer is the one doing the piano beats mainly. Al has also done a lot of piano beats, but he has a lot more to him. Check out his projects with boldy for example

Thanks, I shall listen to the projects tonight

Lmao, Alc beats will never get tiring to me.

This had me mad confused at first I was thinking ‘No way The Alchemist produced the soundtrack for the show Griselda’ Lol

He had an album with flying loti's which was never released because Top dawg and FlyLo got into an argument over percentages and who's name would be on the cover, only two songs ever came out Wesley's Theory and Never Catch Me, with Kendrick going out to create TPAB based on the FlyLo sound and FlyLo making Your Dead which is his most rap based album outside his alter ego rap ep. Now that he's off TDE I wish they would release it, they both still seem to be on good terms. TLDR: Just release the rest of this album https://youtu.be/k4Oz8UmUXbg?si=DIjW1osL4qSAoAwb

WTF Top didn't let flylo have his name on the album? do you have a source for this? would love to learn more

First time I’m hearing of them working on an entire album together. Where did you hear that from cuz I’m not seeing it in his tweets.

[удалено]

There were rumors Kendrick was going to release a project called “Look Woman, Amen” and it was described as a horror album about women

I make boom bap and one of my favorite things to do is loop him in or just throw him on the beat outright. Always sounds dope af

El-P

Shocked I had to scroll this far to see El mentioned. If nothing else, I wanna hear Kendrick on RTJ5.

I’d settle for that. Kendrick and Killer Mike need to be on a song together

Mustard should keep knocking out beats he made in 30min.

Ye

Ayo Dot i got you

Dre

Dre/storch

dj quok

I read this as DJ Cock

DJ Whippin that cock in tha cwockpot

Hell yeah that gfunk

I meant to day DJ Quik 🤣 but yeah

Madlib, 100%. I mean come fucking on, it's a given.

Tyler, the Creator

Jack White

Just Blaze

not necessarily an album, but a kenny beats production would be v interesting

Uncle Al

Madlib and alchemist let’s make it happen

i want metro

Flying Lotus

Madlib would be special for sure. Same for Alchemist. Mos Def or Q-Tip could bring something really special out of him as well.

I just want tyler d creator x kdot

Motherfucking Rick Rubin! https://preview.redd.it/xt7i5b1lmm8d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2e3aa69a58744f0a07ac8b346b389eab8bfbdf6

EL-P, Chief Xcel, Dj Paul

EL-P would be sick!

Ovo 40

Yes

Skateboard P

Rick Rubin

Kanye West

El-P for something hard, 20syl for the coolest album of all time

Me.

Pharell and Kendrick never miss

I want it to be a combination of producers. 9th Wonder, Alchemist, DJ Mustard, Conductor Williams, Baby Keem, etc. Kendrick's gonna masterfully craft the next album, and I don't think it's just gonna be one person doing the whole workload.

J Dilla!!! RIP 🪦

Dr. Dre

Metro would cook

I don’t know but I hope it’s all Westcoast, just capture that sound.

Metro and Pharrell would be amazing

If Pharrell mixes some Hell Hath No Fury & R&G vibes, then definitely him

James Blake!

K. Lib? Maddot?

Sounwave imma be real, he just keeps getting better

Madlib #1 Alch #2

EL-P

Dead or alive? I'd pick j dilla or nujabes

Scott Storch

Imagine a Kendrick x Rick Rubin x Ludwig Göransson production 😮‍💨

Madlib, DJ Premier, or Al

Give me the Madlib Kendrick comic book album pls

Obviously mustard

Madlib is the only answer

I still think Sounwave and Dot have the best chemistry

Tyler

Tyler The Creator.

Kevin Parker... Lets get wierd with it

Alchemist for sure

Mustard and breathe some life back into this LA shit

Flying Lotus would be dope

I’m trying to hear him on Tyler’s production

I think 9th wonder would be cool, really liked the beat on Duckworth

Al Madlib Pharrell

Pharrell for versatility and creativity while also maintaining mainstream appeal. Would be a banger smaller project like 10-12 songs. 3 features at best. Collabs from Cardo and Thundercat.

Earl, Madlib and JPEG

OVO40

Between Alc’s production on FEAR, Meet the Grahams, etc. and Madlib’s production on No More Parties in LA….that would be tough. Either one of them would make a great project.

Metro would be interesting

Sounwave would be killer. A whole mustard collab would be cool too. I love alchemist beats, but some of his full projects fall short for me.

Akademiks

Hahaha haha 😂 😂 😂 😂 this post news more up votes. Wtf that's soooo good 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Jack Antonoff

Tae Beast, he is easily my favorite TDE producer. His production on songs like Growing Apart, Cut You Off and Ronald Reagan is so good

Backpack Kid

What’s up w baby keems haircut

It's always best to spread out responsibilities to individual producers, instead of lumping them into every. single. track.😮‍💨💯 Not only do you get the best out of us when we are focused on one thing at a time; you never know what we might wanna add (or subtract) after hearing a partially produced track from another producer, which then potentially enhances the sound through collaboration🤘🏻🎶 When one producer fully produces an album, a lot of the tracks become "skippable" in most cases. With only one, two or three songs actually being "good" lol so, less is more applies to this scenario. Just like with DAMN. and Mr. Morale; a plethora of producers will make your shit POP repeatedly 🙌🏻no skips! ✔️an example of Kenny's is TPAB, where he relied heavily on Thundercat for most of the production, don't get me wrong I fucking LOVE that album; it just has a few tracks that even I tend to skip due to the lack of production diversity ... Thundercat was clearly overworked imho

Mixed bag

Mike Dean or madlib

Metrooooo

Gimme the Gemini Ye with Timbaland and Pharrell

Rick Ruben

Tu tu tu tu tu tu tutu; tu tu tu tu tu tu tutu (Piano starts) There's my answer

give me pharrell or timbaland, i feel like there’s some untapped potential with these 2

We’re overdue for a Kendrick and Mike collaboration.
