“Really Doe was me with two verses,” reveals Danny. “It was never a posse cut. That was my song. That was never a song with a lot people on it like that. But then one night I wake up, that’s when I’m in LA mixing the album with Ali. And Kendrick send me a take and it’s ‘Really Doe’…I think when he did it, he wanted it to be me and him. That was his whole intention. So I’m like fuck it, whatever, but when I kept listening to it I was like ‘damn.’ He set up to body me kinda though. That’s how I looked at it. I gave him a song I wanted him to do, and he did a verse to ‘Really Doe’ instead].”

“I was hanging with Ab-Soul a lot then, and I was at Ab-Soul’s crib, so I played him the shit,” he continues. “Ab-Soul did a verse. That was cool, we put it together. But then Ab-Soul got mad at me cause he thought it was just me and him. When I asked him to do a verse to that beat, he didn’t know Kendrick and Earl would be on that song. He got mad at me. On some funny shit. That Do What Thou Wilt] song with Da$h, I was the verse on that shit! He cut me f and put Da$h on it.” 

“Everybody felt that Kendrick’s verse should go last,” reveals Danny. “To this point, people in the studio were saying Earl’s verse was trash. That’s the crazy part. I remember being in the studio and we putting that shit together and people telling me Earl verse trash. Kendrick verse need to be last. I kept listening to the song. You know me, I’m a battle rap fan, a rapper fan. I wanted this shit to be about sparring, and this n***a Earl bodied all us!”

If that wasn’t enough, Danny Brown also reveals that he and Kendrick have an unreleased track together, in which they both body an beat with no hook — while he doesn’t have any plans to ficially release it, he promises he’ll play it for the fans one day.
