Jul 6, 2018 The beat that became “March 14” was born in Miami in January. T-Minus went into the studio there with producer-guitarist J. Valle (Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz) and Drake. “There was a gloom over the city,” Valle says. “On the outside, the studio looked very grimy, like an abandoned newsroom. On the inside, [it was] state-of-the-art comfort. [Drake] had his own room. There were several other rooms me and T would be in.” The two men worked on beats for a week and discussed Drake’s next direction. “There were a lot of conversations before ‘March 14’ was made,” Valle says. “He was always pushing for the next best thing. ‘God’s Plan’ was Number One, but he was looking for the next ‘Headlines,’ the next ‘Started From the Bottom,’ the next sound to define a project.” On the final day in the studio, Valle, T-Minus and Drake fawned over Kanye West’s “Devil in a New Dress,” which builds around a tender sample of Smokey Robinson’s “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” “Me, T, Drake and a few others were on our laptops for an hour just listening to samples,” Valle says. “That’s when I found this sample:” D’Angelo’s “Lady,” the neo-soul maven’s biggest chart hit. T-Minus had reservations about flipping such a well-known record. “I was like, everyone’s gonna know that sample,” he says. But the two men started to manipulate “Lady,” reversing it, playing with the pitch and building a beat. They shared the finished instrumental with Drake later that night. “He’s bobbing his head back and forth,” Valle recalls. “He had that face he makes – that grimy face on. He makes eye contact with me and mouths, ‘this is hard.'” Drake asked T-Minus to send him the beat. The subsequent details get murky. Drake keeps his circle close; T-Minus has worked with the star for more than a decade, but he only found out that Drake had cut a track using the instrumental “about a month ago.” T-Minus didn’t know the content of the record until Scorpion arrived on streaming services. Valle thinks the song’s title offers clues about its path. “[March 14] is the day [Drake] played Fortnite, and then he’s like, I gotta go on a plane to Wyoming in a few,” Valle speculates. (At the end of a Fortnite session with star gamer Ninja that was watched by more than 600,000 viewers, Drake said he had to pack for a trip.) “It’s also the day he went to Wyoming to see them, Kanye and [his] camp – I wonder if they heard it then?” “When Kanye called Drake to come out [and work], that was a good moment,” Yusef says. “But there were unresolved issues between him and Pusha that people should have paid attention to. You gotta have your ear on a swivel in this game – in this world period, but in this game. [You gotta know] who works with who, who talks to who, all that.” When Pusha-T took aim at Drake at the end of May, two different albums were in danger of being disrupted. West was in the middle of a heroic feat of last-minute engineering to complete Ye, which he debuted in Wyoming on the evening of May 31st. “I just told Ye, [the beef between Drake and Pusha-T] is gonna be a distraction, bro,” Yusef says. “This didn’t need to happen, brother. Everyone’s talking about it, what’s it gonna mean, who’s gonna be upset, why did it happen.” Producers who believed they had credits on Scorpion also started to get nervous after “The Story of Adidon” came out. “The majority of the album was already done,” says producer Nonstop da Hitman (“Elevate”). “I don’t think Push made [Drake] go in and go back to the drawing board, but a lot of people was afraid of that, that he would just scrap this album and go in – just try to give the fans what they were looking for as far as that beef.” Troubling reports about the fate of the “March 14” instrumental started to trickle back to T-Minus. “For the first few weeks that I found out the track was done, I was hearing they weren’t sure they were gonna use my record,” the producer says. “I was like, why? When Drake wants a record, he’s usually gonna take it. They were deliberating. I was surprised.” But when Scorpion came out last Friday, “March 14” made the cut. “When I heard the album, it all made sense,” T-Minus says. “They weren’t sure [if they wanted to use the record] because of the press around Pusha-T and what he said about Drake.” “I wonder what if Pusha-T never would have put out that diss – how much more of an impact would this song have had?” Valle adds. “He’s the bad guy now. He ruined how I could have taken in my favorite artist’s life-altering moment.”
Jul 6, 2018 Forgot to post the back half of the story but it adds a little more context @Boos - March 14 beat was made in January according to T-Minus - Malik told Kanye the beef "didn't need to happen" after Daytona/Infared dropped
Jul 6, 2018 dude needs to air it out. if he's not gonna drop his ether then at least interview that s---.
Jul 6, 2018 Imagine being one of those hipster nerds that said “he’s hiding a child” for weeks only to find this out lmao.
Jul 6, 2018 Even if he did an interview we probably wouldn't get anything more than what we got on the album. J Prince robbed us of Kanye's demise
Jul 6, 2018 Find what out? That he recorded a song months ago, but what waiting for the perfect time to capitalize off his own kid lol
Jul 6, 2018 Capitalize? My dude... it’s drake lol. Drake doesn’t need some baby reveal to make sales lol. Drake always gives fans updates about where he is in his life on his projects.
Jul 8, 2018 So what I gather from this article is that March 14th is actually dedicated to Fortnite. Playing Fortnite that night reminded him of how much more fun he would be having playing Fortnite with his son rather than a grown a--- adult named Ninja. So he went and recorded a song asking for his son to come home and play Fortnite. So as I predicted before Scorpion was released, this album is based around Fortnite.
