Can this be confirmed ?

But “We Are Young” almost never happened for Fun. Kanye loved Bhasker’s hypnotic beat and nearly included his and Jay-Z’s own version on 2011’s Watch the Throne. Ultimately, Kanye and Jay decided to drop the song and it was back in Fun’s lap, poised to change their lives forever.

Drake wanted it, but only Ye could do it justice

supposed to go to travis

40 produced, believe this was going to be for drake at first

Both officially released lmao I don’t know the story

I can definitely see why it being too poppy was the reason they passed on it

thank f***ing god it didnt make it

Trophys by Drake was Donald Glovers first and he wrote 3005 over the beat

Originally for Prince

A lot of Justified was supposed to be for Michael Jackson

this comment made me nauseous

Meant for Janet Jackson

Tyler said the beat for Who Dat Boy was originally meant for Q but Q rejected it for whatever reason

Holy f*** i had this snippet pushed in the back of my mind i havent heard it in YEARS

J cole had this one before Nas

It wasn't the Tay Keith one

See you again by Tyler was for some pop person

Find your love was for ri

Live fast die young

And all your fault

Originally ye's.

Smuckers was for WTT

??????

Would have been a classic song

The Truth was meant for DMX

proof?

I’ll never forgive wiz for letting this beat go to some random I can’t even remember to post his version
