DJ Mustard has revealed that he originally created the beat for “IDFWU” with Justin Bieber in mind, but the record ultimately found its way to Big Sean instead. Released in 2014 as the lead single from Dark Sky Paradise, the song became one of Big Sean’s biggest hits, reaching the Top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning multi platinum certifications, and selling well over 10 million units worldwide through combined sales and streaming. It’s one of the best examples of how a beat can take an entirely different path and end up defining another artist’s career.

Green Day’s “Warning” arrived in 2000 with a riff that sounded very familiar to fans of The Kinks. More than 30 years earlier, The Kinks had released “Picture Book” on their 1968 album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, built around a distinctive recurring guitar riff that bears a striking resemblance to the one driving “Warning.” The similarity never became a major legal dispute, but Kinks guitarist Dave Davies has joked publicly that Green Day “ripped off” their song. Whether it was deliberate inspiration or simply two bands landing on a similar idea, it became another example of The Kinks’ influence reaching a new generation of rock music.

In February 2014, Kevin Parker was deep in isolation at The Wave House, the remote studio he bought to fully immerse himself in the making of Currents Tame Impala’s most successful album to date. The studio footage from that time captures him crafting every sound, beat, and lyric entirely on his own. Parker has always embraced the full creative burden, preferring to control every aspect of the music-making process from songwriting to production believing that solitude brings out his purest ideas. Currents stands as a testament to that obsessive, all-in approach. #musichistory #musicproduction #trackly #guessthesong
