According to the song’s producer, Mike WiLL Made-It, the beat was originally intended for Guwop.<\/p>\n
In an interview with NPR, Mike Will explained how he created the “HUMBLE.” beat with Gucci Mane in mind. “With ‘HUMBLE.,’ I knew that beat was going to capture a moment. It just felt real urgent,” he said. “I made that beat [last year] when Gucci Mane was getting out of jail; I made it with him in mind. I was just thinking, damn, Gucci’s about to come home; it’s got to be something urgent that’s just going to take over the radio. And I felt like that beat was that. I ended up not doing it with Gucci and I let Kendrick hear it. I was thinking, if Dot gets on this it’ll be his first time being heard on some[thing] like this.”<\/p>\n
Kendrick insisted on letting Mike Will keep “HUMBLE.” for his Ransom 2 project before his team elected to use the record for his album DAMN.<\/strong> <\/p>\n “So I thought, ‘Let me see if Dot f—ing with it.’ And he heard the beat and he liked it,” recalled Mike Will. “But he was about to give me ‘HUMBLE.’ for [my album] Ransom 2. I love that song so I was like, ‘Man, hell yeah.’ Then he told me that his team was saying he should keep it. And I told him, ‘Bruh, you definitely should keep it, and you should use it as your single.'”<\/p>\n Good decision. Now, “HUMBLE” is the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Can you imagine hearing Gucci’s voice over the HUMBLE beat?
