This past weekend marked the 5-year anniversary of the release of Kendrick Lamar‘s second studio album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City.

The TDE release dropped October 2012 and churned out hits like Poetic Jusitce, Swimming Pools, and of course fan favorite B*tch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.

It was recently revealed that K. Dot’s current LP, DAMN, could actually be played backwards and now, TDE founder and Kendrick’s right-hand-man, Punch, is letting us in on some more secrets from the Compton rapper’s GKMC.

In a series of tweet, the TDE President confessed that single ‘Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ was origanaily planned to feature OutKast member Andre 3000. In the tweets, Punch says:

I remember trying to get 3 stacks on “don’t kill my vibe’. He couldn’t catch the vibe lol. He was shooting the Jimi Hendrix movie….

The goal was to make a album in the vein of a Tarantino movie. Where the scenes aren’t in chronological order but it flows cohesively.

Even though ‘Vibe’ never saw the 3000 feature, it was later remixed by New York legend Jay Z.
