The concept was brought to Dylan and Malone by a Woodstock, New York-based producer named Michael Cash, who, inspired by 2014\u2019s <i>Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes<\/i> (for which Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, and others set previously unreleased Dylan lyrics to music), envisioned a similar suite of unrealized tunes brought to life by hip-hop artists such as Malone, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake (\u201cBob loves Drake,\u201d he noted).<\/p>\n<p>            With both artists amenable, Cash told <i>Rolling Stone<\/i> that Dylan sent Malone the lyrics to an unsung track titled \u201cBe Not Deceived,\u201d a piece that dealt with \u201ca loss of innocence\u2026 [and] what people are going through \u2014 disfranchised, kind of leaderless masses of children with no parent or guardian or shepherd or anything. It talked about going out and making your own way.\u201d Cash also described the writing to <i>RS<\/i> as \u201chonestly\u2026 poetry\u201d and said that when he read them to Malone over the phone, \u201cPost was literally in tears.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Per Cash, Malone came out to his studio \u2014 \u201ca super fucking bed and breakfast for rock stars\u201d \u2014 to record \u201cBe Not Deceived,\u201d but only got about halfway through (more like 40 percent, he estimates).  \u201cWe got the stenciling done, he got some colors in, but he definitely wasn\u2019t finished,\u201d Cash told <i>RS<\/i>. \u201cIt needed flair. It needed more layers. It wasn\u2019t a complete piece of music, but it was definitely a song. It had a beginning, a middle, and an end. There was a bridge, there was a chorus. It just needed to be finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            After that initial session, Cash said he was unable to wrangle Malone to return to his studio, and Dylan\u2019s people got impatient, eventually retracting the lyrics. Without going into detail about the circumstances surrounding the track\u2019s dissolution, Cash described the episode as a fever dream. \u201d[It\u2019s like] we all died in the pandemic,\u201d he lamented. \u201cThis isn\u2019t real. Because it just started off as, honestly, sitting around and saying something, and it was a good idea, and it just didn\u2019t turn out to be one of those ideas that actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Post Malone declined <i>Rolling Stone<\/i>\u2019s request for comment. The FADER has also reached out to a representative of Malone for clarification. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-252285\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
