KENNY BEATS + ALCHEMIST + BOLDY JAMES FREESTYLE | The Cave: Season 2 - Episode 10

- Alright enough of the experimental shit. Enough of the funny art kid shit, we get it. Have you heard of real hip hop? We do that here. We value bars on The Cave. This week, we’re joined by Detroit artist Boldy James and producer legend Alchemist. Unfortunately, Alchemist forgot his flux capacitor at home and his particle accelerator is still undergoing repairs in Geneva. We were hoping he could at least bring in his quantum computer from Zurich...but apparently if it is extracted from the dilution refrigerator and exposed to temperatures above 1 degree Kelvin, you can forget about initializing any kind of meaningful qubit sequence. This is all to say that he could not participate in the beat-making process per se, but he was able to identify the presence of Ron Artest’s spirit in the acoustic panels of the studio walls. Meanwhile Boldy, feeling philanthropic, offers up what we thought would be a four-bar giveaway to one lucky raffle winner. I even entered the sweepstakes myself in sweaty desperation, given the current bar drought wreaking havoc on the environment. Thankfully, when he does enter the booth, we get much more than we were promised, a surplus of bars in fact. And just like in Mad Max: Fury Road, when Immortan Joe releases the water onto the peasants of the desert wasteland below, the bars rain down on us. The Price Of Tea In China is available to stream everywhere.

Kenneth’s cave sounds like a cooking show for single dads
Kenneth's Cavern
Juiceman hey guys I’m with my buddy Steve and we’re making churros!
He looks like Brad from Bon Appetit
"I'm with my guy Vincent and today, we're going to make soul food!"
Nahh sounds like 3 dudes watching Kenny tune his car in front of them
You think your slick bringing your dad on the show and calling him “Alchemist”
SwayWay Hoax DEAD AHAHAHAHHAAHA
Dude looks like a Handy man.
Tigbemileke Ojo And yet he’s one of the greatest of all time, along with Dilla, Preem, Madlib
michael mata yes ik I was just making a joke
Niru Sivakumar S’not a compressor. Did you not hear the effect?
i know kenny nervous with the god of sampling sitting right behind him lmao
Sada Baby: *IM DONE*
lol “I hate this feeling”
j dilla wasnt behind him
Black Sutra wow he really is huh
I don't see madlib in there
Alchemist look like that uncle that asks: “you hit it raw yet?”
underrated comment, big W

This is like taking an exam with the teacher standing right behind you.
deadass
I'm 1k like on your comment. that feels good
Perfectly put.
Alchemist has that school janitor energy
oh my god lmfao
lmao never been a more accurate comparison
Lmao at school there was a cool ass janitor who caught me skipping and smoking and he told me to find another spot cus teachers were coming 😂That day was almost worth going to school 😂
Grounds Keepee Willie vibes
ChiefBroccoli 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*Rapper stays in the cave for 2 seconds after they done rapping”
Kenny: Bro you need to come out of both right now
Alfonso G bc he the police
Alfonzo🤣🤣🤣
You're done dude
Zack Fox scarred Kenny for life
U reaching. Congrats on the useless likes tho
alchemist standing the whole time truly captures his essence
Anthony T he’s funny as hell too
That’s wild lol
Anthony T lmao chocolate baby famous 😤
lol him on Action Bronsons show is hilarious too he definitely has some 'different' vibes going
He don’t ever sit in his own studio even, all the pics I seen of him making beats he’s standing
after this I wanna see Westside Gunn or just the whole of Griselda on here.
Kenny could easily make a beat for them too, that’d be dope to see 3 rapper in the booth too
we need mach hommy
@@CheapDrugs u speakin facts
Get Griselda + Mach Hommy in the booth
@@dittot Mach ain’t never doin this😂I don’t even see the other Griselda members doin this show, maybe benny would do it.
Low key want to see Action Bronson in the cave 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
100%
He freestyles crazy because whatever he’s working on he isn’t scared to say on camera. Last 2 albums were in his tv show before they were out...he’s also funny asf
Imagine him being there and not saying one word to Kenny.
yesss
high key*
Now Kenny's got the Madlib cosign AND the Alchemist cosign, all jokes aside he's a legendary producer in the making
What Madlib cosign?
Sam Rainnie he played unlocked for madlib and madlib just bopped his head and hugged him
ICU ViZioN where’d he say that?
@@samrainnie2104 During Sway's interview with Kenny and Denzel, he mentioned getting to play some music for Madlib and that he was fucking with the songs off Unlocked
Kenny one of the best.
Kenny needs to start mic'ing up his guests, you can barely hear them. Or at least release the audio from the wire he wears.
😭 I’m dead lol
Bro
You can hear them perfectly fine Whatchu mean????? But lowkey that wire joke is funny as hell haha
kill 😂😂
Christian Cardiel pretty sure it was a build up to that but
love how boldy says "i'm feelin pretty good man, lets get it" all nicely and then spits the grimiest shit ever
Kenny giving Al weed and energy drinks, youre gonna give this old man a stroke
nah he just got the jitters
Al always blunted wym jajajaja
al can outsmoke most
420th like yeahh
Time for some history lessons
Kenny Beats - "I know you didn't bring me a sample, you came here with nothing"
The Alchemist - "I must of left my sample pants... i got the wrong pants....holy shit" 🤣🤣🤣
Sampler*, Al usually works with a huge ass MPC that clearly wouldn't fit in those pants lol
@@heftylad we know, it's a joke, he was being sarcastic 🤦🏾🤣
Sample pants… I tried a pair on a couple years back but they didn’t fit… if they did now I probably rock em out then use em for work pants
I found a pair of sample pants on clearance…
@@thurdysixo nice
WE NEED SCHOOLBOY Q AND HIS DAUGHTER IN THE CAVE
I feel like that would be one of the best shows tbh
Treyvon Diggs that’s actually a really good idea
Appreciate it 🤞🏾
Treyvon Diggs haha I second that Q and his daughter are golden they deserve a show I would watch it a gazillion time's
#Tshenolo_lives right✊🏾
*Ab Soul
Bruh u need to get JID in the cave. This beat would get murdered by him
Disintegrated*
Kenny Beats produced the first part of Stick Talk for JID so it’s possible....
@@daeshonfields1402 dat beat switch stopped my heart the first time I heard it
JID ft 6lack would be 🔥
@@quise5367 yes bro, speak this legendary collab into existence!!!
You should get Eric Andre and Hanibal Burress on the Cave. They've been talking about making music for a while. Plus it'd be funny as hell.
FUCKING FACTS
Eric has that Blarf record on Stones Throw btw.
@chubbyurma he's probably down for some ranch though
Storms02 we love it but we hate it
kenny on the Eric Andre Show would be smth too
People stayyy sleeping on boldy, his album with al is one of the best albums so far this year
I just started getting into him and Griselda and Price of Tea in China probably rap album of the year imo
@@jjones7699 Heck yeah, have you checked out Conway's album Reject 2? Probably my favorite in that realm
Ross I’ve only checked out WWCD, this Boldy album and the new Westside album. But feel free to give me recommendations
@@jjones7699 Conway: Reject 2, LULU Benny: Tana Talk 3, Plugs I Met Westside: Hitler Wears Hermes 2-5-6-7, Supreme Blientele. The Alchemist dropped 2 sick tapes of tracks w/ the Griselda crew along with other underground rappers titled Lunch Meat, and Bread.
Ross this gives me hella to listen to while I’m at work thank you 😂🔥‼️‼️
My favorite part of the episode is how alchemist wasn’t there
??????????????????????????
Damn my b lol
@@Biznissreal buggin lmao
@YASHUA ben DaviD ?
@@DMVGREY Yall dont understand it its some producer shit 😂😂 he was checking the acoustic walls but yeah he outta pocket for that
Officer, the streets need a Kenny beats x Griselda episode
J I Facts
i have a slight feeling like gunn is going to be like kanye when he was telling pusha t how to write his verse on runaway. “more grit... I NEED MORE GRIT!!”
That has to happen!!
Chandler Rayson maybe if it’s your first time listening, his voice is an acquired taste bro
fucking PLEASEEEEE
Remember guys, this isn’t the real kennybeats, the real kennybeats is trapped in Kenny’s computer with Denzel Curry
Shit you right kenny free kenny rn
#freekenny
Natalya Rones ayo you’re a god
100% canon.
The real Kenny is sitting behind a desk at your local police department
nobody gonna talk about how fire boldy's rap was
I’m saying
It’s cause we expect nothing but the best from boldy and the chemist
prodTRNC - No, because it goes without saying.
Shit was insane
It’s creature
I love how Alc was pissed when Kenny put the pre-made drum loop over the sample 😂😂too quick for him
Alchemist goin harder than the spongebob theme song
Suresh416 you right you right
harder than the mario kart 8 deluxe soundtrack.
Harder than the krusty crab trap song
at what point do you see him rap?
wait what??
FYI his new replacement for rc-20 he's covering up is wavesfactory's Cassette
ayyy lessgetit
lmao
Knew I could trust on the comments. You the lifeblood of this community lmao
🙏🏼💪🏼

Rapper: “How was that?”
Officer Kenny: “Come out of the booth with your hands up right now!”
Arcade Avengers he takes his job seriously
🤣🤣
Sir Cheats A Lot he’s always on patrol
Kenny Beats is the police
Lmfao
ALC - "VST?"
Kenny - "Yea.."
ALC - "ok we'll talk later.."
🤣🤣🤣
what did he mean it.? doesnt alc use vst?
@@erman_ I'm pretty sure he uses it.. that's why he said ok we'll talk later as if it was top secret 😄
@@erman_ There's many different kinds of VST, for example, Nexus, Omnisphere, Keyscape. The one Kenny was being secretive about is an alternative to RC-20, another VST.
Kenny didn't wanna show his audience whatever VST it is so I'm guessing he was gonna tell Alc off camera about it. I'm really curious what VST it is
@@aKidNamedBrady pretty sure its Cassette
@@aKidNamedBrady cassette by wavesfactory
The Alchemist- "See he don't know about the tricks. Everybody has there own tricks, see you got your own tricks, I know you do, let me see what you got in here"
Kenny Beats - "Stop, you don't even know what this is, this is ableton"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Bro madlib on the show as quasi would be the sickest episode
Zeshawn Zinneh i would kill for that episode
th-cam.com/video/p97RbcpDm50/w-d-xo.html
I would literally pay to see that
You wanna see madlib tripping mushies with kenny haha
Madlib isn’t even real he’s just a figment of our imaginations
Alchemist lookin like he ready to fix kenny’s plumbing and roof
When Alchemist said “i dont even know myself, i tell the _police_ i dont even know myself” he was lowkey talkin about kenny.
lol officer kenny
Rotfl
7:01
The plugin he blocks out at 5:08 is cassette by wavesfactory
bless, i knew someone would know it
my man bless up
of course your name bobby 💀
And y’all called kenny the police 🥴
Thanks, I really hoped someone would post it lll
Mac Miller would’ve been perfect for this.. rip 😞
I didn’t need this comment making me sad for the next hour .. I didn’t need this
BRO THIS IS FACTS!
:(
Damnnnnn. Gotta go cry now
Man it would have easily been the best episode of the cave. Mac had the best energy
Office Kenny, I am an agent with Internal Affairs giving you notice that you are currently under investigation for illegal seizure of the Isaiah Rashad Cave Episode. Release this illegally held episode or there will be legal ramifications
Jared Daneman I think the episode was so hard he's saving it for the season finale
FUCKING YEEEESSSS I WANT THAT FUCKING EPISODE IVE BEEN SAYING THAT SHIT FOR WEEKS ON END
th-cam.com/video/p97RbcpDm50/w-d-xo.html
chubbyurma TDE wouldnt do that
th-cam.com/video/1vcvsALoaLc/w-d-xo.html
We need BENNY The Butcher on this 🚫🧢
th-cam.com/video/p97RbcpDm50/w-d-xo.html
woah benny
I got good news
@@530Zeno seen that, didn’t disappoint
alchemist really came in the studio just to watch over his pupil lmao.
Always be there for the bro
Alchemist the type of producer who makes beats that gangstas get shanked to but is afraid of eating raw oyster without his white wine.
Gangstas get shanked to 🤓
ALC - "I feel a little gitterty, but I feel compelled to drink more.."
Kenny - "That's like 4 cups of coffee" 🤣🤣🤣
@Daniel Williams some type of energy drink I guess
yerba mate
Alchemist: You don't know *(Fancy Audio Equipment)*
Me: 808 make boom
lil memory card those were made up things not real vsts lol
The fancy audio equipment hes talking about is actually just an old sub amp that youd use in a car, i see em going for like $100 on ebay. Not sure if he was making a joke, or possibly thats some secret sauce to run audio thorough? Im leaning towards it being a joke?
Oscillator go weeeeeee
The joke really went over your head huh
@@ambedo_bass He's probably deadass serious. A lot of producers from Analog days had to get creative in how they Sound Designed sounds, engineers too.
If someone wanted to NOT use Reverb but wanted a sound to not be as present in the Mix they'd Re-Amp (Re-Record the sound) into a Hallway, then add it back into the mix and layer it back in with the OG signal. Now they have ambiance without reverb clutter.
I rambled a lil but its just to show that unconventional methodicalness isn't new, but just different (Now VS Then)
We need alchemist to come back and do an episode by himself. But he makes the beat and kenny raps
Kenny : Aris block out the VST
Aris : *blocks out everything but the VST*
Do you know What vst It is?
@@TiBGW2 lmao god dammit
@@rockandroller34 bastards 🤣🤣 figured it out
@@TiBGW2 you a G
No its blackmail vst
Boldly James: You got that fiber optic shit because I’m known to melt a wire or two😂
That’s a bodega bamz line
That’s a Beanie Sigel line from “The Truth”
@@Upintheclub1991 lmao what?
He looked so happy when he said that lmaooo
Boldy: "What kinda wiring you got?"
Kenny: ...?
Boldy:"Do you got that fibre optic shit? Cos you know Im known to melt the wiring"
😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Must admit I’m sad Alchemist didn’t do any producing on this episode, still love u Kenny
I'm honestly upset at how far I had to scroll through these comments to find this. It was a bummer that Alc didn't do anything, and it straight up makes the title of this episode clickbait.
@UC0-YD9SAhj1mOwHUR97oDDA I mean he works a lot w/ samplers and other external gear so it wouldn't have been too hard to incorporate him into the process regardless. To be fair to Kenny, they did allude to Alc having forgotten to bring a sampler, so it might've been Alc's fault that the collaboration between those two fell through.
Y’all don’t think al gave him that sample? Bc I do
Robbie Pantoja yeah Al always be playing around. I bet he had the sample
Robbie Pantoja that sample came from an Origin Sound pack on splice I know the creator
nobody:
Officer Kenny Beats: "bro come out the booth, bro you need to come out the booth right now"
Imagine producing something in front of Alchemist and getting the approval,, 💥🔨
We need Da$H up in the cave !!!
"I must've left my sample pants"
no one:
Kenny: “bro come out the booth”

officer kenny always on patrol
i really hope THAT yerba mate brand is sponsoring you homie.
no lie those things are 3 dollars a can lmao
ngl i bought some after always seeing them in the videos lol
Eric Tea I think he owns part of the company or at least stocks in it. He has something to do with it for sure tho.
@@Jayschwift bruh same

Damn right, I bet Her doesn't really care about Music as much as most would believe and He's got a lot of other stuff to get cash or He's just got a lot laying around on the side
CAN WE GET MICK JENKINS ON THE CAVE?!
J.I.D MAYBE?
LUPE?!
Matthew Wilson we alr got jid
Mick would be craaaaazy
@@remyhanna5826 jid aint been on the cave.
*Knocking On Kenny's wall*
" I feel like the spirit of Ron Artest is in here"
-Al 2020
Evan Brownlee I came looking for this😂😂
Funny how I got to this comment the moment he said that lol
Why the audio sound like they’re inside a plastic cup
Probs so no one can steal it and call it a track
*OKAY BUT WHERE THAT ISAIAH RASHAD EPISODE AT THO I KNOW HE BEEN IN THE CAVE, WHEN KENNY, WHEEEEN?!*
Probavly when his new album promotions start
veseli klosar good answer
veseli klosar he leaked another track on live, and tweeted bout his album being done so it should be coming soon
alchemist - "i want you to produce boldy james im just a fly on the wall"
kenny - *drags loops from user library*
Genuinely ashamed he went full Splice working with Al in the studio. Apply yourself Kenneth
@dozy boy "theres a lot more to production than just the samples." that literally re-proved my point bro.
Uses non copyrighted samples so the video doesn't get blocked by umg
ollielife1 u act as if hip hop production isn’t traditionally based in samples, why does it matter where he gets from if it’s good
@@amaokoro7000 breh i used to use loops in ninth grade this nigga in the studio with alchemist using loops LMFAO
"The Price of Tea in China" is album of the year so far and Alchemist is top 3 producer OF ALL TIME
RZA, Preemo, Dre, Dilla, Madlib all better and produced on numerous more classics, but no doubt Alc is a legend his own right. If we're talking longevity though he's gotta be up there, Mach-Hommy - Chiney Brush best beat of last year and he's currently holding AOTY 2020
@@bonapresmidi Dre had help ever since Chronic. I don't hold him in my top 5. Same reason for Kanye. I can only have RZA and Premier above him. Alc's output has never slouched. The amount of classics he gave artists is only 2nd to 92-98 RZA and the Wu solos. IMO Covert Coup is still the best produced album last decade. Only competition being [insert a Kanye album here], Atrocity Exhibition, or Pinata/BANDANA
Kenny needs to get YBN Cordae or J.I.D on this show one of these days
6:04 Kenny looked like he was about to cry with that comment
lmao bro was ecstatic .
who the fuck wouldnt be tho tbf !
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR TOO MANY DAMN DAYS KENNETH

6:00 This is the happiest moment of Kenny's life
5:00 when Al started shaking his head I could feel Kenny's fear in my body 😂😭😭
I still don't know what Al's doin
there shakin his head both wayz
Since we got alchemist that means that kenny should be able to summon the god of the freestyle. Action Bronson into the booth
Boldy James has been going hard years and this recent project with the alchemist is one of the best so far this year for sure, glad to see him on here
That album started on of the craziest runs in rap ever IMO. He’s unmatched
“PLAYIN HARD BALL BUT I STILL PITCH IT UNDERHANDED” 🤦🏽♂️🔥
"*taps wall* I feel like the spirit of Ron Artess is in here" top ten alchemist quotes lmfao
yo whys no one giving boldy james the credit he deserves in these comments man, this was so dope
Boldy sound like if Joe Budden and Freddie Gibbs had a love child.
You a fool😂😂
😂🤣😉I get the reference but boldy is a beast
That's 4 Detroit artists on the Cave this season. Kenny wasn't lying when he said he had his ear locked in on Detroit like 2 years ago
4:58 that's cassette from wavesfactory

SLATT!!! Oooo and it’s cheaper than RC20. Time to cop

5:35 i slick thought Kenny dropped an n bomb lmfaoooo
“I feel like the spirit of Ron Artest is in here.”

Rowan Berkley he did
Rowan Berkley that’s where officer beats got his criminal justice degree
Yeah, but Berklee not Berkeley
“You don’t even know what this is, this is ableton”🤣
The plugin he blocked out is Wavesfactory Cassette and it's fucking ace
