You know Dot changed the game when he got paparazzi going after Alchemist lmao
FR!
He one of the best if not the best producers out tf u mean lmao
@@haystacksniperrthe point is he’s being brought out in the spotlight casual fans never heard of him, hell Dj quik don’t even get recognized like that most people only know metro boomin,Kanye, Dre and DJ drama
@@haystacksniperryeah, I don’t think TMZ is out there trying to track down folks like The Alchemist usually 😂
I never thought one day ill see Alchemist on tmz 😂😂😂
Uncle Al popped out at the Benny The Butcher show in Vegas a couple months ago and that was so fucking dope. Legend.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please Dot, put this moment on wax
for me meet the grahams was the killshot in this beef, obviously not like us is great but kenny is beating a dead man at that point, but for me.
i was giving drake his props until meet the grahams.
that haunting beat with dear adonis opening line, nothing floored me more.
ok maybe the end shot of kendrick and his family in the not like us video, that was crazy too.
A man dancing with his family was crazy to you?
Oh yeah
That TMZ Reporter def googled Alchemist to know what he look like lol.
He’s a magician, he don’t have time to reveal his tricks….bars!!!
He's a Sorcerer 🧙🏽♂️
Why sorcerer?
@@_VISION. lmao seriously
@@mcbdllc2848 ain't that just a magician with a hat?
As a producer having a monicker named The Alchemist is so fire
Cause he's a beast and has been doing it since mobb deep
He's The Alchemist cuz he always cooks
No it’s not
@@yeetrepublic9142 and bc his name is Alan
@@OVOGeraldstop doing tricks on it
Alchemist has been in the game for decades. One of the best to do it!
Facts fernando
That part 👏🏽👏🏽💯
facts
He’s mid😭
@@OVOGerald Say "O.V.-hoe" and step this, step that way" or is it "the other vaginal option", Gerald?
Folks forget that LA-native Alchemist was a big part of that East Coast hip-hop sound from the mid 90's to the late 00's.
On God!
For real man I used to think he was from the east coast at first but later found out he was from LA which was surprising to me because he has that east coast style of beats but regardless he is one of the greatest producers of all time.
He from L.A?
Wait, he isn't a NYC native?
Didnt know that thx for the hip hop knowledge
Alchemist seems like a cool dude. Kendrick made that beat truly terrifying. Certified boogeyman stuff with MTG
fr hes a really nice guy and im a bad artist but alchemist would be a great producer if i worked with him
Mid the grahams was trash
@@OVOGerald That's not nice. Why are you trashing his family for, I thought you were a fan of him?
@@OVOGeraldbro you’re everywhere 😂
Certified Boogeyman stuff 🤓🤝
Love when producers enjoy each other's beats.
As a producer I think I speak for everyone when I say mid the grahams was trash
😂@@OVOGerald
@@OVOGeraldare you speaking as a producer or as a member of the owl defense force??
@@OVOGerald sure thing, "OVOGerald"
@@loopseekerowl defence force 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Shoutouts alchemist. That demented ass beat he cheffed up stomped out drakes banger record. Not many producers could’ve pulled that off…
Mid the grahams was trash tho 😭
@@OVOGerald sorry but I can’t take a dude with OV HO in his name serious. Peace bro
@@stillscrimmaging283plus he is literally reacting in each comment lol haha OVHOE bot
@@Apexapee drake bots going out sad smhhh
He a real hip hop producer
Damn he was really cool and patient with this guy. Alchemist seem cool asf
Alchemist been around since the golden age of hip-hop/rap.. A real 🐐
It’s beautiful to see Alchemist still getting the love he deserves in a whole different era.
That knowing nod at 1:00 😅 what a moment!
@@OVOGerald You been in every comment crying, calling someone else a meat rider is WILD 🤣 It's okay lil bro take it on the chin just like BBL Drizzys nuts and move on 🤪
@@OVOGeraldwhat
Alc like yuuup😂
I would love an animated meet the grahams video
I been having ideas of just that 😂
Al made my favorite instrumental of all time: Scottie Beam - Freddie Gibbs
That beat feels like nostalgic luxury in heaven
with rick ross?
Same one @@xenothekami888. Nice beat. That whole Gibbs & Alchemist record was fire. Babies and Fools and Something To Rap About were my favourite
Peep "To All of You" by RJD2
No asucar by Earl sweatshirt that shit make you feel an emotion you don’t have
I love that everyone is so excited about hip hop the producers artist and people everyone just enjoying the moment .
absolute legend
legendary producer
Top 5 producer alltime. Hardest working producer right now..
Dr. Dr, DJ Premier, DJ Quik, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Scott Storch, Pharrell (Neptunes) etc. etc. etc.
@dlkc2000 scott starch is not better than Alchemist at all you must not know the catalog or even seen his past 5 yr run..
@@ryankellzafter all those Producers he listed, dont go after just Scott. Because Storch is definitely up there, and he's most certainly one of the hardest working today.
@@dlkc2000No way you said Swizz Beatz 😂😂
@poetiks NOBODY works harder than alchemist except maybe hitboy. Look at his last 5 yrs of work..
In other words, Kendrick is dropping an album, but I think Drake is going to try to step on it by dropping one as well. Just my theory.
Kendrick definitely dropping an album. It’s the perfect moment and I highly doubt Drake will do that. Drake needs to let the year ride out and comeback next year.
That will be the nail in the coffin if Drake does and gets outsold by Kendrick
Drake cannot do a thing to step on the moment. Not one thing.
@@neilthompson8027 I agree he’d be better off by acting like this never happened lol. He can only dig himself in a deeper hole if he attempts to step on dots album
Yea good luck with that because at this point Kendrick’s train is rolling. Ain’t no stepping on nothing🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
alchemist seems like such a dope ass chill dude
Met The Alchemist at Supreme in downtown LA back in late 2022. you don’t get more humble or down to earth than that guy.
Al is one of the best producers of all time
This guy is so down to earth it's unreal😂😂😂 Type of guy to leave a homeless man a dollar and help an old lady across the street. What a real one looks like
Alchemist is a legend in the game, Drake fans probably never heard of him lol
😂 this is funny but true
to be fair, alchemist produced wicked man for drake. so i think hes rlly just fucking around lmao.
Kendrick the GOAT 🐐
Al so chill.
This is how you be a TMZ person. Nice Calm Collective let dude answer and take his time. Shoutout this camera dude forreal
ALchemist was so handsome in his prime ❤ he is one of the most talented hip hop producers in the game 🙌🏾
A respectable TMZ snippet
The fact the paparazzi even knew who the alchemist was is a huge win for the culture
Damn can you believe the excitement is still going strong? If it wasn't the best time for everything. If this was winter instead, I just don't know how things could've turned out. Gives new meaning to "sizzling summer."
Shoulda asked him what his initial thoughts were upon hearing what Dot did with the MTG instrumental. Was he as shocked as all of us?
Uncle Al is chilling. He represented for the culture.
Schoolboy Qs favourite producer
Kendrick enjoys making music, but the best part is being able to just come n go as u. Please enjoy your family, where Drake signs that 400 million deals his daddy not going let him take a break want that money back n just lost 5 million betting on hockey game dude have bad gambling problem going be vegas soon chain to resort singing his old hits sooner than later
At the end of September 2013 I was in a club in NYC and saw The Alchemist who basically looked the same as here lol but in a club. At the beginning of September 2013 I saw Kendrick Lamar live for for the first time. I didn't even know he produced the record until watching this, I just never cared to check I guess. Now I hear it, but The Alchemist has produced a lot better. Even he didn't seem to expect this to be a hit though.
This Guy is Genius I salute him. The hip hop producer for me.
Wow The Alchemist on TMZ...2024 shit
ALC, fuckin legend.
Nobody was ready for All eyes on me , nobody expecting k dot right now but when it comes , it’s wrap
Shoutout to this TMZ reporter not being a dick and getting Alchemist to talk candid.
You know he’s already a vet in this business cz his mood is like “why am i being interviewed i got beats in this car to work on” but still gracious👍
All I can say is THE 5 FOOT GIANT woke up out of sleep
This is what it’s like when a bug attempts to communicate with a human being
Interviewer goofy as hell🤦🏼♂️
Facts
Top 2 all time...Uncle Al & Dilla
ALCEMIST IS A ❤🐐💯🥶🔥
Love this dude work. Everytime I see him online he’s usually with action Bronson this different lol!
Alchemist A hip Hop legend
my favorite producer of all time Uncle AL!
For once, a tmz video about someone cool
The F-N GOAT Uncle AL🙌🏽
Alchemist cool af
Alchemist's piano keys sound like the soundtrack of a paralysis demon. 💀
Also, GOATed Producer 🐐
“He’s a magician he don’t got time to reveal his tricks to me” dope nod to a Gemini 0:56
Get this man a joint!!!!
Right
Wow an actual good line of questions and not heckling people…good job tmz
I’m surprised ppl ain’t know who Alchemist was, y’all gotta listen to some action bronson. Beats are nasty
ALC
🐐
I think an animated visual would've been more fitting for "Meet The Grahams".
Be careful guys! Drake is in the studio right now! He’s making an album too!!! And it’s bar mitzvah approved!
Ya all remember the alchemist was featured in kenny album DAMN. song FEAR.
Peace to Al....One of the greatest humans and beat producer. I see my boy Dj Mishaps n there lol
Uncle Al, diction buttery
Those were some good questions
Alchemist is a dope producer
FEAR. and Cry Together are two of the bravest Kendrick tracks and Alch was behind both 👑 That said, to state the obvious, the best Alch collaborators will always be Mobb Deep and Prodigy (RIP)
American music forms: Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented African American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly..
Latinos -- Puerto Ricans particularly -- please explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements of the 14 or so African American music forms that predated it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of African American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so African American music forms that are mentioned above yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and claim you co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by Dr. Derrick Colon, Fat Joe and numerous un-informed latinos---claims you all never mentioned or verbalized during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly becoming scrutinized and debunked--widespread.
Make it make sense Latinos.
I see alchimiste remember Bordeaux i mean 2019or2020 good show
I have a prediction! Drake will hunt down one Al’s ex girlfriends instagram and passionately hit follow! 😂
Black chip digital hum successfully ending road ahead... hired v barr
Bro!!! Read the body language… he clearly was in a rush and didn’t want that many questions… respect the art and the guru please! Respectfully, sincerely best rapper in CT
This man singlehandedly made the most terrifying hip hop beat of the modern era. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being used in a horror movie trailer.
I got to meet Alchemist awhile back at a Evidence show in Hollywood. He’s a real cool dude. I still have his autograph.
A meet the grahams video will too crazy for the internet
The music vid will probably be all the receipts they got on Drake 🤣💀😤💯😂😭
That beat is creepy as hell! Imagine listening to it in TENERIFE 😂😂😂
I love when Kendrick is mysterious.
So underrated
Truly is 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
probably the worst rap beef song ever recorded. + the beat is depressing and cringe
Alchemist has been doing his thing for years. He's on a historic run, just like Kendrick
Alchemist has one of the dopest beats on, Hold You Down feat. the late , Prodigy
Alchemist is a magician, when he makes music with Curren$y you'll know its gonna be fire
Al Al Al Al Alchemist 💯👊🏿
I honestly didn’t know who he was up until him and Action Bronson started hanging out on his show F$&k that’s delicious.
I wonder how Drake feels, considering he got sent some beats by the alchemist on all the dogs. I hope he's not gonna be all petty and shit considering Al is just doing what he does as a producer. Also damn this video feels so forced.
We got paparazzi chasing Al before RDR3😭
Finally a "celebrity" I actually care about. Al has been one of the most consistent producers of all time
Alchemist is a hustle, he said he is about to send Kendrick some more beats when he gets home...lol 🤣😂😅😆💯
Curren$y’s covert coup is what put me on to this legend. Great producer!
Madlib & Alchemist are two of the best producers alive after Dilla left.
The fact he found out the same way we all did must’ve been a crazy feeling for him, as legendary as he already is.
Paparazzi on Alchemist is something interesting to see in 2k24
