@@UCiWrMgES50tlUhV3l6NqjNA ALC still very below ? You bugging. Both are genuises in this thing we call Rap. Dilla got a whole lot more praise after passing. All of sudden it was Dilla this Dilla that. Don't recall many people being on his nuts while he was still here.
He means that he is a hunter in terms of looking for the perfect sample, like when you go and hunt looking for the thickest deer but you also gather some other ones you've already killed for their meat because that is still good meat

This is a powerfully spoken monologue, cut together like this. The cutting-together of his chance (or interview-conjured) remarks is like the cutting together of samples -- wasn't all said in the same moment, but belonged together
There's one called Passion that I hope drops so bad. If you look up the video of Alchemist playing beats for Rick Ross, you can hear it in the very last seconds of the video when the God Forgives I Don't album cover pops up.
I placed this video into my "Wisdom" playlist on TH-cam because that's what this entire video contained. THIS is how you make an inspirational video. If you've ever created a beat, ALC's words unquestionably resonated with you.
I actually met alchemist before about ten years ago this guy is humble in kool, in can hold a convo. Love in respect to my favorite producer on the planet.
The Alchemist > Mass Appeal .. but I'm still gonna hope & pray that we do get a rhythm roulette with our boy Al sooner than later. Also I feel like alchemist on mass appeals rhythm roulette would be the absolute longest video they'd ever do
I still get goosebumps everytime he starts playing his old beats, he really took it all the way back with that Dialated Peoples song from Nba Street Vol. 2. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There are no words that can describe how this video touched me. Wish I could just spend 1 week with this genius in the studio...just watching and learning.
I have this hip hop lab book BACK TO THE LAB and his studio is featured, definitely the creme de la creme right there in simplicity and minimalist style. So many labs tend to be cluttered mess
So beautiful to hear him give a deeper perspective on his process. I’ve seen many interviews of him and he seems quite down to earth and humble. Always lets the artist he’s working with talk more. Thank you so much for this!
what The Alchemist said about records sounding diffrent in the store vs home/studio resonated with me 💯% feel the same way. great content, The alchemist is an inspration!
Bro idk if it was in the music video played on MTV or BET or an actual disc jockey on the radio saying who produced it, but thats how i knew way back when. I even have a mixtape i made back in 2001/2002 with the song title and "(Produced by The Alchemist)" in parentheses on the liner notes that I wrote. I didnt have the internet during that time nor did I own the Jadakiss CD but I somehow knew who produced it. Life before the internet became a necessity.
@@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP actually is referring to being able to recreate your ideas from your mind , and not getting driven by other sounds or mistake melodies by your daw... I think...
This is why ALC still got the sauce. See where Kanye lost it, he didn't realize that he was just a conduit... he wanted all the glory. Everything is energy, we just channel it
Yo man I've been watching Alchemist and Marco Polo videos on how they make beats.....what I love about them is they don't hide anything to us....they don't keep the knowledge for themselves....that's what make the Real GOATS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤞🤞
3:20 i felt that. That is one of my curses. I have drawings I did over 10 years ago that I feel i have to add or change shit whenever I look at them lol. This is why whenever I “finish” a drawing, I analyze it for a while and put it away and refuse to look at it again for a long time..otherwise I can’t let go. Perfection is like poison sometimes
This is the first video I've seen of Alchemist cooking up. I've heard so much about him in the past couple of months and man, this is a legend. It feels so comforting to know that this guy also feels all those things for which I used to curse myself or get pissed about! I wish I could see more of these vids. Anyone knows plz link up!
Look up The Alchemist - Beat Making. I believe theres 3 parts. From the early 2000s when he was in college at NYU. I remember watching that joint after downloading it back in like 2006. It's just him in his little apartment showing off beats, getting interviewed while high & getting high lol.
Beautiful video. When the last part started and the Terry beat came on I heard Bronsolinho in my head "What up, love? I need a hug cause drugs be takin' over, shorty couldn't take it no more she went loca". Salute to Alchemist
3:18 Tascam digital hand recorder plugged in, nice it's handy and fast to record percussion or sum like that if you connect it with a DC 5v USB cable you don't even need batteries in it, it's powered by the computer. don't know exactly which Tascam model is that but I can see that is nice, has 4 XLR lines plus the top standard stereo mics
What a great artist! He focus on the inside, focussing on the outside is unhealthy. Society is like a sock, the seam is on the inside against my foot and the nice soft side is outside to the world. That`s that sock wisdom yo.
Alchemist has one of the craziest ears of all time. If I have to pick 5 producers for an album, he is one of the first to called. Alchemist, 9th Wonder, Madlib, Swizz, Q-Tip
Khronos Beats so tired of hearing people being called goat's... every one is the greatest of all time to someone... (Not disagreeing about Alchemist though haha he is FUCKING amazing)
I finally did it. I made an orchestral piece that I listen to and can’t believe it made. It truly seems beyond me, like something classical from a war movie. This man is an inspiration and the truth 🔥
@@geoffroyclop I gotta figure out my password and shit lol, I’m only on this account on my phone but I’ll try tonight when I get home and I’ll send another reply. It’s not amazing, but it’s beyond my abilities lol
Holy fuckin shit , i had to pause this mid video just to say this is mutha fuckin great ass got damn video. Al droppin knowledge but also speaking to my soul . The production and video footage is all well capture and put together. Thank you for this.
If Al ascended to the galactic plates tomorrow he would be praised like dilla. Appreciate this legend while he is here folks
Facts let's just give him his flowers though

Goosebumps
"There are hunters and gatherers. I'm a hunter."

@@Alva2k aye come on cuh you didn’t have to do him like that 💀💀
Technically he was hunting and gathering at the same time tho if you think about it hah
nah he's on the HUNT for THE record you feel
alchemist is one of the illest producers keeping the boom bap sound alive
Maaan boom bap has so much soul
It's all about the boom bap
I don't take that away from his music. His sound to me is totally different.
I think he’s way beyond that already

"when i get tired, i get mad"
"I wish i could Just never sleep"
I feel that so much

Fuck that I need sleep 😂
Hahahahah
Anyone who gets pissed off about being tired because they want to keep working is someone who is going to be successful. Rethinking life... 😂
Or someone that's gonna die young of a heart attack
Not on Al’s level but I stay up working on a beat knowing my ass was going to be kicked at work the next day, and I just do it for fun.

why do i actually love it when people monologue about the video in the comments lol
Alchemist probably got so much unreleased prodigy tracks
MrPyrex609 you know it

That's crazy cause the last album I purchased had a naked woman on it

Always fire. Lol. No doubt.
Was it you?
he was spot on about that!
was it kanye's album?
its your calling brother :)

i love this. factual
Facts.
ALC is hands down my favorite producers! Him linking up with Mobb Deep was 🔥‼️ Havoc is right up there with him plus he has the lyrics and flow!
I actually met alchemist before about ten years ago this guy is humble in kool, in can hold a convo. Love in respect to my favorite producer on the planet.
Al still one of the few greats left keeping it hip hop.
"We never find it, but that's the whole idea, you keep looking"
Like Einstein searching for the answers of life. Every time he found a revelation it created more holes to search in, an infinite trail
Al is my hero and is 100% the GOAT. everybody's pal
The last track giving me chills
Alchemist talking with the beats at the background was like its a track about to drop
Pure dopeness!!! @Alchemist, can we the people, get a Mass Appeal - Rhythm Roulette episode?
that be dope
We need an Alc podcast... just turn a camera on in his studio there... periscope even or TH-cam LIVE once a week for the kids!!! 👍🏻
a podcast would be mad dope!
The Alchemist > Mass Appeal .. but I'm still gonna hope & pray that we do get a rhythm roulette with our boy Al sooner than later. Also I feel like alchemist on mass appeals rhythm roulette would be the absolute longest video they'd ever do
This is 'his' Rhythm Roulette.
Props to the audio/video engineer/producer (probably 1-2 guys) who mixed this very well. Really well done.
quarantine happened and Al said ok i’m just gonna produce insane amounts of insanely dope music, producer of the year no competition
I still get goosebumps everytime he starts playing his old beats, he really took it all the way back with that Dialated Peoples song from Nba Street Vol. 2. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude is a outright legend.
One of the best Hip Hop producers in the world.
Alchemist...the man that made me give up beat making after I heard " My Way " by Nas...I'm back at it now doe y'all...never give up your passion !!!
LoDaKid Nas "my way" is an incredible record. Nas and alchemist are incredible together. They should of did a collab album.
Check out my beats
Legendary beat idk why Nas chooses Salaam Remi as his producer when he can get AlC or any other hot producers in the game
LoDaKid
TRUTH INDEED NOBLE ✊🏽🇲🇦
@@chris45627 because made you look is a classic that's why! and Salaam is a legendary producer just like Al!
ALC doesn’t need a record, he IS the record. Everything he and Hav creates is 🔥
The way Al speaks about his craft is beautiful
He gives the same energy as his beats. He is his music
The most underrated underappreciated hip hop producers of all time.
fav ALC beats..
360 waves
amen

I could watch ALC in the lab 10 years straight with no food , just water and a lighter.
😂
6:01 when Terry kicks in, i feel like i can die happy. It makes me feel like I've seen it all, no doubt one of the best instrumentals I've ever heard
"Being safe is wack....being safe is corny"

i wonder if he backs up his beats often, prob not huh
timestamp?
Curtis Bowden 5:50
I just dropped a beat on my channel that could be a total hit! Check it:

Israeli Salad is one of the best beat tapes I've ever heard...classic material.
check out digi hendrix vs aesop rock rockstargimmedatbazookatooth remix album.. def got similar vibes on the album
I think Dilla is an avg producer at best. Is there something wrong w me?
@@viktorious11able because you have no soul
Troy uk Nah, that was the magic. Nothing to overthink. Same as Alc. Simple, but full of heart. Not over produced. Great ear for music.

You can tell he still sad over prodigy's death stay strong alchemist💯💯
His drums are so crispy bro
man i love this. he doesn't tell you "do this drum pattern" it's the most conceptual beat video i've seen and it's the most helpful and inspiring too

what a masterpiece
4:34 Knxwledge WE GOT HIM GUYS!
And samiyam as well
amen
These guys (him, Madlib, etc.) are up there with the greatest and not a lot of people know them. It sucks, but it's life.
4:49 Juicy Fruit - Mtume. Iconic drums. Chopped really well but still retaining its original flavor.
Feel like ALC lost part of him now that prodigy is gone. One of the best producer/ rapper duos that ever was.
No Evidence and Alchemist is a match made in Heaven.
This is why ALC still got the sauce. See where Kanye lost it, he didn't realize that he was just a conduit... he wanted all the glory. Everything is energy, we just channel it
Nah kanye got with kim. Thats where it began
Beautiful 👌 ☝ 👍
Yep
@jaketrentsjaketrents fuck up bitch
kanye never lost it lol
That terry beat is one of the most beautiful beats in hip hop, it almost makes me tear up

AL is the TRUTH!!!! I love what he's doing with Griselda Records out in Buffalo
"Did you make the track or did the track make you"
It has to be therapeutic and not suppose to complicate you, move on.
Thank you Alchemist.
RIP Prodigy
I think Alchemist was his favorite!
That instro to "I Betcha' from No days Off is a classic! Prodigy & Kokane was a sweet mix

I'd say in the past 5 years ALCs drums have become the best in the game
This was dope. Something for other music makers to see and pull some insight. Alchemist is a legendary producer
Kylemad01 he said a lot of nothing.

Mr M.A that kit wasn't from the Alchemist, all those kits were fakes. This one is his actual sounds, from him.
