I remember when this came out, I was moving from USA to Canada. and when I got up north, no one heard of this track... it wasn't until 06 I heard it again.... what a classic, it put me on to Alc (one of if not THE best producer imo)and even Prodigy (RIP).
I was probably the only one up here in Canada buying his cd the 1st Infantry I got into him cuz I loved mixing instrumentals and accapellas on virtual dj lol way back
Alchemist and Scott Storch produce real hip hop, this beat touches my soul, I wouldn't freestyle over this beat, that's how much respect I have for this beat, I listen and feel.
If you do freestyle. It has to be true to the culture and actually be a true freestyle. Nothing written. And it's imperative that you flame this s#!t. I mean really lose yourself and go in, make people remember it... That's how you show respect...
when this fist dropped me and my boys would beat box this beat to freestyle to... I miss those days. I haven’t freestyled in over a decade. It’s Amazing how things that were once so integral to your life can fall by the wayside with time... kind of depressing if you think about it for too long. I guess that comes with the territory when you reminisce.
This word is too much used, the real underrated ones are the ones who have only 500 viewers/listeners or less (if i’d hit 500 people with my art I would be happy tho but you understand what I’m saying)
Wow I been looking for this and forgot what it was called man late 90s/early 2000s childhood right here!!!! Never know knew it was freaking Alchemist and he still killing it out here
The expectations will crush Though dedication is a must Go ahead and call my bluff Off the cuff I'll go fist to rush up To... (Hold you down) Beat you into centerfold then kablam The dame with no name got a drop Of that Green, Can't get too much Although it'll .... (Hold You down) Can't solve this existential riddle Only silence will tell the truth And it'll (Hold You Down)
trust me when jay-z said too much west coast dick licking. that was the end of the beef. the end of production from them to him. and the end of everything. listen to reasonable doubt 1995. i was born in 93
Dick Head i think part of the reason he may have seemed slow was because most of them were high out of their minds. If you think Action Bronson or the other dude that was smoking seemed more intelligent than him then you're crazy lmao
This Is My Favorite Hip-Hop Song - Intense34 - Hold You Down - The Alchemist Feat Albert Johnson Prodigy Illa Ghee & Nina Sky [Produced By The Alchemist] [Year: 2004] [Album: 1st Infantry] [Official Music Video]

Like take a step back and focus on the music in itself like vocals, flow, tempo, meaning, wording, wordplay, verseplay, mellow, genre, unique, real, soul, connection, inteligent/smart, good or not, talent. As music is smarter than you think if the artist or musician loves and has a passion for what he/she does and if the money doesn't matter you'll find it will come shortly after not straight away as it takes time but very worth it if you can help change peoples life ect. Colour isn't everything
I've seen this guy before but 2018 is the year I actually heard this song ... I thought he just made beats ...but na he has some classics This guy has to be big on the East coast ...just cuz of this song
That a-a-a-a-a-a-alchemist producer tagline is one of the all time best
Perfect
I recite it in the shower so it echos. Dude is for real son !
Wish me still used it today
@@samuelbrauner He does, he just uses it sparingly
I seem to find you everywhere I go🤣🤣

The alchemist is my favorite producer by far. & I’m from Memphis where we got an entirely different sound.
RIP Prodigy
Alchemist is really underrated.
To who? Every real and I mean real hip hop head know Alchemist😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he's not underrated
This word is too much used, the real underrated ones are the ones who have only 500 viewers/listeners or less (if i’d hit 500 people with my art I would be happy tho but you understand what I’m saying)
On repeat!!! Thank you Alchemist!!!
The fact the original sample doesn’t even say “down” is crazy
Modulation he tweaked it
Most talented of sampling with great style.. never let go of that minimalism! Thats why I can't touch to records anymore.. your style ✊️🤝
THIS IS SICKER THAN HITLERS HEART.
😂😂😂😂
RIP to my Dawgs that died loving this music shit. RIP JACOB RAMIREZ RIP RYAN BOWERS, ima hold em down til its my time!

This is so early 2000s NY
Es lo más increíble que he escuchado
One of the only beats where I don’t really wanna write any lyrics.. I wouldn’t do it justice.
You know a video is old when the annotations ask for a five star rating lol.
Jay z soon you'll understand? alchemist is a genius
Its a classic aswell
Alchemist My Favorite Producer.
trust me when jay-z said too much west coast dick licking. that was the end of the beef. the end of production from them to him. and the end of everything. listen to reasonable doubt 1995. i was born in 93
@@wwapojr450rugershooter5 dafuq doe that mean you were just two years when this came out
@@wwapojr450rugershooter5 thanks buddy for telling us your birthday but no one cares lmao
old but gold!
this is the realest statement i have ever seen on youtube ever...
Hes too dope for this picture 😂
i think it's just real one ;)
"Retarded as fuck"? Uh, there's nothing about him that seems slow. He's clearly very intelligent in interviews and down to Earth.
No, I definitely never watched Ancient Aliens, lol.
I'm a renaissance man, a true throwback.
Dick Head i think part of the reason he may have seemed slow was because most of them were high out of their minds. If you think Action Bronson or the other dude that was smoking seemed more intelligent than him then you're crazy lmao
Man's looking at the camera like YA I DID THAT
Covid in 2020 but still bumping to this
vixxxx que pegada e essaaaaaaaaaa ..e como um nocaute do tyson ...
Them black genes making yo beatz badass.
This guy makes sick tunes, funny how Bronson always jokes around with him in the group

Dj u-neek used to make some prisoned beats for bone thugs #underrated

This guy has to be big on the East coast ...just cuz of this song
