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 UA-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.
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 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
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.
@@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...
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. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.
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
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.
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!
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)
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🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤞🤞
I think this is because the music on there wasn't commercial enough to sell on its own merits at the time, so they put a naked lady on there to get some sales. So it's a whole different vibe to the music that was being released that could actually sell itself
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!
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
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.
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.
I remember when I first got mpc, I bought drum kits from mpc site lol, overpriced and still sounded like shit, haven't really used them much. I stick with few sounds and to be honest default sounds and instruments is the best stuff
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
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
I do this all the time from time to time, there's just something about that vibe that this video brings. Sometimes on a daily you loose that beatmaking lifestyle vibe and you feel pretty miserable. I think it's all about that 90's-20's beat making vibe - no internet, no social media or just barely getting in touch with the internet and all that. Maybe that's nostalgia, but fuck I just like to vibe and picture windows 98, those old computers and all that vibe, mixed with jazz and careless living. Things ain't the same, but in the studio - you can go back, freeze, go into the unknown or just simply chill. Time in the studio is overrated term. There is no time and if you can make time disappear in the studio then damn, you live forever. At least that's how it is, that's how I feel it. Beat making keeps you young, you just have to keep pushing when everybody around you is growing up and suddenly not vibing with you. Because the truth is that it was always you and the machine - drum machine, laptop or whatever. That's your best friend and your one and only true love. Sounds clique, but whatever lol, I've been making beats for a while and after a while you just realise damn I've been doing same shit for years lol. Idk, there's just that struggle of growing up, but maybe it's good to feel this way. Because every time I drop a fire beat I get that same feeling I had when I just started, sometimes it just takes more time to get to that place, but that feeling is the shit. You know what I'm talking about xD
Who else realized you’ve been bumping Alchemist your whole lives and shed a tear?
Goosebumps
If Al ascended to the galactic plates tomorrow he would be praised like dilla. Appreciate this legend while he is here folks

I agree on god tho
love that

Me too!
Anyone who gets pissed off about being tired because they want to keep working is someone who is going to be successful. Rethinking life... 😂

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 UA-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.
Al still one of the few greats left keeping it hip hop.
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!
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

Always fire. Lol. No doubt.
Was it you?
he was spot on about that!
was it kanye's album?

The last track giving me chills
quarantine happened and Al said ok i’m just gonna produce insane amounts of insanely dope music, producer of the year no competition
Al is my hero and is 100% the GOAT. everybody's pal
Props to the audio/video engineer/producer (probably 1-2 guys) who mixed this very well. Really well done.
"We never find it, but that's the whole idea, you keep looking"

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

@@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.

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.
gorgeous video. his lab looks comfy af

"nothing worse than an overcooked meal"
Disgusting 😂
Yup. Raw meal.
Alchemist talking with the beats at the background was like its a track about to drop
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.

RIP Prodigy
I think Alchemist was his favorite!
Terry instrumental though ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it
AL is the TRUTH!!!! I love what he's doing with Griselda Records out in Buffalo
I'd say in the past 5 years ALCs drums have become the best in the game
I watch this every morning for inspiration
4:47 literally greatest beat i ever heard lmfao
Alchemist thought process is how my brain functions as a producer truly inspiring
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 instro to "I Betcha' from No days Off is a classic! Prodigy & Kokane was a sweet mix
4:49 Juicy Fruit - Mtume. Iconic drums. Chopped really well but still retaining its original flavor.
Wow the people been waiting for an official Alchemist kit! Def will be getting this one.
BIGPUN4EVER got released years ago. I had it in in my teens
Mr M.A that kit wasn't from the Alchemist, all those kits were fakes. This one is his actual sounds, from him.
When you see those floppy disks you know he been producing for long time 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
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.
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.
Alc is one of the greats along side 9th wonder and premiere . sourface , necro , dilla and muggs . those all make my top fave.
