busted up laughin when he said, "thats straight therapy for me", gotta feel him on that, nothin better than being by yourself in a room full of sounds aranging them how u want and hearin it come along into something
Exactly! The concept behind how he creates you'd never imagine how he came to the end result. You'd actually have to appreciate the art of hip-hop to understand it.
DjEM420 It's called "sampling". It's an art form, not plagiarism. Unless you just blatantly loop something without putting your own individual artistic spin on it (e.g. Puff Daddy).
J Dilla, ALC, Madlib, DOOM, Lord Finesse, DJ Muggs, RZA.... all dope ass producers that us samples... hip hop is it's purest when it's over a sampled beat. it gives it that soul
I wanna see that session with Nas on Book of Rhymes. If Nas actually bought a book, and if ALchemist was laughing when Nas kept stopping and getting mad at the lyrics.
I think it's just that Em maybe just doesn't connect his flow with Alchemist's style. Nothing wrong with that, doesn't mean anything negative about either one of them, they're a both great.
I grew up listening to these guys. They were the hottest beat makers when we were in high school. I love that last beat man. Very nice before it got cut off
That's exactly what I say, it does take a lot of talent to make a dope beat from scratch, but it also takes a lot of talent to find a sample, chop it correctly, get drums to fit, and so on.... One Love....
that double fit he doest at 1:43 to like 1:46 is dope as fuck, alch is a tight ass dude IRL.. i know his cousin DJ Just-in, we go way back. this dude is a champ on the MPC beats tho, its a trip he has that NYC style when hes from L.A, kinda what im goin for in my beats.. im born and raised in LA, but i love that NYC underground grimey sound.. Necro, Premo, 9th Wonder, etc etc i could go for dayyyyyyysssss ahahaha, anywas props on tha video post!!!! peep my page if you guys got tha time!!
Brings me back to the summer nights of 08 riding through East Baltimore coming from my brothers house smoking a an L..... Just riding, bumpin my new shit!
this sample came from the great Barry White. Alchemist chopped it up perfectly and made a classic called- Key to the city. Sean P used the track on his song called -This is us.
Exactly. I'd invite anyone who doesn't appreciate sampling to listen to the original sample then the beat of instrumentals by guys like Dilla and Pete Rock. Some of them are really hard to tell how they even flipped it.
Alchemist is one of the best Producers from up North they made a whole radio channel off his beats on GTA ChinaTown Wars. Homie is Dope has a real tight NY sound.
Love that ending... been listening to Stop Fronting for years. Was surprised how fast I recognized it... totally forgot the name. And they say that instrumental music can't be identified. People just don't get it.
Hello my name is Matthew and I love in Hawaii, I sold my MPC to get back to Hawaii where I suppose to be, however I'm really good at the MPC and I will post videos do whatever it takes to play make beats each day someone help me get an MPC 1000 thanks
@chrissteezybezzy not really bro. sure sampling is just takin a sample from a piece of music and chopping it into a soundboard or sampler, but there's an art to it. you can't just go into a record or an mp3 and be like, "ohhh fuck yeah i'm gonna tear this sample up, watch me flip this shit just like that" you gotta make it your own, flip it around in a way that represents your state of mind. but that's just what i think, i've been doing this for only a year :P
@greeny202a It's easy to learn how to sample however it is extremely hard to create something new and extremely good through doing it. I'm sure you are well aware of that seeming you weren't able to create any good music LOL I found it fairly easy to learn how to play a guitar but producing good music from it is another matter. Bottom line producing good music from samples takes talent, skill and a fantastic ear and understanding of music.
Its also hilarious how people bash sampling, when there's plenty of producers out there who's couldn't season a beat the right way to save their life. Look at Three Six Mafia when they swayed away from OJ Da Juiceman or whatever for an Alchemist track called "That'll Work". They couldn't even freak the beat, and the lyrics would have sounded better off on one of those 3 6 beats with too many high hats and bass with no tune, just bass kicks. Lmao. I can't do it man, I just cant.
@LaidbackPlayboy yeah maybe the beats are ill, but you still need other man's music to make your own music...it's not about how famous you are, it's about the quality of the beats...don't judge me if you didn't check my beats...I just truly think sampling sucks...why can't people make their own melodies, it's a shame lil wayne, soulja boy, 50 cent etc. just ruin those beats...and then again everybody thinks sampling is so cool because it's oldskool...
@greeny202a I'm not referring to directly ripping something I'm referring to taking small pieces and creating something new like done in this video. I'd think seeming no one on here has every heard of you and you've resorted to going on to UA-cam videos saying people have no real talent that would suggest the music you make is extremely bad.
people that talk shit about sampling don't understand the art of it, either because they've never made beats or are just garbage ass fruity loopers.. sampling exposes and entire new generation to older music ..and original artists get paid off of royalties when they become hit records. sampling is a beautiful thing, few people can appreciate it's craft.
Check me out. All songs in all genres create a certain vibe. If you yourself can change the vibe of a sample, then who else's creativity and originality is that? It's yours. You took it and made it original. When you take that altered sample and use it to compliment other sounds which create a new vibe, you now have your own, original piece of music.
I got nothing against sampling. But Im really sick of mofo's saying Premiere is the best to ever do hip hop. Him and Dilla. I can say that there legends but If they actually played the shit on a piano or keyboard then I would give them all the credit they deserve/
You are right about the Dilla jocking. Back in the Slum Village days he had an audience but nobody was really riding for him until after he died. You even had more mainstream artists like Busta and Janet giving him props but where were they when he couldn't pay the $1100/month for his medication?
Its funny how alot of ALC's old beats were right on point with Premo's. ALC wasn't afraid to show that he could sound exactly like Preem, and then some. Look at Crookie Monster, Dead End Street, Guaranteed....Just to name a few ALC joints.
DJ Premier and The Alchemist are my favorite producers. Hi Tek is up there too, Reflection Eternal gets better with every listen. Then there's Khrysis (who a lot of people don't know about), 9th Wonder, Kanye, Kut Masts Kurt, Sid Roams, Sha Money Xl, Pete Rock, DJ Lethal, ....i could go on...
@DaComebakKid are you fucking kidding me? alchemist is arguably as popular as pete rock... but pete rock is a hundred times more talented, and has worked with a hundred times the amount of great artists that alchemist has.
THATS HARD WORK...HOURS OF SOUND STUDY.....ALL RESPECT DUE TO THE BEAT MAKERS......PIONEER EMCEE RC...FLOWIN NON STOP TO THESE BEASTY BEATS....ALCHEMIST ONE OF THE BEST......
@DominickCADuff thanks man, but does it matter how it started? I just can't understand why people like all those sampled beat...but if they just make a lot of money with, I understand it..
@OpinionatedJerk dont you think its funny when he says smpling is lame but then all his favorite artist and producers pretty much uses samples in 99% of thier beats?
How something that comes from a man's mind and it's recieved, heard by others can't be called art? If you really think about it art is everything we create. Ain't building a house an art? Simple decorating your room might be an art (not artistic but just the fact of doing it). The way we talk to each other, behave... we create our own art without knowing it. OP: in sampling you can respect it as hard searching (vinyls). Documentary "Scratch" shows it.
i producer and engineer sound, and sampling is way easier than making one sound, saving it, editing it to change the sound, saving it, editing it to change the sound, and repeating that process. However, sampling itself is hard, you have to cut the sample out perfectly, (not to mention isolate it), because if you don't, the tempo is off later on in the song. Then, you have to work other instruments, samples, or synths into the mix without having it sound artificial. Producing is NOT easy at all
@JohneySoQlose WORD UP!! people dont realize how hard it is to make somethin simple cuz you put somethin together sometimes nd you always feelin like the beat needs more, then once its done, its too much for anyone to even rap to; you're better off just makin a straight instumental cd for people to vibe to than for someone to rap over... people who dont know anything about hip hop dont realize this
Hip hop started from dj's cuttin up samples and spinnin drums over it. But that doesn't make it "real"or better than Hip hop thats original. The skill it takes to cut up a record is nothing compared to what it takes to actually play a real instrument. I'm all about that old school shit..but hip hop has evolved over the years..(production wise) most of the shit now is original..weather it's garbage or not. Cats like DRE and,9th Wonder..can flip a sample..and kill it with they own melodies.
Your right, but the 4 bar loops is what you get those war beats from, or even those raw ass underground loops, its hard to expand to 16 bars or even 10 for that matter, and your right about dilla, he is overrated, but dude is rediculous on the MP and with his beats, but hes like the Kobe Bryant of underground MPC producing. haha thats just in my opinion though, but at least you know what your talkin about mane, unlike fools bringing linkin park and lil weeze to this shit.
Dankness, your right about that, but you know you can go to Guitar center and get one finanaced to you and you make montly payments, i was gonna do that, but i bought a referbished mpc2000, and got my own custom made faceplate on it, so i payed like 1600-1700$ for it.. But if your a serious producer and you dont have one yet, get it, its worth the money, and down the road you'll make it back with what you can do with the MPC, if anything use the FPC program FL studio has, its like a MPC allmost.
Whats wrong with sampling? if your a producer and all you do is sample then do it, i mean im a sampler myself, but i also know how to come up with a melody of my own, but i think the beat sounds like it has more class, and its put more in the underground genre if you sample something and throw it into a good loop, Kanye is a trash producer, he does it for the money, not the love, only reason why he is famous is because of that jesus walks song, and it only got him famous cuz of Jarhead....
@JohneySoQlose I feel you for sure, but to me the trick is finding the fine line between too simple to the point that it's boring and too complex to the point that it can't be spit on. A good beat is one that can be spit on, but can also be enjoyed as an instrumental without getting boring if that makes any sense.
@holy0damn As a music - sampling is based on heavy state of creators mind (beside of knowledge of tools). Music created that way is about mood mostly. Well i could write and write here but the main problem are people who don't want to get some wisdom and read or stop being ignorant.
@bartjuhh12 Hardly. Recording live instrumentation is a lot harder. When you're working with samples half the work (e.g. recording/ mixing) has already been done for you! There is an art to sampling, but recording live material is a lot harder.
alchemist is so nasty...but my top 5 Producers are 1. DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three Six Mafia 2. DJ U-Neek of Bone Thugs...too many classics to name 3. Alchemist 4. Shawty Redd for his hood anthems and eery sound 5. Bangladesh for his out of the box creativity
being able to sample is more than just cutting something and putting a drum on it...you have to have an ear for nice sounds..chop it up and rearange it in a way that sounds good....its almost a gift...not evreyones is good at it
@Drucifer1983able and the killing part that gets me is,, if you let them make a sample beat,, they cant chop,, they cant blend, and they cant make a song better than the crap they actually played on the keyboard..
@MrMikkiFunk Yes but thats just the recording. I mean you can let an orchestra play whatever you want,but with sampling you got little pieces of things and you have to be creative to make it even work.
@ecpruthless ....and i'm a jersey nigga too...but i travel a lot to dallas and florida...you also have to throw in Mouse who does trill ENT. shit and Beats by the Pound...the old no limit producers
i notice alot of producers are now choppin up samples that already have drums....it already sounds good too so alot of em dont even add new drums too it which is pretty nuts....
nice oh and actually even though kanye is making mainstream trash right now he still goes hard with his equipment so i give props to anyone who can make some ends with an 808 and an asr 10
Ths my papa christian de jon and my first son christian and jhuske Christian snow ball and blonde hair Christian and them and saint gereoge that and anthiany also of angeles nephews than asian chris made claim for my papa christian and made music and remix and my papa brothers spaniah jhsuske bear ice cube spanish Mario and making music and claim for tha family music it got stole from some bad black guys we got hurt that was my papa and my studio and tha guys studio
Oh boy another debate about sampling ethics. These guys have fan base they cater to and these in most cases the original composers get taken care of to give them permission to use their music. Clearing samples is becoming pain, it can cost lots of money but that should only concern the ppl involved in the situation.
in this one does he add the drums to the sample and then chops both of them as one sample? sounds like he's chopping a beat, and not solely the sample. LMK
Painters don't create their canvas or paint, instrumentalist don't create their own instruments, musician themselves don't create musical theories, sculptor don't create their own material, clothes designer don't create their fabrics, photographer don't create both their model and their camera... I don't see why Sampling can not be considered an art. Its just we use different materials from the other artists.
busted up laughin when he said, "thats straight therapy for me", gotta feel him on that, nothin better than being by yourself in a room full of sounds aranging them how u want and hearin it come along into something
who’s here because The Alchemist is having an amazing 2020
And 2021
Bro just gettin better n better
Alc’s work ages like fine wine
and 2022
Rome streetz x alchemist 2022 🥶
you are watching art being made from scratch...who the fuck is disliking this?
Exactly! The concept behind how he creates you'd never imagine how he came to the end result. You'd actually have to appreciate the art of hip-hop to understand it.
andre caldwell i love alchemist but we all know he gets his end result...stealing.
DjEM420 i think if we gotta look at the overall not much is done in music without some kind of theft. Not 2 say that should b one goal but it happens.
andre caldwell You said that backwards. You have to understand it to appreciate it.
DjEM420 It's called "sampling". It's an art form, not plagiarism. Unless you just blatantly loop something without putting your own individual artistic spin on it (e.g. Puff Daddy).
ALC is known WORLDWIDE. definitely not underrated. been crushing the music scene since the 90's
Under appreciated is a better term
@@SJ-su1ki 💯

12 years later and nothing's changed this music is timeless
I wanna see that session with Nas on Book of Rhymes. If Nas actually bought a book, and if ALchemist was laughing when Nas kept stopping and getting mad at the lyrics.
hahahah seriously, for me that' pretty much all I think about, the rapper and the producer during the session
He’s still using that MPC today. Crazy.
yeppppppppppppppppppppppp
What MPC is it?
Cut mpc 2500
Erman YILDIRIM thanks man, I’m trying to get into making beats. Where do I start?
@@vision1616 download a DAW and a bunch of samples and play around, also watch some vids on music theory aha
My favorite producers: Havoc of Mobb Deep, DJ Premier, Alchemist and Easy Mo Bee.
I like Scott Storch, Timbaland and Warren G with these cats.
It's funny how I don't understand anything they're doing but after it's finished it's amazing. Like witch niggaz lol.
Gotta add 9th Wonder to that dope list!
what about madlib tho?
What about Ron Ron or Dj mustard
This studio sessions are fucking inspiring! Dope as fuck.
This is a man who shows passion in what he does.....
Can someone explain to me why The Alchemist dj for Eminem live but Em never used a beat from him. What.The.Fuck. the dude is straight fire!!
I think it's just that Em maybe just doesn't connect his flow with Alchemist's style. Nothing wrong with that, doesn't mean anything negative about either one of them, they're a both great.
My thoughts since 2009
He has one or two but I agree not enough
Chemical warfare >:3
Because M&M isn’t good enough to rhyme on an alc beat
1st.. "keys to the city"
2nd.. " Stop Fronting " by Prodigy
Alchemist New York 2009 classic that NY Beat East Coast 🗽🏙
feelin that last beat!
I grew up listening to these guys. They were the hottest beat makers when we were in high school. I love that last beat man. Very nice before it got cut off
Stop Fronting

Of Course 💯
Top 3 producers: J Dilla, Madlib, The Alchemist. Don’t even talk to me.
This is a true statement
alchemist is a sick producer man, loved "hold you" when it came out, rocked the clubs for years.........:-)

@chrissteezybezzy not really bro.
sure sampling is just takin a sample from a piece of music and chopping it into a soundboard or sampler, but there's an art to it.
you can't just go into a record or an mp3 and be like, "ohhh fuck yeah i'm gonna tear this sample up, watch me flip this shit just like that"
you gotta make it your own, flip it around in a way that represents your state of mind.
but that's just what i think, i've been doing this for only a year :P
@greeny202a It's easy to learn how to sample however it is extremely hard to create something new and extremely good through doing it.

i notice alot of producers are now choppin up samples that already have drums....it already sounds good too so alot of em dont even add new drums too it which is pretty nuts....

@zxzrp0
But sampling one instrument or melody and working it in such a way not even the artist of the sample knows it is there, that's the hard part.
had a chance to meet him in holiday inn hawthorne L.A i was touring L.A from guatemala and was already a big fan...Hes a real good person...
@djnevous3us work... and buy ! i work 3 month from 2500km from my home and sleep on floor to buy one.
Well. sampling is an art, and i think that creating a song might be harder to do with recording a few records than with a big orchestra
@goro71913 Did you really just say The Alchemist wasn't a great producer...? Wow. Kids these days.
@BellalAzimi agreed he should of been promoting the new akai controllers not araab ! check out injury soul memorecks is dope in that
@theBestinThebizz95 and if you think it is, please be my guest and try to out-do alchemist or dr. dre. thank you, have a nice day.
Therapy for you? THATS THERAPY FOR OUR SOULS ALC... I think its safe to say we all ALCaholics.
King Mathers LP song?
Very dope. I saw the hold you down Beatmaking too. Very impressive 👍🏽👍🏽
@DaComebakKid alchemist is fine, but there are much better producers with much less fame.
Oh boy another debate about sampling ethics. These guys have fan base they cater to and these in most cases the original composers get taken care of to give them permission to use their music. Clearing samples is becoming pain, it can cost lots of money but that should only concern the ppl involved in the situation.
What was that outro beat
in this one does he add the drums to the sample and then chops both of them as one sample? sounds like he's chopping a beat, and not solely the sample. LMK
This isn't playing music. Ha
They steal chunks of songs they never wrote and never give credit, THATS WRONG
Painters don't create their canvas or paint, instrumentalist don't create their own instruments, musician themselves don't create musical theories, sculptor don't create their own material, clothes designer don't create their fabrics, photographer don't create both their model and their camera... I don't see why Sampling can not be considered an art. Its just we use different materials from the other artists.
