This LP is the best example of what years of mastering your craft can do. Roc Marci's pen game is one of the most (if not the most) unique in the game for years. Alc production is like fine wine nowadays, he knows what to do and is very fast at pulling the trigger to do so. Now combine those factors, and you have in your hands a guarantee classic.
Great minds think alike. Before even reading your comment I made a comment saying ALC's production is aging like fine wine too. Seems like he's just getting better and better throughout the decades.
The Alchemist is literally my favorite producer. The harmonies have an ethereal quality to them like dream pop almost but dripping with this urban noir. Its like he incarnated here to make these beats. Like he might have been you born in another era, but is here now creating these beats that allow you to take a "quantum leap". I could go on and on!
@@_doomzday lmfao ain't no DOOM "remember all caps when you spell the man name."..and WSG is wack asf. He's more like himself. Put him in the category by himself it's lonely up top.
I would argue that it's not really underground anymore if it's popping on, by far, the biggest streaming service on Earth. But I feel where you're coming from.
@@LaughingGasFunny true but its rare to hear a producer still perfecting the same sound all these years later. Most producers went pop by now. Alch is still mastering the craft.

time and time again i find myself back here, this album is even better in retrospect than it was at release, and it blew my mind back then so that is saying something
Roc Marciano is an unsung legend to the game. The most consistent and smooth with the pen. Let's not even talk about the production. Whether its him behind the boards or someone just as fire like Alchemist, he stays nice.
I need to see a video for "Liquid Coke". The Alchemist has his production on the beats aging like fine wine. From his early beginnings cutting it up with Mobb Deep (🙏🏾 R.I.🅿️), to making dope ass albums with Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs, Action Bronson, Boldy James, Earl Sweatshirt, Conway the Machine, and Roc Marciano. 🅰️LC definitely needs to be in that conversation along with Primo, Pete Rock, Large Pro, DJ Muggs, Q-Tip, The RZA, Havoc, Sir Jinx, Cold187UM, K-Def, Da Dungeon Family, and even Roc Marciano himself.
Interesting… I thought if Roc and Alchemist woulda kept the beats in the same kinda vibe as rubber hand grip, there’s about 5 or 6 beats in that hard bop vein… that they woulda had a Miles like album. Glad somebody else hearing it.
I would hear roc from time to time since i was 18 but this the song that made me realize we’re on the same frequency and i will now dig deeper into his catalog… i was just thinking to myself how i feel like i’ve been quantum leaping and now this song is released.. life is a dream
Pimpire Boss himself Roc Marci! By far the best in the game right now! Behold of a Dark Horse and Rosebud Revenge are truly my personal favorites however this is sitting very well with me! I swear I find a new catch phrase everytime I listen to it.
@@john1120 Marcielago isn't one of his strongest in my opinion, but the Rosebudd era that produced RR1 and Dark Horse was sublime. Since then, this is his best work. Not that I don't like his previous two projects, but he entered into a new phase of experimentation and was finding his feet a little. This album is the culmination of his efforts over the previous few years, I feel.
@@craigr4763 see i appreciate this other perspective because im the opposite. I repeat tf out of Marcielago and Mt Marci over Behold + RR (both great but i just LOVE the others different)
Just literally heard this track, I immediately recognised the sample: “Ghetto: Misfortunes Wealth” by The 24-Carat Black, year 1973. The way the sample is flipped on this track, is the best take, I have heard on this sample and many artistes have used it! Roc flows on this track, beautifully.. cannot stop playing it! 🔥
Marci and Al back with some more astonishing visuals are for this impeccable track!!! Love this whole record!!! Easily one of the best releases to come out this year!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best best of the year ! Bro wtf don't ever stop making beats and spitting that shit 20 years from now I want my son to be on this real rap hip hop wave man. Shit will never ever die ! Just tryna get by like talib kweli 🙏
I genuinely believe roc, benny, Conway, and action and possibly west with the alchemist, in the mix "one of, if not the "greatest" generation since nas and the wu an ogc back in the 90s etc. I'd love to hear a new nas album with roc and Alk producing the beats.
I heard somebody say Roc Marci raps like he got better things to do with his time than entertain us so now I’m here .. & Impressed.

The only pen I would put above his is Ka's
Favorite beat on the album, this track is sublime
Im a fan of Stigmata and Zip Guns myself.
my favorite beat is the one this one transitions too the title track
Liquid coke beat too they both got a similar kinda sound to them that I’ve never heard before
this, Zig Zag Zig, and JJ Flash for me. 🔥

This is true. Roc is in his own lane but him and max b are def unsung hero’s of this rap sh*t.
Yep, arguably one of the best catalogs in the past decade
This album been on heavy rotation since it drops!🔥🔥✨✨
Best artist of his era...Welcome back 1994!Roc Marciano back 2 the future.Al the Chemist best producer out there too.

I look forward to nothing more than a new Alchemist project & a long night drive.
If Roc not your alter ego, you livin for the wrong things.
This is gonna age incredibly well I think.
Best joint on what's an incredible body of work.. ALC & ROC killed it... Its 🎨 💯👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

insane bars wow
I'm hooked! Venice & NY
"DA LOUIS LUGGAGE 30 THOUSAND, I WAS POWER TRIPPIN..." -MARCI🔥
I think NY is the source of the dimensional rift between our universe and the hip-hop universe. The best hip-hop to exist simply emanates from NYC
These two ARTISTS are perfectionists beats and barz are a marriage the RESULT they birthed a classic
One of the best songs on a flawless album.
ONLY THE THRONE IS HIS COMFORT ZONE 👑🐐
Man...love from South Africa.
Roc has entered the disgussion for goat catalog. His music ages different.

That’s besides the point, if I point, you gon catch a hollow point.
