he became such a legend... he became The Alchemical
lmfao
Have we got it wrong this whole time? That’s a fucced up Mandela effect lol
Prodigy said chemistry on the beat On that incredible track basics off of the Tony touch album. My guess is that was his production name early on after he was doing the whooligans thing with Scott caan
Even though my beats sound nothing like his, Alchemist has been one of my biggest influences and inspirations for beat making
Maybe you have moved passed the imitation stage, and now are becoming your own producer
@@NavieD Perhaps... still got a long way to go tho. Dope breakdown man!
Same same! All his álbuns have been on repeat lately
@@NavieDahah I'm still on the emulation phase eheh
trent reznor is like that for me, i don’t make NIN type tracks but huge influence
Al made a sampling masterclass with Aulart recently. I won't spoil everything, but one thing he does is he has a drum beat playing from his MPC while he searches for melodic samples.
This is why producers need hardware. I highly advocate an mpc or roland to producers who don't have one. Something with like a minute sample time, separates boys from men
could you recommend any specifically ? I've been in the market for a while but I just have absolutely no idea which to get@@theybeonbody1309
@@ConnieVeenuhs Roland Sp 404 and the Mpc 2000 together GOES CRAZY, thats what you should start with. My favorite hardware: Roland Sp 505(the best lofi machine on the planet quiet as kept),
ASR 10, Roland Sp 303 midi'ed to my Roland groovebox 202 for bass sounds (made popular by madlib) and if you have some shmoney, the sp1200 is the greatest of all time but its worth $3000 but id say its worth it. Lastly, J dilla made alot of his classics on the mpc 3000.
Return of the Mac super duper classic
I’ve always done that. Make a drum beat, go thru vinyl until something sounds ok with the drums. Then chop the sample. It makes things go much quicker when making a beat.
Man Return of the Mac was my shit. It came out in high school and crazy thing is it was a mixtape. We all just listened to mixtapes back then because they were all better than the mainstream albums.That tape was supposed to be the appetizer for the album. Ended up being WAY better than the album lol. I miss that era a bit but I’m just glad dudes went back to making great albums.
Alc is a G. He's been in a hell of a run the past few years especially. The records with Armand Hammer, Boldy James, and the others are all sick af
him and boldy are a dream team, they complement each other so well
Idk any of those artists
Are they hipster rappers?? Most people al produces for are hipsters apart from bbb
@@T10_Ehe doesn’t work with jcole so no
🔥🔥🔥🔥 he definitely has top notch chemistry with Boldy James
Always teaching us with awesome content. Much luv from Brasil Navie!
This man is a legend and definitely in my forever top 5 of hip hop producers. What I love about him most is his versatility and growth through the decades. From Mobb Deep, The Lox on up to Larry June and Freddie Gibbs. He deserves all his flowers!🔥🔥🔥💕💕💐💐💐💐
This gave me a lot of insight on how to get creative with samples and even layer them. Thanks my guy!
That last beat literally blew my mind. Help is on the way but I will never be the same after hearing that
I just watched like 10 of ur videos by far my favorite beat channel on youtube thank you!!!
Alchemist blows my mind with those instrumentals. Absolute Genius.
Stop fronting is such a solid instrumental. There's so much bounce to it, all of it is just so good. Floating from one bop to another, it's honestly my favorite instrumental to bump when I'm walking
This is one of his best imo
It’s a nod to Da Beatminerz who flipped that sample like 10 years prior on Black Moon - I got cha opin remix. The hook on that track is “don’t front, you know I got cha opin”, hence Prodigy naming his track “stop fronting”.
Interesting and informative, Navie. That collab with you and Weaver was dope too!
These videos are awesome. Thank you Navie
I'm after that dope pen man and blue edition too! Real nice work here, great break down and in depth knowledge sharing of a transition in The Alchemists productions.
I already loved his production prior to. So when they had a full project I swear, I still bump it till this day. This one belongs in the Smithsonian.
Yo Navie, dope video as usual.
Let’s not forget Alchemists latest works; dude is STILL killin it
That new album he did with Larry June “The Great Escape” is amazing
Love your videos bro, keep it up!
great video bro.. perfect breakdown
it's a great album and i really enjoyed the production of that album. RIP Prodigy!
Great breakdown Navie, would love to see some diving into his newer productions as well!
Return of the Mac will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a full theme album like a movie back when everything was club bangers. Plus Prodigy. Classic.
This is one of my favorite albums ever …I jus found your channel glad I did …
Return of the Mac has been in my top 20 favorite albums for years and years . Cool video
You killed it as usual
3rd video in and subscribed. Great content and format. Keep going.
I love this style of video, it inspires me to be a better person
every time i learn about Alchemist i realise hes even more advanced than i think - surely a top 5 producer now?
I watched that interview and feel like I need to rewatch it. So many great producers inspired me. I love how u use serato sampler and fl studio those are 2 of my main tools great videos.
Do you have the link?
Brilliant video 🎉🎉🎉🫡
return of the mac is a classic & prodigy is my favorite rapper. i appreciated this video. 💯
Uncle AL..Hands down my favorite producer!!
Dope video! First video from you but certainly not the last!
Yoouuu more videos like this 🔥🔥🔥
always learning something from these videos thanks man
also would you have any insight on the bass sounds he used on Evidence's Red Carpet?
on point sir
Alc is really a master of sampling ! Great vid ! ❤
Harry fraud though that guys sick
Great video
Man I really wanted that pen. (great vid as always)
blessed to have return of the mac signed by Al
Great video thanks
Great breakdown
I remember my uncle coming home with this album, and I remember buying ringtones of this 😂
Good stuff navie..!! U kinda remind of alchemist a lil'
Alchemist is 1 of my favs producers no doubt
1st infantry is still a classic, marathon is still his top 3 productions of all time, nuts!
I love how you reverse engineer songs and explain the fundamentals of beats. Great content!
Thanks for the pen bro.
It definitely worked and wasn't half out of ink.
I never thought that beat was that impressive since that BW had already been rocked by so many people including Buckshot and BDK. I prefer the more obscure samples he uses. I really wish Prodigy had a chance to stick around longer. He was always one of my favorites. He walked that fine line in Hip-Hop btw Philosopher, Poet, and Thug. Respect In Progress.
Alchemist is the G.O.A.T.
R.I.P. Prodigy
I like this video format
I agree re the collage. I think Pete Rock or the Bomb Squad were the first to use the collage approach but the Alchemist definitely put his own spin on this!
Return of the Mac got so many spins in a few of my cars still a top 5
He's my model too, I love his beats.
You should do a Madlib or Black Milk video. 2 top notch producer's that get slept on in my opinion.
Black Milk is seriously under the radar, I hardly ever hear him get brought up
Super dope vid
I remember first time hearing Keys to the City w/ Prodigy, knew this dude was a legend from that moment
Return of the Mac so underrated! Rotten Apple 🔥
Stoupe the enemy of mankind deserves one of these breakdowns. He’s my favorite beat maker.
The 🐐
The best. Hands down.
This new content You have been putting out is amazing. Such pity You wont be able to know this because of illiteracy.
Good video
HEY! THATS WEAVERBEATS LINE! LOL. Love your videos
That Return of the Mack is a classic. RIP Prodigy
It seems like he knocks out a whole album in a week. It also seems like afterwards some of the artists are going down the street to make some tracks with Muggs. I like the music camp formula, it would be so dope if he would invite producers also and have three studios going. Imagine getting a Method Man album produced by Havoc, Alchemist and Premo!
Thank you
great video. i need that pen!
Alchemical is one the greatest
you should do a video a video on the Alchemist next. Very similar style...and name
ah my favorite producer, the alchemical
really cool to see the history of somebody lie kalchemist and breaking down the beat it self is an important part to me
I hope the vid was interesting
Return Of The Mac is absolutely incredible.
Serato Sample made these kind of collages much easier, since it's so easy to get samples from different sources into tune without compromising the original quality of the sample too much.
Love ur content! The Stop Fromtin was not a new beat when this was released.. its a slightly tweaked version of Black Moon’s classic “I gotcha Opin”.. so the foundation was already there. Perhaps it was a homage to Beatminerz?
You love alchemist bro.
I used to go records digging with al here in L.A.
Now, he's on a run with Hit!
Please mention Dilated Peoples in your next Alchemist video :) good job on all your videos.
1 min intro not bad!
I thought the sample at 6:20 sounder familiar. It was also used in AZ - Mo Money Mo Murder (Ft. Nas)
Hey! Love those album analysis, i know you probably wont but you should do one on the dr dre produced 2009 eminem album relapse. Its my favorite produced album.
P.S. Did you hear the new alchemist ep, i think it was dope
You guys got to listen to Broken Bottles! That shit is insane
How he does stuff his name suits him the most
You had so much time to edit the title.
also you should make a video of j dilla don't cry instrumental he chopped the kicked and the snares with the melody and placed anywhere
you should also talk about the difference in his stereo image thru the years
I’ve always wanted to know how to get that groovy bass line sound. I need to look up some of those drum kits
I really wanted that pen.
RIP P!
He’s paying homage to black moon on stop fronting and how they sampled the same loop on their 93 classic i gotcha opin remix, with a little extra. That makes it his own.
Genius
My guy how long dose it take to make your videos and edit? These are bar for bar break downs really done well.
Title typo. But great vid!!
Original heads, original crooks, doin it like this
Black Moon - I got cha Opin remix used the same Barry white sample
THE ALCHEMICAL
nice i tried this approach so I don't get stuck with one style
THE SAMPLE ''The O'jays cry together'' was used to make 9th Wonder beat ' cry ' { check it out) ......the alchemist and 9th wonder are what got me in to making rap beats
Return of the Mac doesn't get the love it deserves
I really don't like these beats but love some songs off the infamous album
You should try to rebuild Bang on em... thats the masterpiece from the album,...
