During the intro to Amsterdam, the background track is Ramses Shaffy - Hallelujah Amsterdam. Al was already big on you but for implementing this track, you are a LEGEND. Ramses sadly passed away 15 years ago and will forever be considered a legendary Amsterdam chansonnier
Its crazy when I was younger and first started listening to underground hip hop I could have never imagined how big Al would become. This vlog is so good. Glad to get a bit more insight into the inner workings of a sound scientist's mind.
Not to be a dick, but Al has produced some of the biggest names in HipHop. Not to mention Dilated Peoples. They blew up, every whit kid w a backpack and a skateboard was listening to them.
@@evythefish21You’re right, he was producing for big names out the gate. He started venturing into producing for more underground artists over time. Kind of the opposite trajectory that this comment described, but I agree that there was a lot we couldn’t have seen coming. It seemed like he’d reached a certain peak in like ‘04, and I wouldn’t have guessed that some of his best music was still coming like 10-20 years later
Al is the hip hop Anthony Bourdain. Travelling the world, blessing us with his art while appreciating the fine offerings these different places have to offer. Stopping to take in his surroundings and appreciating the significance of everywhere he goes. Keep being you Uncle Al
You can see the inspiration for his incredible Beats Alchemist is all over the Map it's a feel it's what you see that creates Fire from one of the greatest Beat makers EVER he really strikes me as a director of Films peace to the GOD AL
Nice to spot myself in the crowd there. Your performance was insane bro🔥 That transition from fear > we cry together blew my and everyone’s mind and you know it💯
17:59 that guy has one of those graffiti quotes that can be seen all over Amsterdam in different locations, a different quote every time, I never knew who did those. Cool artwork to have in your living room.
I come back to this video atleast once in a month, as a young artist this Video is giving me so much energy. Idk why but it just does , thanks Al for being such a great influence. Big love from germany
Was blessed to visit Amsterdam a few times in my travels. Fun times and GREAT people. Rotterdam, Tilburg, Utrecht and Den Haag. I can see why Al loves this place. It always seemed to have had a great vibe and was a really special place in the 90's and early -later 2000's when I visited. If you know, you know 💯
ALC digging & listening "Trois Vieux Papis" by french singer Richard Gotainer, the record he nicknamed Sad Clown Music, priceless 😂😂 Big Up from France
Everytime that I'm having a bad day at the office with the pen game I watch people like Alchemist and the pen starts to flame. God bless you bro. These flowers I'm sending ain't exactly tulips from Amsterdam just a simple poem to say a big thankyou man.
Anthony Bourdain is smiling down on you, you tireless genius. The way you relate the greatness of the art reminds me of my first hip hop show... Common Sense as he was called at the time in a small Northern New England club where an entire live band supported him, after The X-ecutioners then Rahzel got the crowd pretty warmed up. When he spit Hunger it was like time stopped or something. Which is why we can forever suffer no whack MC's. Amen.
I love this type of content and also Alc is living the life of a hip hop star for real! ima keep pushing for this we all can have it if we put in the work and hours
Lol he said..." yeah that's multatuli " .." that's definitely him" ...yo alchemist this is so ill...I admire what your doing so much!!! Straight cooling in your own lane highlighting the culture in your own shoes!! This is priceless man!! Peace and Love!! Hope I cross paths to say whaddup someday!!
Watching and being a part of Al’s whole Evolution as it also coincidentally was the soundtrack to my own evolution is no joke one of the most amazing parts of my 50 year old life. You wouldn’t believe me if I told ya. Our fuckeen boy Al! Thank you man thank you.
I randomly clicked on this while listening to some Prodigy & Alchemist stuff, probably P's latest album. Nice to C the homie AL is/was visiting my country.
As a visual artist, I am inspired and honored to share the same era with Alchemist, one of the greatest producers of the western world. Love to all, stay inspired.
Dope ass fuck to see him perform for a sold out show and then turn around and walk amongst the people unbothered.
And that is exactly why eminem hates his fame.
Wow thats so cool, it changed the way i am experiencing and looking at the world
i met him in amsterdam while i was going to work indeed! crazy
Yeah but a sold out show in a small venue, is much different to a stadium. He's not a household name yet. Still underground
@@ggmbeats6133 Same here lol. The weekend after Pride is when he filmed this I believe

got my name thanks to him, Sammy
I put the track in there but to be honest I just thought it was a dope record didn’t really know the history or anything lol
@@Sp8Ghost whats the name of the track on the intro?
Thank you so much for showing our city to the world like this❤️
alchemist is the best producer ever 🫡🫡
Yea he's not beating preemo
he is beating in relevancy though@@leod8489
@@leod8489 he surpassed him. Torch was passed and he’s carrying on tradition.
Body of work keeps building
I been yelling this from the mountain tops for years now
Being overseas is a whole different vibe when your mind is wide open 💯
This was great to watch, even as a Dutch person. Feels like seeing your own country through some fresh eyes. And you're a chill dude man
Samesame it's fun to see
He was completely on point when mentioning Patta being the first on that street
About to fly to Amsterdam for the first time in a couple hours and this pops up. Amazing!
Go to ‘Van dobbe’ trust me
Katsu was the best coffee shop to chill, Flying Dutchman to drink at.
Wine wise and eats go to Bar Pif, Alex & Pinard.
Honestly wasn't expecting much with this video, but not only did I finish it but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait for more!
Inspiration doesn’t come from just music iIt comes from living. Big up Al this was awesome 👏

Laser 3.14, great insight man i didn't see that at first, love some street art being archived at someone's place
My fav city. Peace from the UK bro 🇬🇧👊🏾
speaking as a Dutchy, love that you used Ramses Shaffy in the intro. In our family we call him the greatest Dutch artist of all time
Always nice to watch FTD from years back on repeat, and then being refreshed with some new Alc behind the scenes content
I come back to this video atleast once in a month, as a young artist this Video is giving me so much energy. Idk why but it just does , thanks Al for being such a great influence. Big love from germany
such an inspiration, i love watching him create and just talk about his process fo making a record

Shoutout to you for going to Tilburg

This man and Eric the architect are the goats of the modern era of producers! Yall the modern grandmaster flash and Dj kool herc.
“The Mecca” I love Dam. We was out there King’s Day, it was a movie 🎥
What a legend
That MC bit was truth. I saw GZA perform the liquid swords album and felt his eyes burning into my soul
Thank you so much for sharing part of your process and how you think.

He is literally hip hop Tony Bourdain, almost begrudgingly passionate, respected by real ones globally
Love these insights 👍🏾🫡
Amsterdam is beautiful. bought some of my best vinyl there, backin the day...

Got money like crazy yet he still so lowkey, modest and down to earth.

Alchemist forever a legend. Love u AL
This is like my favourite type of RUclips video
I’m definitely cut from that cloth of really digging but it slowed down once I had kids. It’s still dope to go digging when you get the chance
These videos are by far my favorite content on youtube
As a visual artist, I am inspired and honored to share the same era with Alchemist, one of the greatest producers of the western world. Love to all, stay inspired.

I agree he totally inspires me too, I love how he's so humble and down to earth as well.
