Alchemist and 9th Wonder have messages for Nas...
- Thread starter TheDarceKnight
- Start date
And Timbo and Dre and Kanye. And Madlib (in terms of underground).
Pete Rock is the greatest producer of all time but he got stale around 1997/1998. Trackmasters got stale around 2001. Marley Marl didn't even get a chance to get stale, Pete Rock and Premo just came and took his window. Dilla didn't get a chance to become stale (I think he would have went commercial or been forever growing like Madlib). Premier and Quik are a rare case of having timeless sounds that'll never go stale. Both of them make the signature sounds for their coasts (East and West).
Nas over Madlib "Cocaine Pinata" type beats
Alchemist was always a poor man's Madlib to me. Even though they came out at the same time, still. People who are Alchemist fans should be even more of a Madlib fan but many of those folks don't know much of Madlib's music outside of Madvillainy and Piñata which is annoying because he has 60+ projects under different names and aliases and mad hidden gems.
You can't tell me Nas wouldn't sound amazing on these Madlib beats

MadliberatorI used to hate on Salaam Remi until I heard him on Juan Epstein and realized he;d done way more shyt I like than I realized. But I agree. Just cut a couple Salaam joints down and get a few others on there.
The crazy thing is you know if Nas went out to CA or NC for one week that Alc or 9th and him could cook up an entire album and it would be at least 4 mics.
9th would put in major work for Nas at this point. You may prefer Alc and Nas but 9th would still kill it.
Imagine if Madlib or Nottz could get into the picture.

I've read somewhere that Nas is a unique artist to work with. He really likes when the producer is in the studio with him and the engineers and whoever else. Who knows how long it takes to write a song and all that has to meesh etc.

I have been saying for 4 years nas should make an album with madlib, alc and clams and have all 4 of them hole up somewhere for a month...esp madlib if anyone...he'd have to knock it off with all the dialogue sampling though lol

That's damn near no lie. Nas my favorite emcee, I'd have to say the way I don't even really check for him anymore is disgraceful. Really, it was Untitled that made me like "awww man, my nikka Nasan alc and 9th nas album
i havent liked a nas beat since like 07

Occupy different lanes.
Plus Madlib's been doing it since the early 90s whereas Alc is only 15/16 years deep.

Alchemist is a more polished producer then madlib ever was... both are great... would never diss one r the other they go hand in hand.

I'd be disappointed at any Alc fan that wasn't also a Madlib fan. The only difference I see is that when Alc came out he was clearly a Premier influenced guy. So much so that Evidence told him he needed to cool it and find his own sound instead of biting after joints like this.
But Alc always kept that Preem influence for years, and IMO it wasn't until he linked up with Oh No that he started getting more Madlib influenced. he said he missed a lot of dope music in the 00's because he didn't listen to barely anything outside of what he was working on or his affiliates. But he said Oh No put him onto Madlib and MF DOOM and that those became huge influences, which is obvious IMO if you listen to his stuff from the past 5 years.

You said it simpler and better than me. Alc became the go to guy for the street banger or the gritty joint, and that was mostly what he did for a long ass time.
I wouldn't be mad at a couple joints. Large pro still has heat and Preem has enough in the tank to make another couple Nas heaters. I wouldn't be excited at a full album with Preem anymore though...I mean I'd buy it but there are other collab albums I'd prefer.
Gotta make room for Salaam Remi
Alchemist been on fire for the last few years, come on. I'm not even a big 9th fan anymore but I bet he could lace Nas with something dope.
Breh can you imagine if Alchemist gets into his first slump in 15 years the ONE TIME Nas decides to finally fully collab with him?
Knowing Nas watch that shyt happen
Nas is done, his flow is weak and his subject matter is worn, if he were to make a tape with alchemist then dude would need to release its instrumental equivalent cuz I'm not listening to an album with tired struggle bars

Would love to hear a Nas album mainly produced by Salaam Remi with additional production by Alchemist, JUSTICE League, Just Blaze, Timbaland and maybe someone from the south since I like how Nas sounds on south beats like the Pimp C and Jeezy joints
