Now i ain't gonna front... Alchemist is edging towards being one of the best producers ever in my eyes but there's a weird background around him and some shyt he gets away with that I can't let slide.

Hes fathers a Jewish man, astute businessman and alch was born in Beverly Hills, whatever we all know this, but this just the foundations.

Even tho he was with the soul assassins he really made his big time come up when he moved to NY and somehow got in with the mobb. They thought he was Feds but nah he wanted to just make classic music, alright cool.

This dude is the only guy that samples the most obvious 2-8 bar loops and has never caught a lawsuit in his life... Ends up djing for ems crew etc etc whatever right.

At this point he's just looping shyt.. Adding effects with his hardware and calling it a day... He's literally running on autopilot because he knows he can sample a loop with no drums and everyone's gonna eat it up.. Cos he's already established right..

I dunno man but to me.

How is he getting away with just looping samples with no added drums to the shyt even... I once saw a Q&A with him and someone asked how do u get away with sampling what u sample... My man's answer was "do what u do and let the lawyers handle that"
..
Sounds like a straight up rich jew answer to me

Does anyone else feel his comeup is kinda weird? Hella talented man but wtf kind of wierd?

alot of weird circumstances


and when people ask why eminem didnt ever use him :sas1: even though he can make sample clearance go away :sas2:
that shyt dont be adding up

he does grind harder than most but I wonder how he got into the pipeline and all encompassing all at once after the mobb shyt
plus how does he reach out to certain cats but other established cats dont really get play out of him

but then muggz is just chilling? :skip: I know its preference in what an artist wants to do and some shyt does line up like shady/griselda link
but alot of shyt is real strange .. you can name 50 underground producers that didnt have 10% of the trajectory that he did. I love alchemist but that shyt is real weird

pretty sure he’s gotten sued alot but if its not a big song its not gonna make news. madlib said in an interview that he has been sued alot but it never makes news

No breh, this is not how shyt works around here. If thread starter didn't see a post about it on The Coli, it didn't happen. There are zero threads about Alchemist getting sued so you do the Coli Math.

I am with thread starter, its SUPER WEIRD that a guy who started as a sound engineer in the 90s with a guy who did major records with Cypress Hill, Xzibit, House of Pain and many others would have connections to branch off and work with others!
