Chaos - The Album

This was stupid of them. Hopefully the album itself is more interesting.

Come on. Premo was making r&b joints long before. There's a long precedent for "real rap" producers getting into r&b and it has nothing to do with Knxledge (who I fukk with obviously). Badu approached Alc about working, not the other way around. And she's worked with multiple rap producers before (Dilla, Madlib, 9th Wonder, etc).
The album will be good, I still believe that. They simply fukked up this introduction - both the track and the AI art fukk up. I'm sure the course correction will be dope.
Erykah actually sought him out. you guys man
and Alchemist has a grammy with Anderson Paak for being part of the best R&B album of 2020 Ventura.
can we stop crap now?
the Erykah song is underwhelming but jesus christ are you guys doing the most... how can you say what he wanted? lol
if you know Erykah Badu you know she is the one that goes after hip hop producers personally from visiting Dilla at his lab to Madlib to 9th Wonder and now ALC. you inferred the most bogus shyt
So he just opened up his stems for The Realest for the first single?
I never knew this album was coming out, then I saw a Twitter post for Badu x Alchemist
And she singing over the The Realest 
y'all really don't know how badu record.Madlib and Dilla got classic Collabs with Ms. Badu
Al might expose himself with this one.
the project is her idea AND...
she chose what BEATS she WANTED..... but ALC should have said to leave that classic alone.
Alchemist didn't go out shopping old beats to Badu

as they should. AI is the devil.All the comments shytting on the AI video
.I'm not so sure now Alc hasn't really got any kinda track record making dope records with singers doesn't mean him and Badu won't pull it off but it's a risk. This first single more or less confirms that.
Think a full project with producers such as Qtip, Ali Shaheed, 9th Wonder or Pete Rock would be a better a fit. Although Premo has a good track record working with singers not sure it would work for a whole album.

As they should. Especially given that Alc has established himself as a dope curator of art. He always has dope album covers from doper artists. His videos look good. So to go from that to AI slop is wild to me and many others. On some level I get why someone so heavily invested in tools/programs/etc to create art would view AI as just another tool or program to create art with. But there's a stark difference between using tools/programs for human expression and using AI to imitate art. It's wack shyt and I have a feeling a lot of people we respect are about to show their ass on this topic.All the comments shytting on the AI video
