This dude has been sampling straight loops for nearly 9 years now, not to take away from the dudes artistry and skill, he brings a loop to life and every now and then he chops the fukk out of a track but recently all of his projects have been a collage of samples.

How can he be doing this for so long without getting hit with a lawsuit? I saw his response to this type of question in an interview before and he said "let the lawyers deal with all of that, just do what you do" ... Jew connections? He aint making as much money as people think? He's just that much under the radar?

I make beats as a hobby and I've just stumbled upon so many of his samples inadvertently its unreal, literally anyone skimming through YouTube for samples will wind up on the same playslist as Alchemists.

What you think?

Edit: Same can go for Madlib

LOL at "jew connections"

nah, it was the lizard people.

:snoop: it only took the first two post to bring up him being jewish.

btw, he might not be in it strictly from the money. alchemist grew up in beverly hills, so it's safe to say he came from money.

He definitely came from money. From what I understand middle class by Beverly Hill standards is upper class for most of the country.

The idea that alc is in hip-hop for money is kinda wild you think about it. If he wanted an easy money route he could’ve inherited his pops’ business or something. He’s had money forever and saves it. No one is in it for the money that locks themselves in a studio, 24/7, leaving only whenever they have to. If you’re making 5-10 beats a day, every day, you’re in it because you’re an obsessed person.

Al had a really dope quote from years ago that I applied to life in general. It was basically like “do what you love and if you’re smart about it, get good at it, and build good people skills, then the dough will come. But if you only do what you do to chase the dough then you’ll end up paying for it one day.”

I’m paraphrasing. But that was the gist of it.

SINY!!
Alc and Madlib get placements on major albums cleared. Alc’s mentioned that he had to give up all his publishing for Break the Bank on Oxymoron. Madlib also spoke about how RCA helped clear all the samples for Bandana.



Timbo caught a case for Big Pimping and that was some obscure middle eastern record.

Middle Eastern & Indian/Bollywood music labels/publishers aggressively pursue those who sample them......

He's a Jewish man who was born and raised in Beverly Hills. How do you think this man clears samples? :mjpls: It's perks to being part of the tribe, you know?
