Keep It Thoro came out in 2000 and he's still going

Easily top 5
hell no. not a knock on alc at all. he's first ballot hall of fame. there's an argument for GOAT underground producer, maybe. but overall? everyone i would put above him can match his quality AND they had mainstream/crossover success, introducing non-pop artists to pop consumers.
alc's biggest strengths are consistency and how long he's been able to maintain that consistency. i dont think that qualifies him for GOAT status. rza is a perfect example as to why. i dont think rza has a legit argument for GOAT because his run flamed out (others i would rate above him successfully adapted as times and the sound of hip hop changed). but what has alchemist done that would put him above the the run rza had from 93-98?
dre was on the hot 100 charts in four different decades. making gangsta shyt. alchemist can't fukk with that.

Rza
Preme
Dre
ALC
Eh maybe itโs always so hard to rank greatness but the fact he still working with the top talent of the game say something
Kenny just use him for his diss and he was on for all the dogs

Heโs too 1 dimensional. But heโs mastered his signature sound
He might not even be top 10 if you ask me.

Hardly likely:- Dude been making the same type of beat since 2000, but with a software update
- After a while those "gutter" beats get kinda played out after the first few times of bumping
- When I think of greatest, I think diverse sound...which Alc doesn't have
Pharrel, Just, BBTP, and Kyrsis pop up in my head concerning of all time.

he needs a universal smash to be up there with the GOATs
Alch at his best ainโt seeing prime RZA, Kanye, Dre, Premo or Just Blaze
All them had higher highs than Alch ever managed.
Stop gassing that white boy and have some common fukking sense.
