The Alchemist - The Alchemist Sandwich (Discussion Thread)

[Danie84]

I wish RZA would smoke some dust and just lock himself with his equipment for a week. Only old gear. Dawless...

I feel if RZA was truly passionate about Hip-Hop he could easily give us another Wu 93-97 era; diggin back in those sample crates like how ALC kept us fed while The Abbot's been entrenched in Hollyweird

Hollyweird pays better. I don't blame him, but i do miss him though man. I know he got another Cuban Linx in him, probably several. But his thinking PROBABLY is, "nobody will buy it"

 

[Funcrusher]

He get's too carried away trying to be Bobby Digital instead of making the stuff from 93-2000

I'd pay good money to hear what's in the vaults from the 90s...imagine LS and Cuban Linx leftovers

I like the EP he did with DJ Scratch tho, some vintage stuff on there. But yeah, that wasn't him producing.
I'm glad that we have Alchemist these days.

Me and my boy used to say alc is floating around that top 5 zone around 2015 time

7 years later he's not just in my top 5 he's sitting at number 2 for me behind Rza.

I don't think Rza will ever be dislodged for me because he birthed so many styles... Chopping samples with the vocals still in them, the layering of so many samples (u could say maybe bomb squad perfected this first) , sped up soul samples. All methods which Alc uses beautifully and never switched to some weirdo shyt.

RZA is the GOAT

 

[Kaydigi]

Alc a straight up GOAT...30 year career of making dope ass beats, never sold out, never changed up to fit goofy trends (maybe he overdid the 2002 sped up vocal samples...always despised that sound outside of RZA's OG work)

Alc>>Timbaland, Neptunes and any of those other trendy mid-2000s digital trash produces

Alc>>> just blaze (just blaze is MAJORLY overrated, his beats aged like shyt and sound stupid dated)

Alc 1000000x >>>> fukking Swizz Beatz trash ass

Alc>>>anything Dre has done post year 2000

Alc>>>>anything RZA has done since OB4CL2

Finally embracing his CACness with this lame title

 

[beenz]

how do ya'll tolerate westside gunn? he's one of the worst rappers I've ever heard. completely unlistenable.

 

[u mad son?]

Wait wtf... I've heard every single one of these songs before?

Oh nvm just read the OP. It's a money grab.

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Have the original two vinyls. Gonna skip & just download the bonus songs. Seems like a cash grab. Can't knock him though. Gives a chance for everyone who missed out originally to cop.

no doubt. I'm a vinyl head and missed both of the OG drops. I'm actually surprised they stickied this thread
