The Alchemist - The Alchemist Sandwich (Discussion Thread)

[NZA]

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

it was an old head at guitar center that started this. he told RZA you arent a real musician if you dont write sheet music. ever since then, RZA has been more into written compositions and sounds that are not grimy enough because they are not real samples

it's still insane to me that RZA bought into that shyt from one guy's opinion. At this point too even most musicians that play instruments don't look at sampling in that archaic way.

I don't know if it actually is, but I think Reese's Cup might be the same piano sample as Mysterio.

It is on youtube now yeah

I hope he drops the instrumentals. I need to jump on a few of them hoes

All the instrumentals are out except for Big Syke and Clip in a Tray. On youtube, spotify, or apple music just look up Alchemist Lunch Meat EP or Bread EP, and the last 4 tracks on each EP are the instrumentals

I’m a sucker for the keys, Alicia too

not buying the wax for 2 new songs lol, ALC the goat but damn he kinda pimping the vinyl game now

I get this. On the other hand there's a lot of vinyls that I've missed out on, including both those EPs. Artists may have newer fans (or even older fans that missed out) and would be happy to get it. I can't afford to give hundreds of dollars to reseller sharks on Discogs for the original EPs. I honestly wish he'd do this with more of his records that I missed out on.

Damn this is fire af...wish it was someone better than Westside Gunn but I'll tolerate him when the beat is this lush
