Why do the biggest rappers not use Alchemist?

[Art Barr]

alc, has never had a large drawing record to warrant being used by higher drawing acts.
plus, they are not going to turn him on.
when, he does not make music that typically warrants or can capture a higher draw as well.

I always found that strange. Eminem over Alchemist for an entire album sounds like it would be crazy

I think it would be interesting how his beats would guide his sound. I mean as far as label shyt goes I understand why they don't do much, shyt would be more like a mixtape vibe and wouldn't hit all the bases but and they ain't they simply don't do free music over there, I don't see why an EP couldn't work though.

Still wondering if his contract is up or if he resigned or what, I would be dope to see him go that semi-indie route so a project like this could drop with no fuss.

 

[SoulController]

its hard to say, theres really no good reason. he can sample some shyt and chop it beyond recognition, cant be all money. Em has more money than he can handle in a budget and still uses lames like Denaun Porter

Ross fukked up not using Perfectionist, Q used him and it was one of the bright spots on his lame ass album

i always saw that as jay basically doesnt fu.ck with mobb deep since 97 ...

alc is like the third member

Alchemist has done plenty of beats for artists that dont fukk wit Mobb Deep though

 

[I love Latina women]

i think a lot of it has to do with the most popular rappers just going after the sound that's gon get them radio play

most goin for that dj mustard and mike will made it sound because that's what sellin' right now

 

[SubLyminalz]

you know for a fact if someone asked for a standout beat from the past few years nothing would come to your head

except break the the bank. stop it

he released a album last year with standout beats

 

[MMM]

he released a album last year with standout beats

Pretty much this. It's not more complicated than that.

 

[Pool_Shark]

Q used him for Break the Bank on his album.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

I love ALC production but i admit all his beats still sound like they came from 2004.

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Q used him for Break the Bank on his album.

They didnt use the original beat tde had issues clearing the sample someone in there camp redid the beat.

 

[ThaRealness]

Probably Weezy.

"U aint got nothing on me" was the most mainstream shyt Alc has ever done.

Great fukking song too
