4 Techniques The Alchemist Uses In His Beats

Alchemist never gets old no matter the era and no matter the current hip hop wave. Navie D back with the producer 💎

[@NavieD]

It's pretty wild how long of a run he's had. Almost all of his contemporaries from when he started are off the map but he is still making music that people listen to

[@keejay12]

@@NavieD Facts. Hes like 9th Wonder in a way. Stayed in their own lane and stayed true to it and that spoke for them. Alchemist production resume is too damn major for anyone to ever disrespect him. Hes worked with all the hip hop greats. I might go and make a playlist with all songs produced by him now lol

[@keejay12]

@@NavieD But that gem you dropped how he uses other types of one shots as a way to transition is crazy. I gotta use that in my beats now. I appreciate that man

I know you’re not one to ‘toot your own horn’ but these videos are super helpful for inspiring me to do something different instead of what I usually do.

[@NavieD]

Ooooh awesome man. Happy to help push your boundaries my friend

[@dashizznitt4998]

Love The Alchemist. I remember I first heard his stuff through my older cousins cassette tapes (Back in the 90's when I was a snotty nosed kid). Then later I got into Dilated Peoples, and I would say, him and Dre as well as a lot of 90's producers/beat makers like you said, Dilla etc. all deeply influenced my love for Hip-Hop. You broke a lot of the things I notice in Alchs production method down very nicely and it's incredible how much this can improve modern producers methods in keeping one very important thing strong, and you point it out quite vividly. That is, to accomplish the same goal but switch it up with more uniqueness. This very aspect in production is what I believe is at the heart of all hip-hop from that period. And Alch shows it in his beat making methods, in which you point out very well and guide us through like a real boss. Thanks Nav, you are a producers delight.

[@idesel]

The textures made the beat interesting and unique.

[@NavieD]

Yeah, in terms of pure music theory, I don't think these beats are insanely complex. The aesthetics and textures is what does the heavy lifting

[@infinitybeats6649]

dude all the beats you put together for these explainer videos are always sooooo smooth. I really hope to be able to make stuff like this one day. Cheers man.

[@red0ctane19]

Man you have turned me on to so many amazing producers. Always been somewhat a fan of Dilla, but never listened to much of The Alchemist or Madlib and stuff. Studying their music has helped me so much, and then on top of that you drop knowledge like this really breaking it down? Thank you Navie, my man! 🙏

[@NavieD]

That's wild. I always just assume people have heard these producers but maybe I assume too much

[@red0ctane19]

@@NavieD Haha right?! I've definitely heard of them over the years, but for some reason never checked them out. Took me awhile to get into my own with music as I had an older sister that introduced me to all her terrible new music, and parents that ONLY listened to late 60's and 70's rock. Lol. Been using pandora again to find amazing artists that I've heard of but never given the chance, instead of just reaching for what I'm used to. The Freddie Gibbs × Madlib project has been amazing!

yoooo. i've been producing for 2.5 years now and you're one of the first guys that i learned from on youtube. it's crazy you posted this video because ALC is my primary influence as a producer. Madlib is my second. What I love about this video is that I discovered these things subconsciously and applied them to my beats thru practice and now i see my favorite KZbinr making a tutorial about the ideas I've come across organically. I appreciate you & your channel bro! Keep up the great work.

[@CaldoHits]

Thank you for this. Your work is amazing.

[@NavieD]

[@oskr__who8755]

Such a great video. I often find that out of convenience, time, etc. that I just use the same sounds over and over and my beats sound repetitive. But now my scope has been broadened. I need to practice playing around more with the adsr to really shape sounds to fit the idea that I have in mind rather than just saying fuck it and completely going away from my original plan. As always, very thorough Navie. Much love to everyone.

[@NavieD]

Big Oskr! I know that feeling, choosing sounds for expediencies sake. But yeah, mixing it up every once in a while and exploring new sounds can help you find cool new ways to execute ideas

The constant sample playing is tonal and actually has a lot in common with pedal tones from musical composition. This was something I've done unconsciously up until now, but thanks to this video I now have a new technique in the ol' foot locker.

Dankie, Karim. You deserved that Ballon d'or

The Alchemist is one of my favourites as well! I haven't consciously seeked to emulate his style or anything, but after watching this I noticed I have done these things pretty naturally in my music as well.

[@NavieD]

You are subconsciously learning!

[@deanivan3951]

Well that's because it's not his style! Alchemist is a hiphop student and makes hiphop the way artist's from the 90's made thier tracks.

that first technique was pretty nice the first time i heard it, i didnt notice this single pad sound, but it really adds to the beat (subconscious sounds are great)

Another dime! Iv felt that using unique sounds for transitions/and or just fx in general, its much more interesting to use stuff people don’t expect to give it some nuance. Gonna definitely put that envelope to use now. Thanks man!

For sure, I try to avoid using regular old crashes in beats now

[@Bucknorris]

THIS!!! THIS was and IS EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED to continue the Growth of Great HipHop and Music all together. Al is super dope. I’m also a fan of Daringer as well, kind of seems like he’s Al’s little brother (kind of looks like him too lol 😂) Great Video.like and Sub. • Just have a quick and easy question… 1. As a Musician did you know (you probably do and probably have a video about it, if so please direct me to it thank you ) but I heard you talk about “spaces” and “filling up spaces” in a few of your videos , again my apologies if you’ve already covered this… But when I’m “sifting beat’s” I DO NOT CARE what the Name is , BPM’s, who made it, why they made it or anything… • ONLY thing I look for is: • A. Did the Beat Maker leave “a space for My (or a) voice to be an actual instrument? • And If they did… I listen for about 10-15 seconds if I like it, I look through their catalog to see if this was a “one time find” or it’s actually how the beat maker make’s beat’s. • My question is did you know that most artists [Great Artists] (consciously or subconsciously) do this? • And did you also know that most of the top Producers in the world do this? • And if so do you do this? In my humble opinion that’s what make’s Al The Producer so great. Notice how he is usually working directly with the artist. I know you heard the Newest CD that Be Dropped, sounds NOTHING like Alchemist Beat’s… My Assumption because he made it for himself which A LOT of Beat Maker’s actually DO subconsciously. I have a low Barton voice, 50 Cent meet’s Yo Gotti but I’m From NY… Upstate but have been going/living down south for 5/6 years but people have told me My Whole Life I sound like I’m from the South. Lol Anyways… point is: (In next comment because this one is already so super long lol 😂 ) #welcometobucksworld #bucknorris

[@Bucknorris]

… continuing from My Last comment) • I’m sure you are familiar with the song Rack’s on Rack’s… While My Brother ( #kiddrama ) and I Remixed that… didn’t spend much time on it cause it’s a remix but for him and his high to possibly high midrange voice was super easy for Him. Actually, he killed it… now for ME… uuugghh 🤦‍♂️ He literally had to show Me how to catch the beat and I still said F’it and just did My Thing. (It’ll be up posted here on Our Channel @bucknorris by the beginning of the week, shameless plug) point is… THAT BEAT was NOT at ALL made for ME. Not just because it’s not our song but because even YC (the human who made the original for those that don’t know) knew it wasn’t made for him. He found it… and put vocals OVER IT … just like EVERYONE on EVERY REMIX. My Brother @kiddrama is actually extremely special he can actually move THROUGH almost any beat you give him. That’s his talent besides all the things you can learn. And the way I raised him in this Hiphop is to master that… just listen to his “Look At Me Now” Remix. ONE TAKE!!! (Except the intro, adlibs and outro of course. Every time we went into the studio he would get ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. Took a while but he got it and Yes I have it on video. Lol 😂) Anyways, I have been fortune enough to FINALLY find a Beat Maker that I enjoy not only sonically but also as a Human. Lol 😂 BUT same situation… we have been working on a collab EP for over a year or more now. So he sent me a pack of beats. Let me hold them for a few weeks like 30 (after I listened to his beat store and said what I needed) I chose the one’s I wanted… he sent me the stem’s. Idk why (maybe cause I wasn’t thinking…) but I sent the beats back that I didn’t want. Long story short. We can’t find the stem’s to the beat’s. Again, this is a beat maker that is rising fast and getting paid much more than a split with an artist that does below average number’s. Lol 😂 Anyway’s point is: Almost ALL the beat’s he sent Me were like he made them for ME and MY VOICE… (My Little Brother was in prison at the time and I thought the project was going to go faster than what it has. • BUT TO CONCLUDE… Of course I will find placement’s for Kid Drama on The EP called “The Chosen One’s” do out midsummer 2023… BUT the features I already have? #glassesmalone from the Westcoast who has a Deep Voice with that Westcoast Bounce to it on a song called “Nipsey’s Hustle” Yes, Glasses and Nip were great friends. I’m also trying to get YG on it as well. We gone bring the WHOLE CITY OUT for that one. Song is pretty much done and has been for a while now, just not an opportunist, A Talker? YES!! Lol oppertunest? Na Bro. I’m good. Meaning I didn’t bring the song out at ANY of the times most rapper’s would of to get the most clout. I’m good with all that. I respect Nip, Glasses, Lauren, YG, My Beat Maker and of course Myself to much to do that. (and Yes these are supposed to be boom bap type beat’s) listen to “The Monster Is Back” and you’ll see what I’m talking about. It’s actually the first single off the EP. But also feature #grea8gawd who also has a deep but a little higher range voice than Me. Also, will have #griselda but mostly #benny and #conway. #westsidegunn and #kiddrama might have a few bar’s on it. Also, Jelly Roll & Mickey Factz but that song will be mostly My Brother Kid Drama and I’ll have just a few bar’s because I thought the beat was for Me but after hearing Kid Drama weave in and out of it, and it’s a little bassy it’s perfect for them. • I say AAAALLL that.. to say… • Did you know this about Artist’s and Beat maker’s? • Do you notice I don’t use the word producer A LOT? That’s because Unless THE SAME PERSON make’s the beat’s, engineers the sessions and help’s PRODUCE the PRODUCT I can’t call a Beat Maker “The Producer” or “My producer” which is short form for Musical Producer which the MUSIC is NOT complete without the vocals. As you see I do Executive Produce the projects… but NOBODY call’s a Rapper a producer they call them a rapper or singer, or Vocalist, etc. • Lot to unpack. I already know. I do hope I added some value and didn’t waste your’s or anyone else’s time. Remember… don’t forget the artist is also an instrument… Feel free to check out the songs I directed you to and leave some feed back (most are just MP3 beat file’s and an amazing engineer lol Anybody looking to work… I do work on split’s. I have made Beat maker’s residual income since 2015 and they are still getting check’s once a month. So feel free to comment on My Video’s where I can find your beat’s. Thank you for your time and you are appreciated. P.s. I also have two other surprise features for “The Chosen One’s” EP.

I got them from Splice I believe. You might have to dig but you can find some cool sounds there

These producers like alchemist and producers who produced for underground musicians in 1990’s and 2000’s was ahead of their time from the future
