[@devonteMdavis]

Dope ass fuck to see him perform for a sold out show and then turn around and walk amongst the people unbothered.

[@flapdrol75]

And that is exactly why eminem hates his fame.

[@Cyleman]

Wow thats so cool, it changed the way i am experiencing and looking at the world

[@ggmbeats6133]

i met him in amsterdam while i was going to work indeed! crazy

[@user-gz1nv6nw3q]

Yeah but a sold out show in a small venue, is much different to a stadium. He's not a household name yet. Still underground

[@TurquazCannabiz]

@@ggmbeats6133 Same here lol. The weekend after Pride is when he filmed this I believe

[@Voltrical]

alchemist is the best producer ever 🫡🫡

[@leod8489]

Yea he's not beating preemo

[@sampleofspades1827]

he is beating in relevancy though@@leod8489

[@user-of6jv7rk7s]

@@leod8489 he surpassed him. Torch was passed and he’s carrying on tradition.

[@LateNightDateNight]

Body of work keeps building

[@noephotos_LA]

I been yelling this from the mountain tops for years now

[@jofstar]

During the intro to Amsterdam, the background track is Ramses Shaffy - Hallelujah Amsterdam. Al was already big on you but for implementing this track, you are a LEGEND. Ramses sadly passed away 15 years ago and will forever be considered a legendary Amsterdam chansonnier

[@sens125]

got my name thanks to him, Sammy

[@Sp8Ghost]

I put the track in there but to be honest I just thought it was a dope record didn’t really know the history or anything lol

[@raheazy115]

Being overseas is a whole different vibe when your mind is wide open 💯

[@Zildj]

This is so fkn sick, Alc. Can't wait to get more of these VLOG style edits from ya.

[@BristolBerg]

It is so fire. Fuk that is delicious spin off.

[@tylerw1892]

About to fly to Amsterdam for the first time in a couple hours and this pops up. Amazing!

[@svenvdv2880]

Go to ‘Van dobbe’ trust me

[@MB-ir1cr]

Katsu was the best coffee shop to chill, Flying Dutchman to drink at. Wine wise and eats go to Bar Pif, Alex & Pinard.

[@pjetrs]

This was great to watch, even as a Dutch person. Feels like seeing your own country through some fresh eyes. And you're a chill dude man

[@onceitisover]

Samesame it's fun to see

[@aamsterdam9547]

He was completely on point when mentioning Patta being the first on that street

[@danielcote1029]

Al is the hip hop Anthony Bourdain. Travelling the world, blessing us with his art while appreciating the fine offerings these different places have to offer. Stopping to take in his surroundings and appreciating the significance of everywhere he goes. Keep being you Uncle Al

[@VikLathia]

My fav city. Peace from the UK bro 🇬🇧👊🏾

[@jackdanngan7405]

ALC digging & listening "Trois Vieux Papis" by french singer Richard Gotainer, the record he nicknamed Sad Clown Music, priceless 😂😂 Big Up from France

[@Njitsgamez]

Nice to spot myself in the crowd there. Your performance was insane bro🔥 That transition from fear > we cry together blew my and everyone’s mind and you know it💯

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

Wish I could of been their to listen to that mix 😮

[@GwizProducer84]

Inspiration doesn’t come from just music iIt comes from living. Big up Al this was awesome 👏

[@jesser6229]

17:59 that guy has one of those graffiti quotes that can be seen all over Amsterdam in different locations, a different quote every time, I never knew who did those. Cool artwork to have in your living room.

[@BecomeSupreme]

went to billy woods' solo show in seattle, man definitely knows how to connect w/ a crowd - real MC

[@OLDMANWAFFLES]

Alchemist is a true crate digger like DJ Shadow, this reminds me of the documentary scratch. So fucking cool to see his process.

[@thomasyancey5887]

Love your videos and love to just hear you talk uncle Al. Thanks so much for all you do, you the man!

[@d0ntchange]

Didn’t even know how much I needed this at this very moment in time…this is special…I pray you make more of these when you can Lord Alc

[@DylanHaas610]

Always nice to watch FTD from years back on repeat, and then being refreshed with some new Alc behind the scenes content

[@yunusmulder8198]

Thank you so much for showing our city to the world like this❤️

[@jumbfinkleberg]

This is so sick man. I can't wait to see more of these videos. Love the vibes 🙏🏾

[@ethanandersen8051]

These vloggy episodes are some of my favorite things ever. Thank you, Al

[@theherbpuffer]

Honestly wasn't expecting much with this video, but not only did I finish it but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait for more!

[@heywella]

Was blessed to visit Amsterdam a few times in my travels. Fun times and GREAT people. Rotterdam, Tilburg, Utrecht and Den Haag. I can see why Al loves this place. It always seemed to have had a great vibe and was a really special place in the 90's and early -later 2000's when I visited. If you know, you know 💯

[@SaitouXD]

Shoutout to you for going to Tilburg

[@svenvdv2880]

Rotterdam is een kk stad

[@guuslombarts9004]

Yeah Tilburg underrated AF

[@hugovandenheijkant4009]

Tilburg’s ass, go to Breda

[@calculus8219]

Everytime that I'm having a bad day at the office with the pen game I watch people like Alchemist and the pen starts to flame. God bless you bro. These flowers I'm sending ain't exactly tulips from Amsterdam just a simple poem to say a big thankyou man.

[@jaspervandervaart6966]

speaking as a Dutchy, love that you used Ramses Shaffy in the intro. In our family we call him the greatest Dutch artist of all time

[@youngbrownskindizzy9410]

Always great to see alchemist be at anywhere still selling out shows and living life .

[@ChainsTheChef888]

I love this type of content and also Alc is living the life of a hip hop star for real! ima keep pushing for this we all can have it if we put in the work and hours

[@justcrash1ng]

We love you al! The show at Melkweg were Boldy had to join but he was in the hospital was still an amazing night, much love brother 🇳🇱

[@jackbradyclancy]

this is soooooooooooooo well made in a chill way!!!!!!!!!! they did an incredible job with this. so watchable

[@jackbradyclancy]

He is literally hip hop Tony Bourdain, almost begrudgingly passionate, respected by real ones globally

[@KingJamesXXX]

Salute uncle Al. One of the best to ever do it!❌❌❌

[@AmunSun3]

Its crazy when I was younger and first started listening to underground hip hop I could have never imagined how big Al would become. This vlog is so good. Glad to get a bit more insight into the inner workings of a sound scientist's mind.

[@evythefish21]

Not to be a dick, but Al has produced some of the biggest names in HipHop. Not to mention Dilated Peoples. They blew up, every whit kid w a backpack and a skateboard was listening to them.

[@mpchead621]

@@evythefish21You’re right, he was producing for big names out the gate. He started venturing into producing for more underground artists over time. Kind of the opposite trajectory that this comment described, but I agree that there was a lot we couldn’t have seen coming. It seemed like he’d reached a certain peak in like ‘04, and I wouldn’t have guessed that some of his best music was still coming like 10-20 years later

[@zbreezeee]

This was incredible Al. Much love my brother

[@alexanderclaylavin]

Anthony Bourdain is smiling down on you, you tireless genius. The way you relate the greatness of the art reminds me of my first hip hop show... Common Sense as he was called at the time in a small Northern New England club where an entire live band supported him, after The X-ecutioners then Rahzel got the crowd pretty warmed up. When he spit Hunger it was like time stopped or something. Which is why we can forever suffer no whack MC's. Amen.

[@madvillian888]

Watching and being a part of Al’s whole Evolution as it also coincidentally was the soundtrack to my own evolution is no joke one of the most amazing parts of my 50 year old life. You wouldn’t believe me if I told ya. Our fuckeen boy Al! Thank you man thank you.

[@strobolazer4082]

Got money like crazy yet he still so lowkey, modest and down to earth. BLESS

[@jnm92]

Was always in love with the music but this made me fall in love with the man.

[@NESClO]

as an amsterdammer its dope to see him understand the culture of our city and how the locals are the way the act

[@LastNameInTown]

This is dope asf! Since Mudfoot days you been killing it, thank you Al! ✌from Australia!!

sometimes going through records can feel like work but once u find that one sample it’s all worth it

[@cldrumbeat93]
