Alchemist - Hold you Down (Instrumental)

[@realstrumentals]

That a-a-a-a-a-a-alchemist producer tagline is one of the all time best

[@GeronFletcher]

Perfect

[@thefiqster]

I recite it in the shower so it echos. Dude is for real son !

[@shoota_sb]

Wish me still used it today

[@Sayiiid]

​@@shoota_sb He does, he just uses it sparingly

[@K.Huncho]

I seem to find you everywhere I go🤣🤣

[@christianrosales4612]

still one of the dopest instrumentals

[@joeyhuey8340]

mf doom got some dope ass beats.

[@joshuawest5967]

yup

[@christopherterry4978]

Rainybeach5tre caution tape!!!

[@TheTwentySecondDegree]

I remember when this came out, I was moving from USA to Canada. and when I got up north, no one heard of this track... it wasn't until 06 I heard it again.... what a classic, it put me on to Alc (one of if not THE best producer imo)and even Prodigy (RIP).

[@crazycreewilliams]

I was probably the only one up here in Canada buying his cd the 1st Infantry I got into him cuz I loved mixing instrumentals and accapellas on virtual dj lol way back

[@fathertime2357]

Alchemist and Scott Storch produce real hip hop, this beat touches my soul, I wouldn't freestyle over this beat, that's how much respect I have for this beat, I listen and feel.

[@TOMMY-xc6ou]

If you do freestyle. It has to be true to the culture and actually be a true freestyle. Nothing written. And it's imperative that you flame this s#!t. I mean really lose yourself and go in, make people remember it... That's how you show respect...

[@KR0OK]

@@TOMMY-xc6ou i freestyle but never share it unless I know it has meaning

[@schematicb5393]

@@TOMMY-xc6ou Nah man, I can't listen to something this great and not write over it. It's like a piece of my soul that I didn't know was missing

[@NEECHEE]

alchemist soo ahead of his time

[@quiettimegaming3642]

when this fist dropped me and my boys would beat box this beat to freestyle to... I miss those days. I haven’t freestyled in over a decade. It’s Amazing how things that were once so integral to your life can fall by the wayside with time... kind of depressing if you think about it for too long. I guess that comes with the territory when you reminisce.

[@mohammadshabih5293]

The alchemist is my favorite producer by far. & I’m from Memphis where we got an entirely different sound.

[@slayone7077]

Alchemist is really underrated.

[@gunmonz]

To who? Every real and I mean real hip hop head know Alchemist😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hiarllyalmeida06]

he's not underrated

[@tomkun_]

This word is too much used, the real underrated ones are the ones who have only 500 viewers/listeners or less (if i’d hit 500 people with my art I would be happy tho but you understand what I’m saying)

[@bahiyudreed3595]

damn I be wanting to rap circles round this beat for the longest

[@RankOne0121]

one of the best rap beats ive heard ngl

[@ville-aleksitamminen7194]

Most talented of sampling with great style.. never let go of that minimalism! Thats why I can't touch to records anymore.. your style ✊️🤝

[@rayhinchliffe2063]

This be is NICE. Simple and NICE.

[@UmarAli-pu6bx]

[@rodriguez2393]

I remember we use to freestyle on this so much and so long man those where the days

[@KrazieSevenSign]

this is the realest statement i have ever seen on youtube ever...

[@JSmithRecords]

One of the only beats where I don’t really wanna write any lyrics.. I wouldn’t do it justice.

[@trap4thr33mynameisdarrell9]

hardest beat ever hands down

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

"Retarded as fuck"? Uh, there's nothing about him that seems slow. He's clearly very intelligent in interviews and down to Earth.

[@Garrett1240]

No, I definitely never watched Ancient Aliens, lol.

[@Garrett1240]

I'm a renaissance man, a true throwback.

[@EMIN3MFAN96]

Dick Head i think part of the reason he may have seemed slow was because most of them were high out of their minds. If you think Action Bronson or the other dude that was smoking seemed more intelligent than him then you're crazy lmao

[@Luis-rm9tl]

Es lo más increíble que he escuchado

[@alexmatthews8124]
