Full Masterclass available in the description 🔥

[@Heimelhead]

Bout to sponge it up! So insightful and inspiring! Check out my improvised drum and MC work while my buddy plays bass! Keep in mind we don't write songs, we just play them.

[@ayoonine]

AL been in the game 30+ years and is still killing

[@Aulart]

The King of Sampling 🔥

[@SPAlNKY]

FACTS!!! A dope producer 👊🏿

[@SPAlNKY]

​@@AulartI don't know about that. Alchemist is definitely dope, but the king of sampling (imo) would be Premier or Dilla.

[@thablackkat9905]

He's still killin' the music while his former partner in rhyme is killin' the film industry and has a hit show out on Fox that was put together by Tyrin Turner (Menace II Society) and Jamie Foxx.

[@Aulart]

@@SPAlNKY DJ Premier and J Dilla 🐐

[@ChainsTheChef888]

That bassline is the real sauce in this beat forreal!

[@Aulart]

It is 🙌

[@daeone1514]

That beat lit. Music is timeless. Vintage equipment is timeless

[@guillaumecarteret1642]

Alc rockin the ASR 10 !

[@Aulart]

🙌🔥

[@daniel_dumile]

In 2007, he said he had to get it working which means he hadn’t turned it on in a long time

[@theybeonbody1309]

GOD LEVEL GRIT

[@AreDouble]

These are the sorts of Alchemist beats that I really enjoy.

[@Aulart]

We feel you

[@obscuresoundz]

so many classic tunes alc has done; he def a top 10 producer

[@Aulart]

Benny the Butcher - 5 to 50 (and just to name one of his hardest beats)

[@Yah_Mean]

*Top 1

[@devilfromhell8546]

AL, Madlib and Dilla for sure my big 3

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

Al a beast for rocking 16 chops on the ASR 10 without a choke group or mono mode. I could never get myself to use more than 3 or 4 chops on the keys. The MPC spoiled me with that capability once I graduated to one. I love my ASR 10 though.

[@aaroncatolico7550]

Alchemist is the KING of "underground" East Coast beats. I don't think anyone else chops samples as good as this dude does. He's the CHAMPION - the GOAT🐐🥇🏅

[@MOREBEATSTV]

We literally still sample like this but in FL. Edison into Fruity Slicer. Very simple but effective

[@datboycoot]

That Trition clap mannnnn

[@PorchTalkwithLORENZO]

So legendary and I hated that clap 😂. Everyone used it.

[@Aulart]

@@PorchTalkwithLORENZO It is a classic!

[@eljefemoreno]

Infamously used for Clipse “Grindin’”

[@schvartzniger]

Which one kit is that?

[@eljefemoreno]

@@schvartzniger the Korg Trition keyboard

[@Abschieben]

what a swing in this masterpiece

[@thedrumbroker]

Amazing. Been a pleasure to work with the Alc

[@denmark383]

I didn't even pay attention to da song, now I gotta listen to it, that beat is killa.

[@Preech.Avangelist777]

This has always been my favorite unreleased Nas song of all time..... Blessings alchemist if I can get a whole album that sounds just like this from you and Nas it will change my life forever. Bless ui brotha

[@stilllyte]

Crazy thing and I literally just found out myself 10 mins prior to seeing your post is the song isn't unreleased. It's on Alchemist's "The Cutting Room Floor 2" album 8.2.2024 est@1327hrs NYC

[@DrBigFMC]

Layering the snare with a clap is fundamental but very effective 😮

[@TehSyneS]

love that synth and string combo!!

[@Aulart]

🙌

[@Bittamin]

Oldskool forever baby 🎉 I do my best to recreate the vibes with what I have, much like how the artists back in the day were doing the same thing. There’s so many tools we can use, but I’m almost 100% stock logic ,and use a ton of the legacy sounds. That, and some good ol sampling 🎉

[@damienrogers1114]

I remember Alchemist and prodigy in studio making beats on the ASR video

[@Aulart]

RIP Prodigy forever missed 🙏

[@juraganbeat]

Thank you for bringin Uncle Al

[@Aulart]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@DanielIvan707]

AL + ASR = God Level 🙏🏽

[@Aulart]

Definitely yes 🔥

[@kincamell2]

I" designed it, rhymed it, flow classic You askin' who am signed with? The real deal's Ill Will"- Nas I think I heard this on Off The Cutting Room Floor,I'm glad I bought a copy of that.

[@corywilliams458]

Dope!!..Super Simple!...Yes let the Artist finish the building the track!..Nice Frame Work of the Beat!

[@Aulart]

🙌

[@samjones4327]

Peace to Alchemist and Nas! Tru Masters of the art and thank you for sharing this video! Peace & Blessings🙏🏽

[@Aulart]

Thank you ❤

[@PhaceizDaname]

this is soo dope... i always loved this joint.. beat is flames.

[@eyesintheskies]

Just got myself an asr10 so to me this is like new technology 😂

[@eyesintheskies]

@@mic9check i knew exactly what i was buying thank you very much. Very happy with it, currently exploring the transwaves you can make with it. Sounds excellent just as a synth! Effects are awesome. Always wanted one finally found a good deal that i could afford. Not exactly sure what your problem is?!

[@eyesintheskies]

@@mic9check whats so funny, they sound great, legendary machines.

[@kirkstate]

Best investment in your art you will ever make, don’t let no one talk you out of it

[@eyesintheskies]

@@kirkstate appreciated 🙏 glad someone knows where its at! I knew they were great samplers but its actually surprised me how many tricks its got under the hood... Loving it 😃

[@Aulart]

It's normal, it's like when you took the training wheels off your bike as a kid 🤣

[@samsilk945]

Oh the ASR10, my first workstation/sampler! I loved this machine. I had to sell it under duress..

[@cresplove]

dope beat 🔥💚

[@jessedewayne2304]

I remember buying this mans CD when I was 14 years old first infantry change my life

[@beatman284]

Did he use an output expander to seperate the tracks to individually mix each track or just dump the whole beat out from the stereo L and R outputs?

[@michaelcalderon6693]

Omg that beat is crazy! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Aulart]

Definitely 🔥

[@gravityacademyrecordsoffic3828]

Thank you for this. Shout out Alchemist. Flipping the ASR

[@Aulart]

Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@u.sbanban]

how much yall paying this man to reveal his secrets

[@arazie15]

[@anthonymanzalji]

The secrets are found in the crates. Nothing to see here.

[@happ13e]

Right this is good inspiration.

[@beardedelephant3023]

Loved the ASR

[@Aulart]

[@KennyLauderdale]

One of the best

[@EP-yj9ww]

The 🐐 in my opinion

[@FibonacciWhale]

Legend

[@gdiggedy9]

I wish Alc went into the origins of this song since it didn't make any album. It was definitely album material. I kinda wish we were getting Nas +Alchemist instead of Nas+Premo at this point in time.

[@LaWdHaveMercy4]

I wanna see how he made Fear!

[@dre7sus]

Genius 👑💯

[@Aulart]

The Sampling King 👑

[@2ndnature777]

SHOUTS OUT TO MY UNCLE DOING BIG THINGS IM NEXT UP KEEP AN EYE OUT UNC WILL LINK UP SOON

very weird mic audio considering it's an audio channel

[@jazzzdesko]

man could make a beat on a toaster and still make it sounds like this

[@Aulart]

Those who know, know 🔥

[@Phonophobia]

"Mic, stand, booth and an ASR; pantyhose from my mama clothes and I lay a bar" Every time I see an ASR10 EV pops into my head

[@Aulart]

What a combination Evidence and DJ Premier make!

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

Evidence is definitely team Ensoniq along with Joey Chavez, RZA, True Master, Bronze Nazareth, Prince Paul, Jake One, Kanye West, El-P, Blockhead and MYSELF amongst a few others.

[@mossberg2430]

AOne ft. Berner - Quarter Mil [Prod. CheezeOnDaSlap] where it originally was sampled 😉

[@DXTCHBEATS]

Great video, who’s excited for the upcoming alc x mobb deep album? 🔥🔥

[@Aulart]

Havoc and Al are sure to crush it, RIP Prodigy 🙏

[@Preston_Taylor]

Anyone that makes tracks, when you do that “nose itch” you know you’re cooking up…you can smell when it’s a hit almost, if you know you know

[@FOGHEAD_]

[@PorchTalkwithLORENZO]

🔥🔥

[@reginaldrobinson1714]

YeAh

[@Heimelhead]

Mistakes are what makes humans' music beautiful. I don't want perfection in music (same as a good woman). I want to love the flaws. Similarly, I want my guitars to be worn down in the places that weren't done by a relic specialist in the factory; And my jeans' holes to tell the stories they were torn from. These artists are the relics. Ppl say that (insert genre here) is dead, but when is the last time you peeped the scene? When AL was talkin about slowing down the keystrokes to swing the beat the way he wanted, thats the stuff that seperates us from them. I joke with my bass player all the time that we are only ever out of tune with each other when we stop playing! So my prophetic pathetic ass sees real MF will be pitted against the computers, and thats when we will bust out the schwifty style music that resonates with all heartbeats, and is simply just an expression of presence in the moment! Long live the groove

[@pongtrometer]

ALC strictly HIP HOP

[@Aulart]

Definitely!

[@neazybanga]

hoogvliet, bang bang bang la desh
