Alc is a G. He's been in a hell of a run the past few years especially. The records with Armand Hammer, Boldy James, and the others are all sick af

[@joejordahl6787]

him and boldy are a dream team, they complement each other so well

[@T10_E]

Idk any of those artists

[@T10_E]

Are they hipster rappers?? Most people al produces for are hipsters apart from bbb

[@Kocks212121]

@@T10_Ehe doesn’t work with jcole so no

[@jamillawebb3567]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 he definitely has top notch chemistry with Boldy James

[@constructcollaborative]

he became such a legend... he became The Alchemical

[@lith1156]

lmfao

[@pastense]

Have we got it wrong this whole time? That’s a fucced up Mandela effect lol

[@jrobbin24]

Prodigy said chemistry on the beat On that incredible track basics off of the Tony touch album. My guess is that was his production name early on after he was doing the whooligans thing with Scott caan

[@peterkeleher]

every time i learn about Alchemist i realise hes even more advanced than i think - surely a top 5 producer now?

[@gregorywilliams2962]

You should do a Madlib or Black Milk video. 2 top notch producer's that get slept on in my opinion.

[@gilbertolopez7387]

Black Milk is seriously under the radar, I hardly ever hear him get brought up

[@clarqmusic]

I love how you reverse engineer songs and explain the fundamentals of beats. Great content!

[@incognitotees]

it's a great album and i really enjoyed the production of that album. RIP Prodigy!

[@jknock148]

Yo Navie, dope video as usual. Let’s not forget Alchemists latest works; dude is STILL killin it That new album he did with Larry June “The Great Escape” is amazing

[@jeremyzamorano4774]

That last beat literally blew my mind. Help is on the way but I will never be the same after hearing that

[@mazéforam]

Always teaching us with awesome content. Much luv from Brasil Navie!

[@tdunn1907]

Return of the Mac will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a full theme album like a movie back when everything was club bangers. Plus Prodigy. Classic.

[@tunkj9132]

I already loved his production prior to. So when they had a full project I swear, I still bump it till this day. This one belongs in the Smithsonian.

[@onistone]

It seems like he knocks out a whole album in a week. It also seems like afterwards some of the artists are going down the street to make some tracks with Muggs. I like the music camp formula, it would be so dope if he would invite producers also and have three studios going. Imagine getting a Method Man album produced by Havoc, Alchemist and Premo!

[@rundajulesproductions7735]

I never thought that beat was that impressive since that BW had already been rocked by so many people including Buckshot and BDK. I prefer the more obscure samples he uses. I really wish Prodigy had a chance to stick around longer. He was always one of my favorites. He walked that fine line in Hip-Hop btw Philosopher, Poet, and Thug. Respect In Progress.

[@kevhidalgo2352]

Alchemist blows my mind with those instrumentals. Absolute Genius.

[@jtjimenez05]

1st infantry is still a classic, marathon is still his top 3 productions of all time, nuts!

[@moderateswag69]

I remember my uncle coming home with this album, and I remember buying ringtones of this 😂

[@OMDAT]

Man I really wanted that pen. (great vid as always)

[@MvnStn]

Interesting and informative, Navie. That collab with you and Weaver was dope too!

[@Jens9807]

typo in the title btw. It says The Alchemical, not Alchemist. Great video as always though

[@DAMExESPACIO]

great video bro.. perfect breakdown

[@MIDAZSITH]

Uncle AL..Hands down my favorite producer!!

[@inthegutter78]

blessed to have return of the mac signed by Al

[@derrtyfinball5254]

return of the mac is a classic & prodigy is my favorite rapper. i appreciated this video. 💯

[@esahm373]

Serato Sample made these kind of collages much easier, since it's so easy to get samples from different sources into tune without compromising the original quality of the sample too much.

[@lucasgarcia8986]

I just watched like 10 of ur videos by far my favorite beat channel on youtube thank you!!!

[@unknwntx]

Alchemical is one the greatest

[@Dubbudha]

There is another interesting aspect. The first 2 chops of the "stop fronting" beat are from a well known sample. After hearing the first chop for several times, people wait for the second chop. Finally he reveals the 2nd chop, but not as expected as he uses only a short part while adding some more sounds. A great way to play with the expectations of the listeners..

[@esahm373]

You mean the "Dramatics - In the Rain" sample?

[@beatzis1195]

This gave me a lot of insight on how to get creative with samples and even layer them. Thanks my guy!

[@alexandersamz9741]

He's my model too, I love his beats.

[@whuddyadoin]

u love Al so much, and so do o7 Griselda

[@SFMTV214]

That Return of the Mack is a classic. RIP Prodigy

[@JS-vz4je]

Great breakdown Navie, would love to see some diving into his newer productions as well!

[@ruqone]

Return Of The Mac is absolutely incredible.

[@antwanthorogood4921]

Dope video! First video from you but certainly not the last!

[@skaas5800]

I thought the sample at 6:20 sounder familiar. It was also used in AZ - Mo Money Mo Murder (Ft. Nas)

[@jcprugh5459]

These videos are awesome. Thank you Navie

[@tommyvercetti1873]

This new content You have been putting out is amazing. Such pity You wont be able to know this because of illiteracy.

[@samosaking9119]

Love ur content! The Stop Fromtin was not a new beat when this was released.. its a slightly tweaked version of Black Moon’s classic “I gotcha Opin”.. so the foundation was already there. Perhaps it was a homage to Beatminerz?

[@ax543tuu8]

You guys got to listen to Broken Bottles! That shit is insane

[@dkproducer]

I agree re the collage. I think Pete Rock or the Bomb Squad were the first to use the collage approach but the Alchemist definitely put his own spin on this!

[@Chidie]

3rd video in and subscribed. Great content and format. Keep going.

[@daniel_dumile]

This is Madvillians influence on the industry

[@80thsnd]

Love your videos bro, keep it up!

[@mutedmutiny9542]

Original heads, original crooks, doin it like this Black Moon - I got cha Opin remix used the same Barry white sample

[@Justsomeguy2749]

Hey! Love those album analysis, i know you probably wont but you should do one on the dr dre produced 2009 eminem album relapse. Its my favorite produced album. P.S. Did you hear the new alchemist ep, i think it was dope

[@ScantlessBeatz]

I watched that interview and feel like I need to rewatch it. So many great producers inspired me. I love how u use serato sampler and fl studio those are 2 of my main tools great videos.

[@edasheg6]

Do you have the link?

[@thatsit5049]

I love this style of video, it inspires me to be a better person

[@ScantlessBeatz]

My guy how long dose it take to make your videos and edit? These are bar for bar break downs really done well.

[@vashbeats]

I really wanted that pen.

[@alexandersamz9741]

You love alchemist bro.

[@papaevolve1305]

also you should make a video of j dilla don't cry instrumental he chopped the kicked and the snares with the melody and placed anywhere

[@josh5457]

Wow, I recognize every sample in "Stop Fronting" from other classic songs. Black Moon - I Got Cha Opin (Beatminerz Remix) The Diplomats - Real Niggas Big L - How Will I Make It He must've been nodding at these songs by picking these samples haha, he even uses the same sections

[@wireroom7939]

Good stuff navie..!! U kinda remind of alchemist a lil' Alchemist is 1 of my favs producers no doubt

[@macofphilly]

ah my favorite producer, the alchemical

[@talkinterps8677]

You had so much time to edit the title.

[@xBUMSKIx]

Great video

[@Trill104]

Alchemist has been producing for a while; I thought he was overrated UNTIL Freddie Gibbs and Cormega “Glorious” song. He immediately catapulted out of the “Overrated” terrain. I don’t know what engineer or mixer he game across, but the improvement in the sonics of his track took his beats to an elite level. I almost thought Dr. Dre mixed his shit it sounded so good!

[@skilletburritos8464]

Eddie Sancho is the guy who mixes many if not all of ALC's beats. Infact he's a Longtime engineer for ALC, if anything Sancho improved or found the sweet spot for mixing ALC's beats. And I know exactly what you mean about the sonics of his music, I've noticed the change over the years being a huge ALC fan since like 2001.

[@kinduvabigdeal100]

Alchemist been a beast, just go back and listen to Got It Twisted and Dead Bodies.

[@NerdyFrames2000]

HEY! THATS WEAVERBEATS LINE! LOL. Love your videos

[@aproducernamed2436]

on point sir

[@67BYTES]

always learning something from these videos thanks man

[@67BYTES]

also would you have any insight on the bass sounds he used on Evidence's Red Carpet?

[@damiaansteyn9902]

you should also talk about the difference in his stereo image thru the years

[@boogieboogilly3470]

Hoping for the blue pen

[@jcastle2620]

I want that pen!!

[@GregoryPLoomis]

I produce music and the alchemists was one of my favorite producers I would study. I worked at a car wash when I was 17. My boss played nothing but the 80s. One day “weird science” composed by Danny Elfman or his band “Oingo Boingo” and Alchemsit chopped up 2 parts of that entire song snd made “Got it Twisted” by Mobb Deep. Go listen to “weird science” and see if you can find it!

[@beatsNonStop]

Please mention Dilated Peoples in your next Alchemist video :) good job on all your videos.

[@garywalker3701]

Cigarette Boats is what got me into Curren$y thanks UNC

[@simian504]

It’s been three months. Who won the pen?

[@simian504]

Liked & sub’d, btw

[@boombaporiginal3359]

Rah you actually did a video including real samples 😮😂 Still like to see what you could do with your own tracks and vinyl samples...

[@aliprimtoke]

Basic tbf but still legendary

[@neilraphael707]

Great breakdown

[@pierrefontaine5684]

middle of the ocean

[@kryspy5160]

the alchemical

[@badslipmats]

1 min intro not bad!

[@iamaquastonethrone77]

This whole idea of even producing a video like this is so funny to me.

[@dozhadeville444]

3:14 This made my music addiction relapse! 😮‍💨🤯🥹 Thank you

[@keejay12]

I love Alchemist's beats. And I remember when The Return Of The Mac first dropped lol. I may have to listen to that album today as well I work Thx Navie #BBGang

[@NavieD]

[@bbundles5763]

Soooo navie…. Did anyone ever win that pen? I kinda want it 😂

[@mrnd01]

I’m here for the pen 🖊️

[@ProdWhoisChase]

Super dope vid

[@sty723]

Dude, I fucking ❤ how you can break down beats that are sampled down to the bare notes used. I made beats but never used samples……guess that’s why I’m not famous. Oh well. Maybe I’ll get recognized for my originality……

[@jaxxtraxx]

That's Black Moon's chops!

[@leptismagnum]

Please, make video about Azide bests

[@grantdelarosa3734]

Can you do a Fred again video

[@centralcoastcommunitywatch]

[@IXXOPRODUCTION]
