Alchemist vs Madlib

[Urbanmiracle]

Alchemist is a dope producer. His grimey style is top notch.



But Madlib is a music god. He is more multi-faceted than an alchemist who can do any with samples and MPCs. Madlib can do anything musically. He comes from a musical family and he plays a host of instruments. That adds to his production.

And to answer one point, we are talking about beats here. The instrumentals. The loops and drums. The music. I don't give a fukk whose rapping on em. Madlib may not have worked with Nas or Jay or whatever, doesn't mean he isn't known or dope. He been doing this for 20 plus years and made unknown talent become known. Alot of artist have reached out to Madlib for tracks

Kanye West
Common
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Freddie Gibbs

Madlib is just Madlib. Top 2 producers ever. Him, Pete Rock, Dilla, Preemo, Dre (well back in the day) are the gods of this production thing. Alchemist is a level down with 9th and em. Dope as fukk.

DJ Quik needs to be on that list, but the rest of the post is on point.

two of my top 5, Lib has calmed down the past few years hope the Gibbs album comes out in Feb as announced

here is a vocal track for that Dear God instrumental, Jay Elec used it before he was famous. its actually a Dudley Perkins song but hes terrible so that dont count

 

[ThaRealness]

oh man... Madlib easily. He has one of the most creative production styles in hip hop.


I even think he can do the soul sound better then Alc when he tries

 

[street heat]

alchemist and its not even close. madlib still thinks its cool to make beats that sound like they were recorded on VHS.

 

[ThaRealness]

i mean are yall serious ? madlib aint makin shyt liek this neither!!!

Of course alc has the harder edge to his production he came up with Mobb Deep...

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

I'm Team ALC, but I love Madlib's style. Dude will make a beat out of anything.

 

[ManBearPig]

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

That VHS sound is exactly the appeal to it. It's analog as fukk
