Benny The Butcher - Everybody Can’t Go (Discussion Thread)

[Heavy_Handz]

Word …. I was just thinking about that album that had the pig on there …. That shyt was fukking terrible

Real talk Ben be picking them hard ass alc beats since tana talk 3 …. I’m ready for a full Benny and alc album

Man, it’s not even that them rappers are wack but they get the throwaway experimental Alchemist beats

I’m as big of an Alchemist fan as everybody else but I’m not stanning every single beat he does just because. We def need a Benny/ALC album & I think the Benny/Conway album will def be produced fully by Alchemist.

Bunch of haters that wanna gobble on Alch’s nuts because he’s the white boy who reminds them of what RZA used to be 30 years ago.

Tight

This album is 2 packs of ass. Griselda fell off

 

[Ironman]

Out of curiosity I went through the album real quick just to see if I could pick who did what beat out...yea there's a big difference Uncle Al just different man

 

[Ironman]

WSG is wasting Armani I love how Spesh let's Che cut loose with her music. Armani has talent she's being held back a ton

[Deafheaven]

I never said Alch wasn’t good I like Alch produced songs, i’m saying the Hit-Boy hate is a result of people feeling somehow threatened that Alchemist’s “crown” is being usurped when Alchemist himself (in my opinion) ain’t no GOAT level untouchable producer. Alch is a product of RZA and other 90’s producers who did it ten times better than Alch himself ever did.


Doesn’t mean he’s not good but the absolute dismissal of Hit-Boy when compared to Alchemist is fukking disgusting.

Ok, first of all. You’re taking the Hit-Boy criticism way too personally

I don’t think anybody is worrying about Hit-Boy being compared to Alchemist as if it’s some sort of competition for legacy at this point. Especially when it’s blatantly obvious that Alchemist has been doing it for much longer than Hit-Boy & has his legacy cemented as an all-time great. I disagree with you about Alchemist being a GOAT level producer or not. He is. Actually, you bring up RZA but Alchemist been a better producer than RZA ever since he started truly getting more and more placements in the late 90’s. RZA already fell off by the time Alchemist was rocking heavy with beats like Keep It Thoro. RZA was not producing on that level anymore. Alchemist is a legend. You can say that and still be the biggest Hit-Boy fan. I can say that I like a handful of the beats from Hit-Boy on this and still say that compared to Alchemist beats on this project it’s not on the same level. I’m just being honest. The people have spoken. Respect it

I don’t think anyone feels threatened or anything like that. It’s not that serious. Don’t even think Alc sounds much like RZA either fwiw

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Gawt damm I don't like not 1 beat on this.

*edit I do like Jermaine's Graduation

Daringer produced half of bennys last album. It just felt long ago because it was 2022. In general Daringer doesn’t seem very busy these days. I assume they’re cool though

RZA has probably the best 5 year run of any hiphop producer ever and I don’t think that run will ever be touched. Where Al managed to creep into the overall top 5-10 status is with the longevity. Al never had a run of impactful albums like those early Wu albums and probably won’t, but he’s been top 5 must active producers on any given year for a couple decades now.

His output is just so much. And it’s consistent. I don’t like as much the beats he does for Earl or Armand Hammer or Mike and Wiki, but there’s enough stuff he does for others (Benny, Boldy, Gibbs, Conway, Spitta, Ev, Prodigy) that I don’t mind the other stuff that’s not for me.

And he’s made a lot of quality collab albums the past 10 years. He’s in my all time top 5 or 10, and in my top 3 personal favorites. I still have ahead of him all time RZA, Preemo, and Dre. And peak Havoc and Madlib I have ahead of him. But Al has so much more overall music released with artists than any of those guys. It’s crazy.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

The state of the album when folks would rather talk about Alc than Benny

Such a shame because his verse on Red Death was

I agree on mostly all of this especially Rza's 5 year run.... The Wu albums and solo albums were on another level during that run and he was at his absolute peak during that time. Every album taht dropped then I knew was going to have incredible production on it and could not wait to hear what was next....

It doesn't help that dude did all of the theatrics and hyping the shyt up like it's the second coming of OC.

Only for the album to be a mid ass turd with no replay value.

Hell I would replay "Won't He Do It" over this jawn.
