In all seriousness, at what point do we start saying Alchemist is the greatest producer ever?

[J-Nice]

Dilla, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, RZA, Madlib, 9th Wonder, Flying Lotus, Nujabes, Havoc, DJ shadow, DJ quik, The Neptunes, and many more are ahead of Alc for me.

Lol mad lib overrated as FAWK

He is at least top 3 for me with Havoc and Just Blaze. But he cranked it up something serious in the last 5 years.

Classic singles...check
Classic albums/tapes ...check
Variety of collabs...check

My nikka has worked in three different decades with people across the map. And this is with relevant rappers, not some obscure dudes that nobody has heard of. Only legend he hasnt worked with is Jay-Z. Only top tier rapper now he hasnt worked with is Wale. People seek to work with Alc.

Not many people have such a large, diverse body of work as alchemist.

From the soulful introspective tracks, to the I'm gonna punch a nikka eye out tracks to the random bangers he can make it all out. Alchemist mayve just passed Havoc. BREAK THE BANK ON REPEAT.

no this fool did not just say wale.

premo is great at what he does in a different era, his shyt sounds too dated now.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of most white artists out there, and I'm the first person to say hip-hop is black culture and white people are guests in it. That's my opinion anyways.

This will be my very first time on this board sticking up for a white dude. I don't think it's fair to hold that against Alchemist. He's not a culture vulture like a lot of white cats in the game, and he's as knowledgeable and immersed in the culture as anyone else. It shows in his music. His music is amazing, and he has the respect of everyone in the art form. Jay-Z is pretty much the only artist that he hasn't worked with.

His music is incredible and he's been working consistently since the late 90's. Like I said, I'd put him in my top 5.

Man it shouldnt even have to be said

Alchemist is great and prolific, but he's closer to 10 than 1 for me. Definitely prefer Quik, Premier, Pete Rock, Madlib, Dilla, RZA.

And at anyone saying Madlib is overrated.

fukk outta here

Premo's sound holds up because newer producers still havent mastered the subtleties of his craft.

premo hasnt made a beat i really enjoyed in years , nobody wants to use 90's sounding beats in 2014 thats why.

ill take current madlib also over him.

Hes Top 10 easy
