Is Alchemist bringing back the essence?...

[Dusty Bake Activate]

of whiteness?

Before black people reinvented modern music, it sounded like this.







Kinda like this...





Not a drum in sight.

That’s how all his recent shyt has been...very little drums, or even no drums at all. His lil homie Daringer too.

This gets quite confusing to think about. It’s like full circle culture vulturing or something.

alc production aint what is used to be since he switched from asr-10 to mpc, and imo worse off when he started on the 2500. also, alchemist self admitted that he was weak in the drum game.

pretty sure he switched to euro/eclectic sounds because of copyright shyt and to keep sample pirates guessin

He can be a snoozefest when given a whole project.

I know he likes to not add his own drum sounds a lot and use whatever percussion is in the sample as well. He has never had an emphasis on drums and more on chopping. Kind of reminds me of how 9th Wonder would use the same damn snare on every damn beat. Drums must be an afterthought for these nikkas

 

[head shots101]

To this day my drum game is weak as fukk

 

[L. Deezy]

I love Alchemist, but he is purely a in the car/headphone producer. How can an artist do a live show with no drums on a track?

Wrong.

Not true. That nikka has bangers too.

Yeah he has hella bangers. Not like every single beat got weak drums. But We have to agree to disagree. This nikka puts more focus into his chops than he does the drums.

I disagree, the two albums he did with currensy, the 2 with prodigy and the 1 with havoc were all

the only mediocre ones he did were cuz of subpar rappers. I'm talking durag dynasty and domo genesis.

Covert Coup was fire.

Have you not heard Rare Chandeliers or Albert Einstein or Covert Coup?
