Prodigy: Stuck On You by The Alchemist - [Sample Breakdown]

[DillaTUDE]

Wish he still chopped samples up like this, probably my favorite era of Alchemist production. He definitely doesn't make beats like this anymore:

Some other beats during that era:

 

[Dizzle]

What he did on that same album with "Bang On Em"
Those chops are stupid.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I definitely miss that heavy chopping era. That batch with P had stupid chops. Like @Dizzle said Bang on Em had crazy chops. Represent Me as well with the changing chops every 8 bars. Stop Frontin had some slick chopping too

"Tick Tock" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

One of my fav beats ALC from that era and no samples was used

its funny once you start producing

these sample breakdowns become funny

all you gotta do is hear the sample and see nothing more
the more I see, the more you laugh... this stuff is more for people who dont make beats

they rarely doing some crazy technique or switch to really confuse you... not hating I just laugh 95% of the time.

Yeah, I was going to say, before I started producing chopping shyt up used to be impressive as fukk to me. Now that I know it's as simple as mapping shyt across pads and playing around it's kind of lost it's appeal, sound wise as well. If you can flip the whole mood of the track, or chop it up and put it together in a way where you can't even tell it was chopped up, then I still feel some kind of way when I hear it, but chopping just to chop with the constant stabs just sounds kind of... corny.

I still fukk with all these beats, but his new shyt is so much better, technically speaking.

I’ve been looking to get one of those machines. This definitely made me want it. I’m not a producer at all lol

Yeah he definitely has a lot more subtle chops now where they're less noticeable.
