^^nice post

Kanye is the overall better producer in putting records together. His range is crazy.

I know we're not voting just considering their latest beats but I was going to vote for Alc just off the strenght of his 2011-12 run. Then I remembered about Lord Knows and Cold Wind Blows. :wow:

Al surpassed Premo for my 2nd all time behind RZA, Kanye would probably round out my top 5. Just is in the top 10-15 range, he did a ton of crap when he was in demand but his good shyt is undeniable



DJ Premier is 50 times iller than Alchemist, homie.


you be fukkin' up sometimes.


Al's lone album of note, Return Of The Mac, is maybe as good as The Ownerz...but not really.

just blaze music doesnt age well

ive never heard anyone say that, what makes you feel that?

as far as Premo vs Al, i mean its close as hell but i like that Al never is afraid to experiment. Premier has played it safe for 10 years for no apparent reason, he does the same thing all the time. his sound is unique and legendary, but he never leaves his comfort zone. that my only knock on the guy

I picked Just Blaze.. Because I don't think he's even reached his full potential but has still produced great tracks from radio friendly to underground to straight up street shyt. He can also go from epic to simple and still sound at home on the boards.

On another note.. don't see how anyone can say Alchemist is just simply a "beatmaker" in comparance to Kanye West. He's just as much (if not more) of an actual producer than Ye is.. The difference being Alchemist doesn't experiment as much and seek out producers/instrumentalist like Mike Dean or Jon Brion to do his work for him. He sticks to what he knows best.. chopped samples and loops. Just because his overall style of production seems a bit more "simple" than Kanye's doesn't mean he's a beatmaker.

On some real shyt though, I've never heard anyone ever compare Alchemist with Kanye..
Quality >>>>> Quantity. Being a producer and beat maker >>>> beat maker. Origination and influencing the game > not. Classics >>>> not classics. Wide Range >>>> Narrow Range. I can go on for days.


The only people i've ever heard compare the jew from beverly hills with someone like Kanye, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Premo, Rza are white "real/underground hiphop" squares.
