  • Try sampling first, make something for us since you're already a master at it, should be easy.

  • Sounds kind of Nujabes-ish, i love it

  • @zxzrp0

    But sampling one instrument or melody and working it in such a way not even the artist of the sample knows it is there, that's the hard part.

  • covert coup was the shit

  • @DjSkyfaze covert coup had the rawest beats bro. i agree

  • @KebbyTheProphet it was so good i love spitta. perfect music to just kick it too and smoke some lol. smoke break is my favorite off that tape. the video for it is genius.

  • i love this :)

  • How something that comes from a man's mind and it's recieved, heard by others can't be called art? If you really think about it art is everything we create. Ain't building a house an art? Simple decorating your room might be an art (not artistic but just the fact of doing it). The way we talk to each other, behave... we create our own art without knowing it. OP: in sampling you can respect it as hard searching (vinyls). Documentary "Scratch" shows it.

  • @holy0damn As a music - sampling is based on heavy state of creators mind (beside of knowledge of tools). Music created that way is about mood mostly. Well i could write and write here but the main problem are people who don't want to get some wisdom and read or stop being ignorant.

  • i producer and engineer sound, and sampling is way easier than making one sound, saving it, editing it to change the sound, saving it, editing it to change the sound, and repeating that process. However, sampling itself is hard, you have to cut the sample out perfectly, (not to mention isolate it), because if you don't, the tempo is off later on in the song. Then, you have to work other instruments, samples, or synths into the mix without having it sound artificial. Producing is NOT easy at all

  • @theBestinThebizz95 and if you think it is, please be my guest and try to out-do alchemist or dr. dre. thank you, have a nice day.

  • @theBestinThebizz95 I disagree with how "hard" you make sampling sound. Just a bit of "know how" cutting\splicing\timing and fucking around. Engineering a sound....thats a different school altogether. At the end of the day they both make music, but, one took alot more talent where as one borrowed it.

  • Alchemist is fuckin dope fuck what a hater say

  • the sample is "baby blues" by the love unlimited orchestra you fuckin' retards with your filthy guessing

  • he said bpm 64 - 81?

  • @KebbyTheProphet When you are making a beat, you have to find the right Beats per minute, aka the Tempo, he had it narrowed down between 64 and 81, you could hear shortly after he said that, that he found it.

  • you either are dope or you're not - the method or instrument is simply the vessel. alchemist is dope - 99% of you are probably great people and some of you may even be good at the act of "sampling", but you are not dope...sorry

  • not NEARLY his best

  • my second favorite producer! Dr. Dre is my idol!

  • yo whats that beat at the ending ?

  • @yesterdaysnewque

    Prodigy- stop frontin'

  • if you think his beat was good check out araabMUZIK Studio Session With Alchemist

  • honestly could watch alc make beats all day. dudes a chemist in the lab of productions. right, hes al the chemist..

  • Ali Estee - Feel Me (Alchemist)

  • CHECK MY BEATS OUT

  • AL is a str8 up BEAST!

  • damn i need a beat

    BEN FAME

  • He got "THE NECK" yow!

  • Alchemist has to be one of the best music producers right next to J.Dilla

  • sampling is an art. whoever says otherwise prob making crunk. GTFO

  • He's got some magic going on there! DOPE DOPE DOPE!

  • how can you dislike this vid

  • Godamn This Beat Changed My Life ! Real Talk Big Ups ALC ! From San Diego With Love !

  • yo go to my page i spend all my money on this shit got 2 macs and a buncha other blablablablablablablah

  • i need a real beat machine 2 expensive tho :/

  • @djnevous3us work... and buy ! i work 3 month from 2500km from my home and sleep on floor to buy one. 

  • @glsmokerUS i have 2 jobs but spend my $ on other things i will 1 day i make beats on my mac tho

  • I respect Alchemist just as much premo from gang starr peace

  • Whats the credits track? @ 1:55

  • @a55666 stop frontin by prodigy

  • if any of you mutherfuckers knew anything about makin beats you would know how hard it is to make some thing that sounds dope like that so shut the fuck up kids

  • @gigabytekilla BULLSHIT!!!!!!

  • @gigabytekilla is not that hard only if your a weak producer..

  • @gigabytekilla lmao its not hard theres no instruments in volved just sound boards and samples lmao hahah no skill i mean yah putting together a beat is hard but who made all the sounds that go into a beat cuh musians

  • @chrissteezybezzy not really bro.

    sure sampling is just takin a sample from a piece of music and chopping it into a soundboard or sampler, but there's an art to it.

    you can't just go into a record or an mp3 and be like, "ohhh fuck yeah i'm gonna tear this sample up, watch me flip this shit just like that"

    you gotta make it your own, flip it around in a way that represents your state of mind.

    but that's just what i think, i've been doing this for only a year :P

  • @STBinFL lmfao :P

  • @chrissteezybezzy lol i'm just sayin' though :P

  • @gigabytekilla exactly bro...exactly amen to alchemist...god bless the birth of that man.

  • Probably the BEST producer today! Al, you are great!

  • thats shit is straight sic

  • you betta check ya self sucka

  • SOMEEEEEONE TELL ME WHAT THA BEAT AT THE END IS CALLED. ITS FILTHY

  • @Youngclassics2o6 - Barry White "Playing Your Game Baby"

  • Anyone who thinks sampling isn't art must think "Une Semaine De Bonté" isn't either.

  • @MurderToCassette music is just originally sampling many sounds from nature ... so ?? same idea = no problem ...

  • @MurderToCassette i tried searching that up what is it

  • @MurderToCassette and bittersweet symphony is a sample too!

  • @MurderToCassette I feel like some people sample and it adds to their musical ability and actually grow from the experience, for other it limit's their vision. It's usually easy to tell though when someone finds a sample and tries and make a good beat and someone who manipulates the sample until it becomes their own, much like in this video.

  • James Brown's career was dead (he was considered very uncool to listen to) before all of the hip hop producers started sampling him. Now he is at the heart of hip hop.

  • Check it if you like real Hip Hop and beatmaking!

    /watch?v=H1UoYHAU_D4

  • I want him to remake whisper softly by barry white ...I bet he would kill it.

  • YOU TUBE ===> PROBLEMZ SMOOTH HUSTLE <===

  • too bad alchemist is a douche bag and a punk on the streets ...

  • Taking a page from AarabMusik's book.. Big ups! MCP's the way to go now-a-days.

  • @nobadbeats nowadays? MCP' have been used in production since the dawn of hip-hop lol

  • Hip Hop has -always- been about sampling, paying homage to your roots, respecting your past, your culture, and your peers...

    If you don't understand that...GTFO.

  • this nigga beats goooooo so hard my nigga.

  • @Tyrellboy123 This kid named FreshSinceMyGenesis is ridiculous with the beats.

    /watch?v=MMy10cwQ9UE

  • great post fam...love it

  • people that talk shit about sampling don't understand the art of it, either because they've never made beats or are just garbage ass fruity loopers.. sampling exposes and entire new generation to older music ..and original artists get paid off of royalties when they become hit records. sampling is a beautiful thing, few people can appreciate it's craft.

  • @RickRomo PLus sapling takes work . A lot of it.

  • what's the name of the beat playing in the final seconds?

  • of course when these yuppie pink bitches see this cat face! they automatically say he's the dopest ever!! and as far a paying homage?? aint nobodies head be in that mode other than tryin to fit the shit on to their beat! I aint never heard MARLEY MARL or MANTRONIX say some shit like that! spirituality? most of these catz from back in the "day" where DJ'S first! today most of these catz dont even mix or scratch they just sample!

  • THATS HARD WORK...HOURS OF SOUND STUDY.....ALL RESPECT DUE TO THE BEAT MAKERS......PIONEER EMCEE RC...FLOWIN NON STOP TO THESE BEASTY BEATS....ALCHEMIST ONE OF THE BEST......

  • "the alchemist" BEST RAPPER OR PRODUCER NAME IVE EVER HEARD STRAIGHT GENIUS!!

  • what kind of speakers do producers use?

  • @iqmom2 Genelec

  • yo does anyone know what samples he's playing around 1:03?

  • It's funny how the asr-10 was "disguised"...

  • cool beats here :)

    

  • Dope enough said!

  • lol @ 1:33

  • god damn how he slowed down on 135,is soo fresh,who said white people dont got rythm skills

  • damn! Al had those beats by dre way back then!!

  • @Postman01 I was thinkin the same thing

  • This guy is fucking amazing i cant sample but originals is eazy

  • Its also hilarious how people bash sampling, when there's plenty of producers out there who's couldn't season a beat the right way to save their life. Look at Three Six Mafia when they swayed away from OJ Da Juiceman or whatever for an Alchemist track called "That'll Work". They couldn't even freak the beat, and the lyrics would have sounded better off on one of those 3 6 beats with too many high hats and bass with no tune, just bass kicks. Lmao. I can't do it man, I just cant.

  • Check me out. All songs in all genres create a certain vibe. If you yourself can change the vibe of a sample, then who else's creativity and originality is that? It's yours. You took it and made it original. When you take that altered sample and use it to compliment other sounds which create a new vibe, you now have your own, original piece of music.

  • o my gosh people, if you don't like sampling dnt watch a video about a producer sampling. and besides alot of producer that start from scratch come up with crap, and alot of producers who come sample come up with crap. what im sayin is good music is good music doesn't matter how u make it.

  • Well. sampling is an art, and i think that creating a song might be harder to do with recording a few records than with a big orchestra

  • @bartjuhh12 Hardly. Recording live instrumentation is a lot harder. When you're working with samples half the work (e.g. recording/ mixing) has already been done for you! There is an art to sampling, but recording live material is a lot harder.

  • @MrMikkiFunk Yes but thats just the recording. I mean you can let an orchestra play whatever you want,but with sampling you got little pieces of things and you have to be creative to make it even work.

  • J Dilla, ALC, Madlib, DOOM, Lord Finesse, DJ Muggs, RZA.... all dope ass producers that us samples... hip hop is it's purest  when it's over a sampled beat. it gives it that soul

  • alchemist is the best producer of my time if not ever

  • @TySoulMusic uve never heard j dilla then sir...

  • @TheSmashwell if you havent heard of j dilla and you claim to be a hip hop fan, you should stop. its just my opinion man

  • @TySoulMusic dillas was way better than alc...all im sayin...he still is from the grave

  • im from tha south and i must say, alchemist is fire. he should come down here and really get it poppin. its unity. much respect

  • what model MPC is he usin?

  • @JCXbeats looks to be the mpc 5000

  • @JCXbeats he's using the 2500.

  • can isay somthing the these pepole who say thy we cant make music and run your mouth about muisc producers better know we can make music and thats life and plaese dont make aneymore nasty comments about us from rappingman1

  • can isay somthing the these pepole who say thy we cant make music and run your mouth about muisc producers better know we can make music and thats life and plaese dont make aneymore nasty comments about us

  • Both beats go hard. But I really like that stop frontin beat.

  • that beat is hard

  • alphasxsignal , Actually what he's tryin to do is way harder than playing music lol , every one can easly make beats , not every one can make good beats

  • This isn't playing music. Ha

    They steal chunks of songs they never wrote and never give credit, THATS WRONG

  • @alphasxsignal If you wanna get specific with it. Thats like criticizing Jimmy Hendrix for not giving credit to the guitar string company for the sound of each individual not that is created from the string, pickup, guitar. Etc. Hip Hop is a collection of many forms of music that is why it is so widely accepted.

  • @TheStankles Still Composing takes way more creativity and skill then sampling. It's a fact, i know most of you don't want to hear it. I didn't want to believe it for a while but its the truth. And Before you guys start bashing me I do produce i sample and compose. (Not this account its not mine) :]

  • @TheStankles Thats not the same at all, He still had to create all the epicness and everyone knows he had a fender strat and the manufacturer of the strings had "used by Hendrix" on the packet.

    NEVER COMPARE A MUSICIAN OF SUCH AMAZINGNESS LIKE HEDRIX TO PEOPLE WHO JUST COPY OTHER MUSIC BECAUSE THEY CAN'T WRITE THEIR OWN

  • @bigmamafoamz wow. dont shit your pants.

  • @Tizer2k7 Don't talk shit you know nothing about then.

    Oh also i like shitting in my pant it's warm and comfy

  • @TheStankles it came from african americans who sang for freedom during slavery they clapped they stomped and used anything to make music then a while after slavery ended dj's in the ghetto came in then emcees came to sing about life the rough way the way rich ppl will never understand so really it started as one form n now is expanding even more b4 it was just basic now they use techno n rock n Etc. in their beats so your right but u didnt explain iin tht much detail how it started

  • @Machinamonster

    This music you talking about was around long before slavery. Men who specialize in telling legends over strings and beats of music. They are called Jali (or Griot in french). You can find the beginning on the banks of the Niger river. All the instruments too. People need to stop thinking every things black people create came out of being enslaved.

  • @TheStankles iam sorry we get tired of hearing all the WHITE CATZ shine more than their the ORIGINAL MAN! thru out BLACK MUSIC HISTORY, whatever we leave behind "they" come in scoop up all the crumbz and kept it for themselves until they only ones supposedly doin it! like all my brothers 40 and over who been in the game since the early 80's! we just say fuck it and turn the shit off! RAP MUSIC? and that's it??? i aint heard nuthin really creative since early 90's!! except for the OUTCAST

  • @TheStankles What a pile of bullshit ! Jimmy Hendrx's string could not play a whole chord sample when he plucked one note! This style of music is sheer plagiarism and nothing more! Id like to see what kind of shit this clown comes up with if you just gave him an instrument and said play! YEAH BOYEEEEE LETS STEAL SOME DUDES MELODY AND PUT AN AFRICAN BEAT OVER THE TOP OF IT MAN!!!!

  • @greeny202a

    Obviously you care more about technical skill than musical creativity. Its people like you who hold us back. You're so close minded as to what music is and isn't. That it has to be someone like sitting there playing an instrument.

  • @ShoeOfFlight Not so! I use a lot of Vsti's myself but using a sampled sound is not the same as sampling the actual melody or harmony which makes the hook of the whole fucking thing which is more or less what he is doing here!!!! The simple fact is anyone could do exactly the same as this guy here if they were stood where he is!!! Id like to see him come up with anything if you just put him in front of Cakewalk and said go on then!

  • @greeny202a Then why dont u do it? Why dont u make beat, that sounds good?

    A lot of producers acctually says, that sampling is one of the hardest thing to do, as a producer. Most think its harder to sample, and make it sound good, then it is to for example play keyboard.

  • @anhagene LOL how do you know I haven't done it? FYI I was making dance/house music in a band called MANIC 20 years ago with dedicated sampling machines because that's all we had then!! I know exactly how easy what he is doing here is. I don't mind this guy, if his stuff sounds good to you then his work is done but don't make him out to be some kind of musical genius because anyone who has to write REAL music knows better.

  • @greeny202a No fence, but I know nothing about how good ur music sounded either.

    I dont know if genius is the right word, but I just think he is one of many good hiphop-producers. I also listen to a lot of rock, metal and other stuff. I think when it comes to the instrumental part rock is more technical, but how I see it hiphop is more creative. Like u say, if something sounds good, the musician has done good job.

  • @greeny202a It's easy to learn how to sample however it is extremely hard to create something new and extremely good through doing it. I'm sure you are well aware of that seeming you weren't able to create any good music LOL I found it fairly easy to learn how to play a guitar but producing good music from it is another matter. Bottom line producing good music from samples takes talent, skill and a fantastic ear and understanding of music.

  • @Ducksexbody Well I dont know what you do but I have been in the music game for 22 years! I have produced all styles of music from Classical to House I am currently doing Video Game, TV and film scores and what you are saying pal is complete bullshit! If you sample something like the hook from Led Zepplin's "Kashmir" no matter what week ass African beat you shove in the background it will sound fantastic and clowns like this guy know it!

  • @greeny202a you wish you could make stuff this good

  • @teddygrambeatz Two points (a) No I really dont wish I made this stuff and (b) if you think this stuff is good you have a loooooooooong way to go.

  • @greeny202a I'm not referring to directly ripping something I'm referring to taking small pieces and creating something new like done in this video. I'd think seeming no one on here has every heard of you and you've resorted to going on to Youtube videos saying people have no real talent that would suggest the music you make is extremely bad.

  • @Ducksexbody Or maybe after making music for more than 25 years and getting paid pretty well for it I no longer see music as I did when I was 20 and in a few years of making shit like this so will you. When you start to age a little and come into contact with real music you will look back at your very young comments here and be a little embarrassed.

  • @greeny202a I listen to various forms of music you pretentious twat. 60's rock, Soul, Folk, Hip Hop etc. I also play the guitar and the piano. You are simply ignorant and make horrible music so spend your time hating on people who make a different form for a living. I think it's clear you need to grow up failure.

  • @alphasxsignal the way i see it is that when they recycle these beats, they are paying homage to the original artists and carrying on their legacy.

    if you don't like it then feel free to get the fuck out

  • @okaydad true talk bro! Carry out the legacy in the form of "hip hop" it is because of hip hop i started listening and predicating old song for the 70's .....

  • @okaydad true talk bro! Carry out the legacy in the form of "hip hop" it is because of hip hop i started listening and predicating old song from the 70's .....

  • @alphasxsignal that just proves how little you know about the art of sampling. when you hear a hiphop beat a by a professional, and then the sample, you will hardly recognize it. if you don't know shit you should shut the fuck up.

  • CHECK OUT THE NIPSEY HUSSLE SONG "PAINTED PICTURE"

    THE BEAT IS SUPER CRAZY!! ALCHEMIST!!!!!!!!

  • Alchemist is a true engineer. I love this guys beats. If my life had a price, i'd sell it for as many alchemist beats as I could possibly buy

  • creator of the tonite show albums

  • his samples*

  • DJ FRESH IF YAL HEARD OF EM HE KEEPS SHIT SO ORIGNIAL IS KRAZY

  • @omarg123ful yeah, his production goes hard as uuck, been listening to the tonite show since 06!!

  • @annttzzpa same haaa shit i

    been on this for uh minute !

  • nobody can see al on the mpc

  • @burntrubber11 what about dre and premo

    

  • @greendagger87 of course them dre and premo are gods among men i got carried away

  • whats the origal song the one the sample is from

  • Haha at 0:58 Alchemist was like =^.^=

  • My favs of all time ...Primo ....Alchemist...Erick Sermon...EZ ELPEE....Pete rock..no order

  • a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alchem­ist!!!!!!!

  • Its funny how alot of ALC's old beats were right on point with Premo's. ALC wasn't afraid to show that he could sound exactly like Preem, and then some. Look at Crookie Monster, Dead End Street, Guaranteed....Just to name a few ALC joints.

  • ALC and dre...LA's finest!!!

  • @sombermike ALC aint from L.A. He's from the Bay Area originally

  • What idiot decided that this vid wasnt dope and gave it a thumbs down?! 

  • for those who keep talking bout samples like it a bad thing. Yes I do not sample very much at all. However sampling is hip hop. Sampling is a skill. Not every1 do it well. Its not just creating patterns its the ear to know what to use. Sampling is more producing then beat making. Some of U will not understand that and its k. Do not down people for sampling. I love hip hop and if you don't then that is a personal problem.

  • @maltcus Hey bro I agree with you, but I sample instrument samples in about 95% of my music. Other than that, I'm the composer and producer of my work. Do you agree that not a lot of music producers like myself (Black Rain, INC.) DarkChild,  Channel 7 (Seven Aurelius) and others don't get the credit and recognition they deserve for actually creating music and music scores that are STRICTLY hip-hop or R&B based?

    Check me out man ReverbNation (Black Rain, INC.) or my channel.

  • @BlackRainINC1 yea I agree. The thing you have to remember. When hip hop started it was not suppose to be popular. Back in the day when rock artist sold 5, 6, 10x plat. hip hop artist was lucky to sell gold. So when people hate I just say its not for you anyway.

  • @maltcus Well said, bruh. Well said.

  • Classic.. Alchemist always gets it in. Been doing it for years. follow@jahzillabeats

  • @JAHZILLABEATS Exactly!!!! I've been a fan of The Alchemist's work since the beginning. In fact, he got my attention on the very first album that he produced on- Defari's first album from 1998 "Focused Daily". He did the title track, "Killing Spree", and "Checkstand 3".

  • bust be a very talented guy to make a beat just by chopping another....where are the real producers???

  • @TheDisasterdude You're dumb as fuck. Alchemist is one of the best there is.

  • all i gotta say is FIREEEEEE, amazing famz!

  • check out my channel been producing for two years

    and produce Hip-hop, Dnb, Dubstep & Grime Instrumentals.

    and do remixes.

  • i like that shit at the end.

  • @DJSTOMP the only reason kanye brought chaka on stage is because he was avoiding a cease and desist order and a copyright infringement lawsuit.

  • Alchemist would have a bigger impact if he actually played an instrument. Good taste never dies

  • @MoeFe sure would man

  • I need a MPC5000 asap 

  • 27 ppl that dislike dont like them selfs

  • whats the name of the song at the end of this video when its hits 1:55?
