I kind of have a debate within myself, DJ Premier I grew up with and bought every single Gang Start album. And he still puts out good beats from time to time. Being on big albums like Drakes and still relevant today but I feel like his best work behind him.

The Alchemist I feel hasn't fallen off his peak. Still consistent since the day he came out. Yeah he may have a few duds here and there, but so much good s*** comes out that it is unreal either way. Still getting major placement albums from Kendrick to Cole, I feel as a whole, he is better than Premier.

So that's it. The Alchemist is the GOAT,

Where do you have The Alchemist in your Greatest Producer of All Time List?

Q-Tip/Dilla, respectfully

@op post the best alchemist beat

Off the top of my head

maybe this one

Preemo may be past his prime but his peak was insane. Alc is not coming close

Id put him behind kanye personally but he’s definitely up there

Nobody ever gonna top Dilla to me.

El-P and Madlib better but he’s up there for uno

hes not my fav but he has a good case

no1 gna argue

He ain’t #1 but he up there. If someone had him as his #1 I wouldn’t be mad at it

Exile >

With my username/avi do I even need to answer

top 5 alltime

He’s up there

Can't be; he's White.

Alc is easily the most prolific producer of the past five years and his quality is unmatched among anyone else rn

He EP’d GTA V’s immaculate soundtrack and radio stations

Absolutely classics in the past

He’s certified

Here we go

DILLA & LIB WOULD LIKE 2 HAVE A WORD

ALC TOP 5 OAT FOR SURE THO

Top 10 to 20

el-p over alc? in what universe

maybe like 25 years ago

no

el p bruh?

Hes one of the GOATs for sure

Neptunes, Timbaland, Preme, RZA, Dilla, Madlib, Dre, Alchemist, etc he feels right in that convo

I personally think if people listened to even 10% of his production discog (the depth of his catalog is insane 2010-present alone) there would be no need for a debate. Man’s beats are like street halal food for your ears and the number of styles he’s perfected is ridiculous. Whereas most producers stick mostly to drumless loops or lean heavy on boom bap you truly don’t know what you’re going to get with an Al beat but what you do know is whatever it is is going to be incredible. Listen to We Gonna Make It, E Coli and Sensational Sherri and think that the same guy made all three of those. Hey Paul!
