I listen to a lot of experimental producers and still check for new ones almost daily on SoundCloud. Plenty of producers that do his style waaaay better

this is facts

Scott was a session player at first, and then eventually turned into a producer himself

These collabs are also full collaborative efforts

Like it isn’t just Al emailing some beats, He’s recording and mixing most of the time. Also helps structure out the albums and works in the transitions

Crime this a s*** thread

Op u forget how unlikeable knx is. Hed be dilla status if he wasnt a whiny b**** about everything

I stand corrected.

Nah for a couple reasons

He was in the game first and worked with bigger names than Knx has before Knx was even a teenager

And Knx lowkey sabotages himself by being standoffish and anti social and just doesn’t want to be as big. He could be bigger if he was hungrier. Alc is big because of collaboration. What collabs does Knx have

did alc have money like that growing up? I don't know his history much

Btw 2013-2017 Knxwledge was looking like The One. Don’t think he could get back to that place or state of mind again. RIP Stay Inside

How does this cross your mind and on top of that how do you evaluate that this needs to be typed and shared with the world

The main reason why Knxwledge isn't at a higher level is cause the nigga frequently beefs with or throws shade at dudes he works with lmao

Alchemist was probably always gonna be popular and well loved because he maintains great relationships with artists he works with

Such a dumbass thread Alc's been an industry producer since the 90s

And it's not like most people back then would even check that he was white

Facts lmao Alchemist was a producer I heard on a bunch of tracks growing up. S***, 1st Infantry was one of the DJ/producer albums that was a standard on rotation at the barber shop I'd go to around the time I was 7 or 8, along with DJ Clue and Kay Slay tapes. Deadass back then I always thought Alchemist was a Puerto Rican nigga

Imagine my shock when I found out he was a Jewish dude from California when I was in HS years later

And I can guarantee u they were all influenced by him. Nobody was making beats like Klipmode in 08/09 besides maybe Flylo

Posted it early itt but he grew up with evidence and the son of one of the actors from godfather in Beverly Hills. Evidence’s parents were actors too. Went to the same school as Angelina jolie. When they were all young they used to work in Quincy Jones’ studio because he lived next to evidence. They were all wealthy Beverly Hills kids. Doesn’t negate their talents tho

wish knx would make collab tapes with as many rappers as al does

would have so many classics

I gotta give J Armz and Sickamore their credit too cuz Alc's beats were all over those tapes.

Remember the How to Be an MC instrumental series?

In the early to mid 2000s, everybody in NY who rapped had those in some form or fashion. Even if you were just in your living room tryna freestyle with friends and family.

Alc's name was hot as fish grease in the streets.

when alc was kid he was having better weed that cypress hill and he meet jdilla, pretty cool in my eyes...btw rick rubin don't have white privilege he have fbi privilege, real mkultra rap hours
