I forgot Break the Bank existed for a good few months until Q dropped it at his show this year. In any other artist’s portfolio that’s a generational beat but that s*** was literally another Tuesday for him

Definitely one of my favorite Al beats. His 2013/14 stuff all amazing

This one tho

Crazy how his first major placement was a drumless loop he was embarrassed of

It all really came full circle for him

Talk about it

Back 25 years later and drumless beats are cool again to make

And he's at the top of the game.

but q tip got some of the best albums of all time under his catalogue. even got one love.

of course I knew that but you know what I meant.

My fault og lol I did

I just realized this isn't even the ALC thread too.

Nigga I'm ranking Madlib cause his overall body of work.

We talking about Malib playa, not swizz beats.

Man this nigga Roc is on a whole different level

Excited to dig into this

The Elephant Man's Bones = The Batman movie

The Skeleton Key = The Penguin series

DEHH AOTY

seriously need a new Alchemist x Freddie Gibbs album. Alfredo top 2020 album

The Penguin Series is flawless gritty tv...loved every minute.

finding out he produced We Gon Make It was crazy. had no idea dude was apart of my childhood like that. That was lowkey a big song back in the day. i mean i knew of Hold You Down from like 5th-6th grade of course but outside of that I didn't really get familiar with Alc frfr until Covert Coupe, No Idols and Rare Chandeliers

Y’all not hyping this up so I know this is fire

This s*** is crack. I can't stop listening.

Jordan Peterson sample on knock it off LMAO

This is super dope but EMBs atmosphere and transitions were too good

That parakeet ad lib funny as f***

Big difference with this and TEMB off first listen. TEMB I think was definitely more of an artistic showcase of the dynamic and flexibility ALC and Roc brings as a duo. TEMB was more off kilter and almost felt like an art exhibit/experience. It’s dope I love the project, but Skeleton Key clicked like, immediately for me.

That alone makes me appreciate both producer and rappers efforts as a duo. It’s really some science. Happy these guys are making music.

There was definitely a little more room for interpretation with TEMB. Skeleton Key is more coordinated and in your face.

Not to compare, just discussion

Is it too early to call TSK a classic or cult classic?
