Here niggas go talking about he's overrated. Now that he's finally getting his due after almost 30 years in. Temples of Boom came out in 95.
lil bit of recency bias going on itt cause of his run now but hes really good. id say like top 20-30
Alc has been extremely overrated last few years especially by hiphop reddit and twitter people
yall just say s*** man
Alc is a legend, not mad at anybody that ranks him too high
Def one of the most prolific producers but honestly I have a hard time ranking him over other producers from past that use a style similar to his

Let’s talk about it
I’ll never not think it’s funny that he’s a half-Israeli Jewish guy and people like Jay E who spend all their time railing on that otherwise casually ignore this because his beats are too good to alienate him
Alchemist has had a major impact on Hip Hop since 2010. Mentored by DJ Premier and DJ Muggz, he is responsible for a certain sound that has lasted more than a decade. Easily top 10 all time

I dont understand what you mean. Jay Electronica has never said he doesnt like Isreali Jewish people. Not sure if im misunderstanding something you're saying?
dudes been in the game for forever it’s crazy
he was making dope s*** when i was a kid and he’s still doing now and i’m grown af
As far as longevity, relevance, and ability to adapt to every era he's been apart of? Probably #1. Remember, Alchemist has been doing his thing since the early 90s when he was rolling with Cypress Hill as a rugrat.
He's a top 5 beatmaker OAT, and he could reasonably be considered #1 without causing offense. He has classics in every era. Classics with mainstream artists, classics with underground artists, classics with newcomers, and classics with legends. I think someone like Just Blaze has higher peaks musically, but nobody covers as much of the map as Al.
yall just say s*** man
ppl need to stop letting ppl on the internet change their opinions on music
As far as the dust olympics go I prefer Pete Rock, Premier, Q tip for sure
Then u got Madlib and Dilla
He’s got a case for top 10 maybe

I give Madlib and DOOM major credit for the underground scene were still seeing
But Al has kept it going for the last decade. All the dudes who styles come directly from Madvillian all went to Al and he kept that feeling alive
I’m sorry if this offends any of y’all but when it comes to this style of hip hop
Alchemist>>>>>>Madlib and Dilla

Jay E is anti zionist not anti semitic
I dont understand what you mean. Jay Electronica has never said he doesnt like Isreali Jewish people. Not sure if im misunderstanding something you're saying?
he's said some questionable things about jewish people in general especially jewish people in the music industry i'm not saying he has something individualized against all of them, i just think it's funny.
