Netcees - top 5 beat producers?

alchemist is a god damn fool. i hate his guts for his dope simplicity.

as i'm making a beat early today, im looking for samples and come across this dopeness.

im listening like yea this piano is nice. ok got some deep strings coming in, im choppin in my head like word i got places for variation, piano behind the strings is consistent i can layer and drop back, then oh shit the higher strings drop in around :38-:39 seconds. i'm instantly reminded of a beat in my head. it takes me a second to figure out even the beat its reminding me of. im like humming it in my head like oh yea, thats gotta be an alchemist beat.

so since i have his discography i quickly scroll through it until i find it. the beat the strings reminded me of, was this

so then i'm like thats not the same sample. its got strings and repetitive piano but its different. just reminded me of it. so through more googling i found the sample alc used (skip to 2:15)

boom.

he killed that tho. made the strings do what he wanted. kept the piano simple. basically threw drums down, and the bassline is a single note. repeated keeping it moving.

what does this have to do with anything? not a thing. just figured i'd post it in here instead of making a useless thread.

so if you guys see me hating on newer alchemist when he refuses to use drums sometimes and shit, just know its cuz i know his catalog, he's a monster, and when you hear a beat he produces with no drums, just know with a simple bass stab and the most generic drum pattern he could make it alot better.

end rant
