THE ALCHEMIST - Before They Were Famous
Ойын-сауық
Before The Alchemist became one of the most versatile hip hop producers pumping out dope beats for Prodigy, Curren$y, Action Bronson, Jadakiss, Mobb deep, snoop dog, Nas, and Linkin Park
Al Maman was a skinny jewish kid growing up cozy in Beverley Hills. But being surrounded by snobby celebrities turned him off that lifestyle real quick, and he traded in his silver spoon for some street smarts. He and his friend Scott Caan formed a rap group when they were just 14. By the time they were 15, they had already signed with a label and were touring with Cypress Hill. That's crazy, right?
Insane in the membrane!
What's going on guys, my name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life of the insanely talented music producer, The Alchemist, before he found fame here for you on before they were famous. I’ve covered a bunch of the people he’s worked with as well, like Nas, a whole lot on Eminem, and action Bronson, be sure to let me know who you’d like to hear about next.

+Golden Gunner in this day and age- it's kinda hard to give wrong information. Especially from this guy who does this shit for a living. How do channels like this make money/get popular? Views, likes and comments. And this guy HAS to do small errors like this on purpose CAUSE HE ALWAYS DOES. Partially cause as you say he doesn't know what he's talking about- but at the same time- you have Wikipedia, you have google- you have ALLLL the resources. How do you consistently fuck at least one thing up in every video? It's not a coincidence if it keeps happening. I believe it's done on purpose.
this guys personality makes me think he's gearing this towards 13-15 year olds

After Mos Def episode i said to myself Ill give this joker one last chance. then 10seconds in "making beats for The Prodigy". Never again.
Alchemist is a living legend. I was pleasantly surprised to see you made this one. You should do both of Mobb Deep and Immortal Technique.
This is sick. Alchemist is my favorite producer
he said prodigy then showed a picture of THE prodigy. one is a rapper from mobb deep--the other is a uk techno group
He's also produced numerous Schoolboy Q beats

You are a true legend for making this video 👌✊ The Alchemest is a king
Thank you!!!!!! Alchemist is my idol
How could he not at least mention the fact that Scott Caan was on Hawaii 5 O He mentioned his dad though for some reason but not him
Hey, Michael McCrudden, thanks for doing a video for Alchemist. I'm impressed considering your demographic maybe a bit too young to really know who he is. If you ever do a video on Evidence, I recommend you take a look at my interview with Alchemist & Evidence. I did the interview with Prefixmag in 2014. There's a funny story in there about how Al met Evidence. I'll let you read it yourself, but it involves an ice cream truck and marijuana.
