Al is literally a scientist on the beats. Ya'll not catchin' how he's sampling? Incredible. Jumping through different records until the sounds fit to his liking. From this vid, I feel the creation is sporadic and thats f*ckin awesome. Not too much planned but dammit when the vibes is right, then you know the rest is going to be true raw bad ass hip-hop for the streets! Much love and respect to ALC. In hip-hop, definitely in my top 5 greatest producers of all time. Hands down.

I be amazed at how little most ppl realize how difficult this is and how much knowledge of music you have to possess to even put sh!t like this together. Definitely one of the greats I study
Al hasn't stopped creating masterpieces in 25 years!
I've been waiting so long for another video like this its crazy watching him go through all those records and flipping it like it's nothing

This man has created through so many generations of Hip Hop
This is amazing! I love these rare glimpses into the laboratory... hopefully these start showing up more often then not...

Al and Madlib
He's gotta be 1 of the most innovative producers ever.🔥
Any time I watch Uncle Al I get so inspired to make beats right away. Give this man his flowers, living legend.
The greatest I remember meeting you in Vegas and was so down to earth but on the go at the same time 💯 thank you for being one of the people that kept me going with producing 👑 Nothing but love here
i could not even image how it would feel writing on a couch behind this dude cooking up some of the hottest beats of the century.
He lives up to his name in every sense of the word, Alchemist .
i remember early youtube circa 2005 showing the NY- apartment mini-doc , to EVERYBODY , time and time again. 15 years later...we still "here". Never stop Al !
Love the way he goes from sample to sample
What that man does with an MPC is just pure magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This motivated me to make a beat at 3am. Much love from the Philippines Al Chemist!
It’s like your mind never left the golden era
Experimental i love it been listening to ya since I was 13 years old always fiyah
summer nights' instrumental is superb
I’m sad I didn’t speak to boldly some years ago when him n alc was in stl Alc gave an amazing q and a with Tef Poe And boldly had his son with em ( 🐐) The journey is a thing of beauty And this is just a glimpse Thank u for the view into your world 👑
Dude, the feelin one has when diggin like this on the records, such a vibe damn
I’m digging the beat at 0:59. Looks like Conway is there writing to it also. Hope we hear a song out of that one day. 0:29 top.

Thank you Al!! We needed this!

The GOAT at work!

This got me wanting to see more "making of the album" videos..surprised that's not a thing yet
Good lookin on the behind the scenes Al ! 🎥
Nice to see he's still on the 2500. Dope machine. Im never giving mine up
Thanks Al you keeping it alive 💯
God Bless Al. 👊
Your studio would be my heaven. Watching you do what you do so casually is ill as shit to me and idk why
Lovin those ol schools samples 👌...
Amazing, how this video has little views and only 51k subscribers.. Just shows who the real hip hop heads are.. ALC THE GOAT
1:11 that fukkin snare is 🔥🔥🔥
I Love the fact that he still uses his MPC 2500, that's super dope analogies unite
It's so cool to see the artist at work
Always nice to watch someone else work in the studio on something besides myself. Ah well, back to work. Thanks Alan.

Heres one of his secrets for you ...when he programs his drum loops he has them slightly offbeat instead of starting on the line of the 1st bar they start slightly to the left or right of the line... he never lines up the melody sample with the drums exactly on the line...If you take one of his tracks and put it in your DAW then extract just the drums using Izotope RX7 plug-in then take those separate drums and try and line them up on your DAWS grid to the ones playing in his track you will see where they hit ...
