The Alchemist Talks Kendrick Lamar 'Meet The Grahams,' Sends Beats All The Time | TMZ 

You know Dot changed the game when he got paparazzi going after Alchemist lmao

He’s a magician, he don’t have time to reveal his tricks….bars!!!

As a producer having a monicker named The Alchemist is so fire

Alchemist has been in the game for decades. One of the best to do it!

Folks forget that LA-native Alchemist was a big part of that East Coast hip-hop sound from the mid 90's to the late 00's.

Love when producers enjoy each other's beats.

Alchemist seems like a cool dude. Kendrick made that beat truly terrifying. Certified boogeyman stuff with MTG

Shoutouts alchemist. That demented ass beat he cheffed up stomped out drakes banger record. Not many producers could’ve pulled that off…

Damn he was really cool and patient with this guy. Alchemist seem cool asf

Alchemist been around since the golden age of hip-hop/rap.. A real 🐐

It’s beautiful to see Alchemist still getting the love he deserves in a whole different era.

That knowing nod at 1:00 😅 what a moment!

Al made my favorite instrumental of all time: Scottie Beam - Freddie Gibbs That beat feels like nostalgic luxury in heaven

I would love an animated meet the grahams video

I love that everyone is so excited about hip hop the producers artist and people everyone just enjoying the moment .

absolute legend

Top 5 producer alltime. Hardest working producer right now..

legendary producer

In other words, Kendrick is dropping an album, but I think Drake is going to try to step on it by dropping one as well. Just my theory.

Met The Alchemist at Supreme in downtown LA back in late 2022. you don’t get more humble or down to earth than that guy.

alchemist seems like such a dope ass chill dude

Alchemist is a legend in the game, Drake fans probably never heard of him lol

Al is one of the best producers of all time

This guy is so down to earth it's unreal😂😂😂 Type of guy to leave a homeless man a dollar and help an old lady across the street. What a real one looks like

Kendrick the GOAT 🐐

Al so chill.

ALchemist was so handsome in his prime ❤ he is one of the most talented hip hop producers in the game 🙌🏾

This is how you be a TMZ person. Nice Calm Collective let dude answer and take his time. Shoutout this camera dude forreal

The fact the paparazzi even knew who the alchemist was is a huge win for the culture

Damn can you believe the excitement is still going strong? If it wasn't the best time for everything. If this was winter instead, I just don't know how things could've turned out. Gives new meaning to "sizzling summer."

At the end of September 2013 I was in a club in NYC and saw The Alchemist who basically looked the same as here lol but in a club. At the beginning of September 2013 I saw Kendrick Lamar live for for the first time. I didn't even know he produced the record until watching this, I just never cared to check I guess. Now I hear it, but The Alchemist has produced a lot better. Even he didn't seem to expect this to be a hit though.

A respectable TMZ snippet

Uncle Al is chilling. He represented for the culture.

Shoulda asked him what his initial thoughts were upon hearing what Dot did with the MTG instrumental. Was he as shocked as all of us?

Kendrick enjoys making music, but the best part is being able to just come n go as u. Please enjoy your family, where Drake signs that 400 million deals his daddy not going let him take a break want that money back n just lost 5 million betting on hockey game dude have bad gambling problem going be vegas soon chain to resort singing his old hits sooner than later

Schoolboy Qs favourite producer

Please Dot, put this moment on wax

Wow The Alchemist on TMZ...2024 shit

This Guy is Genius I salute him. The hip hop producer for me.

You know he’s already a vet in this business cz his mood is like “why am i being interviewed i got beats in this car to work on” but still gracious👍

ALC, fuckin legend.

Nobody was ready for All eyes on me , nobody expecting k dot right now but when it comes , it’s wrap

Shoutout to this TMZ reporter not being a dick and getting Alchemist to talk candid.

*Alchemist is such a real one, legendary music*

American music forms: Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented African American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly.. Latinos -- Puerto Ricans particularly -- please explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements of the 14 or so African American music forms that predated it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of African American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so African American music forms that are mentioned above yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and claim you co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by Dr. Derrick Colon, Fat Joe and numerous un-informed latinos---claims you all never mentioned or verbalized during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly becoming scrutinized and debunked--widespread. Make it make sense Latinos.

FEAR. and Cry Together are two of the bravest Kendrick tracks and Alch was behind both 👑 That said, to state the obvious, the best Alch collaborators will always be Mobb Deep and Prodigy (RIP)

I have a prediction! Drake will hunt down one Al’s ex girlfriends instagram and passionately hit follow! 😂

I got to meet Alchemist awhile back at a Evidence show in Hollywood. He’s a real cool dude. I still have his autograph.

Bro!!! Read the body language… he clearly was in a rush and didn’t want that many questions… respect the art and the guru please! Respectfully, sincerely best rapper in CT

I see alchimiste remember Bordeaux i mean 2019or2020 good show

I think an animated visual would've been more fitting for "Meet The Grahams".

A meet the grahams video will too crazy for the internet The music vid will probably be all the receipts they got on Drake 🤣💀😤💯😂😭

Never thought I'd hear Kendrick on an Alchemist and Mustard beat. Got both whilst dissing Drake. Amazing 😂😂😂😂😂

Black chip digital hum successfully ending road ahead... hired v barr

"The art of war" ~ Dot

This man is the life preserver of genuine rap music.

Al Al Al Al Alchemist 💯👊🏿

That beat is creepy as hell! Imagine listening to it in TENERIFE 😂😂😂

Alchemist has been doing his thing for years. He's on a historic run, just like Kendrick

Alchemist has one of the dopest beats on, Hold You Down feat. the late , Prodigy

Alchemist is a magician, when he makes music with Curren$y you'll know its gonna be fire

I wonder how Drake feels, considering he got sent some beats by the alchemist on all the dogs. I hope he's not gonna be all petty and shit considering Al is just doing what he does as a producer. Also damn this video feels so forced.

We got paparazzi chasing Al before RDR3😭

I honestly didn’t know who he was up until him and Action Bronson started hanging out on his show F$&k that’s delicious.

This man singlehandedly made the most terrifying hip hop beat of the modern era. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being used in a horror movie trailer.

Curren$y’s covert coup is what put me on to this legend. Great producer!

Alchemist is a hustle, he said he is about to send Kendrick some more beats when he gets home...lol 🤣😂😅😆💯

Finally a "celebrity" I actually care about. Al has been one of the most consistent producers of all time

Imagine those songs that he sent to him that we are not hearing that could’ve been on all those albums that I did not like of Kendrick Lamar except maybe one everything else has been going somewhere else

Never forget that the alchemist has a diss album to Palestinians and Muslims called “Israeli salad” but he’s too scared to actually say he hates Palestinians and Muslims so he had to do it in a sneaky way with the album.

Madlib & Alchemist are two of the best producers alive after Dilla left.

Some of y’all ain’t know bout Uncle Al and it shows!!
