I know im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Simon Issac instablaster =)
@Dakari Merrick i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dakari Merrick It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Simon Issac Glad I could help xD
Alchemist getting choked up telling the story of how Mobb Deep took him in. Beautiful moment in hip hop.
He was being sarcastic but I feel you !
Rico Risken yeah I know I meant the part where he’s walking around queens in the streets and they found him. They linked through DJ Muggs and Soul Assassins. Rest is history. Peace peace.
he was playin the interviewer cuz.. he was lying and trying not to laugh haha dumb ass foreigner tryna get into hiphop but be sooo lost... RIP Prodigy.. SHOUT OUT Poland !!! @beatsbythekilo
@@beatsbythekilo How you gon say "dumb ass foreigners" and then shout out Poland? lol smh. If u don't know a guy personally, there's no way to know his sense of humor prior to having a conversation. It indeed sounded like he was speaking metaphorically and not describing what happened irl, but you can't blame the interviewer man. Alchemist would probably play you just as easy if he wanted it, the man really does have a unique sense of humor lol. Peace!
Body language
Havoc is soooo overlooked on the greatest producers conversation
Along with Tragedy Khadafi💥
@@juseasy9308 25 To Life!!!!
Guess it's because of range/style...Havoc did most of his best work for Mobb Deep, which had a certain style that they stuck to
Rza havoc Pete rock always overlooked
Of coursee... most people forgot that havoc is a greaaat rapper but overall one of the best us beatmakers... he made all beats of the 2nd and 3rd Mob deep albums..
Crazy how he asked better questions than an American interviewer would've ever asked.
Definitely agree with you bruh....
His questions were on topics I was hoping to hear about.
Great interview.
Makes me trip thinking what a weird mind fuck the American experiment is when seeing this shit
Bruh I'm not even questioning how crazy it is people outside of our country actually want to know more just like we do but our interviewers are focused on click bait headlines and not even actually touching on the shit we want to hear about. Gotta please their corporate daddies
Alchemist a humble dude.
That mobb deep footage needs to come out ALCHEMIST
Dominic Soto !!!!!!!!
Dangelo you from 760?
R.i.P Prodigy... I hope Havoc get his flowers before he gone.
Indeed! We have a dope interview with Havoc dropping later this month, so stay tuned!
@@popkillertvplus Great
@NEGUS MBARKA shut ur dumbass up. Those guys are brothers 4eva!
@NEGUS MBARKA you are tripping. They are brothers at the end of the day. Mobb forever.
@@LaWdHaveMercy4 you miss understood what he said he not saying he wish's havoc dies he saying he hopes havoc gets love acknowledgement respect for what he has done for hiphop while hes alive cause bc its seems like people only get that when they gone instead when they alive he wasn't disrespecting havoc
This dude said Knxwledge and Madlib! The greats! Man!
Yes indeed! If you have some free time, check out our interview with Freddie Gibbs as he talks working with Madlib: czcams.com/video/PQo7xWRrD7U/video.html :) Salute!
Legends man !!!!!
Yes madlib my top 5 (alchemist there too) but knxwledge is stupid dumb talented. In my top 10. Love that dudes production
Guillermo Kyosuke Yeah man! Been rocking with Madlib since The Unseen album. Had to go back and listen to Lootpack
@@MegaVern1 and Madvillain
Prodigy × Alchemist - Albert Einstein album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ALCHEMIST IS A LEGEND HIS BEATS TOUCHES YA SOUL CHILLS JUST PURE HE GOT THEM BEATS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥MUCH LOVE & RESPECT UNSTOPPABLE KEEP DOIN IT
Took the words right out of mouth fam. If you can get your hands on the Good Book vol. 1 get its hella good
Except the Griselda beats...Dem joints weak
Alchemist the legend. Dope producer and awesome human being.!!
alchemist pouring his heart out and this dude just like "oh... oh yea... yea... okay...."
bluff gawd language barrier
He's russian aint he
@@l00pdigga42 then he shouldnt interview
ill Drumatik he mentioned poland
Alchemist has been doing his damn thing for a while now. Big ups Uncle Al!
I love how alchemist is as popular as he is because he deserves it and he works with all my favorite rappers
No he doesn't.
Alchemist is my favorite beat maker of all time. His sound is unmistakable and cant be duplicated. I agree with Alchemist, "burn" produced by havoc 1 of the best beats ever! That's a banger right there. If I had to pick a top 10 beat of all time, "burn" would be on that list.
Same ... been a fan since 2001 .. when I was a little high school kid. I would buy whole cds just because I knew Alc produced one track.
@@sbfk1 Same here, i learned about alchemist in high school around 00-01. Graduated in 02. As much as I loved and miss the 90s, the early - mid 00s was a great time period as well.
"when you're making an album with a rapper, thats the final instrument"
ALC >>>>>>>>>
A-A-A-A-ALCHEMIST one of the greats!
Haha i only recently just found out thats P's voice
Thaaaat Part!!
@@James.k1373 Whaat. I just found out too from you.
Couldn't believe it the first time as well, RIP to Capital P
Alchemist the GOAT! Thanks for this interview
You're welcome! Got many more on the way, including an interview with Havoc, L.E.S. and Big Noyd - that one will be dropping next month :) Plus check out the rest of our US interviews here: czcams.com/play/PLc6RDCEFsiVmIap8ecN2dPx0gtJP7iLMg.html Peace!
I love how Al always manages to fck w the interviewers a little especially if they’re from over seas lol he makes the interviewers get awkward for a few seconds 😂.. still a great one and always shows love and respect ✊
One of the best to do it. Hold me down still in heavy rotation!
I don't think this Interviewer gets Alchemist's American humor lol!
Def not lol
i think alchemist does not get the interviewers humor!! lol!!
how bout that
so what is "american" about that humor?
@@Brockolli3000 He's just being playful. stop being such a douche
@@Betoven81 that leaves my question unanswered and is not contributing in any sense. I guess you are the douche here
Dude ALC so big yet so humble. I use to see him randomly at nyc events just chilling in the cut
The beats he made for mobb deep and prodigy was always a fuckin one man..i always gravitated to the alchemist sound. Him and freddie gibbs should do a album
JB facts lol
Even before Alfredo they made a project called Fetti that released in 2018
Alchemist,Premo,Rza,Havoc and Just Blaze.....but so many others pete rock kanye dilla dr dre hip hop just got so many legends and some the new producers Nicholas Craven is one to watch that Ransom ep alone
Our interview with Havoc is dropping next month so stay tuned! Also, we have more interviews with great hip-hop producers on our other channel (this one is new) - just to mention some of them: L.E.S., Ski Beatz, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Exile, Apollo Brown, Black Milk, Colin Wolfe. Full playlist is here: czcams.com/play/PLc6RDCEFsiVmIap8ecN2dPx0gtJP7iLMg.html

Big up & peace to Alchemist. I’m a fan of Mobb Deep Infamous Mobb Big Noyd. This is real Hip Hop. I appreciate you Alchemist thanks for all the dope sound you put out for the real true Hip Hop Headz. R.I.P. Prodigy
Really good interview, the interviewer was a fan and knew the right questions to make, props!
I love how he says he hasn't seen Beat Street like "not yet" like it just came out lol
ALC has been that dude for a while. Peace to Evidence and the whole fam!
Most don't know him and Scott Caan had a group called The Whooliganz in the early 90's and they were dope. World wasn't ready for that yet.
Alchemist made this interview energized lol buddy was real reserved so Al took over
RIP Prodigy, shoutout Alchemist
Humble and Talented
Mój ulubiony producent z dawnych czasów. Każdy bit miał zabójczy!
He’s in my Top5 for sure. He has worked with all the greats every year since the mid 90’s. From Mobb Deep to Schoolboy Q, Griselda to Earl Sweatshirt, Action Bronson to Boldy James, etc, etc, etc. His joint albums always bring out the best from that artist. He’s a genius. He’s humble. He put in the work and he deserves everything he gets. #legend #My1stChemistrySet #AlbertEinstein #RareChandeliers #Top5 #word
Wym griselda????? His name is daringer
Top 5? 😂
Foh He just did LuLu for Conway
The aroma
The Promise was dope, and Havoc went in lyrically. RIP prodigy. Alchemist is a humble dude, which is unusual.
Alchemist is a legend hes worked with major artists and tangerine dream is one of them what a dream team since then uncle al has used the synth more in his music hes a true beast and i dont believe we have seen the best of him
Al. One of the greatest.
Alchemist is my favorite producer right now
I always remember me and the man dem use to absolutely kill mobb deep tracks and we always use to notice the hardest beats on the album was mostly made by Al every time we were like who is this guy man! Super producer boi!
London!👊🏽
ALC was ok... but all the hardest Mobb Deep tunes were produced by Havoc bro, trust me!
J Bassey I’m the biggest havoc fan but that is very debatable my friend. If you break down the beats between them, Al just takes it. Way too many classics
riddley39 mmm.... Not really bro. None of Mobb Deeps real signature tunes were produced by ALC. The Infamous, Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik + everything in between from 94 - around 2001 is Mobb Deep in their prime, all those were almost entirely produced by Havoc! Got it Twisted/Win or Lose are the only noteworthy tunes produced by Al and compared to the body of work I mentioned are just ok except maybe The Realest. Their hardest/biggest tracks are all Hav... I rate Al, but he’s not touching that trademark Mobb sound
J Bassey nah I hear you bro, no doubt Hav moulded the sound but Al was pure quality and brought it into a new type of era with that melodic but yet still gritty sound that’s why so many wanted to mess with him. And he did produce two off of Murda musik, Infact arguably the best track on there with Kool g rap.
J Bassey don’t forget the classics on HNIC most were Al and from around Murda musik he was all over their albums. The infamous is one of my favourite albums and hell on Earth is crazy but the beats started to sound very similar and just plane gritty with no sort of dimension to them. I even think Al influenced Hav coz his beats changed. Remember infamous was very early so it still had the gritty but sort of jazzzy New York sound to them. Al smashed everything apart man and as P said solidified mobb. That’s why I was not the biggest fan of the first Nas album, the beats were dead and jazzy. New York rap changed after that. Thus it was written. Sounded totally different to the first album it all became hardcore street shit.
From Bay Area, California with love! Y’all have a good one
Yee! 🤘🏾
Richmond up in this Bitch!!!!!!!
East Oakland!Yeeeee!!
Town Bizness!!!!
@@deezy81
Town Thizness.
When Alchemist & Spitta do music its a fuckin MOVIE!!💯🛩🛩🛩 CLASSIC!
The Good Book is a masterpiece. Respect
The first Havoc beat that came to mind is “The Promise”. Alchemist said the exact same. ☝🏿
Spectacular #RGM
Foxy brown
Not too many people know that track but it’s probably one of my favourite Hav beats and maybe one of his best verses too!
@@jbassey231 foxy brown song of I'll na na
J Bassey I agree with that. It may be one of Havoc’s best verses, too.
I LOVE THE ALCHEMIST. HE'S ONE OF BEST BEAT MAKERS HANDS DOWN
.......down.
@@sarryuken8786 i know right 🤣 i meant hands down
best producter of the decade
Sto lat!!!
Salute to my polska hiphop heads
My Polska Brothers call me bartek because of my big ass head
I have respect for Alchemist.. I always respected him. I usually don't listen Israeli supporter, But since prodigy Prodigy gave him the pass so can i.. I know Prodigy respected him like a brother.
The Alchemist is an absolute GENIUS....GENIUS!!!! When he makes real hip hop beats....

Peace and Respect Al 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
legenda
Alchemist z Jay'em Worthy 💯💯💯
Yo, Uncle Al that Cap is dope!
About beat benchmarks - definitely The Illest. One of the best beats of all time and I still not sure who did it. Sometimes it says Havoc, other time Al.
DZIĘKÓWENCJA MAM NADZIEJĘ, ŻE ZROBICIE WYWIAD Z RATM I RTJ BO MAJĄ BYĆ W POLSCE, BYŁBYM WNIEBOWZIĘTY
Alchemist to artysta

20 something years later. Tommy Boy keeps pushing the album back😂
Great guy...
A black man brought him in🤔💪🏾&🔨 salute@ALC💯👑💩
Imagine hearing Alchemist saying your one of the greats
Give this guy a break, Al helped him out.
People are bashing the interviewer and he asked some of the most important fan-based questions I’ve ever heard. Fck the haters....

Killed that. I was the white dude in the basement
Uncle al 💯🙏👏🙏
Bless
It's crappy that Tommy Boy shelved the Whooliganz album, but then again, he went onto great things
Alchemist, Legend!
If you want to connect with new peeps, get in touch with J.Vengeance from San Diego, he drops real bars, heavy flows, has a unique dark voice and loves your production game.
(Just in case you look for inspiration or collaböration). You never know. Maybe the man is chilling on youtube and reads comments like many of us do. And maybe he might check JVengeance out, like 2% of the people that actually read all this are goin' to do.
J.Vengeance, IronBarz crew, San Diego.
~You heard it from me.
Alchemist sounding more like Action Bronson.
The Promise (feat. Havoc) - Foxy Brown
The best song on Ill Na Na
anyone else tryna investigate to find this album rn
Damn dude the sound keeps distorting and clipping . You think they would have used a limiter or gate.
!
Ps Much Gratitude
Hahaha AL is mad wif it... "I sometimes use my nose... just smell it ya know"
That was some amazing shit
AL & the dude from cheech & chong still smokin “burt reynolds & dolly parton” lmao
