I think the break part is from the same sample as Mobb Deep “Keep It Thorough”

[@hhheadz]

@@TheWorkzBeatZ That'd be "Disco People" by Jack Mayborn (1978). It doesn't sound like it tho

Male Drake fans mad hearing a beat that's

More like 75 bpms, but I catch your drift.

Anything under 92 BPM is a lullaby to them

alc literally produced wickman by drake

The producers deserve so much more credit for how this all turned out

[@ccemeterybluntss]

ALC is that guy. A staple in hip hop producers.

The most disrespectful diss song I've ever heard.

[@nick2128]

It’s a slap In the face to Kendrick if you ask me . I’m sure he can figure it out but still could he have been any more lazy with this

[@LysergiCoyotl]

@@nick2128 crazy take. calling someone lazy while you say 'i'm sure he can figure it out' as a means of explaining your own reasoning ☠

[@BeanShiesty]

@@nick2128are you serious? Do you not hear his voice tones change throughout the song. Lay off the drugs buddy

[@bunkbed643]

@@nick2128 don't say its lazy then don't explain how its lazy. the song couldn't have been more well thought out and structured. Drake literally makes lazy easy music cuz he know it'll get streams regardless. Quality>Quantity

[@dazykuri]

"BTS look" bro hes literally just hitting the play button 😂

[@reno5159]

That's pretty much what it is once it's sequenced and mixed tbf

[@DjSoloDoloWill]

He hit the chops

[@bruhdudeson6017]

“food comes from the grocery store” ahh comment

[@GueroHabanero]

Tell me you know nothing about beat sequencers without telling me

[@DMRCapitalHill]

No he’s hitting the chops and then he hits the final mix.

[@p1re_p1re]

i've heard Alchemist beats before but Westside Gunn and Griselda was the one that really put me on a couple of years ago. i just loved the grimey, dark beats. Alc easily became a top 5, hell even top 3 producer for me. i'm happy he's getting more mainstream attention. he really deserves it.

[@p3rcey]

This really was a beat to bury people to
