    I promise you someone would have done it for free if he asked. That’s Alc

    That someone is MEEE

    Millennials and Gen X/Z are so cute for this attitude after 25 years of not buying CD’s/piracy and streaming which is how we even got on this trajectory where no one can afford to pay for samples or cover arts + no music in schools to create a new Chad and Pharrell + derivative “type beat” urban music landscape that AI’d Lex and Shawty Redd 15 years before AI existed

    Niggas gotta move beyond reactionary hot takes and tackle the underlying foundational problems that led us here

    Or just let niggas keep prompting since its more likely none of those foundational changes since 1999 can be reverted at this point lol

    I promise you alc can afford to do that

    apparently the artist is on ig saying he did it but when they ask him proof he says he wont be showing his employer's files

    i wonder if alc got someone to create an account to do it or actually found an 'ai artist' for it

    the “original” painting is very clearly different from what Alc dropped

  • Benny Boy

    Can we stop calling him a zionist just because he's Jewish?

    But yeah, dude just loops samples he doesn't clear. That's basically already AI

    i don’t call him a zionist because he’s Jewish, i call him a zionist because he’s praised israel various times throughout his career, performed there, and named a mixtape after it, but hasn’t once said anything about Palestine & blocks anyone who calls him out for it

    working with artists who are antizionist doesn’t make him one by association

    Benny Boy

    Brother he did a show and worked with some rappers. And when everybody came after him for being a Zionist, he said Free Palestine. That's the long and short of it. It's not that deep.

    Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant make money from the IDF. This isn't a country where you need to be shy about being a Zionist. Wishful thinking

    “he said free Palestine in a way that made it clear he just wanted people to stop bothering him about it, isn’t that enough?”

    nobody outside of 4chan neonazis & libertarians uses “tankie” unironically lol

    Yeah man, I really don't think he's a Zionist. As evidenced by how little he gives a s*** one way or the other. Like most celebs tbh

  • cyclops

    No he is not a Zionist. Or at least he has not said anything about being one. They just see a Jewish man and that's enough to paint him as a zionist.

    Basically just 101 racism

    see my previous posts

    he’s not someone with no ties to it though, his dad was literally born there. he isn’t someone who knows nothing about it. if anything, he knows more than the average celeb who doesn’t give a s***.

    the guy has made public statements about israel by performing there & naming a mixtape after it. he has shown throughout his career that he supports israel & hates being asked about Palestine. there’s no assuming or ambiguity about it.

    How can I tell it's AI

    a lot of ways, but here’s a specific example: zoom in on the guy standing outside the door’s face. see the patch of white that was probably supposed to be teeth?

    I promise you alc can afford to do that

    Even if he could what if he just wanna give that money to a stripper or unnecessary luxury car payment instead

    Lmao point being we cant tell niggas how to spend their money after collectively sucking most of the money out of the music industry as consumers over the past 25 years

    No we cant which is why niggas still making these threads and every week its a new rapper doing some s*** with AI lmao

    Niggas collectively either gotta find a way to put the money back in the industry they took via piracy and streaming or keep complaining to a screen

    But i mean of course niggas can type and post what they want lmao

  • Orangutan

    Old people are absolutely enamored with AI man I’ve never seen anything like it

    It's always the creatively vapid who use AI. Alc's beats may as well be AI at this point since he's been using the same cookie cutter formula for over decade now.

    first of all him mentioning palestine and immediately throwing water on it with comma free congo is sick work, like actual real slick s***

    like we believe these zionists are stupid and if they say the words the zog will come knocking on their door same evening like they dont just say some f*** s*** ie lie so that an alchemist_fan twitter page could tweet it so that other morons could quote it running defense for them next time like yeah bro people are so silly we jus need to hear the Good Words and all is forgiven and we love u again and will buy six overpriced versions of the same loops youve been doing for the last nine years rapping about wearing coats or whatever i guess hes right though and we ARE just stupid as f*** because as we can see thats exactly what had happened here with this thread

    “AI shouldn’t replace the artform i like, but it’s okay when it does that to other artforms” is a dumb stance to take

    Alchemist’s parents are Israeli. His dad is an Israeli businessman. He grew up in Beverley Hills. He is pretty reluctant to speak on Israel and Palestine in any meaningful way. He’s performed in israel as well and has an album that pays homage to Israeli culture.

    So if you’re from LA like me and you put these things to together, the idea that it is irresponsible to think he is Zionist leaning is so disingenuous. I get people like his production, but let’s not gaslight everyone who side eyes that component of who he is.

  • bro got to the top of his respective genre and buddy buddy with every well established rapper there and yall think he dont have something that lets him think and say whatever the f*** he wants even if his collaborators think otherwise? like they 'cant be businessmen about it' and 'set their differences aside and make some money together'?

    because there are people in this here music business who done that and f***ed just about everyone over and still made their coin and can fuh with israel and america and whomever and nobody can touch them

  • Benny Boy

    He clearly believes Israel has a right to exist (and celebrates its existence). He is by definition a Zionist.

  • WRU

    i also gotta wonder what would be the thing that makes us turn on some of these 'progressive' collaborators of alc eg elucid and billy woods i know we prob wont but these dudes are wack as f*** on the low too

    when you think about it they sold us these random vaguely left wing namedrops and we decided theyre sankara in the flesh for some reason meanwhile both are at best anarchists and repost anti lenin bullshit on their ig or do interviews about muh bad soviet union with libtard russian expats

    we got some self criticism to do not saying the music isnt good though

    Idk man I've never seen anyone act like billy woods is Che Guevara he just makes good music with vaguely good politics

    I don’t think I’ve said thats my stance

    AI can’t replace any artform lmao nigga we the humans. At the worst possibility of what you’re thinking it’s essentially lower effort Crazy Frog or the Gorillaz. Nigga scared of Crazy Frog overtaking real humans with emotions, innovation and thoughts lol
