On a recent episode of Complex's Goat Talk, Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt debated the greatest Hip-Hop producers of all time.
Without hesitation, Alchemist declared DJ Premier the GOAT producer. "DJ Premier is the pinnacle," he says. "I wanted to say something wacky, but let's just stick to it."
Alchemist says that Premier's influence on his early production was incredibly strong. "I had to figure out how to not make fake Premier beats as a kid," he shared. "He was so much of an influence on me."
