Swizz was really dope during his run.
Funny thing is, after he blew, mad producers started trying to make tracks like he was making. I was in the studio the first time I heard "Money, Cash, Hoes", and I remember sitting there thinking "This is different." I still love that beat. Dude basically created his own lane and sound and stayed in it. "Banned From TV", "fukk You", "Some X shyt", "Blackout", etc. Dude put in a lot of work in like a 3-4 year period that was crazy.
He changed production right when dudes were sampling straight loops and watering down beats with popular 70's and 80's shyt. He kinda came out of nowhere and did some left-field weird pad-hopping shyt on the MPC that no one had ever done at the time. I've been mad critical of him at times, but his run was undeniable. He really ran shyt for a hot minute by just being creative and doing his own thing.
