The songs were bangers when they came out…a lot of factors besides just the beat make a song a hit/hot record. I just think the beats sound super simple and basic…that doesn’t necessarily have to mean ass…it just means simple and basic.
Four songs produced by Swizz Beats. Which one is the best?

His beats were elementary but bangers, which is all you really need in hip hop 
.. Dr Dre is considered one of the goat producers, but one of his biggest hits “my name is” is literally an untouched sample that he looped for 3 minutes 
..
That being said, we gotta include love is blind eve in this..!

Nah, pause if necessary but this shh was hard to. Simple as shh but nonetheless, still a banger.
It's close, but I'll say RR Anthem.
"What Yall Want" from ROD Vol 1 is dope too.
My favorite Swizz beat is probably "Guilty" with Bounty Killa from that one album he put out

This is the point right here.
In '98, when I first heard "Money, Cash, Hoes", I thought it was dope and different. But then as the weeks went on, and every Swizz joint I heard had that exact same approach and the overly used cymbals, pad stabs, and the same kick and snare, etc. I thought it was some bullsh*t, lol. And a lot of legendary producers at the time did too. Because it was some basic level sh*t that no other producer off the street wouldn't have been able to get off, if they weren't connected. So as X's popularity climbed, so did Swizz's. That's not a coincidence. People wanted to get whatever was hot or popular at the time, and that sound was winning for like 18 months.
All 4 tracks that were posted by OP are classic, but that doesn't mean that those beats aren't bullsh*t too, lol. Premier was making sh*t like "Above The Clouds" around this time. Pete Rock had "The Game" with Ghost and Rae. Hi-Tek had "Respiration" with Common and Black Star. Young Lord had "You Ain't a Killer" with Big Pun. "Nas is Like" was made around this time. The standard was high AF!! There's a difference in quality that's mad obvious. So yeah, certain sh*t can be mad popular and still be bullsh*t. I liked Swizz's work early on, but after awhile, like someone else said in here, those joints sounded dated within a few years. It was hype. And in the moment, I dug it, but after years I was like "WTF was that?"
Listen to "Memphis Bleek Is". That's when I knew something was wrong. In '99, I was a kid, and definitely caught up in the moment. But nah, listening now, this is definitely a joke of a track. Most of his sh*t back then was. I can't listen to this today with a straight face.

these shyts are pretty underwhelming now but DMX's energy makes RRA a classic regardless

Dame Grease and PK always outshined Swizz, but unfortunately, Swizz's uncles and aunt owned the label so he got more of the placements after the 1st cd

Waah and Dee are my guys, so no disrespect to them, at all.
But PK said they called him in when they were about to start up on the second X album, and told him they were letting Swizz handle most of it. He said X didn't agree with the move and wanted to keep him and Grease, but they told him he had to work with Swizz. PK said he did over 20 joints with X that could've been on it, and he only got two on it, and Grease got like one.
Grease said he was told that they wanted to promote Swizz and get his name out there more, so they needed him to take a backseat to let Swizz shine. He said the same thing happened with X's last album. The posthumous joint. He did mad songs with X and played them on IG live, sent them to Swizz, but when the album came out, he said Swizz wanted to take all the credit, so he didn't use any of Grease's songs and he put his name on joints he didn't even produce. The business is nasty.
