Its not necessarily his beats but him always getting on the hook with the beats he made saying something corny made me annoyed by him
Internet Forums are the only place where I see Swizz Beatz being classified as a mediocre producer

Swizz's 98-00 run was justmeaning
...idk what caused the perception to turn cause even I found myself being annoyed with him...not the beats so much cause the nikka got jams on top of jams..but its something about HIM..but yeah, i'd never heard anybody complain about his production back then until the internet and magazines would talk down on his "simple, keyboard beats" ...purists just mad he wasnt sampling and he took hip hop out of that era..thats how i see it
its' not even that. cuz during that same time period the neptunes were on fire as well, and they weren't sampling either, but receiving a lot of love to this day even.

He makes hit records at the end of the day. I think his sound is a bit cheap, but when it works it works. Cant deny he's made anthems over the span of the last 15 years.
My main critique of dude would be him forcing himself onto his own records. Sometimes he does his thing (his part on Jason was dope as fukk), other times he brings the track down ("Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle...well?"....well what
?!)

Where is swizz considered an elite producerTill this day shyt still baffles me , prior to browsing on forums I would have thought Swizz would have well revered on here only to see the opposite , dude blessed us with a plethora of street classics and I DJ occasionally and every time I throw on a throwback swizz beat from the late 90s / early 00s I always receive the
classic beat/song
You ever heard this album?? He's no Kanye nor is he an Alchemist, Rza, or a Pete Rock because atleast they can make a solo album thats worth listening to.

Swizz can drop as much trash as he wants but this joint will forever be my shyt
nah. he has plenty of classic beats...especially considering how many singles he has.He has very few classic beats.
I don't really rock with any of those late 90s producers who took hip hop in a different direction.
he has more than Alchemist for example off the strength of his mainstream success

Swizz is a momument for something else.
He is really the first producer to become the go-to for non-sample, hardcore, cipher beats
that didn't outshine the rappers.
That's why Swizz has so many "ehhh" tracks that still go hard, because the raps on them are hard.
I remember in his prime when you found out Swizz did a track, you had to listen to it
for about 8 bars to figure out what he was trying to get at. Sometimes it was decent, most times
it was not. But it depended on who was rapping on it and what they did with it.
On another note: Swizz gets props for producing cuts that he didn't do.
I say that to say, he's seen as the "Ruff Ryders' producer"...but some of the GOAT Double RR
beats are not his tracks. It is my opinion that P.K. and DJ Shok made better beats than he did.
looking over his catalog in retrospect.....alot of his shyt sounds good today, back then....not so much
he still has alot of terrible beats though....shyt like Memph Bleek Is and Money Cash Hoes is
yooooooooomemph bleek is and money cash hoes wack beats now?
