Not sayin Swizz doesn't have some heat under his belt but if you go back listen to some of those old RR,Jay-Z tracks alot of those beats are :huhldup:

His style didn't age well at all and he's never carried an entire project by himself, at least not a good one.

It seems pressing the demo button on a keyboard is a prerequisite for greatness.

:manny:

if it were that simple then how come most producers couldnt do what he did?

:childplease: he did the bulk of the production during the ruff ryder's run.

dr. dre made his career off co-producing, yet no one really talks about this.

i hate to say this but Kanye West is kind of the same way :shaq2:

The song would say "produced by Kanye West" and then say piano by John Legend, bass by Jon Brion, drums by someone i never know

I be like damn, what did West do again?

marley marl is arguably goat status. do the knowledge.

kanye isnt chit in comparison.

i know know man.

a lot of his beats are too old school for my taste. Most of them were just basic drum patters and nothing else.

I'd perfer Kanye West.
