It's Swizz Beatz. People hated the song the moment they saw his name attached. I still don't understand this whole "Swizz Beatz Is Trash" narrative that gets pushed on here. I mean, I don't consider Swizz GOAT status, it's not like he's inescapable, and you might see some instances of him being mentioned as GOAT, but the Booth goes EXTRA hard to discredit Swizz's entire existence to the point of even labeling some of his classic records as trash or going as far as saying he doesn't have a classic.

Nas murdered those verses, someone else commented that thematically it sounds like No Bad Energy, Echo, and Adult Film were all done in the same session, those verses on Runaway sound the same to me. Very well structured, reflective street Nas, razor sharp flow.

Unfortunately, that beat is unlistenable.

The booth is typically not a good indication of real life opinions. Swizz is successful for a reason. The Coli is always extra hate

Swizz is such a garbage producer, son has maybe 5 hot beats total in his career.

This here.

I used to defend this dude a lot in the late 90's, when I was a kid. I thought he was getting a lot of hate for no reason. Then time went on, and I realized his success was really just on the back of trends at the time and the artists who gave him looks from '98-'99. After his one-year run and peak, basically everything he did, away from a few tracks, was mad trash.

He became a household name and was down with a crew that was in their prime due to X, but the actual music he was throwing at people after '99, is damn near embarrassing to even listen to today. He makes a lot of friends in the business and he's a good dude, but musically, he's one of the industry's biggest jokes on the beats. And has been for over two decades. Sh*t is crazy.
