Hip hop was big business when Swizz came on the scene in 98. Cats were appealing to the lowest common denominator to cash in. He took advantage. His hair sounded good for the time, but didn't have legs. I was listening to Mecca today as well. shyt is amazing. If that's boring to you, I don't know what to say. We appreciate different things when it comes to hip hop.
lol YOU ACT LIKE SWIZZ CAME AND LEFT in a couple years. He's more relevant than pete ever was or will be

Why? So he could sell out by copying Swizz' sound from the time and try to cash in on what was hot? Should he have made snap beats when D4l was hot? Should everyone just chase the latest fads? Or stick to what they do best and comes organically?
I think this should be done. But pete should have understood that about swizz. He was basically hating on swizz for not doing beatz the way he think they should be done,yet being super successful. He's a boring sore loser/hater.

Failure in what?
Sure it's art. McDonalds is cuisine too.
Also, you didn't fully respond to my post.
Failure at being as big as he wanted to be,which is why he was hating on swizz 98/99 run. Swizz was a producer don creating hits for jay. Helping blow dmx up to a quintuple plat artist,making eve a household name. While pete was just a remix guy sitting around mad

Regardless of chart numbers,everybody know RR anthem made dmx. What ya'll want and love is blind made eve. Songs like good times is styles marquee song. Songs like i'm a hustla and hotel made cassidy. Who did pete make somebody? CL smooth,who else?

all youre saying is he has more hits, which in no way equates to swizz being better PR
All my opposers are saying is he made TROY. OR SAYING he made "classics" with reference to songs that were like lil camp fires compared to songs that were like forest fires by swizz beatz. nikkaz claiming RR anthem aint a classic. Hilarious.

So an opinion you pulled out your ass is more valuable than how a record actually performed in the streets. When i say hit,i', not just talking numbers. I remember what these records did to the people. Them pete songs are just songs YOU LIKE they meant and mean nothing. TROY was the shyt and a few others but his list of classic songs is shorter than swizz MUCH SHORTER
Again. Ladfy Taffy performed well in the streets. Ying Yang had songs that went hard in the club.
That Pete Has classics is not my opinion. Whether something is classic or not is not an opinion. Either it is or it isn't.

A super producer based off what. What was super? And yes I still currently listen to flesh of my flesh and RR vol 1. FLames
Everybody sought out his beats. The term super producer didn't exist yet, of course, but he was the go to guy. This is a fact.

So if swizz wants to create his art by sampling a keyboard's sounds,he's wrong. He has to take another's record,or he's less hiphop.? You keep saying swizz never made a classic album. That's debatable. But Pete rock sure has not.
Swizz produced the lion's share of this album which possesses more noteworthy songs than anything pete WILL EVER DO

Yes. Taking the programmed sounds from a keyboard is less hip hop. That whole keyboard sound was less hip hop. The whole basis of hip hop is sampling already existing songs.
Half of RR was blah.

That's not what I'm saying. His material didn't stand the test of time. And although he did fall off for a period, he remains relevant today because he makes hits.
