In the lexicon of beat makers, Swizz is definitely ass to me. He’s a perfect example of right time right place as far as production goes. But he’s also a driven black man, who uses the access and opportunity afforded him. So, god bless him.
I feel you and that's why I tried to be careful with how I framed this discussion. Not trying to tear him down, I just think his production is...not very good. Some of it sounds like a kitten ran over a keyboard and Swizz just added some random drums.

Verzus is amazing though and I salute him for capitalizing on the concept. I watched a Breakfast Club interview with him years ago talking about how he enrolled in Harvard business school and I respect all of that to the fullest. Seems like a good dude.

All I know is that he can afford Tony Starks crib....He's doing something right. My crib don't look like his crib. No cap
In case people don't know what you're referring to, his west coast home :ohlawd:. The joint they used in the Marvel movies:

What you mean 'another'? I only ever post in the arcadium so my bad if this topic was brought up before lol. I was just posting off the cuff after I went through a Swizz playlist :scust:. It was pretty damn awful. But I definitely still tried to show some respect.

his relatives owned the record label. nothing to be confused about
Yea someone pointed it out to me already. I ain't hating on nepotism, :mjpls: "they" do it too so it is what it is. Definitely explains some things with Swizz though.

Swizz forced himself to the elite class of producers because my god he’s ass :mjlol:

he got some shyt that’s good but majority of his beats are humid dumpster juice.

I’ll never forget twisted heat…. shyt sounds like a bunch of computers having a party interacting with each other :mjlol:

I turned off vol. 2 right after that and didn’t play the remaining of the album til a day later :dead:
