The success of Swizz Beatz will never not confuse me

[Peak]

Been on a Verzus kick lately and afterward I usually deep dive the featured artists' catalog. And man, I gotta say I'm equally impressed and unimpressed with Swizz Beatz' work . I'm not trying to discredit this brother's accomplishments and definitely respect the grind. It's especially impressive he's been able to maintain this level of celebrity and relevance for damn near 30 years. But his overall catalog is just not that good and at times laughably bad (I'll list examples if necessary). And then when you start comparing him to his contemporaries? Shiiiiet. Like who even thought it was appropriate to pit him against Timbaland ? Not even in the same conversation.

shyt like "Bring 'em out", "New York Sht", "Ruff Ryders Anthem" always gonna get a head nod from me. I know the man has heat, not disputing that. It's just crazy he ascended these type of heights with such mediocre beats. If anything the finesse is inspiring lmao. Hustle and the right connections go a long fukking way, clearly.

New York shyt was DJ Scratch not Swiss Beats

Swiss Beats and Eminem would have been a better versuz. See whose beats are worse.

Well damn I was trying to give the man some credit for something. The way he yelling all over it you would think he made it. And that’s always been one of my “favorite Swizz tracks” too lmao. Welp. Appreciate the correction.

This James Brown avatar and your commentary is killing me. Too early in the AM for this.

Swizza real one and gets credit for being dude with X robbing folks face to face...

What other producers can say that?

Legend.

 

[old pig]

Not true lol

at all.

oh shyt.

 

[old pig]

maaaaaan I was running the other day when this popped up in the shuffle…beat is maddening

 

[Easy-E]

I forgot about this bullshyt

Only Swizz can take this goofy beat and throw Jigga and Biggie samples on it

 

[jilla82]

He’s well connected. There’s people with absolutely no talent out here getting money..tons of folks. Don’t hate.

you gave the reason why he succeeded that has nothing to do with his talent...
...and then said dont hate

thats one of the main reasons people 'hate' on folks

it's funny how Swizz all of sudden became a respected producer

Since when was Swizz not a respected producer?

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

You don't think being married to one of the best selling and most celebrated artists of the 21st century elevated his profile? Stop it.


Yea, you're right . I just had to go and look this shyt up because I thought you were bullshytting. And damn, his uncles. I never knew this.

Swizz was buying helicopters before Alicia Keys
Gtfoh

Swizz got a defense team.

He got some good beats but his mediocre beats far outnumber them. That's not even opinion at this point, it's a fact.
