When exactly did this start? I came to this site thinking Swizz ranks high among all time producers and still feel that way. He can be annoying with his ad libs but I think he is an all time great. Everytime a Swizz track is mentioned on the internet it gets these reactions

:stopitslime::martin::what::scust::francis::mjlol::pacspit:


Ruff Ryders/ solo DMX era he was flawless
2000s he made bangers
2010s he's been meh

Give some examples and when did you begin to hate him and his beats. I don't get it

Even his old work? Or was there a time when things changed?

yeah his old work was stale even back then. i mean appreciate the fact he worked with some of the first rappers i got into (dmx and the lox) but looking back....them beats sound like metallic,soulless staleness with alotta dust. gotta blow on my iphone when a swizz beat comes on like im tryna fix my n64 games.

God's Plan
he as a rapper or feat. artist sucks. lets get that out the way. the ruffryder era is more my older brothers but i still grew up listening to it. im just not the biggest fan of his work. he has a handful of tracks that i do really enjoy but overall he's midtier amongst all time producers imo. maybe lower

He's alright. He has hits but never really made a full body of work worth a damn since Flesh of my Flesh... Shouldn't be mentioned with the greats

nikkas hate him cause 9/10 he ruins his placement(s) on a album with his own hooks being plugged in :heh:

He ain't on the level of the nikkas in that "One Gotta Go" meme from the other day but if he shut up and let rappers and hookmakers have the whole beat people can't talk shyt about him cause he can make bangers
