Swizz Beats in his feelings after barely making the top 20 NYC producers of all time

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

He's been around since the 2000s though, right? I think he started before Harry Fraud did.

similar time Alc recognizes him too. Dude does full albums that are solid front to back carrying an East Coast sound. Harry Fraud has worked with bigger acts but V Don is much better.

 

[gho3st]

He made 1 beat, 25 thousand ways. 0 versatility


It was still amazing at the time though in the Double R heyday

man has been living off this one beat ...what a dope ass beat it was

I had already listened to some V Don tracks but when he linked up with AR-AB is when I noticed his name.

Eto out of Rochester, NY began putting out mixtapes in 2006 and he linked with V Don in 2007. That's my frame of reference. I wonder when V Don actually started producing for rappers.

Swizz is entitled to feel that way

Dame Grease, L.E.S., Beatminerz and VDon are the biggest omissions

Havoc is over RZA bc Havoc’s career had a way longer shelf life

Tried to tell yall how overrated Swizz was as a name. Yes,Swizz,Timbaland,Neptunes make alot of hits in hiphop. But does that mean they should get the recognition they do is top hiphop
producers in the game? People always immediately think hits when those discussions happen. There should be a seperate list for top hitmakers. Because you can make a hit that sounded good in that time period,but sounds garbage now. To me thats not good production now is it?

Neptunes absolutely

Swizz need to keep it real with himself and be glad he was even included his shyt is really not that good

and I fukks with RR heavy

 

[TripleAgent]

Larry Smith should be much higher
Marley could be higher, arguably #1 because he invented modern sampling and for what he did for Rakim and the Juice Crew
I prefer Premier to PR, and think his impact was greater, but I'm not mad at that order
Swizz, Aarab and 808 whoever don't even belong on here. Swizz should be happy.
Beatminerz, Chyskillz, Showbiz, Just Blaze, 45 King and several others should be there ahead of them.

Swizz had some dope beats but most of them sound the same. He uses the same drums, bells and synths.

Don't matter how nikkas feel his beats sound it ain't 20 nikkas that ran NY with production over Swizz.

 

[Lord Beasley]

i always felt like swizz was overrated heatmakerz and him need to swap places

 

[Apollo Kid]

Harry Fraud is ranked higher than The Beatnuts?

 

[Flav]

The Bomb Squad and Larry Smith should be way higher on that list.

 

[Zero]

V Don is the best new producer in the lineage of the past of NYC. Updated not dated. Doing great bodies of work. For him to not make it says a lot

Dude is criminally underrated

 

[Mag Wheel]

Swiss has made some classic beats before fasho but honestly I’ve heard way more mediocre and wack beats by Swiss than dope. shyt, he is actually just a successful Dame Grease biter.

That top 5 ain't bad, I'm glad Havoc got his flowers
