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

[L. Deezy]

Should Teddy Riley be on that list? He was the first to blend Hip Hop and R&B. And he did Hip Hop here and there. He was actually doing Hip Hop first before doing R&B. Or is his catalog too dominated by R&B that he doesn't count?

Yeah.. the nygga made The Show for gods sake. Had Heavy D hits..

Meccapolis crew retarded

 

[Piff Perkins]

Swizz's influence is hard to downplay but the facts are that most of his beats were ass and even his good beats aged pretty bad compared to MOST great NY producers. Pete Rock, Premo, RZA, Q-Tip, Easy Mo Bee etc beats will always sound good blasting out a sound system. Swizz shyt sounds goofy as fukk with those paper thin synths and lifeless snares.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Mantronix and Large Pro should be higher. hell large schooled like half of the top 5

CED GEE not being on here is crazy he did what Rakim did for emceeing for production in the late 80s advanced af

and no DOOM is wild if we including OT cats AL and Preme

Swizz being below Harry Fraud and tied with Aarab Muzik.

Nah, he has a right to be a lil tight about that

 

[King Poetic]

Marly from 1984 to 95 deserves that spot

 

[REdefinition]

Who are the top NYC producers right now? There's a lot of talk about NY falling off MC wise, but not enough emphasis on the production side which I think is partially to blame for NYs loss of relevance.

 

[MicIsGod]

Araab is tough but I’d feel offended if I was swizz being next to him

 

[Yehuda]

Bro skipped past the only slide w/ just words. Nígga just looking at the pictures

I saw "Alchemist is from California" and thought that was him saying he's not qualified, is he on the list or not?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Preme from Texas.. if you include him, you gotta say Alchemist too.

There's an explanation posted for why not

You need to re-check his production credits. you're bugging.


shoutout large pro; but not for nothing he had a couple songs on illmatic.


Swiss has a whole lot more longevity in the game.
