You named 5 beats bro lol.
I said MOST, not all of his beats were carried by the person on it. Most of those beats not fire as instrumentals
Swizz Beats in his feelings after barely making the top 20 NYC producers of all time

F*kk that tambourine Swizz
THIS IS MY SH*T!!
I was digging for records one day, and found the original sample that Pete used for this and lost my damn mind. He killed that remix!! I still play this joint all the time.

like someone said earlier, Swizz sounds GREAT when he SAMPLES! here's another example, if i didn't tell you Swizz produced this, you'd be like
thinking this is a real decent beat
and here's another sleeper from Swizz, again when he samples, sh**tttt, he sounds like a top 10 producer

Exactly.
They used to have the instrumental of "Jigga My N*gga" on one of those J. Armz instrumental tapes. Without Hov on that, that damn beat would put you to sleep!
All of Swizz's best beats dropped within his first couple of months of working. Which is crazy. After that, he fell off badly.
Again, y'all be naming 1 beat and thinking y'all making a point lol.
The more times y'all list 1 beat or 5 beat when a nikka got thousands of beats, is proving the point.
I'm not saying the nikka is talentless, I'm saying most of his beats are not great on their own. They sound great over great rappers rapping great on them most of them.
Every producer with a name gonna have a few dope beats here and there but generally speaking he's on the low end in terms of the quality of beats imo. If you disagree, that's cool too.
This. NOBODY is trying to hear a best of Swiss instrumentral mix.

That sh*t would be nauseating.
People keep naming the same 2-3 beats bro did out of the 947 he's sold because his best sh*t was all done when he first came out. Dude peaked in his first 5 weeks as a producer, lol. But he never got better. He's literally the only producer like that.
Breh, all of the producers we love are what they are because of the MC's who spit over their beats. It would be like discrediting Premo by saying nobody would hold him in high regard if Biggie, Jay, and Nas hadn't spit over his beats. I've seen people actually try and make that case. We know that the work he did for Nas Jay Z, Biggie, etc. is a huge reason why he's held in high regard because that's the work people are most familiar with.

Producing a whole album for Group Home did more for Premier than any other producer. It solidified him that he in FACT was THAT DOPE of a PRODUCER and could make ANYONE sound nice on his beats. Imagine if some of those beats would've gone to Nas, Biggie, Jay, Meth etc?
The difference is, Primo, Pete Rock, Large Professor, etc.. have a LOT of beats that aren't carried by rappers. They are just incredible beats as instrumentals.
He damn near got a classic album out of Group Home, two of the worst MCs known to man, simply because his beats were so fire on that album it was impossible to ruin, even with below average rapping.
My favorite Pete Rock albums isn't even with CL Smooth, it's with INI & Deda (and let's just say they are not the best rappers in the world either), and it's all because the production on that album is some of the best I ever heard.
Swizz not like that. Swizz beats on there own, mostly (with some exceptions, of course) are just not good.
