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

[CrushedGroove]

Swizz made a lot of bangers that rang off at the time. But skill wise he is not a good producer. Outside of RRAnthem, I can't listen.

I do gotta say, he is actually better when he samples.

 

[Cuban Pete]

RZA should be much higher

Hav higher than Bob Digi is crazy to me but I guess

 

[nose hair]

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.

Good question


I remember Kool Keith speaking on why New York fell off and it being due to losing its sound

 

[Sean7]

Dame Grease did most of X's first album I believe (Swizz did ONE beat), so his best album did not have Swizz all over it.... He is okay but his style did not really impress me at all to be honest, sounded like a whoopie cushion half the time.

Alchemist and Just not being on this list is a crime

NEW YORK

 

[3:30]

where is Rockwilder from ?

He ain’t on the list either

We fun of Swiss but it doesn’t negate his legacy

That Big Business beat

 

[maxamusa]

I'm interested in the songs you are holding in such high regards

here are a couple monster records he dropped since yall forgot.

















Thats just off top.


He's smashing a lot of cats yall got ahead of him.

Tell me the standards for what a "good" producer is.

Swizz is wack. I see you are Stan which is amazing y'all exist, but you made me come out of lurker mode. I am scared to ask, what number do you think Swizz should be? Who in the top 10 is he anywhere close to skill wise, impact wise etc? You could pick whatever you think is his greatest beat, and compare it to anyone in the 10 and the difference will be night and day. Offensive is Swizz having the nerve to even say anything. He should be grateful he was in the list. It's people they left off that have a stronger argument than him. You can't be sober and serious

I dont know where I'd place him as far as a #.



What I do know is he has a lot of bangers and has been relevant for a long time.


Tell you what pick a producer you claim better ahead of him and lets go record for record who isn't clearly in the GOAT category.

He shouldn't be top 10; but arguably on a lot of metrics he could knock people out.

 

[dizzy4111]

His beats have aged like shyt, he should be glad he's being recognized

Crazy how little gratitude mf's have

 

[Peak]

I just realised they got UK cats in there

But New Jersey is too far...

 

[J-MIL]

If it's just NY Swizzy should def be higher

 

[maxamusa]

Rza not top 5

thats a crime.

 

[dizzy4111]

Swizz being below Harry Fraud and tied with Aarab Muzik.

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

They're both better than Swizz

So you aren't sober and serious




Btw those monster records have monster artists doing some of their best songs in their prime. You're not suggesting he made any of them bigger than they are
