Was listening to We Are The Streets today. I’m torn on Swizz production. On one hand the beats are hard hitting and fit the LOX style well. On the other the instrumentation is laughable and sounds like a 9 year old made the beat on an MPC. Thoughts?

Thread did numbers fr

I’m not a huge fan of that Lox album in particular but I do generally like Swizz’ sound on the old Jay, Jadakiss and DMX albums. It’s an acquired taste but I think he has a unique niche

Well said. Money Cash Hoes sounds like trash and greatness at the same time.

Idk but he kinda invented the Mustard beat

Swizz Beatz is definitely on
my Top 10 producers of all
time.

High energy beats

And I actually do enjoy a Swizz Beatz hook or a verse, or whenever he is screaming all over the track, I think it adds a nice touch.

I’m really looking forward to that Stove project because welcome to my garden was fire

In hindsight very overrated and didn’t age well. He does have a few gems though

Love it. He's a one-trick pony but he does it so well

whatever works for the song

ramones songs are literally less than three guitar licks and still some of the best music ever

same idea here

This is his best beat

swizz overrated. not even top 10

This does sound similar but Mustard kinda evolved from the hyphy sound if I’m not mistaken

He’s more versatile than you’d think this doesn’t sound like his usual style

That's a Dame Grease bite

Feel like the Swizz song has more elements to mustard than hyphy tbh

Hard idc what anyone says
