Swizz Beatz Denies Casio Lawsuit

Monday, August 22 2011 10:08 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

This has to be one of hip-hop’s greatest and longest standing urban myths. Swizz Beatz recently broke down his extensive discography with Complex. While discussing “Down Bottom” he denied getting sued by Casio and revealed his weapons of choice.

The sound module comes with sounds programmed in it already, so I was just looping the sound modules. Then, of course, people spun it out of control like I got sued by Casio. I was like, ‘What the fuck?’ I’ve never used a Casio in my life. That was a myth. I was using the Trinities, these silver keyboards. The Triton hadn’t come out yet.

“Today—because of that story—people think I made all of that shit from a fucking Casio. I’m like, ‘How can you make those beats from a Casio?’ No disrespect, but the only Casio I’d ever seen was little. I’ve never seen a Casio that had those types of horns or that could make the type of shit I was making.

“My equipment list started from two BD10 Gemini turntables with a wood-grain Gemini mixer—the small one. Then I graduated to the Technic 1200’s and I got the other Gemini mixers. I always liked the Gemini mixers.
