Christian Louboutin On Working With Swizz Beatz

Tuesday, September 20 2011 11:00 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

A year ago, Swizz Beatz revealed that he collaborated with designer Christian Louboutin on a signature sneaker. In Swizz’s new Haute Living feature, Mr. Red Bottoms himself speaks on what it’s like working with Tha Monsta.

“Swizz is a great soul,” Louboutin said. “The wonderful thing to collaborate with someone like him is that you have no sense of boredom, no sense of exhaustion. It’s all great energy mixed with fun ideas. To translate words, situations and images into music is a fantastic gift. It’s great to share common sense about beauty and aesthetics in general with your friends. With Beatz it’s always showtime, being around him would put anyone in the best mood.”

“The fashion style of Swizz is a colored mix of various influences,” Louboutin said. “[It’s the meeting of] the street style of the hip hop culture, but also the way he wraps himself in his scarves reminds me of these élégant bédouins from the Sahara Desert. He also reminds me sometimes, in his well-tailored suits fitting his deep voice, of Nat King Cole.”

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.
