Swizz Beatz Responds To Kanye Praise

[vodpod id=Video.4352723&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Did%253D1637089%2526vid%253D555780%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A555780]

On August 13th at 5:10 P.M. EST, Kanye West called Swizz Beatz the best rap producer of all time. Bold statement indeed. During Swizzy’s interview with DJ Envy, he says he’s humbled by the compliment. Ye’s claim ruffled a few feathers, but it’s with merit. In case you need a reminder, The Monster got the best of Yeezy three years ago. Let them trumpets blow!

    what the hell? is that a deer? lmao

  2. reythehussein says:

    Oh please, that’s ‘Ye being diplomatic. Swizz Beats’ sound was atrocious casio crap.

  3. DJ NITTI says:

    My, My, My ….
    Swiizz Beatz’s marriage been good to him or maybe he finally get inducted into the illuminati or something because a few years ago nobody was even paying attention to him and his whistle, casio loop beats but now he’s considered among the best? I won’t say he’s talentless because he definitely has some classics under his belt but I think that’s more due to the talent he’s worked with than his actual production skills. He’s definitely good for a club record but I can’t imagine him producing someone’s whole album because his beats are not diverse enough but like I said if you need a very simple, whistles blaring, repetitious loop, with someone screaming silly ads libs then Swizz is your man.

    On a list of Hip Hop producers Swizz might make my Top 10, and that’s a big maybe, but certainly not in the Top 5.

    Swizz beats records rush hour traffic.

  5. B.Dot says:

    How can you people shit on Swizz? Like in the video, Ye lost at Summer Jam. Whether Swizz uses Casio keyboard or not, he makes classics

  6. K.o.D says:

    DEAR SWIZZ BEATZ! YOU ARE ONE OF THE WORST PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME! PLUS YOUR FUCKING ANNOYING VOICE SUCKS!

    YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!

  7. B.Dot says:

    ^
    ur just hating. cause even if u dont like Swizz, u gotta give him his props

  8. B. Digital says:

    I have to admit, he does do good club songs but he definitely is not the best hip hop producer of all time.

  9. Original Will says:

    all swizz shit sounds the same i when i think hiphop swizz doesnt really jump up in my head like Dre and Timbaland and Kanye

    one of the most underrated Producers is Eminem and Dj Toomp

  10. B.Dot says:

    ^
    I think Havoc is the most underrated producer of ALL TIME

  11. K.o.D says:

    ^ YOU ARE RIGHT! THE INFAMOUS IS CLASSIC! SHOOK ONES, PT. II/SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST = BEST HIP HOP BEATS OF ALL TIME! BUT THAT NEW EMINEM TRACK IS WEAK!

    YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!

  12. mac DIESEL says:

    SWIZZ WAS HORRIBLE WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT!!!! HIS BEATS WERE USUALLY MISSES THAN HITS!!!! BUT HE’S GOTTEN MUCH MORE BETTER!!!! HIS PRODUCTION IS MORE REFINED!!!! I GIVE HIM PROPS FOR NOT SAMPLIN’ OR SAMPLIN’ MUCH AND CREATIN’ HIS OWN SOUND BASICALLY FROM SCRATCH!!!! NOW IF ONLY HE CAN STOP SCREAMIN’ THEM CORNY ASS ADLIBS ON RECORDS!!!!

    …AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO AGREE WIT B.DOT!!!! HA!!!! HAV IS DEFINITELY UNDERRATED!!!! THOSE MOBB DEEP ALBUMS WOULDN’T BE CLASSICS WITHOUT HIM!!!! PERIOD!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  13. I’m a fan of swizz beats but some of the comments above were funny as hell.

  14. Ac@pella! says:

    Swizz DOES have classics, but he’s been lazy of late. I can’t call him talentless, it’s impossible. He’s a great producer. I jus don’t think he’s the best.

  15. K GRIZZLY says:

    if swizz the best of all time timbaland must be king producer cause we all know timbaland and swizz was the top producers back in 96 to like 2002 before niggaz was jock riding the neptunes but thats what YE thinks…but swizz is in the top 5

  16. Donn says:

    The best producer out is Will.I.Am and David Guetta. PERIOD

  17. Can says:

    Graduation wasn’t even out yet. If Graduation had been out, Ye would have incinerated Swizz on that Summer Jam stage. Tell me I’m lying. Even -with- his hometown advantage.

    new ROSA ACOSTA & D.STEPHENS video at http://www.wapproved.com

  19. Original WIll says:

    @B.Dot yea Havoc shit do go hard he did that untitled Eminem Joint huh?

    I really like RzA Shit too i think alot of niggas sleep on his shit but i think Toomp doesnt get the props he deserve

  20. UltraKid says:

    Swizz Beatz>>>>>Everyone of his haters

    @Original Will,
    DJ Toomp is underrated.

  21. themaadbull says:

    People who take anything that Kanye says as more than a promotional tactic are livin’ under a rock! The man is a genuis at stiring shit up and most of ya’ll jus take the bait…

  22. COME ON SON says:

    KANYE ALWAYS ON SOME BULLSHIT… NIGGAS NEEDS TO JUST QUIT TALKING TO THE MEDIA FOREVER AND GET BACK ON HIS SHIT

  23. Ty says:

    @ B Dot

    Nah Havoc is crazy with it and he’s very underrated but DJ Quik or Daz would have to be the most underrated. J Dilla would’ve headed that list, until he passed, then everybody started digging through his catalog and got familiar.,,,,, sadly it came too late for him to appreciate.

  24. Belize says:

    I’m officially not a Kanye fan anymore. Ater working with Menaj and Bieber, and calling SWIZZ BEATZ THE GREASTEST RAP PRODUCER OF ALL TIME???????
    Guess that’s what Dre gets for not releasing Detox.

  25. Usual_Suspect says:

    All yall niggas is straight wildin’ out. Ye too. He himself is 10x better than Swizz corny ass. i aint hatin but damn i could think of 25 producers off top with more talent than this nigga. wtf.

  26. Justsaying says:

    I don’t agree with that, a lot of his beats sound the same. But keep doing ur thang homie. I’m not convinced of that yet
