From Beats to the M-I-C: Swizz Beatz Flips the Script with a Solo LP

| 256 Comments

I guess "On My New York Shit" should've been a fair warning.

He set it off with the Ruff Ryders back in the ‘90s, then continued filling his credentials with other big name artists.

Now, is New York ready for a Swizz Beatz full length solo LP? Ready or not, the album -- and I didn't catch the album title or release date on last night's Green Lantern mixshow -- is in the works and set for a release soon.

And he didn't produce the entire album by himself. The album features production by top dogs Just Blaze, Kanye West, and Buckwild.

Swizz said:

"This is the warm up... the push up before you hit the bar. I'm tired of playing the back. It's showtime. I'm ready to get it poppin'... come and get me.

"This is NOT a compilation album...[And] Buckwild produced "Come and Get Me."
"Everything I rap about I really did...I really experienced...[On Cassidy being signed to Double R] We gonna bring Ruff Ryders back, 'cause the streets need that."
Sounds like he's serious about this one. And for the record, "Come and Get Me" is a decent track. And I'm not just saying that 'cause he's from The Bronx.

Many enjoy Swizz's beats, but whether or not the same crowd will accept him as a rapper... not sure.

"Oh shit, I finally got something to say on Sohh"!

Peace to XBX, Huey and Big Sun

I'm only in for a few this morning. The Christmas rush has got my game stepped up a little.

I skipped over to Left Coast to see the Game rundown. I still really can't believe how many people talk all that bullshit about how hip hop is dead, but won't go out and buy a niggas shit. They would rather download or burn it. Then, after they disrespect the nigga by not paying for his shit, they sit back and talk about his scans and how he didn't go plat or some shit like that. Okay dumbass, you were part of the fucking reason he didn't go plat! I'm sure that after you burned a copy for yourself, you burned one for your crew. Niggas kill me with their blatant ignorance.

Then, this character assassination every rapper has to endure. I don't care if them niggas are phonies, I just want good music. Certain rappers have earned my money even before they drop. I do it based on past hot shit. Game has earned my money. I'm copping his shit and I could care less if he is a fake gangsta. I wouldn't know if he was or not. Who fucking cares! Swizz Beats, I don't know. His beats are sick but I don't like gimmick albums. If it turns out to be "The Chronic" east, then I stand corrected.

what up what up! This nigga said he aint Dre like that was an insult...Dre can't rap for shit...

Peace to XBX, Huey and Big Sun

I CO-SIGN EVERY WORD OF THIS...

SWIZZ is the monster!!!

SWIZZ is the monster!!!

I like Swizz beats but this has bad idea written all over it.

I actually own his last LP
forget the name but it had a mural on the cover.
that sht had 2 ok songs on it and the rest was trash
its was terrible
he needs to fall back if he was going to go solo he shoulda did it when Double R was going hard in the late 90's

All I have to say is that NAS MURDERED Jay on Black Republicans.


I guess Swizz has extra time on his hands, since Cassidy is on IR. I'll probably download the album. His beats are ridiculous, but I don't see myself believing in him lyrically.

Co-Sign i just peeped that, the verse was pretty Hot. What's good yall. Change the subject because A Convo about Swizz Beats is going to last about as long as Htownmike at a Pather Meeting. Anybody got any other topic of discussion?

I'll most likely wait until I hear a few tracks on the net or on Music Choice. I never listen to radio. I heard some Snoop shit on Music Choice and I'm copping. Jay, I'm copping. Nas, I'm copping. Game, Styles P, Ghostface, I'm copping. Niggas can say what they want, I'm copping. I will drop my cash if for nothing else, just to hear a few hot tracks from some of the best lyricists in hip hop. If you don't like them, don't cop. But, don't burn their shit either. If you burn, then does make you a fake also. Come in here claiming a love of hip hop but contribute to the death of the culture. A nigga that burns shit in my mind is no better than a drug dealer. You claim to care about your fucking people but only if it doesn't cost you anything in the form of money or sacrifice. If you didn't buy it, don't intend to buy it or have never bought then this means you. Fake ass, dick riding hip hop stan.

I'll be honest I burn download steal whatever you name it I do it... But I support the artists that I like, Most Likely I'll get Nas' album before it come out but i'll still buy it when it comes out, I won't be Buying Hov's Album even though we from the same town not to hate, but because I didn't feel the quality in the music at all. I gotta admit lyrically it was cool but the lack of ear on production was disturbing to me.

Heres the difference btwn you and a dick rider Big Sun. You don't pop up in here with that he didn't go plat so he's wack shit. You support the ones that you like, I respect that. I don't respect the ones that only respect the scans. That's bullshit.

Swizz is sick on the production but ill wait for the Bone album if it ever comes out.

SWISS IS TRYING TO SAVE HIS LABEL.
HE NEEDS TO CUT IT OUT!!!

Oh Yeah Style and Ghost always get my money, especially styles I think he's one of the most talented Emcees in the game Beans too, but I think they both concentrate so much on the machismo of the Hip Hop that it's rare to get the real them. Being the hardest on the streets is fine but end of the day you still got to make music and sell it. The battle has to subside once you have no more competition. Problem for styles at times is that there is no one who can deal with him, end of the day I think he really dumbs down his shit to sell but that isn't working. He needs to get more introspective.

Yo....I'm curious to know how many of you have sent in for the free Mobb Deep stuff?

SP is that fucking dude...I don't understand how niggas don't feel this nigga...He's dropped some of the hardest and most sincere verses I've every heard...

STYLES IS THE TRUTH

IF YOU DON'T LIKE STYPE P YOU DEFINITELY ARE IN DENIAL WITH REALITY.

Huey

Christmas is the #1 time of the year for the ecomony. Some people start shopping in August for Christmas. As usual, it's all financially driven.

@all

Styles P is getting my money. Homey is one of the sickest cats with a mic in his hand.

WUT IT IS SOHH?

=TAH=

DAMN, I DONT THINK STYLES OR GHOST GETS ANY GUAP! I JUST CANT C IT! LOL! I GOT MADD LOVE FOR GHOST THOUGH CUZ THAT NIGGA HOOD! LOL!

=TAH=

BIG SUN

U ASKED ME ABOUT THE MATERIAL..THE STUFF U SENT ME? IM TRYNNA HOOK UP MY SPEAKERS RITE NOW...IM HOME 2DAY.

=TAH=

I would buy Swizz if it was another compalation. That song he had with Ron Isley and 20 other niggas back in like '03 was hot.

And i don't think the mass's will ever make Styles a platinum player, but he always gonna have life with true hiphop fans.

FISHSCALE WAS MY FAVORITE ALBUM IN 06

"Everything I rap about I really did...I really experienced..."

Its funny how rappers try so hard to convince us that... they are so hard.
Poetic Justice is done on an album when i believe in what you're saying without blatant coersion, feel me?

Swizz is hot having a guest spot on a track, but a whole album is not gonna captivate me. He deserves a shot with all the quirky-ass shit that i've heard pass for real Hip-Hop.

Whats good XBK, E. Fresh, caff, Black Friday, Banga! Huey, I see you.
Peace to my homies BigUP, Blaze.

Shit, its been a while, whee are the ladies? Don't tell me... Soulful right?

@ Tah

ok got the day off good shit. I want your honest opinion.

swizz is a tight producer but as an mc? i dont know the jury is still out wish he could have did a complimation then i would be more amped but anyway either swizz or just blaze need to do a cd with lupe that would be SICK with some cameos from cassidy,nas imagine vintage rza with lupe spittin over the beat DAYUM well anyway im out PEACE TO ONLY AND ALL THE REALL GO BEARS GO BULLS!!!!

What's up Odemic!

@Huey

Sorry to hear about your grandmother but look at it like this. At least the cares of this world don't affect her anymore. As long as you remember her, she's always alive.

That's it

I have to roll to the field. Everyone stay strong and positive.

Don't forget to talk about OJ some time today. Fucking coon ass nigga.

Peace to the real!

Ya'll niggas always wanna start some shit.

According 2 this G-Unit stan that I know, Styles is garbage, and nobody wants 2 hear his shit b/c he don't have money like 50.

Can U say.....GTFOH!!!!!

Posted by: Huey Freeman at November 15, 2006 10:00 AM

Exaaaactly, I don't see money having anything to do with a Mans walk in the mic. If you listen to his first CD the song "My Life" with Pharoah Monch that shit is crazy. I want more shit like that. Money or not Styles just has something in his soul that makes him a little more extrordinary to me than Kiss or Sheik, Kiss kinda lost points with me when he backed off of the Bush knocked down the towers comment. You said it homie stop being afraid to commit to your own thoughts.

Just passing thru...

Big up to the real and a special shout out to my man Odemic....Where have you been at kid?

What's good

@ Huey

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you feel. Yeah basically O.J. Is an idiot. If I did some shit like that I would be out of the states once I got away with it. Take my dough and bounce.

Site Comment that "Black Republican" Is FUCKING BANANAS!!!

Support REAL Hip-Hop

Download This!!!!!
"Touch Da Ceiling"

From the forthcoming album
"The Faculty"

Coming 1st Quarter 07

I just can't see making a statement like that then being like "well I didn't mean him personally". Nigga yes you did. It's made cats open they eyes, don't be a coward about making a militant statement. That's what the Hood Needs. MF's who are commited to saying the truth and won't back peddle to anyone... AKA Immoratl Technique, Nas, Killa Priest, Styles P.

Here's sumthin for you HATERS to chew on....
JIM JONES came in at #6 with 110k pushed first week...INDEPENDENT...
