Dame grease is one of the greatest producers to come out of the ny hip hop scene

Swizz was still in school after a lot of these songs dropped. We went to an alternative High School and i remember riding the Marta w/ him and Yung Won talking about making music w/ X and Jay-Z and ppl was laughing when claimed producer credit. He left for a few weeks came back talked to the teachers and wasn't seen again....that is until Eve 1st video single dropped showcasing Swizzy loud and clear. Proud for all your accomplishments.

@@bjvu9460 Much of Swizz's keyboard-based beats were cheesy and basic. All the best beats on the classic It's Dark and Hell is Hot were produced by Dame Grease and PK, and certainly Flesh of My Flesh would've been a better album if it had more Dame Grease/PK type production instead of Swizz. The same is true for the Ruff Ryders compilation albums, and especially the Drag-On album. Swizz really ruined that Drag-On album, which is unfortunate because Drag-On had an interesting style. The thing is, keyboard beats were beginning to become more popular at that point in time, with Mannie Fresh, The Neptunes, and Timbaland gaining popularity. Sample-based beats stopped being popular for a few years until Jay-Z's Blueprint in 2001. So, since Dame Grease beats were more sample-based and grimey, he wasn't nearly as popular or in-demand as Swizz. I do give Swizz credit for making all those club songs which made X a bigger household name, but I personally never liked most of those joints. I'll take "Stop Being Greedy" over "Party Up" any day.

@@LastBrefcome on Party Up is a hit Swiss was being himself come on I know all his beats may have not been perfect but come on if X could flow on the beat that’s all that matters

Had DMX won that card game we would never have been blessed with Ruff Ryder's Anthem. Unbelievable. That was God at work.

My man DMX said about the cab "I'm not paying...No mind. 🤣🤣🤣

Get well DMX. WE LOVE YOU!!!! We can’t lose you , not yet. 💙🙏🏽

Bruh DMX was like an unstoppable force of nature. Seemed like back then he was putting out two albums a year or something and everyone going platinum. X is without a doubt a true living legend of Hip Hop.

Idk about all that. Swizz worked/works hard yes, but he obviously got ahead & given more shots him being their family. He wasnt a solid producer & overall is what made RR sound sound dated with them cheap casio beats (a few exceptions tho!). Grease & PK were more established & had produced more & for bigger artists already, at least Grease.

MaadAzzGang I get what you saying, but keep in my mind, outside of ruff ryders, swizz made beats for Memphis Bleek, Cam’ron, Nore, Busta Rhymes, flipmode squad , and the lox while they were on bad boy. Did his uncles look out to a certain extent? Yes but his uncles made sure he proved his self before throwing him on albums. They threw one of his beat cds out the window lol. What has PK done recently? Dame grease is still producing and putting in work

@@andrewpeterson285 Swizz was also accused of stealing beats at the time as well tho. Like Nore's "Banned from TV", DJ Shok allegedly played Dee the demo, Swizz re-made it & put his name on it. He's been accused of that many times. Yeah maybe you're right. Maybe they didnt work as hard as Swizz but i still think a large part is due to him being their nephew.

Pk didn't get to be a primary producer again till styles p gangster and a gentleman album.. Where he did 4 tracks..

Ruff Ryders anthem was huge in the South. Swizz, knowingly or not, produced a record that resonated down here. And it was probably due to his GA links. I remember thinking it felt like a Southern type of record but soooooo New York. DMX was that dud from 98 to 00.

A big thing you don't really hear in a lot of hip hop documentaries and even less concerning things from the city itself is that Atlanta was really an integral crockpot and weight station for an enormous chunk of hip hop. You'd never know that from listening to the radio there now, but it really was the epicenter for a lot of hip hop artist from all over the country, and it seems like very few people highlight that. Either way I'm loving this documentary.

After they “taught” Swizz, he became the face of beats for Ruff Ryders, getting the lions share of royalties and external opportunities with other artists. They literally took millions from their pockets and put it in Swizz pockets. It just wasn’t a smart move especially since Swizz was a family member of the label owners. This is the 1st time I’ve even heard of these dudes and that’s a travesty.

@@musicbelowzero2949 I’m almost sure you’re a younger man than me so I’m not going to argue with you. I’ll just say...I hope you listen to the sound advice I’ve provided in this post. The world and especially corporate America are not a meritocracy. You can actually be the best worker and get let go because the manager wants his/her friend to have a job. I was recently working with a Recruiter who was at a company for 9 years. The company hired a junior Recruiter straight out of college (no experience) and asked my colleague to train her. I told her not to. She did anyway. 6 months later, she was “layed-off” and the younger Recruiter had her job. They pay the younger Recruiter half her salary so the company wins. The young Recruiter has a job so she wins. My friend who was nice enough to train/teach her a skill she didn’t have lost her job during a pandemic. She currently has a lower level role, making less money at her new job. Don’t train/teach people at work. It won’t end well. Think about your logic. They’re asking you to train/teach the person because they know you’re good at what you do so it has nothing to with insecurity about your performance at work. It’s about being smart and not training someone to replace you.

RIP DMX 🙏🏼
