During a recent interview with Angie Martinez, Swizz Beatz revealed ’Ye was willing to go hit-for-hit against his most prominent foe but says he and Verzuz co-creator Timbaland weren’t pushing for such battle. “Kanye was willing to do the Verzuz … He wanted to battle Drake,” Swizz […]

Drake wasn’t quick to forget comments that Swizz Beatz made about him last year following a leaked Drizzy and Busta Rhymes track.

That was something […]

The BET Awards have paid tribute to many of the greats over the years, but with DMX’s recent passing, the award show needed a tribute fit for a king.  During Sunday’s show, X was honored by some of his closest collaborators, including mega-producer Swizz Beatz, Busta Rhymes, Method Man as well as his new friends in Griselda, all […]

Looks like Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have some work to do.  During Sunday’s red carpet at the BET Awards, Lil Kim toyed with the idea of doing a Verzuz battle, and she even confirmed who she’d want to go up against. When asked if she’d be down to go head-to-head against another MC, Kim quickly responded “yes.” […]

Swizz Beatz turned heads when he took aim at Justin Timberlake during his Verzuz rematch with Timbaland. Now, Swizz is explaining what he meant by these comments.  During Sunday’s battle, Timbaland reached into his Timberlake well and hit Swizz with a few timeless records. This moved Swizz to claim that JT profits off of Black culture and […]
