Swizz Beats Remembers His First Time Meeting Jay-Z

Music Executive Swizz Beatz sits down with Vlad TV for a very interesting interview. Posted up in front of a cool little office space, the mega mind producer talks about his first time meeting with Jay-Z and how they’ve been rocking with each other for 14 years. Stepping in Jay’s office around the “Reasonable Doubt” era, Swizz was lucky enough to have Jay buy his 40 beat cassette tape and the magic happened from there. Much respect to Swizz, who makes it clear that he is no money hungry dude, and does what he does for the love of the craft and for the love of art. Check out the interview after the jump!

Yesterday, I went to Baltimore, MD to see the “I Am Music” Tour for the millionth time…I invited Young Chris & Neef, to come check out the show. Chris let me know good news on his next album, said it’s going to be executive produced by Mark Ronson & Jay Z, which is HUGE! Congratulations to him! Rather than give you the typical photos of the concert, and my camera died which sucked, check out pictures of the first Young Money photo shoot that took place last week.  As you can see Lil’ Wayne is moving forward with his crew, and making them the next big thing. Jae Millz & I chopped it up for a bit, and l let him know the interview with Jabari/HiphopGame wasn’t been excepted well by commenter’s, because of certain statements he made. Jae Millz really didn’t understand why, “Atleast I didn’t say they where gay” , he went on to say “I just think certain niggas need to get a job rather than hate or found out if you have AIDS that is more important” . In his defense, prior to the interview, we were on a certain site, and some of the comments were so mean, and hateful, passed the point of being an opinion, just really childish and ethug gangsters. It’s one of those sites, you shouldn’t be reading the comments anyway, just watching the videos.  Look for the “Every Girl” video to be debuting soon. Also, great news for all the Clipse fans out there, their single “Kind of Like a Big Deal” hits in April; Kanye West and Consequence are going to cameo in the video. Pusha T & Game did a record together, at Nottz Studio the other day. Yes, expect that heat rock!
