Today's unprovoked Kanye West testimonial comes from Swizz Beatz, who showered the Chicago rapper/producer with praise in a recent interview.
Speaking with Sneaker Watch, Beatz began gushing about 'Ye and couldn't stop.
"Let me tell you something, Kanye is a genius," Swizz Beatz said. "He's misunderstood. He's a genius. I know what he called me as a producer, that was generous. People know what he called me and I ain't that yet. I said, 'I'm gonna work to be work towards being the greatest producer of all time.' But whatever creation that Kanye does, I respect it because he puts his passion into it, he puts his time into it, he's dedicated to it. He's a one of one...He's the architect that's misunderstood. He's the designer that people wish they could. He's the rapper that's unspoken but often heard of. He's the producer that's 808 greatness. Kanye West is to music like Ralph Lauren is to fashion. It is Ralph. Kanye West is Ralph. He is those lines of design as Dre is to Beats, as Pharrell is to 'Happy,' as Swizz is to Ruff Ryder's anthem."
Okay, buddy. Tell us how you really feel.
"Kanye West is one of one, we will never ever have him again. Let's love him while he's here. A lot of people like to speculate and a lot of people like to disrespect 'cause of his passion. He's just brave enough to do it. A lot of people go in the closet and wish they could do it. Kanye West is the best of the best. We don't ever get that twisted."
If all that wasn't enough for you, there's more of Swizz going fanboy on Kanye. A lot more.
But we need to move on to actual music news: SB stopped barking about Kanye for a minute and posted a video of himself and DMX in the studio together, including the caption, "I don't care what it takes I'm bringing the DOG back!!!!!"
