Scott Storch vs Mannie Fresh
Do you think Scott Storch vs Mannie Fresh was an even battle given that Scott is a global hitmaker and Mannie is known more for his cultural anthems?
Swizz Beatz: “Mannie Fresh is the only one who wanted to come outside and play with Scott Storch. We reached out to who we thought would be a more even match-up, but like I said before not everybody wants to come outside. So of course, we had other people in mind but those people didn’t want to show up so we went with the person who wanted to show up. We knew to change T-Pain to be with Lil’ Jon instead of Scott Storch for sure, but Mannie Fresh was the only one willing to step up to the plate so we had to go with that one.”
Some fans feel like Scott Storch shouldn’t have been able to play some of the records he did because he only played keys on them. What’s your stance?
Swizz Beatz: “Scott played what he felt he produced regardless of other people feeling a different type of way. I can’t tell him don’t play ‘Still D.R.E.’. At the end of the day, we’ve gotta let those guys do their thing.”
