Talk:Swizz Beatz/Archive 1

Message
Lajbi, you definitely don't know anything about Swizz because some of those production credits is garbage and he aint even from Jamaica. Step your editing up.
 * It wasn't me who created the Production credits section and who wrote the biography. I added the infobox and picture. Lajbi 14:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Casio legal action?
In a recent radio interview answering plagiarism allegations of his own (see 2007 Timbaland plagiarism controversy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTvY3wZrHrQ, http://www.zxdemo.org/extra/timbaland_radio_transcript.txt), Timbaland claimed that Casio once sued Swizz Beatz for sampling / remixing / plagiarising (delete as applicable) a demo tune from one of their keyboards without permission. If so, that sounds like something worth mentioning here - does anyone have more information about this incident? Slovakia 11:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

$250,000 to $400,000 a beat
I am removing this claim. It is just ridiculous. I mean, Scott Storch charges $80,000 a beat and that is considered high.


 * Not necessarily true. Timbaland's salary is in the mid six-figures, and charges up to $500,000 per beat. Rockstar915 18:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, Dr. Dre was supposedly earning $250,000 a track, years ago. By the way the end of the first paragraph isn't in English.

Fair use rationale for Image:Swizzy.jpg
Image:Swizzy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Where The Cash At?
"Where The Cash At?" will be Swizz's first single off of his new album which I believe has been decided to be Life After The Party. I added it to the discography. Heres pics from the video shoot http://www.wireimage.com/ItemListings.aspx?igi=317197&nbc1=1. --Nyj1218 (talk) 22:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Full Name?
if anyone heard the new remix Arab Money by Busta Rhymes, Swizz says his full name with the FULL last name of "Dean", he exactly says:
 * " Don't even call me swizz no more; Call me Kaseem Dawood Shams-Aldean "

Swizz Beatz is 112.5% of a person?
Half African-American, half Puerto Rican, and one eigth Indian? How in the crap does that work? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.32.232.218 (talk) 17:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

well if Indian means native american, I dont see why it wouldn't work, since Puertorican is a nationality and Native American is a Race, most puertoricans have Taino indian ancestry. They would still be Puertorican. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.61.243 (talk) 03:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Paint collector
I wonder if this information is entirely accurate. I'm guessing that Mr Beatz is an art collector, not a paint collector, but I could be wrong. Does he collect paint? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.23.187.249 (talk) 17:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

involvement with megaupload
he was listed as the megaupload limited's ceo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.120.3 (talk) 17:11, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Personal life
Its reported that swizz.. is dating alicia keys .. and has since been in the process of getting a divorce from his wife —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.59.96.35 (talk) 22:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Swizz only has one child with Mashonda, Kasseem Jr. His son Prince is by another woman. Scandalously enough, he was with Mashonda when Prince was born and she claims she named him, but he is not her son.

The article claims that the legal status of his marriage to Keys is in doubt. Is there a source for this claim? The linked article doesn't say anything about it. 62.177.153.18 (talk) 13:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced claims
I removed some claims that were not supported by their source (or there was none at all). This is covered by WP:Biographies of living people, so be sure everything you add is supported by a reliable source. Superm401 - Talk 03:29, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Composer?
Wouldn't he be considered a songwriter/composer? He has co-writing credits on 165 works in the BMI Repertoire search. . —  Diva    Knockouts   15:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Voltron Force
Nothing noted in the article about his involvement in production of the opening theme for Voltron Force LReyome254 (talk) 00:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

infobox associated acts
, as you can see in the infobox note, the names are listed in alphabetical order by last names, with exception of artists going by one name (e.g, Cassidy) and those using full stage names not based on a first name-last name, e.g., Neo da Matrix and Busta Rhymes (in which case they're ordered by first letter of name). Alicia Keys (first name is artist's real name, by the way) and Sean Garrett are first name-last name monikers, and considered by media as such, hence they're sorted by Keys and Garrett.
