Swizz Beatz - Bad One
Artist: Swizz Beatz
Featuring: Busta Rhymes
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Album: Monster Monday (Week 4)
Label: Monster Music Group
True story. Busta Rhymes read my praise for his seemingly rejuvenated flow on his last Booth offering, Y’all Don’t Really Know, and was so inspired by my words that he decided to get right back in the studio and crank out a new track, Bad One. (Ok, so that’s not a true story at all, but it’s so much more fun to live in my fantasy world.) Unfortunately, the real world Bad One isn’t exactly everything I’d hoped for. While Swizzy’s beat doesn’t strictly follow his production formula, it is almost entirely built around looped drums, whistles and repeating ad-libs. As for Busta, the energy he had on Don’t Know seems to have faded, replaced by a solid but not particularly inspiring flow. I’m not saying he needs to do Woo Ha again, but something even in the same energy ballpark would be nice. Shame, Beatz’ Monster Mondays series seemed to be getting better by the week. But hey, the great thing about a weekly series is you always have the chance to kill the next one. So how about it Swizz? Got some pure dope coming down the pipeline?

The beat is the standout element here, which you'd have to assume is the point of a weekly series courtesy of a producer? Right? Wrong? Moving on...
Busta is, well, Busta. You could take this or leave it. I'll leave it, but please don't follow my lead here. You might think I'm crazy.

Busta is definitely a standout here as well as the beat which Z mentioned earlier. Ludacris would definitely be a good addition on a remix.

i definitely like this track a lot. busta sounds real good on it. i like the beat too. nothin too crazy but it flows good. i agree ludacris or eminem would both sound great on remixes but i think T.I. would blow this beat outta the water

I thought that the quality of Monsta Mondays seemed to be increasing. But, to be honest, I'm not so sure any more.

I like it. The beat sounds very Busta to me and he did put some fire on it. Good work Swizzy.

Compared to last week's track with Busta (and DMX), this just isn't as good. I'm' not remotely ready to write off Monsta Mondays, but if this wasn't a step backwards, at the very least it wasn't a step forward.

Swizz works with dope artists..mainly those who were dope in their prime, but his one trick pony beats are always the downfall. He needs to switch up his style. Busta is Busta, I always expect up to par flow.

i'll take Busta's flow wioth this beat. not a standout track, but its solid. the prob is that the chorus is weak. could Swizzy possibly put less effort on the chorus?

Ok, i have said this time after time..... Swizz beats needs to stick to just producing. His voice ruins every song for me. The dude cant sing or rap. Its sad...
But his beats are some of the best, no doubt. And the beat in this is great. And Busta was a great feature for this. Busta did great in this. His verses was Fire. Even tho i hate when Swizz is in his records.... Keep up the good work Swizz. You cant help but respect him. Im gonna give this a Banger. Busta is the reason for the Banger status. |

Busta could have POSSIBLY saved this even with this wack beat but he fell short.
