Bangladesh, best known for his work on Lil Wayne’s ‘A Milli’ and Nicki Minaj’s ‘Did It On Em’, sat down with XXL Magazine recently and didn’t have the best words for fellow producer Swizz Beatz. According to Bang, Swizzy wouldn’t be relevant if it wasn’t for his highly publicized marriage to Alicia Keys. He continued to shoot slugs and throw blatant shade on his rival producer further by saying that Swizz doesn’t make hit records.

Check out what he had to say:

“I don’t think Swizz is relevant. I’m keeping it 100. I think there’s a difference between relevance and musical relevance. You married a lady that’s poppin’ [Alicia Keys], you know it’ll give you a lot of relevance, but you gotta make hits. Ain’t no hits. Are you relevant for the craft you’re doing or the life you live as far as the decisions you make?”

The relevance is in being youthful. Still being in-the-know. I have a 15 year old son so they think we’re brothers and I put him on to stuff. You know, I’m 34 but people tell me I look 23. He still look to me for information. Usually it’s the opposite; usually the parents are lame or too old to understand or whatever. Just the way I feel, I got so much more time.”

 

That’s a pretty bold statement there, Bang.

Meanwhile, despite his catalog, Swizz had some production on Nas’ most recent number 1 album, a current endorsement deal with Reebok and a recent Grammy.
