Swizz Beatz "That Oprah (‘Viva La Vida’ Freestyle)"
He probably won’t ever convince anyone to believe in him as a rapper, but Swizz Beatz‘ role as a charismatic hype-man is hard to deny, especially when he’s coming up with golden, “sure-to-be-adopted-by-wannabe-baller” hook chants like “Michael Jordan/ Tiger Woods/ I’m tryna to get that Oprah” (If only he could have brought in someone with a stronger spit game to fill in the spaces between that one line, instead of offering us his lame attempt at a “freestyle”).
FYI Swizz, chopping up “Viva La Vida” into a bounce number is kinda cool, but beware, those Coldplay fanatics are truly “gangsta” and you’re about to get a ton of e-thug heat for messing with what’s become a cherished nu-classic.

jeez swizz, you F@#king suck.
when people are acquainted with a different form of art.. they will always hate.. do your thing swizzy.. the track is sick!
Laying simplistic rhyming mechanisms from the first grade over actual quality composed music…will never impress me.
yeah i dont think he will ever be hot as a rapper but he does have swag, and he’s smart i think he’s invested in that kid robot company (and they are HOT)!
