Swizz Beatz Speaks On ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’

Swizz Beatz stopped by VIBE‘s office to speak on his involvement on Hov’s upcoming album. He also spoke on the marketing plan through Samsung and Billboard not counting the first million sales.

He was being innovative. Some people—they can’t relate to innovation. It’s his album [so] he can do what he wants to do. He’s earned the rights to do whatever he wants to do. He’s put enough time into this game with Billboard and any other outlet. He’s his own boss and there’s a reason why he did it that way.”

Yesterday,Swizz Beatz announced he will be partnering withMonster Cable Inc. as an investor and board member. Says chief executive, Noel Lee:

“Swizz will advise us on our creative direction, product design and our marketing. We’ll be looking to him to tell us what’s next. He’s the real deal. He doesn’t get involved in something unless he believes in it.”

Swizzy adds:

“I analyzed and studied the company for a couple of years. It felt like this is the right time to be in business together. I have a seat on the board. I am a co-owner. This is a graduation for Monster, and it’s a graduation for me. For Monster, it shows they are investing in the culture. They are not doing things just to get by. In the next few months, the world will see who the monsters are in this world.”
