In this recent interview with MTV, Swizz Beatz clearly states that the movie he currently is doing the film score for is going to be bigger than Avatar. Ironic how he says this the same week that Avatar bypasses Titanic as the highest box office grossing film in the U.S. in HISTORY. That means EVER…completing the triple crown of box office with highest grossing film in the world, internationally and domestically.

Swizz Beatz I really doubt the movie you are working on is going to be bigger than Avatar unless what you are working on is Avatar 2, Titanic 2: The Return of Jack or a reality film that shows the resurrection of Tupac, Biggie and the dude from Milli Vanilli.

We all know Swizz Beatz passion outside of music (and Alicia Keys) is art. Remember his tribute piece to Michael Jackson? In this interview Swizz drops some serious knowledge about the business of fine art. A good business to get into if gas and oil isn’t your thing.

Swizz Beatz x Louboutin. Kanye West paved the way for the hip-hop high-end luxury sneaker collaborations with his Louis Vuittons. Now word has it that Swizz Beatz is teaming up with Christian Louboutin for a 2010 sneaker collaboration. Now word yet on the price range but considering a pair of Louboutin women’s shoes run from $1k-$2K they definitely will be more on the expensive side. They just look like $79 Converse hi-tops to me though. Via: Cavi

Chris redeems himself to some point with this video. Hate to compliment the guy but this is pretty creative. Optimus Prime would be proud.

Swizz Beatz always has had pretty high standard taste. From his Ferrari collection to his growing art collection. And at the same time he has been developing his own skills as an artist as well.¬† Swizz shows off his latest piece, a tribute to MJ called “Remember the Time.”

Swizz Beatz x Hennessy Black. Swizz Beatz and Hennessy have teamed up as the producer/rapper will help launch the limited Hennessy Black label to the marketplace. The key to the promotion is Swizz’s single “When I Step In The Club” which prominently promotes Hennessy Black and is directed by Hype Williams.

Part of the promotions include integrated on and offline marketing efforts. According to an official statement:

“Last week, professional dancers surprised club goers in four major markets when they performed an original “UP/DOWN” dance routine to the new Swizz Beatz song. Following the dance, consumers were handed an all-black business card that directed them to the Hennessy Black website, where they could check out the new Swizz Beatz video and original song, drink recipes and in the coming weeks, videos of consumers creating their own “Up/Down” dance.”

“These clips will also be posted to the Hennessy Black YouTube channel, where consumers will be able to vote for their favorites from each city. The most popular dancers will be flown to LA, where Hype Williams will film them and cut them into a new version of the video.”

Swizz Beatz has been known for his extravegant style, love for flashy cars and of course his multi-platinum produced hits. The NY Post has this great video though that highlights Swizz’s other passion…art. And we are talking high-priced, high-society art here. But he also paints his own stuff too. Check out the video. This gives me some new found appreciation for the guy. (Source)

Swizz Beatz has taken part in a educational PSA marketing campaign for Street Science, a school supply maker with an urban focus. As part of the Street Science ad campaign timed for “back-to-school,” urban celebs from Swizz Beatz, Yung Berg and DJ Enuff have taken part in PSAs and print ads in urban magazines.

“Our goal was to try to get personalities and artists who are in the target range of our target consumer,” said Joseph Anthony, fonder of Street Science. “We didn’t want anyone who had achieved goals that were seemingly unattainable. We wanted to pick people with careers that are accomplishable.” Check out the Swizz Beatz and Yung Berg PSAs here:
