#308 of 366: Top Down, Swizz Beats

Gotta up the energy a little here. Picture it, Saranac, 1998.

I’m a sophomore from Redford and get introduced to “Ruff Ryder’s Anthem”, and more specifically, DMX. I knew Swizzy was a member at some point back then, but I didn’t know he produced RRA.

Fast forward to last year and I just loved the message that this song leads and ends with.

“Wherever you are, SHINE!, whoever you are, SHINE!”

I have a fun playlist called “On my Ted Lasso Shit”, which I’ll link below, and the vibe of this song fits it. Be you. Don’t let haters dim your light. Swizzy says “shake em off “. Do your thing. Change the world a little bit at a time.

Didn’t think Golden Girls and Ruff Ryders made sense together did ya? They do in my life! 😀

Be good, do good.
