The One Man, Band Man Is Working Like Crazy
Swizz says his challenging work schedule pushed him to a breaking point. When you have 50 Cent, Madonna, Chris Brown and Usher all waiting in line for tracks, you don’t exactly have time for rest.
“I [was] up for four days straight,” he said of what caused the illness. “I was paralyzed from my legs down. I was twisted. I was f—ed up! … N—as call me ‘The Monster’ because how I work in the studio so hard. I can’t do it no more. I gotta be on the schedule but still be able to do what I have to do. I just gotta invest in my health right now. That day I went in the hospital changed my whole life. I could have came out in a wheelchair.”
Damn you must be oding to end up in the hospital. He must really be passionate about making music.

^^^Co-sign, I truely respect his hustle, and i’m glad he recognized this before it got outta hand. the last thing hip-hop needs is another great producer dying ala J-dilla.

Yeah, hustle is much respected but, if you ain’t taking care of your health it’s all for nothing. You won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Balance.

how the hell does sleep deprivation paralyze someone?
yo musta been poppin some shit to stay up or sumthin.
yo tried to blame it on the lack of sleep, nigga it was the use of drugs that prevented your legs from working.
thats crazy though. he tryna get that money.

Shit, I stayed up for almost 3 days straight and got sick off that shit, when I tried going back to sleep I couldnt, lol, that shit had me feeling fucked up, paranoid and shit, I was tired as hell but my brain didn’t want to go to sleep.
May 29th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Yeah but I agree with T and TDOT, you dont get paralyzed from sleep deprivation. Thats unheard of. lol

He had meningitis (read the article). I think Professor X (X Clan) died from that.
On a side note, how the fu*k do you not sleep for 4 days? If I even close my eyes after being up 12 hrs, it’s a wrap. lol.
May 29th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
When I start thinking “I just need to rest my eyes” it’s over.

Swizz just needed 2 relax, spend some time with his little dude & Mashonda, that’s all; I think he’ll be aiight.
I worked in the laboratory for 2 days straight and when I got in my car 2 drive home around the corner, I got on the freeway and ended up in Baltimore, so I’m here 2 tell you that sleep deprivation can definitely have an adverse reaction.
I feel ya on that Swiiiiiizz
