[Video] Swizz Beatz Explains Tax Problems + Talks Copping Eddie Murphy’s Mansion

Wednesday morning, Swizz Beatz (real name Kasseem David Dean) visited Power 105’s ‘The Breakfast Club’ talking financial woes, rumors that he’s producing The Lox new record (with DJ Khaled), thoughts on DMX and Eve’s new sound and why he’s not putting out another album.

On the financial tax problems that have been reported in the media: 

I’m dealing with a different type of business now. I would usually let it ride…I wanted to over-ride it. I don’t have nothing to hide. Sometimes you got to, do it (prove). I’m not gonna say I ain’t never have tax problems, as you get older you know how to maintain your funds, maintain your business. It’s like you have to know how to graduate those things. When you doing business, everybody knows everything. I have to be responsible, anyway.

Rumors that he and Alicia bought Eddie Murphy’s old mansion:

Yeah, it’s true.

Thoughts on DMX’s new music: 

He has a passion for what he want. It’s kinda hard to step-in, with your opinion, without taking over the whole project. I got an album for X, all he hasta do is fill in the blanks.

Thoughts on rapper Eve’s new music: 

Once again, that’s Eve’s choice. I don’t know how artists choose their song.

On when fans will hear another Swizz Beatz album: 

I’m just having moments, I’m having memorable moments. I don’t wanna do an album anymore. I’m going hard with it. You can see it in the movie theater, you can see it in the cabs, the AMA. I just wanna go hard with it as a beta test.
