If you haven't heard the name, Scott Storch, I guaranteed you have at least danced or bobbed your head to one of his tracks. Scott Storch is/was a mulimillion dollar record producer. He's produced beats for some of the hottest hip hop and r&b artists in the game. Songs like Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E." and Justin Timberlakes "Cry me a River"are a few of his productions. He was a kid from North Philly that grew up with a natural talent for music, eventually getting his start with The Roots, as their sick keyboardist. He's worked with everyone from Dr. Dre, Timbaland, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Beyonce to "dating" Kim K, Paris and Lohan (everything comes in 3's right, even hollywood floozies). At his prime, he was making six figures per song produced.
But like any Roman tragedy, it came crashing down. A severe cocaine habit and a crazy spending habit that would rival Mike Tyson, he eventually declared bankruptcy and is pretty much a deadbeat.
The Miami New Times penned a great article on Scott Storch. It documents his rise, is spending habits, his growing cocaine habit, his delinquency with family, his nativity to about his friends, his downfall and his hopeful comeback into the music industry.
I personally think the guy is a douche (one of his alias is Storchavelli) but could produce some catchy tracks. I'm going to say he deserves what he gets, based on this article. Have a little self control Scotty. Hopefully he makes a comeback and pays off all his debts (so he can take care of his kids) because I'm pretty sure there will some more Storchavelli tracks that you and I will be bobbing our heads to in the near future.
