Superproducer Scott Storch Unbelievable Tool
posted by on March 2 at 15:21 PM
I’ve always kind of hated Scott Storch, the former Roots keyboardist (listed in the liners of Do You Want More?!?! as “dessert chef”) turned pop mega-producer. But my casual distaste for his tinny, fake Middle-Eastern faux-Dre beats has turned into deepest, blackest loathing. THE MOTHERFUCKER DECIDED TO RAP.
And not just any kind of rap—the self-proclaimed “Tuff Jew” is using his debut on the mic to diss Timbaland, an actual skilled producer (who, admittedly, also has no business rapping). “Built Like Dat” is Storch’s rebuttal to what he felt was Timbaland dissing him on Justin Timberlake’s “Give It To Me”:
I’m a real producer and you just a piano man…
The beef all stems to another JT song, “Cry Me A River,” which Storch alleges he produced in some part, though he received no credit. OK, fine, it’s well-known that producers employ studio musicians and ghost producers to write parts, such as Storch in the cases of both Timbo and Dr. Dre. Timbaland talking shit on other producers is also well-documented—check Timbo’s answering-machine addition to Eminem & Dr.Dre’s Jermaine Dupri-bashing “Say What You Say.” Producer beef, silly as it is, is only natural what with hiphop producers being more famous than the rappers that hire them.
HOWEVER! None of this means I should have to endure the sight of the gelled-up, stunna-clad Storch posing hard. None of this means I should have to stomach his “hot bars,” comparing the back of Timbaland’s neck to a pack of franks. Scotty Boy looks like a shiny-shirt Belltown Red Bull & Vodka junkie, just aching to run down somebody in his rimmed-up Excursion. In other words, he can’t talk.
So share my misery. Below I’ve posted up the JT video that set it off, and Storch’s abortion of a response.
Justin Timberlake- Give It To Me
Scott Storch f/Nox- Built Like Dat
The only thing that could possibly make me feel better after all that is someone hilariously prank calling Storch (and maybe Hulk Hogan)—oh thank god.
Wow, that is the worst rapping I've ever heard. I want Scott Storch to come to Seattle so I can bash his head into the troll.
the best/worst part of the whole debacle is how low-budget storch's beat is. sounds like a tossed-off mix tape b-side.
"ain't tryin' to perpetuate this bullshit, give you any more attention" storch mumbles on the outtro. wait, what? you just spewed out an entire track of bullshit!
dude's like school in the summertime -- no class.
How would you tell which one was the Troll and which was Scott Storch?
Zing!
Looking at the picture at the top, I didn't realize until now that Scott Storch and Michael Cera from TV's Arrested Development were the same person.
Also, he's made a huge mistake.
Maybe he should hook up with Matt and Kim?
Both videos look like parodies produced by college students for an "Intro to Video Production" class.
The Timbaland video is pretty effective IMO. And the song has grown on me.

Things have gone terribly terribly wrong when your chain costs more than your video.
He looks like the biggest douche in the music industry--which is really saying something. I bet his dick is tiny, too.
Hey man, Leave the Hulkster out of this!
maybe you should all check out the Macho Man Randy Savage uhhh.."rap" (i guess) album. thats the real deal.
Whatcha gonna do, brotha!?
I think he stole his grandmothers' bathrobe. (Homey)
What ever you say it is nice to have a producer who can actually play an f***ing instrument. All these other guys are just junk collectors, piecing together someone else's genius. Scott, who i have known for a long time, is an extremely talented musician. When I here his music, I know it's Scott. He ain't ripping off Dre, rather gave him that sound your squawking about. But then you are just another pundit, who can't do anything, for lack of talent, and spends their time beating down others who do. See I may disagree with some of Scotts decisions, ie who to hang or work with, but could never take away the talent. Because he has got too much of it, if a bad taste in style. At the end of the day, he will be around a long time as he can work across genre. I would tend to say that Scott has been ripped off, his sound that is, rather than the other way around, because I have been hearing him play music for about 15 years. Play, not string together samples of melodies and beats made popular thirty years ago so that the musically challenged can recognize something pleasing and familiar to their years as they know no better. Dude, get some talent, then comment.
