Scott Storch raked in hip-hop millions and then snorted his way to ruin.


The scrawny, creative kid wasn't much of an athlete anyway. But it turns out he was a virtuoso on the keys. By age 12, he was landing paid gigs. As an adult, he parlayed that ability into studio production, eventually becoming one of hip-hop's elite beatmakers. He laid backdrops for nearly every rap or R&B superstar of the past decade, including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent.

Sounds like a great guy though.

Found on wikipedia something that longform.org gave short shrift to, at least as it pertains to what's up with the cheapness for mama:

"""After dropping out of high school in the ninth grade, Storch was expelled from home at the age of 16."""

I'm sure Scott's take on his mom would be interesting, to say the least. She must look at Biggie's mom, Puff Dildo's mom, etc. with total jealousy.

Oh well - I kinda dug his Timbaland Diss...

You would've thought with all that money, he would have hired a better music video producer.

But then again, this whole feud was what created this...

Which I also dug.

Random Timbaland Ghetto Fact:

" In 1986, when Timbaland was 15 years old, he was accidentally shot by a co-worker at the local Red Lobster restaurant and was partially paralyzed for nine months"

Why am I posting here?
 
Scott seems to be getting his life back together. Here he can be seen playing the piano last year.

The keyboard part* is important to that song, but I don't think Storch was involved with anything else on it.
