Jonathan "J.R." Rotem >> Scott Storch

[Jome]

Maybe not in terms of tracksheet or hits, but he'll get there, bigger potential and more versatile than Storch.
The best up and coming producer out there, imo.

Discuss.

when i bumped DA in the car there was one track that stood out. california vacation had the craziest beat by a long way and really silly bass - jr is the next best thing to dre right now.

[d-nice]

He uses more live instruments than Scott. Scott's beat at times sound synthetic. Heavy on the keys too on alot of tracks. He has put out some dope shit this year already, but I would go with JR in the long run also.

[GangstaBoogy]

No question about it. JR's beats go hard. Scott Storch is hit or miss. I'm pretty tired of his just-add-water-n-stir beats.

West Coast?

I agree that JR is doing some big things and I know Scott is hit or miss, but after hearing Make it Rain I am convinced Storch is still near the top.

JR uses some more unconventional sounds, listen to california vacation there's a kind of crazy sound that hits a high note. in the lil kim track he's got a typical storch sound but gives it a lot more bounce with those electro style drums that drop on the beat. he's innovating with all kinds of sounds. that track Vishiss ft. Fredro Starr & Sticky Fingaz - FLATDAFUCCOUT that someone hooked up a while ago is pretty out there in terms of the sounds being used. still bangs really hard though, the bassline is mad.

LOL, that's a synthesizer sampled from Ohio Players' "Funky Worm" that's been used on a zillion West Coast songs from the 90s.  That ain't "uncoventional", you trippin son.

[Matty]

nah not that sound, the guitar sounding noise that sticks out

After making shitty beats for a while, I think Scott has been better lately ( Ups and Downs, Game and Fat Joe album, the beat for Tyrese or on the Meth cd) nothing mind blowing though... J.R got some nice beats and yep is more versatile than Scott...

[⠀]

california vaction is an amazing song. any more jr productions?

[Tha G In Deee]

I feel J.R. is the better producer right now, "California Vacation" & "Doctor's Advocate" got me hooked...the beat he did for Rick Ross's "Push It" is solid...

Oh shit I forgot he did Ross's "Push It"  ok Jome I agree    J.R. > Storch

West Coast?

Bay Area

Think About It is better imo.. you just like Make It Rain better because of Lil Wayne.

Word, the Push It remix with Bun-B, Jada, Styles & The Game is even more fiyyah.

he got a long way to go yet befo he can step into scotts shoes......i aint even a big scott storch fan but nah, gotta disagree on this......he got potential but he gotta do alot mo yet before he can step up to scott........this coming from someone who dislikes half his beats...........thats my opinion
