Title: Scott Storch
Post by: Eihtball on December 16, 2005, 09:10:34 PM
Anyone other than me think he's nothing but a poor man's Dr. Dre?  Aside from "The Streets" for WC, I don't like a whole lot of stuff he does.  Almost every beat he produces sounds like a Dre imitation, except with less sonic detail and musical depth.  And now he wants to be the next Lil Jon as well, it seems.  He needs to stick with The Roots and doing keyboard hooks for Dre, nothing more.

Ah, correct, wrong track.  I seem to remember a review saying he did, but yeah, I got it twisted.

OK, well, make that ONE song of his I like. ;D

a valid point but you have to give atleast some credit for his output whereas dr dre isn't putting out hardly any beats these days. and i know its about quality and not quantity but there is an absolutely enormous difference between storch's output and dre's these days, even if he is working with some dodgy artists...

Yeah, like Paris Hilton.

Imitators still annoy me, tho.  Then again, I used to say the same thing about QD3 back in the day until I heard "Letter to the President" from Pac and the Outlawz' "Still I Rise" album.

Scott Storch is alright. his beats are just too...generic sounding. most of his beats got that just-add-water-and-stir sound to it. "Run It" by Chris Brown is nice (so is that other song that plays at the end of his 2nd video), im feelin that "Turn It Up" by Chamillionaire, and a few other tracks. But he's weak most of the times

Yep.
Storch is watering himself down with all these hiphop/r'n'b crossover joints on the radio, where 85% of them sounds like the same track, seems like he's handing out beats to anybody that can come up with a decent sized cheque..
Never liked his bass, but his keys are some times crazy, so he should work more with Dre..

Storch is with Lil Jon the worst beatmaker who have been on top these last 5 years . Though he's crazy on the keys

I'm sure he could make his beats better if he tried but he is Jewish so he'll probably keep making shit beats for shit artists just for big bags of money.

There's no denying that he's a huge hitmaker though. Seems like every several weeks, a new Storch-produced track hits the charts. I'm convinced that Lil Jon is pissed at Storch for "Run It". Maybe that's what made Lil Jon call him a biter.

I'd love it if Storch played keys on at least 1\4 of Detox. He has a great chemistry with Doc Dre.

I can't stand Scott Storch.

The only good beat he has ever made was Bottles & Up for Benzino.

I actually like a lot of his beats, even his generic club soundin beats. Many of them are only for the club, and I get tired of hearin some of em from just playin em on my own. But he found his formula, and it usually works to me. They probably won't have much longevity and will sound dated in some years, but when it comes to singles and club tracks, all you really need is solid drums and a decent melody to go with it, and he mastered the simplicity of that.

Also, Lil Jon is actually a pretty good producer. But just like Scott now and the Neptunes a few years ago, he found his simple formula which caught on and had everybody on it so he sticks with it. But Jon can still do other types of beats that are sick, especially his west coast soundin ones.

Bigg Scotty is just another clone on the beat boards, a droid, C3PO, R2D2, the cleaning lady in The Jetsons, etc.

I hear that  ;D

Scott Storch is waaaaaaaay overrated. He's not even half the producer he used to be anyways.

Agreed 100%

I think Storch is better under someone elses guidance, he comes up with crazy melodies, but that's usually where it stops.

i think the problem with Scorch (lol) is that everybody right now is requesting beats from him, so he just make beats and if they are catchy, its a done deal.

you're crazy. lil jon's beats BANG...he's just annoying as fuck when he talks on em.

Young Buck - "Shorty Wanna Ride" is a good example of what he should do. sell beats and shut up
