Scott Storch has a bone to pick with the Grammy committee. The super-producer, who was named Billboard's number one Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop producer of 2005, feels he was snubbed in the Producer of the Year category for the 48th annual Grammy Awards.
The Producer of the Year nominees for the Feb. 8 ceremony in Los Angeles are the Neptunes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Danger Mouse, Nigel Godrich, and Steve Lillywhite.
"I was extremely disappointed to find I was not nominated, and even more so when I saw the list of nominees," said Storch.
Last year, the veteran producer opened the first 20 weeks of the year with back-to-back number one hits—Mario's "Let Me Love You" and 50 Cent's "Candy Shop," featuring Olivia. "Candy Shop" went on to become the number one ringtone of 2005.
Storch ended the year strong with Chris Brown's "Run It!" which held the number one spot on the singles chart for five weeks, as well as five songs on Billboard's Hot 100 Year End songs chart.
Overall, Storch produced 13 hit singles that were released in 2005.
Although he said he isn't trying to disregard the nominees, Storch feels it's hard to justify some of the names when looking at the big picture.
Three of the candidates (Danger Mouse, Godrich and Lillywhite) have one or two albums credited to their names for the entire year, said Storch, adding that Jam and Lewis have worked with many artists but have not had as many 2005 number ones as Storch.

Not a big fan of storch but to me 13 hit singles deserves a nomination at least.

storch is a straigh biter but talented as fuck, has has no real unique creativity about him is the problem, he worked with dre, got himself a dre sound, keeping it clean and crisp and making sure his melody is banging, and some effects in the background, then he went with timbo for a while, learnt to copy his drum patterns and and some other timbo ideals then went off with liljon, took he bassline and southside drumbeat pattern and some other shit.........
he like a lil bit of everyone......who produces dope beats but will never be any of the three named above, he needs to find himself.....if he can
peace

Agree.

he doesnt deserve a grammy, his "music" doesnt expand past a 1 bar synth loop and a drum pattern. it bangs good, but the shelf life of his songs are about 3 months

Couldnt of said it any betta, u like the average storch beat for bout 3 months then u dont listen to it anymore
-
Scott is at the peak of his success but he has never been so inconsistent, seems like he doesn't put work in some of his beats. C'mon that Chamillionaire sounds so unprofessionnal, I'm pretty sure I can do that beat on my PC. Plus the thing I don't like is his drums, they usually don't hit hard. Should stick to play keys coz he's amazing at that 8)

He's a weak producer, that's why. Very weak for that matter.

How can he question for instance Dangermouse's nomination, when he produced the entire Gorillaz album (extremely dope) and the Dangerdoom (solid). It takes a lot more skill to mold the sound of a whole album, than it does to produce a load of singles, and its quite obvious a whole album produced by Storch would get boring real quick. His only beat that I could listen to more than a couple of times without being extremely annoyed was the Mario track, other than that all his other stuff is plain annoying, shitty synth sounding crap.
-
jewboy's beats be shallow
-
As a producer, Storch is aight. But I'd rather hear him play keys on a Dre beat that's mixed properly. Storch beats sound dry most of the time. He does bite quite a lot. "Run It" sounds like a Lil Jon production, while "Turn It Up" sounds like he jacked elements of Fat Joe's "Live My Lifestyle" beat.

Damn you hitted the nail on the head. 13 hit singles definitely deserve a grammy nomination though IMO.

WTF
one bar loop???
u like those super complex patterns, but how about chamillionaire :"TURN IT UP"
WTF thats is a nice ass BEATTTTTT bangs in the club
he goes into a different octave on parts of the song...
dude is one of the most sought after producers out... i dont get yall???
very versatile, R N B and hip hop takes alot of talent 2 do that.
4got to add something... yall remember SLY BOOGIE.. ITS NUTHIN <<== that was a storch record, that beat was bangin

Storch is somewhat underrated and gets knocked by certain people, even though I can see why he gets it.
Many of his beats are simple, and have a certain emptiness to them, but many of them are good stages for dope songs. His beats sound great in clubs, and in many cases, they bring out the best in the rapper who is on them. Sly's flow was amazingly consistent on "That's my name", 50's flow was catchy as hell on "Just a lil bit", Fat Joe was at an all time high after bein in the game for 8 years on "Lean Back" (most rappers never have their biggest hit that late in their career), and even Juelz who I usually hate came off on "Run it." Along with that, for anybody who dances, they know that he makes the most danceable tracks in Hip Hop, even over Timbo and The Neptunes...especially when it comes to clown dancing and anything related.
One of my main knocks against him is how too many of his songs sound nearly identical. Most producers have a signature sound, and many of them end up havin songs that have similar elements. But there are Scott songs where you hear a new one and get it confused with another track, or even to when you can ONLY think of another song he did when you hear a new track because it's that similar. Thing is, he's doin just what the Neptunes and Lil Jon did for a while, which is just to milk that style while it's hot. I know that he can come up with somethin that sounds completely different from his usual style, but he's gonna save that for later and get as much money as he can using the style he has now, because that's the easiest thing to do.

Agreed.

He Probably Should've Gotten A Nomination, But Just Don't Complain About It. It Ain't Gonna Change Nothing.
-
Just a little bit, thats one of the best beats this year, he produced tons of tight shit and doesnt use the same ass synth sound like lil jon for all his singles and he can actually play the keyboard well
-
the Grammys are bullshit every yead no matter what. Most award shows are garbage, but the Grammys have been shitty towards rap music ever since i can remember. Ill never forget the year they put Sisqo's "Thong Song" in the "Best Rap" category.

I haven't heard many Scott Storch beats I thought were particularly memorable - almost all of them are formulaic in their choice of samples, bass bottoms, synthesizers, etc. I just can't get the thought outta my head that he's basically a poor man's Dr. Dre, and that more recently, he's become the poor man's Lil Jon as well. And there's a good reason for that - everything he does is intended to exploit a winning contemporary production style, G-Funk, crunk, etc. He does do some wicked keyboard hooks ("Still D.R.E." is immortal), but his actual productions are still just imitations of other producers' style, except with far less sonic detail.
u like those super complex patterns, but how about chamillionaire :"TURN IT UP"

I thought that was a pretty hot single, too, but the thing is, I seriously can't see why Cham paid $300 Grande for that beat.
