Video: Scott Storch Recovering From Cocaine Addiction, $30 Million Loss
Scott Storch isn’t dead. He’s not in jail. The famed producer isn’t even on the run from the police, as you may have heard through the grapevine over the past year. Storch has been focusing on rebuilding his life, because he did, in fact, hit rock bottom.
Lost in a three-year cocaine-abusing haze, he lost more money than most people reading this story will see in five lifetimes: $30 million. Yes, he blew almost his entire fortune on coke, cars, houses, lavish trips, partying and a series of what he calls “poor judgment decisions.”
…
But he has come out of his white-powder fog. The producer says he is in recovery, and, as people who love his music will be elated to hear, he’s back making music. On Wednesday night, MTV News caught up with the Grammy winner, who at one time could do no wrong in the studio as he supplied classic beats, not mere hits, for people like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Fat Joe and Beyoncé.“I’m taking it back to square one,” he said, sitting in a Miami studio. The boards in the factory displayed his name and his publishing company, Tuff Jew. “I found myself slipping a little bit,” he said with a very anxious look on his face. “I got involved in doing drugs. I had to get myself into recovery. Being in the life that I was living — very fast-moving, option to do anything you want, go anywhere you wanna go — it definitely takes its toll on you, and you lose your concept of reality. I had to get it under control. I had to take it back to the beginning and back to the Hit Factory, where I made a lot of my hits.”
Storch is currently living in a three-quarter house, where he is supervised by a live-in counselor but allowed to go to work in the studio as long as he’s back by curfew.

The big and the small of this is Roth referred to no ethnic group in particular. ‘Hanging with some nappy headed hoes’ could be talking about jewish hoes, black hoes, puerto rican hoes, samoan hoes. To quote Cameron Giles ‘You maaaaad?’ Stop reaching, at worst he cracked a joke in poor taste.
We black people need to stop being alarmist. Some white people do like us, some tolerate us, some hate us. I don’t think Asher belongs in the 3rd category because he’s a 20-something with a goofy sense of humor.
Why aren’t we upset about Ross/jig/jada’s tales of cocaine excess? If a quarter of what they say is true they’re killing more of our people than Asher is.
Why aren’t we pissed that the rap game is 90% black but short of exceptions like Dame most company heads and agents remain white.
The kid said something stupid. He is not the sole representative of the white race.

All your hypotheticals fail to understand the fact that words matter, they hold symbolic weight, and small actions in great number have huge effects- that goes for both good and bad actions.
I’m not losing sleep over Asher Roth but he deserves to be checked. What’s the problem?

–Since you put it that way i overstand (c) land… But i still think he didnt mean it with bad intententions
======================================
Obviously not, but white people being racially insensitive is a problem. How do you not realize that people are gonna be offended by a statement like that. I swear, I don’t know what public figures are thinking when shit like this comes out. Cats need to think before they express themselves. What may seem funny in your mind doesn’t always seem funny to others.

My point in a nutshell.
I’m done.
April 24th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Storch is an idiot. How you blow $30 Mill & have nothing to show for it?
April 24th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I agree 100 percent with dorian gray
Rappers talk about committing black on black crime with guns and dealing crack to black people. Destroying their own race is alright.
But let asher or em say something and they pump their black fists in the air.
Gtfoh.

Let’s go after the vendors that put walmarts in our communities, let’s go after high fructose corn syrup based products, let’s go after the rappers that regularly brag about how much they poison their brothers and sisters. Sheesh.

Wait a minute. Leave Walmart alone where else can you buy slippers, a power saw, a shotgun, 2 Rick ross cd’s and some stuff for dinner. lol

April 24th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Thats cause Ricks paychecks came from everywhere. He wrote a lot of hits and produced a lot of songs. Plus he had that gap money.. thats when you get that pure colombian blow…
Gap money > Drug money

Damn, that sucks. I hope he makes a comeback. I love his beats.
I want to ask, this guy has to be nowhere near broke. It was reported that his NET worth was 70 mil. He supposedly “blew” through 30 so that leaves a shitload of money leftover. Somethin’ just aint right with this story at all. I don’t believe he blew through all of his cash. How is that even possible!?
Anyway, keep ur head up, scotty.
