Scott Storch, Gettin' Back on Track

Grammy Award winner, Scott Storch, hits rock bottom.  With his home in foreclosure and grand theft auto charges, Storch who at one point was one of the industried hottest producers, has watched his fortunes fade thanks to his addiction.  Talking with MTV, Storch addresses the media hype that surrounds his name and where he goes from here.

"I found myself slipping a little bit, 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."

Eminem Talks Hip Hop, LiL Wayne & T.I.

“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any name, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”
