Songwriter and producer Scott Storch is no stranger to success. After being drafted into hip-hop band The Roots in 1994 upon moving to Philadelphia, the group's first album Do You Want More?!!!??! leaned heavily on Storch's distinctive use of the Fender Rhodes and would help define their sound. Storch's playing would eventually lead him to Dr. Dre, for whom he would come up with the classic piano riff found on “Still D.R.E.” From there, Storch would go on to feature in and produce hit records for the likes of Beyoncé, Fat Joe, and Justin Timberlake, becoming one of the most sought after producers of the mid-2000s in the process. His meteoric rise in the industry had its downsides though, the party lifestyle eventually leading to Storch entering rehab in 2009 and filing for bankruptcy in 2015. Since then, Storch has re-entered the music industry with more drive and inspiration than ever, working with some of the most exciting names in modern rap, including Young Thug, Russ, and Trippie Red.

@V. P. N he wrote dr dre verse listen to m
@V. P. N Jay z wrote everyone's lyrics on still dre
2pac was right Other mofos was doing the work and Dre was getting the credit
When Dre hears a sound & says "That's It"...
*That's It*
Dre added the bass and engineered it. THIS guy actually created the main reason we love the song
100% but at the same time we wouldn't have it if they both didn't meet and work together. Dre also was the one who told Storch to play it again.
It takes every part from producer, musician, sandwich delivery guy, and the opportunity to noodle
@@joshuafult84 key details
@@wedomusic9451 Waiting for the interview with the sandwich delivery guy 😆
@@shaunz383 😆😆😆
We shouldn't ignore the part about Eve introducing him to Dre because he was "always good to her" that's one amazing bit I took from this video.
Me too. Eve us great.
So he is the legend behind the cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling cling song
👍 for the correct amount of "clings"
Dedication to be admired..haha
Don't forget the tu ru ru ru ru ru ru
Its called "Still Dre"
Robert Bermudez no shit sherlock
Vic Cypress lol none taken 🤣
You can feel the emotion in his voice 0:56 he respects dre so much 🙏🏽
You have to appreciate Scott Storch and his contribution to hip hop. Seen him on Instagram lately? He’s still making bangers.
Johnny Guerrero cant wait for the new lox
Joseph Freeman when is that coming out?
not sure seen them on instagram with scott live in the studio. They just started touring again
True talent will never fall off, storch is proof of that
i agree this guy went broke to sniffing cocaine out of hookers bootyholes and now he is back to take the #1 spot
Pure talent
He is making an amazing comeback
Plus work ethic
True
He composed the most epic beat in Hip Hop history.
Still dre🔥
I just always loved the fact that Scott,Dre, Snoop & specifically Jay z, is apart of one of my all time favorite hip hop records.
Why Scott Storch look like Elon Musk grew up in the hood eatin Twinkies.
and those old-fashioned ,froggy, peddofile, glasses....he look like a jonah hill big brother or somethin...
Elon musk is from south Africa
This isn't funny since there is like zero resemblance
Bwahaahaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa
lmao
Scott Storch is a legend in the game...
Coke head he's a Coke head
@@cliftonyoung7838 Jimi Hendrix was a druggie and he's a legend. Bob Marley was a pothead and he's a legend. Your point?
@@nickp646 and not only that he's still using drugs
@@cliftonyoung7838 and? Let the man do drugs. Em was popping pills for the first decade of his career and he became a legend. Again, what's your point?
@@nickp646 shut the fuk up and get off my line
Arguably the greatest Hip-Hop beat in history. Definitely top 5 ALL TIME.
No
Yeah.. that’s a hard no.
This is the hardest ruclips.net/video/rk5SMlZ4PY4/видео.html
Y'all are retarded and have no idea about hip hop. This shit is iconic all u have to do is play the intro and people know what it is. Anyone who says other wise is an idiot with shit taste in music and zero information on the history of hip hop.
@@GG66.6 What do you consider better beats? I'm just curious. Still Dre is def top 10 all time for me.
Wow I always thought Dre came up with the piano part. I didn't know about Storch till recently. It's crazy he made so many song melodies that I like
Don't let the title fool you, Storch did make the piano part but the rest of it was all Dre.
@@ChrisJohnson-ib5fp like the lyrics?? 😂
@@ChrisJohnson-ib5fp yeah we know Scott literally says dre made the snare
I don't think Dre really composed much of anything for a lot of his beats that weren't sampled. He'd bring in musicians to do the instrumentation for most of his beats.
Such a humble guy for all that he's achieved
Shout out to Scott and Jay z for this song 🙌🏾💯
Wtf
@@salaheddine9251 Jay-Z actually wrote the lyrics for the song
*"..poetry and rap called the black Lilly, and um, i ran into a girl that I knew from Philly..."* Scott tryna rhyme! Haha!
Dre composed music for the firm album. One of the dopest albums in Hip Hop history.
thank you for this RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY!!!🔥❤️
Dr Dre and the humble Scott, 2 legends 👍👍😍😍
This is why learning a SKILL & making it a CRAFT is important!!! Had nothing & cuz what he could do with his fingers made his career.
I doubt i'll ever hear an album with better beats than Chronic 2001. Seriously, the instrumentals on that album still bang and sound fresh. Imagine if Dre dropped Detox around 2005/06...everything would be different in hiphop.
Storch made alot of bangers. Give this legend his flower
The Piano Man! Dont forget his beef with timbaland
Timbaland is very ovveratrd.
@@kid5042 thank you. Legendary in his own right but there are others as well.
venom2k2 entertaining but dumb ass beef ...they could've just collabed
That whole beef thing was simply related to the song *Cry Me A River.* Scott didn't get his Production credits as he only gotten Writing credits for Co-Writing the song. No one never know what on went behind the scenes between them two since Timbaland gotten both Writing and Production credits as the Co-Writer of the song and Producer for oversessing the vision of the finished record. Timbaland also hired Larry Gold and the Southwest Chamber Orchestra that provided the string arrangment. Scott is claiming not getting credited as a Producer for the song as he must of been an acting role as a Co-Producer opposed to only Co-Writing the beat. Normally when a Record Producer has finished the record, they charge an up front advances for the Masters that gets recouped by the label before any Artist royalties are paid out to them. Timbaland can charge up $250,000 to $500,000 per Masters. So if have Co-Producer's that worked on a song, they both split the advances and both would receive thier "points" of Artist royalties after recoupment. Timbo and Scott can ask as much as 4% to 5% of Artist record sales. They also get thier back end publishing royalties for making the beat as Co-Writers.
*Producer=Director*
*Songwriter=Beat Maker/Lyricist*
Was never fan of Storch. But come on now! You Barrow a riff from Grant Green s "Maybe Tomorrow". And maybe I am about principals. But it went comes to interpolation or sampling. don't just say, I came up with the riff. Cause particularly in hip hop! someone always seem to barrow a riff from someone else
*Gifted Creative Genius* *He's Made A lot of Hit Beats* *He's BACK*
Dr.Dre didn't take any credit for anything he didn't do. Songwriting and Producing are too separate things, but in today's time. It's hard to tear them apart. I look at it as this. Songwriting is the notes that were created and production is the instrument that produces that sound that the notes play. So if Scott came up with the piano riff/melody and chord progression, and choose the instrument to play so. He's the songwriter and co-producer of Still Dre. Jay Z would be the lyricist of Still Dre. Dre and Mel Man coming up with drums and coaching the artist record vocals. Is co-production too. And maybe some keyboard parts here and there.
Righteous!
one of the greatest hip hop beats ever
Song was played in the Superbowl halftime show 2/13/22 Definitely A Classic... 🎛️🎚️🎤
I think he got a little choked up starting at :55 must’ve really made an impact meeting Dre
I'm glad he's making a comeback
First time I saw this man, and I have mad respect for him regardless of what he says. Literally one of the greatest rap songs ever released
Scottie playing that RIFF for “Still DrE” till the ARTHRITIS swole the knuckles !
Perhaps the most iconic beat ever made
I could tell Em wrote forgot about dre lyrics, but had no idea Jay wrote these lyrics, but after listening to it again its crazy obvious its jayz bars.
Talented man. Respect.
SHOUT OUT TO THA EAST COAST. SHOUT OUT TO SCOTT STORCH.
SHOUT OUT TO JAY-Z.
STILL D.R.E. IS A MASTERPIECE.
WHY NOT A SHOUT OUT TO SNOOP & DRE TOO?
Never ever never heard of this guy till 2018
Love this story
Legend
Amazing interview
Who listened to still dre after watching this
Lol, what?? For what? We all already heard it thousands of times.
@@jons5658 because it still slaps?
@Big Ounce and that's Jay-Z
..and then came back to this video, found your comment again and liked it?
@@jons5658 tf
Straight up legend
Dre and Storch worked on that beat together... Dre mixed, polished and finalized the way it was all perfected in the end. Y'all act like Dre didn't even touch the track n just put his name on it. Dre and Storch were a good team.
Damn, you were in the studio with them? Crazy
roy ramos same shit I said ..sounds like he’s upset because the white man came up with the damn song
@@elchapo9347 how bout ya tell me ya was at the studio stupid smh
@@23royalace you wasn't there either so wtf u mean
@@prisymat6004 bro, I'm not talking like I was fool. Upset cause I called you on your b.s.
What an awesome story.
Thank you
Amazing 👌👌👌👌
He's the real guy behind the hit, it was the keys that made people go nuts. Not the rap verses or anything else
Not true. The song as a whole is a masterpiece stop downplaying people’s achievement.
@@gaidenboxer9012
BS
Take the beat out , replace it with something else and nobody's gonna listen to it
Super producer Scott Storch love from Zimbabwe
Wish l could work with him in gold mining
Come now, surely you could find another brother to work with? Gold mining? you cant be serious?
Big egos is not on the chronic but on 2001
Probs to this guy, big impact
he and pharrell are my two fav producers in life.
Dr. Dre, Timbaland?
Some life... you must be a 2000s baby
@@outlawboy88 As an artist everyone has their favs. Those are mine. I dont have amny favs from modern times. Im very much into Composing,
@@kareemsupremet.v.5189 Songs touch people in many different ways. It is what it is. Not a 2000s baby but I am who I am.
They are also *Songwriter's* too not just a Producer. Scott Storch, Rodney Jenkins, Bryan-Michael Cox, Timbaland, J.R Rotem, Tricky Stewart and Pharrell Williams are what you call *Songwriter/Producer's* as they are *Traditional Record Producer's* that *Co-Writes* the music. They are basically wearing two hats as a *Writer* that makes beats and a *Producer* that directs and oversees the production and recording of the finished record like the Quincy Jones. That's why they all get both Writing and Production credits. A *Songwriter* can write *(Lyrics)* or *(Music).* Dre Co-Writes the music with a group of musicians or himself and hires another Co-Writer to Top-line the beat.
*Producer=Director*
*Songwriter=Beat Maker/Lyricist*
Legend💯🥃
Absolute legend
King!
what a legend. don reign up next
Just an FYI:
I just took a 12 inch solid log shit. It is ice berging
Candle Ankle that was 3 days ago, is it still there? Put a birthday candle in it before you break it up with a wire coat hanger... take pics, I’m interested 👍
You good fam
I think the shit killed him
Lenny CS:GO I hope they let the world know what he achieved, it’s up there with the moon landing
its me why the hate? He’s just sharing
Greatest to ever do it 👑🎹🎶 #pianoman
It's a freaking sample! Woop-de-doo
How come this is not well known?
A legend bruh
I’ve always suspected Jay Z wrote much of the Chronic 2001. The Message from 2001 always reminded me of You Must Love Me from In My Lifetime Vol 1.
The message was written by Royce da 5 9
this guys never moves out that legendary glasses
How many videos on this topic are there on RUclips?
Dope Talk 😎😎😎😎
THE REST IS HISTORY
Legendary moments
I am Glad That i talked with him on Instagram he gave me the Best advice about the beat and Motivated me This guys is Just Legend ❤❤❤❤
Did you also know that the whole song Still D.R.E all the lyrics was written by Jay Z? Including Snoop Dogg lyrics
We give Dre his props and that's where it stops Its The roc,... Watcher remix
he wrote that snoop dog part too
@D jango "We"
@D jango wtf hahahahahahahaha😅😂😂😂😂
bacc in the days there was ALOT ghostwriters and none gived fuck about it, and now every mf convey about that.
Underrated
I read the d.o.c also wrote a version for the song
I cried twice
LEGEND
Wait what?! Jay z helped write it? Never knew that just looked it up on Spotify and yep. Also snoop only listed as a performer so presumably Jay wrote his lines? That's a trip writing in that west coast voice. Respect!
Jay wrote the verses and the hook.
His fingers and Grant Green's Fingers too ! it's a sample
Where’s the rest of the interview ?

Piano man 😤 😤 😤 😤 !
Scott is king
When I hear Still Dre ; I think of Storch because he MADE that beat.
Yeah he made the key pattern, but Dre is the one who pinpointed what he wanted on it. And he’s equally as crucial for the existence of this masterpiece. Flowers to Scott, but don’t discredit Dre… He made it all happen
Throwing shit at a wall made you guys millions , makes the hair on my arms stand up !
Luv from Canada 🇨🇦
The best hiring who the best treetop west coast of MCS and one top East coast producer created magic
Keyboard genius!!!
Its rare to see him without his glasses
This guy is the real talent
I heard you play them keys real good.
How come Mel-Man is credited as a coproducer for Still Dre and Camara Kambone is credited as keyabords player?
Songwriters: Scott Storch / Sean Carter / Melvin Bradford / Andre Young
Still Dre Lyrics
my boy
He the type of dude to wear a nickelson jacket in the summer with exactly those sunglasses.
Does he still produce today?
Always wondered where Dr. Dre's beats came from and thought he must have professional musicians come up with ideas.
Goat🎉🔥💪
Still Dre is one of the greatest beats of all-time
The song “Big Ego’s” was on 2001 Not The Chronic.
🖤🎹
Had to hit the like button it was at 999 lol
duuuuuude it always surprises me to learn of the hidden talents that are actually the greatest.
Quite a romantic story
You could argue he changed Dre’s live too because that’s probably his biggest song
Dope😎
Scott Storch colaborate please with Daddy Yankee! AGAIN 🔥
I swear he took a sample from Lauren Hills “that thing”. On “that thing” the keys 🎹 was not the main focus of the track but on “still Dre” Scott made it the focus of the track. I don’t know I’m tripping lol. 😂
I always thought the same thing. The piano sounds very similar on both songs.
The interviewer needs to stop throwing his hands up like that as a reaction.
It's a hip-hop saying you egg. "Throw ya hands up". That's why he's doing it. It's subtle but I know because I've been in the game since before Storch.
Lyndon Allen Oh shit is this Hov’s youtube account. I know what that is fucko, but it’s an intimate conversation, and he looks like a jackass doing that. They want to intellectualize hip hop.
Wow
