How Scott Storch made 50 Cent's 'Candy Shop' I Sneak Peek

[@Jamusictv]

Scott for me is one of the top 3 GOATs. I don’t think people realize bro had hit after hit for a whileeeee in the 2000s. He was everywhereeeee.

[@sadetwizelve]

Top 3,stop smoking crack...Dr.Dre,DJ Premier,Timbaland,Neptunes,Just Blaze,Swizz Beats,Daz...Scott Storch was corny as fuck. That's why his sound is outdated.

[@killekillekille1]

For SURE top 3, might even be number 1 shiii

[@mud5377]

It's Scott Storch and Mike Dean in the top 2 for me. I was always a big fan of certain producers, I just wish I'd have learned back then what production was cause I didn't learn it was accessible to me till like 2012 and you KNOW it was there way before that, too! I just had no idea what I was looking at, I remember in the early 00's I saw a laptop with fruity loops on it and I just assumed it was a drum machine. Imagine my surprise when I learned you can make entire compositions on programs like that :P

[@kazamaclan447]

Yeah bro his melodies ruled the early 2000s and late 90s

[@johnisouth6636]

Yep same here. One thing about Scott is he grew up listening to Metallica and other metal and rock. That gives you a hand up writing beats for hip hop.

[@ayoonine]

I love seeing scott storch replay his melodies. Shit is insane. Scott's versatility and his ear is unmatched

[@ultimateterrorgaming8440]

But he didnt replay on this one just talked n did some strings, ive seen way better then is.

[@powertrip6426]

Some people might say Fat Joe fucked up by passing on the track. But the thing is, if Joe wasn't feeling it, it wasn't gonna come out good. If you're a writer you know when a beat hits you it hits you, and sometimes it doesn't. We should be thanking Joe for having the humility to pass and then 50 came in and now it's iconic.

[@jesussinaloa9300]

Funny how 50 dissed fat Joe when Joe helped make the beat lol

[@DizzyMakavelli]

Exactly. A hot beat don’t automatically translate in a hot song. You can put any Rapper on In Da Club beat and none of them gonna come out as good as 50 cent did.

[@-Hann]

@@DizzyMakavellitrue, D12 had the In Da Club beat and passed it on thankfully for 50.. Big Pun originally had the Black Rob Whoa beat and passed it on

[@thebrilliantmrpedro]

Doesn't Lean Back sound a bit like Candy Shop?

[@discordye4825]

Candy shop and lean back are almost identical...

[@Randomfluctuation]

Legend. I've never seen anyone playing the piano the way he does, he has a unique style

[@labatika]

Oriental music scale

[@IIJAMZYII]

Yeah he normally has a joint in his mouth 😂

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

​@@labatikaHe is playing in the Phrygian scale, it has a more Arabic/ME flavour than Far Eastern. People like Storch and Timbaland were definitely leaning into these scales a lot in early 2000s, Phrygian, double harmonic major, Locrian (that flat 2 is a distinct part of the sound).

[@prodbydmaterialz]

​@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261phrygian & harmonic are my fav scales, gives ethnic & dark sound

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Lean Back is one of the greatest beats of all time. Of course Still Dre too. Honorable mention to Cry Me A River. Beyonce Me Myself and I. Storch wasnt just crazy unique on the keys but his drum programming. Lean Back had a groove I’ve never heard before

[@DirtyJamesUK]

That's what I felt about Candy shop. Crazy original beat.

[@Blessing_Prodz]

FACTZ

[@pawematachowski8036]

Cry me a river was produced by Timbaland. Edit Wow I didn’t know storch did the keys 😅😅

[@BadDad01]

His drum programming?.. He usually only creates the melodies, from the videos I've seen.

[@who_is_dis]

The grooves usually just support his melodies.

[@amerrashed6287]

The top-hit catchy beats are made by this guy .. his talented ability to mix Arabic melodies with RNB was awesome.

[@goofballbiscuits3647]

For those who don't know, this man made a lot of people's favorite beats of the time. Timbaland may have outsold but Scott Storch was a real taster's choice.

[@Aulart]

Definitely, he should be a household name!

[@supermatt-99]

well, beats wise timabaland was better, melodies wise scott storch is better

[@goofballbiscuits3647]

@matt "better" with opinions isn't an option. Do you tell people their favorite flavors too...? My point was Timbaland outsold and was more popular but, to people who make music, they saw Scott as the producer's producer. He brought a refinement to hip hop beats that changed the landscape forever.

[@supermatt-99]

Baby Boy (Beyonce & Sean Paul) still in my all-time playlist... has that Scott Storch oriental vibe written all over it. 🙌🔥🙌🔥

[@imnotasimp7440]

I'm from Jamaica and I've listened to a lot of dancehall music. Storch really nailed the dancehall sound with his unique style. Sean Paul rode the riddim perfectly. Overall classic.

[@vinegarpisser2992]

[@TheRealSandman]

Scott Storch is one of my favourite producers. I remember listening to songs when I was younger & always loved the instrumental, years & years later I found out that Scott Storch made them!

[@kevingachigua6584]

RESPECT! In MY opinion, Scott Storch is the BEST hiphop producer, period! This man influenced an entire decade (2000 to 2010) with 95% original beats! Respect to Dre & Diddy but those guys sampled the Hell out of 70s Funk. Scott has all original keys, all original. That's Genius level work right there! I mean this man did the keys for Still Dre...try and listen to that song WITHOUT the keys and it is totally dead...Scott's keys give it Life, and Dre took Most of the credit...Scott deserves waaaaaay more recognition! I stan this producer big time!

[@Aulart]

We agree!!

[@zthegreat4538]

Definitely one of them

[@michaelschwalbe3187]

[@sagcap7927]

One of dopest songwriter/producers of many eras of our time. His compositions are original and progressive. One of the best in the game to compose original music at its core. And that right there is how you keep the majority of your writing money and publishing money. 💰💰💰

[@natanunorthodox]

Precise Exotica...Scott Storch is hands down the best real time keyboard beat making hip hop producer.

[@faitdebeauxreve]

A musical genius. I went to Fordham University (in the Bronx) in the fall of 2004 and you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing Lean Back. His music is iconic. What a gifted man.

[@fives.]

The only reason this man put a legitimately concerning chunk of South America in his respiratory system is because he created the beat for *every single* banger of the mid 00's

[@spicysauce4739]

I remember going over to this house in the mid 80’s. His brother and I were in a band. First time I met Scott, he said “hey listen to melody I wrote on my keyboard.” Always creating on the keys…

[@jonwinder1861]

Whats crazy is when he first wrote this beat he already knew it was going to be a hit and warned another rapper he'd regret not doing the song, then fifty cent took it. God knows how much money 50 has Made off that one song alone. More than what most people make in their lifetimes

[@matttreece9036]

[@Targoon_Music]

well yes but no. if you watch metallica's documentary on making the black album you can see how much they're getting pushed to be perfect and eventually they made one of the most successful metal albums. you may get away with doing a song in less than an hour but sometimes you gotta put in the work and hours

[@simbeam]

They have decades of experience so it's not like it's so obvious but yeah

[@Juliano_DJOL]

@Jaylectrick I say yes and no depending on genre, artist, and type of song. A metal album like that the fans want perfection lol plus they are all playing and recording live instruments, prolly laying bed tracks with hella over dubs then a lot of time mixing and tweaking, but a hip hop song produced on a MIDI keyboard or in a DAW or even with loops (especially if u already have an idea) can be made much faster and sometimes too much or too many elements crowds the beat and messes up the beat or song! IMO
