Scott Storch, the producer responsible for some of the most iconic hits in hip hop history, is speaking out in a major way and making it clear that Ye has crossed a line that cannot be undone.
So, basically, is Storch saying it’s on sight when he sees Yeezy?
For those unfamiliar with his legacy, Scott Storch is not just a name in the credits. He started as a keyboardist for the Roots before producing classic records like Dr. Dre’s “Still DRE.” His signature touch helped drive chart topping singles like Beyoncé’s “Baby Boy,” 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop,” and Mario’s “Let Me Love You.” Storch has earned four Grammy nominations and worked with the biggest names across generations.
The longtime hitmaker recently revealed how deeply hurt he felt after West’s public antisemitic statements and bizarre admiration for Adolf Hitler. What was once a respected creative bond between two artists has completely unraveled.
Storch did not hold back when addressing how Ye’s rhetoric hit close to home. “He turned out to be a piece of s**t,” he said, visibly shaken by the experience. “I thought I was his friend, but I guess I can’t be because I’m Jewish.” His words reflect a deep betrayal, not just as a colleague in music but as someone who believed they shared a real connection. The legendary producer added, “If I saw him, I’d probably crack him in his face,” expressing how Ye’s behavior disrespected not only him but the entire Jewish community.
Now, Storch says he has no interest in standing beside anyone who spreads hate. His allegiance, he makes clear, will always be with his community and not with someone who turned their back on decency. While the fallout is painful, Storch’s response reminds the world that silence is not an option when it comes to hate.
