Just a few years ago, Scott Storch was one of the top producers in pop music, living in a $10.5 million mansion on an exclusive Miami island, driving a phalanx of luxury cars and dating the likes of Paris Hilton and Lil Kim.

Nowadays, Scott Storch, 34, is missing in action. He owes over $500,000 in real estate taxes and had a warrant out for his arrest when he failed to show up in court in a child-support case last month. He has not had a top 10 hit in three years. He still has his waterfront marble mansion, but his lawyer, Guy Spiegelman, says Storch is attempting to refinance it after a “catastrophic occurrence this year” resulting from “mismanagement.” Storch no longer works with his old manager or publicist. He hasn’t talked to either of his children in months.

I think its a case of a person not growing up with money and then not knowing how to act when it started pouring in. Maybe he can start making hits again and become more wise and humble.

Yea I just made a post about album sales, but I still got to give the people what they want.

why the fuck are fans so concerned with album sales? That shit dont make sense to me, maybe im just from another era.

I hear you man, back in the days I don’t recall worrying how much Biggie & Tupac sold in thier first week. But these days people are eager to hear those first week numbers like they the label or getting a percentage off of every album sold. Some people don’t even check if an album has quality music and judge it based on sales.

So I ask, why are you concerned with how many albums an artist sells?

He wants me to do the whole thing this time around,” Timbaland said Monday during a visit to the MTV News office. “I’mma make it a classic too. You better believe it. It’ll be a monster! I always say this: You get a first single from me, I’mma get you up to gold. And it’s hard to get you up to gold in this day [and age].”

Not sure if Timbaland should be doing the entire album, different producers add variety to an album.

Hmm I noticed Rosci is mysteriously missing in action after the beef she had with Terrence(Link). I don’t really watch 106, but do people want the hosts replaced?

towards the end of the video, banks says selling a lot of units was not the goal of this album… can any artist ever really mean that?

btw, if RealTalkNY “hated” the unit, we wouldn’t be posting their stuff.  We state facts and show no bias… take it easy on your keyboards, there is other methods of anger management lol
