Scott Storch has hit out at The Roots, claiming the group were “haters” after he began working with Dr. Dre.
Storch, who was a member of the Philadelphia rap group between 1993 and 1995 and made contributions to several albums afterwards, discussed his history with Questlove and co with controversial podcaster Patrick Bet-David.
The producer explained: “I started in The Roots and did a lot of the stuff for them, very underappreciated. I was the guy who, again, came up with a lot of the nucleus of what that shyt was. And I left the group and was told that I was, like, the Pete Best of The Roots. You know, Pete Best is the guy that quit The Beatles.”
Storch continued: “Even my girlfriend broke up with me and said, ‘Oh, you fukked up’ and this and that. I was like, ‘No, I didn’t. I see bigger.’ I’m not gonna go on the road with a bunch of guys that don’t appreciate me and be like, ‘That’s the white guy who plays keys in The Roots.’ I’m the fukking guy coming up with all the shyt.”
He went on to say: “In fact, they called me the white devil.”
Storch also accused the group of being “all haters” after he began working with Dre on his 2001 album.
The Roots are yet to respond to Storch’s comments.
