Scott Storch Explains How He Tried And Failed To Save DMX's Life

Scott Storch sat down with the Joe Rogan Experience and detailed his experience with the late DMX.

According to the super producer, he and X got along too well and even lived together for some time. [Jump to ten minutes.]

“It was like the blind leading the blind. I’m a coke addict and he’s a crack addict, and I’m trying to help him. I’m like, ‘[Snorts coke] you really need to get clean, man.’ What the f*ck is real? I’m like, ‘Yo, you need to go to rehab,'" Storch remembered. “So I convince him to avoid a jail sentencing for a charge he had or whatever. He went to rehab and was getting his sh*t together at a place where I had gone, but it didn’t really work for me. I had him there, I really did care about him, I wanted him off that sh*t. That was a faster suicide than I was even on.”

Shortly before X's death, Storch got him on a plane and sent him to rehab.  Although he completed the rehab, he didn't follow through with Storch's plan to follow that up with more impatient rehab at Storch's local facility.

“He never made it back on the plane to head back, and we never saw him again. That was me trying to save a man’s life that I really loved. He was such a special guy," Storch remembered.
