    This is the dude who convinced Johnny Cash to sing Hurt

    Legendary. Rick Rubin's ability to articulate the creative process and understand how different artists work differently is undoubtedly one of the super skills he's mastered
  • @Trav81888
    Fairly amazing how Rick describes how Jay puts a verse together. Absolutely brilliant.

    What made Rick Rubin so special was his ability to portray the artist at their best, without ever acknowleging his own part. He was so behind the artist with his work and not himself, that you never knew he was the initial creator of some of your favorite songs. If you read the list of albums he has delivered on, its mind blowing. Classic album after classic album. His greatness is that most people have no idea who he is. Thats what a great music producer is.

    lowkey one of Joe's biggest interviews. Rick is so humble and behind the scenes you'd never know. this dude's produced music for THE BEST talent, period.

    Rick Rubin operates at a super high vibration. He has brought out the best in so many artists. Genius.

    Jay's 'writing' method is absolutely wild, heard folks talk about before and still absolutely blows my mind every time 🤯
  • @joshg7942
    As a big Chili Peppers fan, it makes a lot of sense hearing about Anthony's writing process. Each phrase always sounds like a separate thought than the previous. I would think to myself there's no way he writes each verse in chronological order because they're all so sporadic and seem to have nothing to do with the previous one. It makes much more sense hearing that he'll re-arrange phrases for where they sit best in the song.
  • Rick is one of those guys you could listen to all day long. The genius in his creative process and then just hanging out with a plethora of creative genuises.
  • Fantastic interview. Rick Rubin has a podcast called broken record which is really good. Totally worth a listen.
  • @futureghost77
    What Rick Rubin did for music is so underrated. He is the architect of a generation.
  • It really is a shame that recording studio sessions aren't filmed a lot more. I'd love to see the process of entire songs and albums being made. Like, imagine if there was footage of the full recording sessions for The Marshall Mathers LP or GKMC. It's an important part of music history that just isn't being preserved.
  • As soon as Rick mentioned that writing music is like a dream that comes from the subconscious, it must have took everything in Joe's power to not mention DMT.

    Congrats Joe you got a true music legend on the show
  • Rick Rubin is a living legend. I’m an audio engineer that has been lucky enough to work with some charting artists and he described the process perfectly of how some artists will hum or try to shape the melody/flow/feel and then flesh it out. I think of it almost like having a puzzle where the edges/border is done and then you start placing the more intricate pieces to finish it.

    This man has help shape so much of the soundtrack of my life. Truly a legend.
  • @ahmet5583
    I love how he describes those process with such precision. It shows how attentive and a great artist he is too.
  • Rick Rubin also saved RHCP and played a fundamental role in their success… This man is a musical genius… ✊❤️
