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
Rick Rubin literally sits in a room and does nothing. He doesn't know how to mix, doesn't know how to master. Can't play instruments. He's literally useless.
@@Stix_Zidinia you've never dealt with producers i bet 😆 if you think he's useless you gotta see him in a different light. He is like a guarantee that the artist/band will create something and deliver to the labels so they don't think they're losing money on the album. Producers meddle/ influence the songs/ albums but he gives them more freedom unlike other producers without sacrificing artistic integrity at the same time. That's his style, he lets you do you, he guides you he doesn't directs you towards a finished song/album. He's there to keep you flowing and not get blocked from creating... he's encouraging you to create and not stop if he's there. That's what I've seen from him and the videos ive seen, that slipknot opinion of him was funny but i get where Rick comes from. I've seen a producer record before, some mess with the vision or change the sound for better or worse.
@@Stix_Zidinia He came up with the riff for "99 Problems" and just gave it to Jay-Z. This is just the one thing I knew about him before watching this video. I'm not 100% sure why you're disparaging him, but I think I have a feeling I might know the reason
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.

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.
Yeah, one thing that he forgot to add is that he’s constantly creating concepts in his mind throughout the day and when he hears a beat he pieces together the concepts and fills in the blanks. So it doesn’t just come completely out of the blue. It’s still genius though when you consider how complex so many of his verses are. Some of his rhyme schemes, wordplay and double/triple entendres are outrageous. To do that without writing anything down is otherworldly. Apparently he used to write but he was spending so much time in the streets hustling that he never had time to write so he started doing it in his head.
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Except for the fact the Ice-T wrote 99 problems and Jay-Z took it and published it. No credit was given. Jay-Z is the most over hyped fool I’ve ever seen. Has it in his head because he stole it. I have no idea why he shot to fame when biggie died
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.
I’m a longtime Chillis fan and for me the last two albums suck largely due to AKs repetitive melodies and lack of singing ability. How anyone can call My Cigarette creative truly baffles me. 😅
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.
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.
When you realize that most of your fav. albums, no matter which genre, were produced by Rick Rubin... What he did with Johnny Cash and his "American Recordings" series is beyond epic.
Lol. No can do that. Jay-Z writes a bunch in private. He doesn't know much outside his own music, so he has plenty of memory space. He then sells it to rubes like Rick Rubin as though he is coming up with it on the spot. The rube then mythologises the guy on shows like JRE.
@@kazman_6899 - He doesn't know much outside his music? Nevermind his billion dollar business empire.. I'm not even the biggest Jay fan - but damn, ya'll some haters 🤣
@@grimmbilly9263 yeah . Without Rick their trajectory would be totally different. Under the Bridge wouldnt Have been written and that’s the song that blew them up to mainstream levels of success
Every time I open up the JRE and it's some genius or legend or damn interesting person like this, my heart skips a beat. I know we're getting 2/3 hours of pure conversation. Beyond anything else television or mainstream producers could possibly give us, and worth every penny for Spotify.
I couldn't handle the fact that Joe decided to talk about comedy in the first 50 minutes of the podcast. It was so incredibly frustrating. You have Rick Rubin on and you bring up comedy.
@@rastavillain9185 the actual mixing is really not that hard to learn, it’s a craft. What rubin has is the ability to formulate the tone and soundscape of an album based on what the artist is trying to go for. This is way harder to cultivate and in extension way harder to find as a service that can be offered by a producer. Anyone can learn their way around sound boards especially these days, given the technology. What Rubin brings to the table though, very few can offer to the level he can, that too across genres.
@@T.Maximus that was because he had that as filler during the demo tapes before he had lyrics wirtten and i think flea's daughter liked the gibberish so they kept it
@@dominictrupiano anyone who like System of a Down has horrible taste in music Point Blank That's it that was what I was trying to say and it's a fact they suck man
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.
I feel that the documentary style filming of albums or other events has to be recognized early on by the artist to be done successfully. Albums like GKMC and Marshall Mathers EP are genius, but those are the first albums from two GOATS, how were they supposed to know how it would be received by the people? Albums like Jay-Z's The Black Album is different because he "knew" that'd be his "last" album, so he recorded the process.
Did you see the Rick Rubin documentary a couple years back? A lot of behind the scenes recording showing the process as well as the fires that hit the area.
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.
Joe rogan comment sections are just a long series of people going for the low hanging fruit. So annoying, every fucking video.... so many interesting conversations then you go to the comment section and find a BUNCH of idiots
Its just so incredible that today people kinda let Jay's wealth overshadow his rap career, when he is an absolute genius behind performing and writing. It's actually crazy how talented he was/is and how much he achieved all around.
Rick Rubin and Russell started the first rap label. This dudes a living legend. Jay said it himself. “Y’all record I RECALL cuz I really been their before”. Em is a samurai who’s constantly sharpening his sword so he can decapitate you when he needs to.
@@crackheadbiden7269 Dont forget a lil metal band called Slayer, which is even more nuts that one of the biggest hip hop labels of all time had and produced one of the big 4 of metal and some of the more respected metal albums of all time.
@@daporkoil1 I thought he was around during the early Run DMC and Def Jam days? That's why I thought he was a architect. I'm not trying to spread false info.
@@daporkoil1 you don't know anything. Rick rubin founded def jam records in his dorm room at new York university. He and the beastie boys use to throw wild parties in the dorm. The first act Rick signed to his label was tla rock and jazzy Jay "it's yours", then he got the beastie boys to join, and then ll cool j. Rick was the man behind the scene with Russell Simmons and they produced those classic ll cool j, beastie boys, and public enemy albums. So yes, Rick rubin was a pioneer of 80s hip hop.
Jay Z and Lil Wayne are the most impressive *major* recording rap artists in the modern hiphop history. Wayne specifically fascinates me because on the cover he comes off as an airhead, frankly speaking. But then you learn about his recording style and realize that one of his simple, borderline stupid lines in a song, is not only a triple entendre but also a call back to multiple previous lines. As someone that personally absolutely sucks at poetry, I have an immense amount of respect for people who can use their words like that.
I don't know why everyone is so astonished at people's creative process I could come up with a rhyme just completely off the top of my head here we go here we go there was an old lady from Kalamazoo she could never fit into a shoe oh yeah this is easy I don't see what the big deal is
@@arlen9190 now do it for 26 years with 13+ albums almost each debuting #1 with avg 15 tracks/album & your coming up with stuff on top of your head that is better than 95% of the guest on the same track but they're writing & taking more time (and they're considered legends as well) 💀💀💀 there's LEVELS TO THIS no wonder u don't get it
As someone who goes through a similar process in mathematics-related problem solving... There seems to be a lot more at play under the conscious level that people like Jay Z and Anthony Kiedis are tapping in to. A wholesome description is lacking, but my best way of phrasing it is that when faced with a complex problem or sense of expression the creative or computational genius (in the old Latin meaning) comes to the forefront and presents itself. While we can maybe think of five to seven solutions at the conscious level there seems to be an order of magnitude more solutions/expressions that are boiling underneath the surface and few are lucky enough to have those come to the forefront and reach the conscious.
Jay-Z used to go from NY to NJ on the train, and he would have things to write his lyrics on during the train ride. He started to have so much to write that he ran out of things to write on, so he would just practice remembering sentences at a time, to the point where he scrapped writing it down and would just remember everything. That was the start of his process.
@@JS-hn5ld no the blueprint was more about showing how his rap career and business mogul side had met at the top and for anyone trying to take his place on the top he had already laid out the theoretical “blueprint” for up and comers through his music and way of life. “The blueprint” was his way of saying study what I did and you’ll unequivocally understand how I got here and how you could do it to.
Jay-Z is Not from this planet! How! Is it possible to make some of THE most iconic Lyrics on the fly?!?! That's astonishing! What an awesome interview! Rick Rubin is THE GOAT!
he's definitely the master of minimal yet game-changing input. for example the soundtrack he put together for Less Than Zero, something no one else would be daring to do back in 1987. combining Roy Orbison, Public Enemy, Slayer and The Bangles is the ultimate definition of eclecticism and while still being a bit messy, it already shows what he'll be up to in the future
@@o2kcrPac isn’t a top 10 rapper. Maybe he’s the most overrated ever. He couldn’t touch Biggie, Nas, Kendrick, Andre 3000, Earl, and plenty more. I’ll never understand the Pac love.
What a great conversation! I love hearing Rick talk, he has a warm soothing voice- great conversationalist- his perspective on things is very fascinating JR hit this out of the park! Looking forward to hearing these two chat again! 🙌🙌
Everyone's definition of deep is different because of their perspective of the word. Lupe "deep" is his message. Eminem's "deep" is the 2-3 meanings within the couple of sentences he puts down. Both amazing writers, but when it comes down to it, Lupe doesn't hold a candle to Eminem. He even said that himself. 🫡
@@Godzgeneral07 gtfoh show me where Lupe said that. I already know who I'm talking to so I won't debate you on hip hop you probably only listen to Eminem. Eminem isn't top 5, top 10 yes but I get at least 5-6 ppl ranked ahead of the white boy from Detroit. Eminem ain't better than any of the goats that's Jay Nas Big & Pac. Don't even mention his name with any I just named. I won't even reply to Hov & Nas hate. Show me you're a casual when it comes to my culture.
Also Jay Z explained how he came to be able to do that. He would have rhymes in his head back from his time spent dealing and he wouldn’t have anything to write his rhymes down on so he just started to memorize them and that led to him just making up things entirely in his head.
I think JayZ spent more years Not Dealing than dealing. Almost to the point of why even bring it up anymore? 30/40 yrs ago let it go. His writing process is much more interesting topic, lol 🤷♂️😅
@@horatioh2020 ? That’s not even my opinion or me bringing up a whatever. That’s actually Jay’s own explanation. He’s not ashamed of his past. No one else should be either. So there’s not really a problem bringing it up.
This the testimony to the magic of song writers/musicians. I come from a very musically intuitive family...and sadly it skipped a generation with me. So I totally admire and appreciate the mental geometry of these artists. Rick's talent is just as mystical....and he seems to handle tapestry very well.....soft spoken....sincere...and gracious. Music is a language that is universal and a bit humbling......a big THANKS to all these special beings. Love the channel.
I always was waiting for Kiedis to be on the show, not because I am a super big fan or particularly interested in what he has to say, just because Joe Rogan and Anthony Kiedis in one room would be the ultimate meetup of "California Dudes".
I know where he is from. Doesn't change that all his mannerisms, his way of talking, his personality and so on are cliché old school Californian. He is like a Red Hot Chili Pepper song turned flesh, which is why I would like to hear him talk to Kiedis. The only thing missing is that he doesn't surf.
Little known fact that Kiedis is actually was actually born in Seoul to North Korean defectors. They were hunted down by the state and gave Kiedis up for adoption before they disappeared without a trace. This backstory was the inspiration for the song ‘Hump de Bump’
I've always struggled to explain the idea that sometimes I don't know what a song I write is about, or what it's really about, until much after it's finished. Hearing him describe it like a "dream" in that way finally clicked in my head what the feeling is. Perfect explanation that was amazing haha
I doubt he does any mixing or mastering either. He's just a guru guiding these bands and musicians. He probably knowa what to do to get the best out of them.
A living legend here. Rubin is responsible for so many of our favorite songs an artists and most don't even know his name. It'll be a sad day the day this one goes.
Nas has a song (I think it's "Book of Rhymes" from God's Son) where the narrative of the song is him going through notebooks of rap verses or parts of rap verses that he never used in albums and rapping them in the song. It's a cool track.
came here from the SYOD clip, i wont listen to people talk about music but when i hear rick rubin talk about music i listen, no one has been around the diverse amount of talent as rick rubin
It’s only one Rick Rubin…….. Man is a absolute legend. Also fun fact. Jay Z process came from when he was on the block selling work. He would do the songs in his head. Legendary.
Every creative person's writing process is different but the Keidas type of piecing together the puzzle with high points is probably the most common for screenwriters, novelists, songwriters, etc.
This man is one of the most important personalities in music. I don't think anybody else has been involved in the making of the biggest musical acts of 3 different genres
When I am writing, I use the 'none sense words' method, to get started. The hardest part is finding a group of people to work with, who I feel comfortable around, during that creative process. After the song is already written, it's easy to show it to anyone. It's that awkward, creative, beginning, that has vulnerability, that is difficult to share. When you find people who can not only respect that early process, but also, are able to contribute to it, then you have found your band!
Rick is one of a kind. He is the man for a whole generation. EVERYONE one of us. Amazing. The BIGGEST music stars. Plain and simple he is the music god
A lot of people don’t know that Rick has been there from the beginning. He’s one of the foundational blocks of the rap genre. And he doesn’t care for you to know either lol. Legend.
@@nicolaemadalinboboc6704 metallica was over 14 yrs and that album sounds like shit from a production standpoint just like his work on the sabbath album 13. Its funny people praise this guy and then musicians who have worked with him dont exactly have praise for him in regards how he does things
@@knightfall9394 I mean, he did a great job with Slayer. Reign in Blood has a very unique production for its style of music and one might argue that Slayer would have not gotten as popular as they are without that album sounding like it does. so old Rick Rubin might be clueless when it comes to how metal albums should sound, but he definitely knew what he was doing in the 80s. also Metallica fucked the production of an album before (Justice) despite them having a great sound on their previous records, so I would not be surprised if the band also had an involvment in Death Magnetic sounding as bad as it did. there could also be the case of Rick Rubin being the kind of producer that likes to experiment, which would explain the originality and success of the production on some records (Reign in Blood) , and failure on others (Death Magnetic), compared to a producer that has a more safe approach
Irony is RHCP could survive replacing any other member. Anthony's lyrics fit perfectly with the vibe even if all he's saying is ding dang dong. He's also pitchy live, but sounds phenomenal in the studio cuts. It's funk /rock band...
That whole generation of mid to late 90s east coast hip hop is still the only rap I consistently listen to to this day. I'm 39. That era of hip hop will never return again.
non-musicians perception that he does nothing makes him even more elusive. This guy is the real deal. Just the way he thinks and articulates the musical ideas, shows how much he really knows about putting together a good record. Bravo
I really like this interview. What Rick describes here about putting a song/lyrics together like a puzzle, and not necessarily knowing what it means until the song is done - or even until years after (because it comes from the subconscious) is exactly how I've been writing my poetry over the years. I also take a similar approach to my songwriting (hobbyist producer). I would just get an inspiration, put pen to paper and let it flow - sometimes a piece of me would interject and say "no, you need to have that word here, it needs to be *this* way" even if the word was something that didn't really make sense at the time. I would often have some idea of its meaning to me once it was finished, but now even years after I go through some of them and find that they relate to my life, Self or understanding in an overarching way that I never would have been able to piece together at the time I wrote them. It's cool to hear the process wasn't unique and is something that other, even world-famous, artists use in constructing things the way they do.
@@jaredmello I like some of what Jordan Peterson says, and though I can agree that the quote you shared certainly applies much of the time I wouldn't say all of the time - at least not insomuch as where the two intersect in favor of.... Wow, you know I suppose it is true - though not necessarily with negative connotations. Any art created with an intended outcome *is* propaganda, even if it is propaganda by the artists with a purpose to create a positive reaction - it is still propaganda. No escaping that one without mincing words I think. Thanks for the (shared) insight.
@@jaredmello 🍻 Love your username btw. Radical responsibility, radical self-respect and unconditional self-love are the stuff dreams are made of. Truly. Salud!
It was hella dope that Joe was giving big praises to Kool G Rap. One of the lesser known legends of rap. Those of us in the hip hop world know about him.
The way he describes how Anthony writes is exactly how I thought he must write after having first listened to his lyrics back in the day. Good to see it confirmed.
All rappers lyricist vocalists have phrases and pieces that are always on deck to pull out for songs. Eminem had an immense amount of material to just pull out when needed for situations like this. Off top yes but much to choose from in his head already.
I relate to this so much. My creative process is entirely in my head, I hardly write anything down. The world needs more of this, we all have our own way of creating, and it is okay that it is different from one another. Every teacher in the world could use this lesson. I hope Rick Rubin knows who Harry Mack is, because Harry is the KING of writing in his head, except he does it completely on the fly. This has been one of my favorite Rogan podcasts in a long time.
I thought of Harry mack, too! Hope he meets Rick rubin, also a podcast with Joe rogan. Saw an interview of him with Lewis Howes, it was so inspirational.
@@naniediaries3047 Harry is the best at this, it would be incredible to have him on the podcast, and also agree, I would love to see what a meeting with Dave and Harry would bring about. I'll have to check out that interview you mentioned, I have not seen that one.
@@erics246 Since you're a writer you'll probably can relate so much and get a lot take aways from this interview. ruclips.net/video/9wZ3y0Rnsp0/видео.html
Seeing this, i agree 100%, some things are said out of opinion, but the things rick rubin says are the way of nature, and yeah its magic when you hear a beat and start flowing with a rhythm or a rhythm with words attached along it feels great
Freestyling verses is probably one of the hardest things you can do in rap, so many artists brag about "yeah, son! That shit was off the dome" when he wrote that nonsense the previous night. However I don't understand how he can go off the dome, make sense so that you can't even tell he's freestyling these verses. They are so tight and structured and he doesn't really waste any words. The flow is impeccable. Someone needs to invite Jay-Z and explain his thought process. Its an amazing gift.
I'm pretty sure Jay Z thinks of lyrics and bars in his spare time. But to incorporate pieces of them into a verse for a certain song and to create that verse and flow on the spot is truly AMAZING! 🔥
I would doubt that he create these verses ahead of time because his 16 bars are like a complete, deep conversation with many levels .. It’d be harder to piece together what he says
@@jamiepatterson4386 I'm talking about specific bars, punchlines. He might have an Obama or Frank Lucus bar that he thought of months ago... and uses it in a future verse.
1:14 for anyone wondering, this thinking is called an "open loop" of thinking (as opposed to a "closed loop") which means that your train of thought is allowed to be continuous, not having to be broken in the effort of remembering anything. you achieve this by getting in a good train of thought - preferably flow state - and then when you have those thoughts, you don't make a great effort to remember or write down everything. you essentially trust that those thoughts will stay in your brain instead of worrying about keeping them in your grasp, and this allows your mind to keep on the same train of thought, achieving kind of a flow state. the reason you're able to remember everything during and afterwards is because the human brain (even a pretty low-functioning one) is able to remember those thoughts really well if you just let it do it's thing, people just try REALLY really hard to remember things which ironically makes you forget them. also, you should know that trying this out may not work right away because it's kinda difficult to get the feel for it. look up more info on the open and closed loops and specifically in the mental sense.

Lol. No can do that. Jay-Z writes a bunch in private. He doesn't know much outside his own music, so he has plenty of memory space. He then sells it to rubes like Rick Rubin as though he is coming up with it on the spot. The rube then mythologises the guy on shows like JRE.
@@kazman_6899 - He doesn't know much outside his music? Nevermind his billion dollar business empire..

@@SuperMunkeh Where's the correlation between something being popular and something being of good quality? There's no relationship there.
@@kazman_6899- You think he accidentally fell into a billion dollar business empire, with no actual knowledge of anything outside of rap?
Rick Rubin also saved RHCP and played a fundamental role in their success… This man is a musical genius… ✊❤️
He didn’t necessarily “save” them cause Mother’s Milk was pretty awesome even with a shit producer. He did help them immensely though
@@roddydykes7053 agreed
They had success before Rick Rubin, but he definitely had a role in the evolution of their musical style.
@@grimmbilly9263 yeah . Without Rick their trajectory would be totally different. Under the Bridge wouldnt Have been written and that’s the song that blew them up to mainstream levels of success
Saved them more than once.
I love how he describes those process with such precision. It shows how attentive and a great artist he is too.
Every time I open up the JRE and it's some genius or legend or damn interesting person like this, my heart skips a beat. I know we're getting 2/3 hours of pure conversation. Beyond anything else television or mainstream producers could possibly give us, and worth every penny for Spotify.

Yeah, it’s truly amazing, it’s hard to comprehend how rich and abundant and expansive are those inteviews
I couldn't handle the fact that Joe decided to talk about comedy in the first 50 minutes of the podcast. It was so incredibly frustrating. You have Rick Rubin on and you bring up comedy.
@Late Notice No he still has good variety lol. He literally hasn’t had a hunter or military on in the past 20 episodes.

u know he don't even mix nothing lol
@@rastavillain9185 the actual mixing is really not that hard to learn, it’s a craft. What rubin has is the ability to formulate the tone and soundscape of an album based on what the artist is trying to go for. This is way harder to cultivate and in extension way harder to find as a service that can be offered by a producer. Anyone can learn their way around sound boards especially these days, given the technology. What Rubin brings to the table though, very few can offer to the level he can, that too across genres.

Wow thats a double negative.
So that means he does mix something.

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.
Much of it isn’t done in studio sessions lol
I feel that the documentary style filming of albums or other events has to be recognized early on by the artist to be done successfully. Albums like GKMC and Marshall Mathers EP are genius, but those are the first albums from two GOATS, how were they supposed to know how it would be received by the people? Albums like Jay-Z's The Black Album is different because he "knew" that'd be his "last" album, so he recorded the process.

Mr Rubin is a living legend. He's definitely one of the early Hiphop architects.
No he's not, stop it... he's an awesome producer, not a Hip Hop, Rock N Roll or Pop architect, he just produced for mostly all genres.
@@daporkoil1 I thought he was around during the early Run DMC and Def Jam days? That's why I thought he was a architect. I'm not trying to spread false info.
@@daporkoil1 you don't know anything. Rick rubin founded def jam records in his dorm room at new York university. He and the beastie boys use to throw wild parties in the dorm. The first act Rick signed to his label was tla rock and jazzy Jay "it's yours", then he got the beastie boys to join, and then ll cool j. Rick was the man behind the scene with Russell Simmons and they produced those classic ll cool j, beastie boys, and public enemy albums. So yes, Rick rubin was a pioneer of 80s hip hop.
Jay Z and Lil Wayne are the most impressive *major* recording rap artists in the modern hiphop history. Wayne specifically fascinates me because on the cover he comes off as an airhead, frankly speaking. But then you learn about his recording style and realize that one of his simple, borderline stupid lines in a song, is not only a triple entendre but also a call back to multiple previous lines. As someone that personally absolutely sucks at poetry, I have an immense amount of respect for people who can use their words like that.
What is the specific line being referenced?
Nas is right there as well. He’s very brilliant
Watch Harry Mack!
There's a reason Lil Wayne has the respect of every single hip hop GOAT

Brendan O'Brien is an absolute beast in my book. Stp and pearl jam.
As someone who goes through a similar process in mathematics-related problem solving... There seems to be a lot more at play under the conscious level that people like Jay Z and Anthony Kiedis are tapping in to. A wholesome description is lacking, but my best way of phrasing it is that when faced with a complex problem or sense of expression the creative or computational genius (in the old Latin meaning) comes to the forefront and presents itself. While we can maybe think of five to seven solutions at the conscious level there seems to be an order of magnitude more solutions/expressions that are boiling underneath the surface and few are lucky enough to have those come to the forefront and reach the conscious.
Ok
David Lynch describes this as catching the big fish. You gotta be able to go deep, much deeper than most people have the time or ability to go.
Jay-Z used to go from NY to NJ on the train, and he would have things to write his lyrics on during the train ride. He started to have so much to write that he ran out of things to write on, so he would just practice remembering sentences at a time, to the point where he scrapped writing it down and would just remember everything. That was the start of his process.
Yes. Jay-Z has lines already imprinted in his head. He pulls them out and makes songs with him. He's not making up lyrics on the spot
Is that where “blueprint” came from?
@@JS-hn5ld no the blueprint was more about showing how his rap career and business mogul side had met at the top and for anyone trying to take his place on the top he had already laid out the theoretical “blueprint” for up and comers through his music and way of life. “The blueprint” was his way of saying study what I did and you’ll unequivocally understand how I got here and how you could do it to.
LoL! Where in the world did you get that story? The only person who could tell that story is Jay-Z, since he was the one on your supposed train.
99 problems was Ice T’s song. Jay game him no credit and Rick Rubin is just a snake here.
Jay-Z is Not from this planet! How! Is it possible to make some of THE most iconic Lyrics on the fly?!?! That's astonishing! What an awesome interview! Rick Rubin is THE GOAT!
you should see him do it in real time in the fade to black documentary. rick was blown away
It’s insane the resume of people he has worked with. The best in every genre. Incredible how little credit he gets. Absolute legend.
Undercredited???? He's " Rick Rubin" . What credit do you feel he's not received , exactly ?
He has actually taken credit on numerous albums for things he shouldn't have been credited for
Yeah he’s not definitely not underrated or anything
i just found out who he was 10 min go
Everyone knows rick rubin if you're somewhat aware of producers. He's notorious.
The sheer amount of artists he's worked with. I was checking his list and checking it twice.
fuckin Santa Claus up in here
Did you decide whether he was naughty or nice?
Jo Po is coming to town
he's definitely the master of minimal yet game-changing input. for example the soundtrack he put together for Less Than Zero, something no one else would be daring to do back in 1987. combining Roy Orbison, Public Enemy, Slayer and The Bangles is the ultimate definition of eclecticism and while still being a bit messy, it already shows what he'll be up to in the future
It sounds like he gets imposed on stars, doesn't really do shit, and takes the credit tbh.
Rick rubin is what a producer should strive to be. Jay-z is so amazing with his lyrical talent. He is the best rapper of all time to me
2pac is tge best rapper. You kid
@@o2kcrrapper Jay got the edge but overall artist Pac if you know
@@o2kcrPac isn’t a top 10 rapper. Maybe he’s the most overrated ever. He couldn’t touch Biggie, Nas, Kendrick, Andre 3000, Earl, and plenty more. I’ll never understand the Pac love.
What a great conversation! I love hearing Rick talk, he has a warm soothing voice- great conversationalist- his perspective on things is very fascinating JR hit this out of the park! Looking forward to hearing these two chat again! 🙌🙌
Rick Rubin is a true legend! Everybody knows what he did and how he changed the music industry!
Eminem's rhymes have deep roots... I'm still figuring out puzzles from songs of his that have been out for over a decade...
His shit is not that deep lol
Deep no but great word play lupe is deep
Everyone's definition of deep is different because of their perspective of the word. Lupe "deep" is his message. Eminem's "deep" is the 2-3 meanings within the couple of sentences he puts down. Both amazing writers, but when it comes down to it, Lupe doesn't hold a candle to Eminem. He even said that himself. 🫡
@@Godzgeneral07 gtfoh show me where Lupe said that. I already know who I'm talking to so I won't debate you on hip hop you probably only listen to Eminem. Eminem isn't top 5, top 10 yes but I get at least 5-6 ppl ranked ahead of the white boy from Detroit. Eminem ain't better than any of the goats that's Jay Nas Big & Pac. Don't even mention his name with any I just named. I won't even reply to Hov & Nas hate. Show me you're a casual when it comes to my culture.
@@Juscallmemav Em stans think wordplay is some new thing Eminem just invented in 2010 lmfao
Also Jay Z explained how he came to be able to do that. He would have rhymes in his head back from his time spent dealing and he wouldn’t have anything to write his rhymes down on so he just started to memorize them and that led to him just making up things entirely in his head.
ya. its called autism
Lyrical exercise
Exactly You’re a person who pays attention and actually listens to ..
I think JayZ spent more years Not Dealing than dealing. Almost to the point of why even bring it up anymore? 30/40 yrs ago let it go. His writing process is much more interesting topic, lol 🤷♂️😅
@@horatioh2020 ? That’s not even my opinion or me bringing up a whatever. That’s actually Jay’s own explanation. He’s not ashamed of his past. No one else should be either. So there’s not really a problem bringing it up.
This the testimony to the magic of song writers/musicians. I come from a very musically intuitive family...and sadly it skipped a generation with me. So I totally admire and appreciate the mental geometry of these artists. Rick's talent is just as mystical....and he seems to handle tapestry very well.....soft spoken....sincere...and gracious. Music is a language that is universal and a bit humbling......a big THANKS to all these special beings. Love the channel.
I always was waiting for Kiedis to be on the show, not because I am a super big fan or particularly interested in what he has to say, just because Joe Rogan and Anthony Kiedis in one room would be the ultimate meetup of "California Dudes".
Joe Rogan is from New York and lives in Texas...
Lmfaoooooooo 😂😆😆😂
Joe Rogan ain't no California dude "bro".... Lol
Joe is from Boston area
I know where he is from. Doesn't change that all his mannerisms, his way of talking, his personality and so on are cliché old school Californian. He is like a Red Hot Chili Pepper song turned flesh, which is why I would like to hear him talk to Kiedis. The only thing missing is that he doesn't surf.
Little known fact that Kiedis is actually was actually born in Seoul to North Korean defectors. They were hunted down by the state and gave Kiedis up for adoption before they disappeared without a trace. This backstory was the inspiration for the song ‘Hump de Bump’
The fact that Rick rubin is a super fan of professional wrestling was the most mind blowing thing I learned about him in this interview lol
Dudes front row behind the announce table area for every wrestlemania
I've always struggled to explain the idea that sometimes I don't know what a song I write is about, or what it's really about, until much after it's finished. Hearing him describe it like a "dream" in that way finally clicked in my head what the feeling is. Perfect explanation that was amazing haha
craziest thing about Rick is he’s such a staple in music but he doesn’t even play any instruments 😭 what a goat
Well, I agree no instruments, but he was the DJ for Beastie Boys. So, turntables?? Legend...
I doubt he does any mixing or mastering either. He's just a guru guiding these bands and musicians. He probably knowa what to do to get the best out of them.
We love you guys. You are both legendary.
thanx
A living legend here. Rubin is responsible for so many of our favorite songs an artists and most don't even know his name. It'll be a sad day the day this one goes.
This pod was sooooo good. I learned so many things about music I have loved for basically my whole life. “Let me clear my throat!”
Rick has lived one of the most unique lives ever. Incredible is such an understatement.
I wanna hear the 99% of what Eminem doesn’t use!!!
Just goes to show the standards Eminem holds himself to. One of the best wordsmiths to ever touch a mic.
@Danny Dreadnought Lmaaaoooo
Nas has a song (I think it's "Book of Rhymes" from God's Son) where the narrative of the song is him going through notebooks of rap verses or parts of rap verses that he never used in albums and rapping them in the song. It's a cool track.
thats an awfully hot coffee pot
I don’t even wanna hear the 1% he is putting out these days
came here from the SYOD clip, i wont listen to people talk about music but when i hear rick rubin talk about music i listen, no one has been around the diverse amount of talent as rick rubin
Rubin also funded an old-school southern pro wrestling promotion. A true renaissance man!
When Rick Rubin talks, you listen. An absolute genius.
It’s only one Rick Rubin……..
Man is a absolute legend.
Also fun fact. Jay Z process came from when he was on the block selling work.
He would do the songs in his head. Legendary.
Its not fun. Not at all
Why do people have to Mention "Dealing" when commenting on Jayz Talent? It's like always saying, Em can rap but he is a crack/drug addict 😅
I could listen to Rick for hours. GREAT interview..please bring him back often. He's a very important cultural treasure ;-)
Every creative person's writing process is different but the Keidas type of piecing together the puzzle with high points is probably the most common for screenwriters, novelists, songwriters, etc.
This man is one of the most important personalities in music. I don't think anybody else has been involved in the making of the biggest musical acts of 3 different genres
Its almost like they impose him on talented musicians to control them.
@@sharkarkheart9085 who’s they
When I am writing, I use the 'none sense words' method, to get started. The hardest part is finding a group of people to work with, who I feel comfortable around, during that creative process. After the song is already written, it's easy to show it to anyone. It's that awkward, creative, beginning, that has vulnerability, that is difficult to share. When you find people who can not only respect that early process, but also, are able to contribute to it, then you have found your band!
its true, i’ll just begin with what comes to mind when freestyling, en then the second time its not better but on a patern that’s a little bit better
Rick is one of a kind. He is the man for a whole generation. EVERYONE one of us. Amazing. The BIGGEST music stars. Plain and simple he is the music god

Rick Rubin IS music! All genres of music. Eminem,Chili Peppers, Metallica…this guy is amazing
Metallica is very ricent, but he produced Reign in Blood goddamn
@@nicolaemadalinboboc6704 metallica was over 14 yrs and that album sounds like shit from a production standpoint just like his work on the sabbath album 13. Its funny people praise this guy and then musicians who have worked with him dont exactly have praise for him in regards how he does things
@@knightfall9394 I mean, he did a great job with Slayer. Reign in Blood has a very unique production for its style of music and one might argue that Slayer would have not gotten as popular as they are without that album sounding like it does. so old Rick Rubin might be clueless when it comes to how metal albums should sound, but he definitely knew what he was doing in the 80s. also Metallica fucked the production of an album before (Justice) despite them having a great sound on their previous records, so I would not be surprised if the band also had an involvment in Death Magnetic sounding as bad as it did. there could also be the case of Rick Rubin being the kind of producer that likes to experiment, which would explain the originality and success of the production on some records (Reign in Blood) , and failure on others (Death Magnetic), compared to a producer that has a more safe approach
Incredible that one man has worked behind the scenes with so many top tier artists all throughout so many different genres of music.
Anthony Keidis coming up with genius lyrics like, “ding dang dong ding ding dang dong”
Yeah that is a real dinger that line. That one is justified as fleas young daughter liked the line as it was, so it was kept in for the record.
Irony is RHCP could survive replacing any other member. Anthony's lyrics fit perfectly with the vibe even if all he's saying is ding dang dong. He's also pitchy live, but sounds phenomenal in the studio cuts. It's funk /rock band...

non-musicians perception that he does nothing makes him even more elusive. This guy is the real deal. Just the way he thinks and articulates the musical ideas, shows how much he really knows about putting together a good record. Bravo
I really like this interview. What Rick describes here about putting a song/lyrics together like a puzzle, and not necessarily knowing what it means until the song is done - or even until years after (because it comes from the subconscious) is exactly how I've been writing my poetry over the years. I also take a similar approach to my songwriting (hobbyist producer).
I would just get an inspiration, put pen to paper and let it flow - sometimes a piece of me would interject and say "no, you need to have that word here, it needs to be *this* way" even if the word was something that didn't really make sense at the time.
I would often have some idea of its meaning to me once it was finished, but now even years after I go through some of them and find that they relate to my life, Self or understanding in an overarching way that I never would have been able to piece together at the time I wrote them.
It's cool to hear the process wasn't unique and is something that other, even world-famous, artists use in constructing things the way they do.
Yes, Jordan Peterson mentions this is the big difference between art and propaganda. Art is created without knowing the outcome

It was hella dope that Joe was giving big praises to Kool G Rap. One of the lesser known legends of rap. Those of us in the hip hop world know about him.
The Godfathers album with Kool G Rap & Necro is fucking awesome
Streets of New York, roots of evil, 4,5,6, the list can go on and on. G Raps body of work is just incredible. Never slept on by true hip hip fans.
The way he describes how Anthony writes is exactly how I thought he must write after having first listened to his lyrics back in the day. Good to see it confirmed.
All rappers lyricist vocalists have phrases and pieces that are always on deck to pull out for songs. Eminem had an immense amount of material to just pull out when needed for situations like this. Off top yes but much to choose from in his head already.
Wish someone would introduce Joe to Aesope Rock. That man is truly a lyrical genius
Too bad most people won’t be convinced he isn’t just stringing together nonsense. Listening to him while high is always a trip.
Straight up this is the interview I've been waiting on right here
I relate to this so much. My creative process is entirely in my head, I hardly write anything down. The world needs more of this, we all have our own way of creating, and it is okay that it is different from one another. Every teacher in the world could use this lesson. I hope Rick Rubin knows who Harry Mack is, because Harry is the KING of writing in his head, except he does it completely on the fly. This has been one of my favorite Rogan podcasts in a long time.

Seeing this, i agree 100%, some things are said out of opinion, but the things rick rubin says are the way of nature, and yeah its magic when you hear a beat and start flowing with a rhythm or a rhythm with words attached along it feels great
Freestyling verses is probably one of the hardest things you can do in rap, so many artists brag about "yeah, son! That shit was off the dome" when he wrote that nonsense the previous night.
However I don't understand how he can go off the dome, make sense so that you can't even tell he's freestyling these verses. They are so tight and structured and he doesn't really waste any words. The flow is impeccable.
Someone needs to invite Jay-Z and explain his thought process. Its an amazing gift.
I'm pretty sure Jay Z thinks of lyrics and bars in his spare time. But to incorporate pieces of them into a verse for a certain song and to create that verse and flow on the spot is truly AMAZING! 🔥
I would doubt that he create these verses ahead of time because his 16 bars are like a complete, deep conversation with many levels .. It’d be harder to piece together what he says
He's said that he like to drive in his car and has a tape recorder on hand. I heard that in an interview
@@jamiepatterson4386 I'm talking about specific bars, punchlines. He might have an Obama or Frank Lucus bar that he thought of months ago... and uses it in a future verse.
His lyrics are freestyle, nothing is pre planned or thought of. That’s part of the unique makeup of his many talents that make him the 🐐

1:14 for anyone wondering, this thinking is called an "open loop" of thinking (as opposed to a "closed loop") which means that your train of thought is allowed to be continuous, not having to be broken in the effort of remembering anything. you achieve this by getting in a good train of thought - preferably flow state - and then when you have those thoughts, you don't make a great effort to remember or write down everything. you essentially trust that those thoughts will stay in your brain instead of worrying about keeping them in your grasp, and this allows your mind to keep on the same train of thought, achieving kind of a flow state. the reason you're able to remember everything during and afterwards is because the human brain (even a pretty low-functioning one) is able to remember those thoughts really well if you just let it do it's thing, people just try REALLY really hard to remember things which ironically makes you forget them.
also, you should know that trying this out may not work right away because it's kinda difficult to get the feel for it. look up more info on the open and closed loops and specifically in the mental sense.
