Rick Rubin on Crashing Kanye


Man, they don't make producers like Rick Rubin anymore. Dude is a producer's producer. He's done his thing with Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, Country etc. Breh is amazing

Who's that hip-hop/R&B producer who's up there with Dr. Dre has a lot of big hits in the 90s, recognized as one of the biggest names in production. He doesn't use a stage name, it's his full name. Some people put him on their GOAT list

Good read.

This is like a "let there be light" type of moment for hip-hop

What was the next step? Did you say, “we have to sign this kid”?

No, I called LL and said we should meet. I remember being in the dorm and going through his notebook. This was before rap songs really had structure. Often they could be eight, nine minutes long—one entire side of a 12-inch. So I would go through LL’s lyric book and say, “Let’s use these eight bars as a verse, and let’s use these 16 bars as a verse, and this phrase here is going to be the hook, and that will be repeated.”

That was a fairly revolutionary approach.

It hadn’t really happened before in rap. And I think the reason I did it was really just my having grown up with the Beatles. That’s how I heard music—in a song format.

Amazing interview

No wonder the album sounded the way it did....it was rushed. Certain songs sounded like they missing fx and other shyt to clean them up a bit, for ex. the charlie wilson hook cutting off abruptly on Bound 2...it does not sound polished to me.

For someone who is a perfectionist...Yeezy dropped the ball on this album.

Yeezy a perfectionist?

Dr. Dre would never let an album come out like that
