Plenty of ppl out there who can play all sorts of instruments but don't mean they can write hit songs or know what ppl like. Just because you can play guitar and drums don't make you prince.

What he means is "I have the ability to explain to white men,why this black music will appeal to white youth. So that they will put money behind it and make it so"


Nothing more and nothing less really. Truthfully Ive spotted more talent before they blew up than Rick Rubin. If only I was in the right circles and knew white people music back in the day. All you gotta say is shyt like "I'm telling you Mark, T.I and this trap music thing? It reminds me of retro Sound Garden ,fortified with the rawness of black pain and an urban twist:skip:"


Mark-"omg,I can totally see it:picard:! Heres 2 million dollars."



In other words hes a bum and a grifter,and not one of the true geniuses of the culture.

i been telling the coli for years

this fraud is living off a legacy of just having been in proximity to a burgeoning hip hop scene.

he isn't even shy about acknowledging it. he wears it like a badge

that PRIVILEGE

Imagine letting this dud eat off your budget :camby:

one trick pony bytch with loud guitar riffs

When nike commissioned him to make a song he didn't even try to make it hip. (he has hated "MODERN" rap since damn near the 80's btw :skip:)

I don't really value what Rick Rubin brings to the table, he's not really hip hop and the brand of hip hop he did make isn't the type that I enjoy.

That said, there's some truth to not being able to play instruments, engineer or make beats being the end all be all in terms of being a producer, however if you don't do any of these things, you are likely overrated. Which is the case for rubin. Kanye went through the same phase for his latest albums and the music quality has been mostly mediocre outside of half of donda
