I met him on an airplane when I was around 14. I didn't know who he was at first. My mom had severe anxiety from having to fly and he started to talk to us and calmed her down. He asked me what my favorite band was and I said "Slayer" and he replied "oh I've worked with them" and laughed like he had a small part. I got his name and told him I had just bought Reign In Blood and South of Heaven and he advised me I'd know his part once i got home lol Super cool guy and very very chill.

And that's an understatement.

As an aspiring music producer for the last 20 years, Rick Rubin has always been an idol and influence to me in a spiritual sense. He works purely on instinct coupled with experience. Part of being a great producer in my opinion is understanding people and their strengths as well as their flaws and getting the best performance possible through the beauty of their imperfections coupled with their talent and their presence in the moment. I think that Rick figured that out a long time ago. He is one of the all-time greatest music producers in history and has done it in several different genre's which is a testament to his approach. I also would like to say this is not only the best documentary I've ever seen by far on Rick Rubin, but one of the best on anything I've ever seen period. Well done.

Like don't make an album with the goal of winning another grammy, just because you already have one. Make the music you wanna make.

This was a incredible mini-docu. Well done, Soulr. Thanks for your hard work on this.

I just wanna say how incredibly well done your documentary videos are. You have a way of compiling the footage mixed with the story telling that really captures the essence of the subject matter. Well done! One of the best on KZread that's for sure! And this kind of work is what makes KZread great.

Yo can I talk to you for a second?

the conversation between andre 3000 and rick rubin is so cool to hear after listening to andre 3000's jazz album.. it's cool to hear andre 3000 say that the wind just blows a certain way that led him to this jazz album. magical seeing his integrity flow through artists

Rick Rubin is like the musical Moses in my opinion. He is a legendary musical figure/music producer. And everytime I watch a clip of him or just him conducting an interview, he just has this spiritual aurora about him. I respect his calm and humble demeanor. Despite being a top notch producer he is so humble and I respect that a lot. Rick Rubin is the kind of person I would love to be friends with/get to know.

I think no matter what field Rubin ended up in (if he didn’t go into music production) he would’ve had an immense impact on it. He’s such a soft soul it’s beautiful.

damn hearing mac talk about himself needing to get his shit together.... reminder to appreciate those around you who inspire you while they have you and you have them

This video is a gem! I can't thank you enough for making and sharing it!

He doesn’t just produce hip hop, that’s unbelievable. I saw him in a video for Angus and Julia Stone - Grizzly Bear. He produced that whole album. He is an absolute Jedi with artists

Sir Mix A Lot said that when he took the ruff recording of Baby Got Back to Rick, Rick looked at him and said, "Your life is about to change forever". He said rick made some tweaks and some add ons to the track and it was a instant hit and because of the money that track still makes to this day his quality has been the same every since its release

Rick Rubin is exactly my sort of person. I really get some of the things he says. Heaps of respect to RR for not (or appearing to not) be limited in the way he lives by prevailing mors social pressure & conform . Which is so rare and can also be incredibly challenging in these days of the super-*compliance with

My favorite Rick Rubin moment was when the Red Hot Chili Peppers (my favorite band) was about to release their new studio album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, in 1991. Anthony Kiedis wrote this song about his struggles of trying to get rid of drug addiction. This was also just 3 years after the tragic death of a founding member, Hillel Slovak. Kiedis wrote a poem about how he felt with all this awful turmoil in his life. The song title comes from when he was fucking around with gangster and drugs instead of spending time with people who really trusted him, his friends and family. Kiedis wasn’t even willing to show the poem to Rick Rubin, but Rubin insisted and thank god he did because it is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and honestly, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs ever. The chorus is the mantra I play in my head every day to just keep moving on in life. To correct past failures and mistakes and appreciate what you have in life. Thank you Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rick Rubin. This song has made me a better person. I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day Take me to the place I love, take me all the way

Everything you said💥⛓️💥and why I’m here.

The man is a legend, and if I could record with anybody it would be him. I met him once 20 years ago when he was scouting a band that I was the roadie for, he walked into the venue unknown and unannounced. I recognized him, but barely anyone else did. Without calling him out, I asked him what he thought of the band, he said something about liking their energy or vide or something like that and that was it. I told the band after the set that he was there. They ended up signing with Epitaph.

I just love that first picture of Rick on his parents bed 😍This was around the time he was just getting into hip-hop and shows someone comfortable in his individuality.
