      Yes, incredible questions. Poignant and polished all from being prepared and thinking carefully about them. Well done. Just for feedback sake - sound levels on the VO were tingy, mid-ranging from the warmth of the interview. Enough to take me out of the intimacy of the connection you both had. Doesn't take away at all at how amazing this session was. Well done!

    This was incredible
    * Turn fear into a tailwind instead of a headwind
    * Fear is as powerful as the force
    * When you feel fear, you have to train yourself to move forward
    * Any creative that creates something great has the fear that the next thing will not be as good.

    This is hands down the best series COMPLEX puts out. This is great info and insight into what makes these moguls so successful. My favorite things he said was "turn your fears from headwind into tailwind" and "I don't have a rearview mirror" alluding to staying focused on the future and not looking back.

With Jimmy at the helm of Apple, there's hope for future of music distribution, creativity and artist success. He'll get it right because he understands the human heart.

      @jishin7426 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      What?! NO ONE wanted Dr Dre's Chronic... believe it or not. Dr. Dre shopped it around to every record label and he was already "Dr. Dre" post NWA. Iovine heard it and knew it will change the game. Suge Knight then proceeded to destroy it! In the mean time, Iovine signs No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Eminem... Suge Knight, in jail. Iovine and Dre together... Fucking Legends!

    • @lord2ndgoodvibes
      @lord2ndgoodvibes 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ji Shin yes but at that time the only reason interscope made the distribushion for the chronic was because it was to go on bankruptcy it has been mention in a lot of interviews also documentaries about deathrow

    • @jishin7426
      @jishin7426 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This makes no sense... Death Row to go bankrupt, hence they pushed an agreement for distribution of The Chronic? Everyone was suing Dre at the time because he walked away from Ruthless Records. Iovine said to Dre, give me 2 weeks, I'll clear up all these legal disputes. Dre was at a low point in his career. Interscope was eh... but they made mad $$$ with Rico Suave. Iovine saw GENIUS in Dre and Dre saw GENIUS in Iovine... the cream always rises to the top.

  • @deathchronicles6960

    There is one thing jimmy should never forget for interscope success.. If they dont join hands with death raw for the chronic albums they will not be big as this much because dr dre was the one whom they got from death raw and the the chronic albums was the one which save them from being shutdown their record label
