Interesting, I’ve been wondering about that recently as I had to pull out of art school after a few months and always regretted that. I have wondered if it was a good thing in that I didn’t get programmed into a way of thinking that could have quenched my spirit.
Idk if it's YHWH, Allah, Brahma, or Spaghetti Monstah, one of them or all of them Thank you for this life and giving us this ability to mess with your universe. The laws you've lain for us restrict us, which is where creativity comes from. Without confined creativity, the human mind has nowhere to roam.
One of the great lies of our Western Society is that you have to make a career from your calling. If you don’t, you’re a failure. Thank you Rick for bringing this false mindset into the light. I spent 40 years working as a graphic designer: it was a non-onerous way to support myself while I wrote songs. Career: graphic design. Calling: songwriting. Two different things.
How did you felt/feel about splitting the two? does it work for you to split money/career and soul/passion? I am in the same boat with graphics as an income and music and some other things as a passion with which I don't want to earn money. But I am still struggling because in me is that voice that I have fully utilize what I am good at and monetize it etc... Somehow I can't just create for the sake of creation. It feels like wasted time in which I could grow my business or do something monetary productive.. How did you deal with this? Thanks
@@nikita.kapustin Nikita, it was never easy. Took me a long time to realise that society was, in effect, selling us a lie. That I wasn’t a failure because I had a career. The thing I came to is that unless you become independently wealthy (from a lottery win or something), you will always be beholden to someone. With music, that someone might be a record company, an advertising firm or a film director. And that someone will almost always want to have input into what you’re doing. If you have a day job, you are totally free to make whatever music you want to make!
How is that a lie of western society? Most people just try to find a job/career they're good at and enjoy. Our society is by no means geared towards people finding their calling.
@@rigelb9025 I could write a book explaining, it's complicated for many factors and reasons. Music is the love of my life; I trust with all my heart that my voice is strong enough to be a successful artist; and my imagination would lead to create dope music videos that millions of people around the world would love. But... I was born poor. That's the main reason I always have a hard time to create what I thought in my mind; and second, where I live there aren't too many options to create, because it is a small city.
Right on, I was saying this today - be authentic who cares if people don't like it, not everyone is going to like the same shit. I'm okay with people not liking me
It’s such a pleasure to feel that space in their conversation. Wonderful interview, and wonderful interviewer. Lovely to let the guest star have the spotlight and be able to speak. A rare thing in many interviews these days, where the interview thinks he/she is the star of the show. :) Hey, Thank you Glo and Rick, for sharing, listening, and shining. Thank you.
THIS IS A GOOD ONE. I can totally relate as a comedian that's been "grinding" for 8 years. The progress (as an artist and person) and sheer amount of creative material I've amassed impresses myself and reminds me that it hasn't been for nothing, but the fact that my "career" has barely changed constantly toys with my head. This video helped me rememember that I'm not doing this for anyone else; it's between me and God/the universe. My best material is stuff that makes ME laugh or things that I enjoy to re-read, and this is my beacon, not the critics. Trying to make art FOR specific people is a recipe for disaster, because you still might not make money, but you also just sold out on yourself.
@@sskengineering8474Better late than to never have tried. I try to remember that I will never regret trying as much as I will regret never having tried. It’s not about being great at it but about having the fun and satisfaction of trying.
Rick delivers an excellent description of what art and uniqueness are, in a personal, individual context. And he is expressing it in a non-exaggerated, snobbis or inflated manner....
Kinda needed to hear this. I make stuff, post it but it takes so much effort sometimes. mental health, lazinesss, just a pain! I have done and know I can do more. Lot of really useful information..I will rewatch everyday. This will be my daily mantra!
The best 12:20 interview that's i've watch and listen to for 2024 very honest and inspiring at the same time. Always listen to that inner voice of intuition. Its there for a reason. Thanks so much. ❤🙏
Now we gettin somewhere, I see it all over youtube, musicians thinking making music is about money etc, but it’s not. At least not if you want to love what you are doing. it’s about expressing what is in you. Only when you are truly are aware of and true to your inside you can do this. Rick rocks 💢👊🏼💢
This just came at the right time, i was feeling awfull about having a job that doesn't relate to my dream like other people that make music, but yes, i need to live and support myself to feel free, no shame in that ❤
I was a snob to abstract art forever until about 4 weeks ago. I had an awakening! I get it now! It is very unique and I am on board 100%. Your comment that our art is offering to our creator. How. Profound❤️. It explains my pure joy. I actually had the sensation few nights ago that I actually had a co pilot working with me❤
🤯Unbelievable! This guy is taking all of the thoughts I developed about music over the years and puts them into words. I’m resonating so much with everything he says. I have to admit that it took half a life to get there since I believe all those insights come from experience in creating (music or whatever). It’s very soothing to get a kind of confirmation from somebody who made it big time, thanks Rick!
I agree 100% with him. From what I learned during my spiritual journey. Success is knowing who you are and knowing where you want to go. I’ve also learned through this, that disappointment will follow. But what you fail at isn’t for you, those who are against you aren’t for you. I just want to continue learning and making my art and hope that it helps someone ❤
I randomly went to Barnes & Noble a few months ago and found The Creative Act. Just now starting it, but I have a feeling it’s going to be an important book for me personally. Thank you for the video
Thank you so much for sharing this. I stumbled across it somehow and it's exactly what I needed to hear, nothing could be so apt right now - I think what he is saying will change lives.
About his take, that in general people didn't like to be told what to do, I feel people don't like to do things in vain. Things that amount to nothing. 🙏🏻
Rick Rubin is really amazing... I'll buy a copy of his book now and I have to...after all it's written by him and Mr. Neil Strauss!! Love you Rick ❤😎🙏🤟
Thank you Rick. I can relate to this - I stopped comparing myself to others and this released my creative flow. I am an engineer and composer. I express myself uniquely with a combination of music and vehicles. My artist name is Mairk
people like him are everywhere . i'm 58 and meet special people daily . dont treat them like gods or hero's rick rubin is one of these poeple who gives energy to many others, great guy
Steve Jobs predicted what people would like before they knew they liked it. Nevertheless, always great to hear Rick. His work on creativity is the modern authoritative text on the subject.
This is not true. Jobs always created a product first, and then spend billions in marketing to manipulate people to like it. There are many products superior to Apple engineered in China. Apple still is able to throw the fan base sand into the eyes. And people are hooked by this manipulation. They stand in rows for days in front of Apple stores to be the first ones to get the newest iPhone. This is for me the definition of stupidity because there is no true new innovation in a mobile phones. Apple didn’t made anything groundbreaking new in the past 15 years. But yet people buy it like crazy. Jobs is dead and Apple is running on old ideas. Same is true for fake Engineers like Musk, who lies as soon he opens his mouth. No, true success comes from humility. Sadly we life in a time where the biggest narcissists gets all the admirers. If you love yourself its truly easy to recognize how insecure people like Trump, Musk etc. are.
Thank you, Rick Rubin - also, you're authentically brilliant. "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" is f**king timeless, and your body of work and contribution to Americana is undeniable.
I dislike the vagueness by which he talks a lot, but I cannot deny he makes alot of really good points like for example the "have I gone further than ive gone before"..."not being complacent".
Duh, yall, Rick is just a guy, he isn’t great, he’s just being real and that’s what makes him great lol, yall can all be great as well, just be real, cuz it’s the simplest way of being.
Your art should be a gift to God because you are responding to gifts from God. It goes both ways. It's give and take. And it goes beyond that dynamic, too.
Make your work a gift to God and a response to gifts from God. If you don't like word God, try Nature, Reality, the universe, or whatever term you understand and are comfortable with.
I was free, then went to art school and it took me twenty years to recover myself. Today I’m thankfully to be back 🙏🏾
Yep

Welcome back.
I had almost the exact same journey lol
He’s talking about enlightenment, your highest self is your most creative self
Or self actualisation, which is achievable, while enlightenment is just an aspiration
Every creative person perusing Their art should read and listing to Rick Rubin.
A Genuinely genius

It's difficult to make a living from art.
That's not your fault

I needed to hear this. I was feeling so depressed, but I think I should just continue with my creativity no matter what.

Rick’s so friggin’ cool. Chillin like Buddha. This dude has such spiritual insight on music. Making every song the best it can be as its own piece.
I love how truth simply rings clearer than the rest. Wonderful message.
He’s like a shroom trip in human form
