  • In the opening lines of his New York Times bestselling memoir “Let Love Rule” Lenny Kravitz writes that he is deeply two-sided.
    His young life was all about opposites and extremes - black and white. He grew up between his West Indian grandparents’ home in Brooklyn, and his parents’ home on the Upper East Side where he was surrounded by his family’s famous friends like Miles Davis and Duke Ellington.
    When Lenny was 11, his mother, Roxie Roker, landed a starring role on the iconic sitcom “The Jeffersons.” The family picked up and moved to L.A where Lenny fell in love with classic rock, funk, and skate culture.
    It’s also where Lenny and Rick Rubin eventually became friends in the late ‘80s. In this conversation, Lenny tells candid stories about his relationship with Lisa Bonet and talks about how writing his memoir helped him finally find peace with his overbearing father.
    They also talk about the time Lenny, Rick, and Johnny Cash were all roommates and the day Lenny received the most devastating news of his life.

    Listening to this, I realise that Lenny is the ultimate hybrid: two races, two coasts, two cultures (Hip Hop and Dogtown). 👍🏽🔥

    Lenny sharing being surrounded by the Cash/Carter comfort hug made me cry. I'm so glad they gave this to him at the time of this shock. God bless and keep Roxy's soul.

    Unbelievable nonstop conversation. I loved the connection they both talked about for the first time completely when Lennys Momma passed. Rick Rubin in anyone's life is just God Sent, he's such a special person and only brings the best outta anyone. Great Conversation!!

    @brooklynboy1000 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    we all listened to WABC 77 in New York back in the day... if you ears were open you heard the best music in the world... and if you grew up in NYC like Lenny- culture was everywhere.. it makes one a well rounded individual.

    • @geoc1005
      @geoc1005 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, I remember that brilliant time way back in NYC. As a youngin myself, I ate all that culture and artistry up! The music was so rich and varied. Good to know that Lenny was there too being shaped to be the amazing artist he became.

    I've been listening and or washing to a lot of Lenny Kravitz interviews as of late in this is the first one I've come across where the interviewer actually lets him be himself and doesn't waste time with frivolous superficial and non-essential questions. I feel like I really got to know Kravitzs as a human being and learned a lot about him as an artist and life from a different perspective.

    • @MyCheriAnolani
      @MyCheriAnolani 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's what Rick Rubin does best, he brings the best outta everyone. Watch his Andre 3000 Talk, or Kendrick Lamar.
