Great producers seldom have great talent. Great producers are really great communicators. They are well-rounded in the world and so can provide the kind of critique that is necessary for real genius. Of course does a guy like Prince need somebody like Rick Rubin? No, Prince is a force of nature but a lot of musicians do need somebody like Rick to be able to quantify what they're trying to say musically. His style can sometimes seem very aloof but it works.

I'm an artist. And this is the hardest thing to learn when working for a client. Learning to bridge the gap between description and creation. Most often they don't have the mental training to really conceptualize what you're talking about Or to accurately describe what they want. Often I won't start a project until they give me several pages of clippings, scraps, reference images that at least hint to the scope of what they want.
One of the best things I learned in art college was the notion of just getting an immediate idea or design down on paper. If you don't it just sits there I'm your mind as an idea and is extremely difficult to get past.
This statement from Rick goes right to the heart of the matter of ego and finding effective collaborators, especially how being selfLESS helps take ideas from the brain and put them 'on the table', where they can truly benefit from the power of multiple viewpoints/inputs. Such a master!👍
This is where i failed at first, because when i used to have ideas of things i wanna do, i would just say i wanna do it and have no logic or sense of direction as to why and how versus now when i just write it on a sheet of paper and then have an argument as to how i would approach the idea and i believe this method is much more better because i can write down methods to deal with it
When it’s not in your head, you don’t hold it so personally.. when we are questioned on our ideas, we think the opinions are about us, our ability, or just simply us, not being good enough. You get fumbled and often change your ideas to fit into someone’s opinion.. but if you were demonstrate your ideas, often people are impressed or give feedback that doesn’t directly go to you head or heart..

Let’s talk, more do. Pretty much every bit of wisdom there’s ever been has already been turned into a Colloquialism, parable, axiom, mantra, or catchphrase.
I guess not putting pen to paper 📜 is a form of procrastinating. Sort of like when u hv a idea but forget what it was but then something pops up that reminds you. I like Rick Rubin...how the fuk u guys know each other???
If a person wants to talk to him about their own idea, it's their idea and he's not interested. "Show it to me." As soon as they write it out "for you" it's automagically not their idea any more, you're happy to collaborate and work together. You want to fully vet his idea and call it a colab, but not colab on the idea itself and be a true collaborator. Sounds entitled and selfish
Slick Rick. One of the last Jewish guys to repackage resell and profit from black artists without knowing how to play music, write a song or engineer a sound studio. He's part of a rich tradition of Jewish guys making bank and building reputation from black creativity
Rick is extremely overrated No one hits up Justin Bieber like “so how do you make millions at 12 years old?” Same answer for him as for Rick. “I don’t have any real talent, I just got lucky, and it carried me through life”
@@rafabar6652 He’s basically admitting to having a problem visualising or agreeing to other peoples ideas unless he can get a practical demonstration and change it.
@@PrimitiveFuturologist_YTC so, he's admitting he's human? our ideas are always greater in our heads. i've sometimes been very excited about an idea for weeks, started rehearsing it out loud and before i even finished the first sentence, i knew it was shit and my brain was just playing tricks on me. people are visual creatures. you cant demand transparency and then criticize what you see. in fact, you are ironically doing exactly the same thing: he's explaining his idea to you, which you reject. if you saw it in practice, you might find it extremely effective.
@@PrimitiveFuturologist_YTCstop throwing this word around like confetti. It’s dangerous and irresponsible. Additionally, it doesn’t apply here. Expand your vocabulary to better express your views.
I love how Rick Rubin has emerged as the Moses of creativity.
Just as Moses (Moses was creative as F)
Guru of the music industry
He definitely looks like Moses fasho
and unlike so many other 'gurus' he made his bones first. you listen to him bc he has already proven he has the goods
This is so true for me. I am horrible at explaining things and delegating. Once it’s done everyone thinks it’s amazing

"is this the best that it could be?" Is one of my favorite Rick Rubin ideas when it comes to making art/music.
Don’t get lost in the pursuit of trying to make something perfect because perfect doesn’t exist

Same happens in web development field 😂
I loved listening to the audiobook. Rick's voice is so soothing. I could've been hypnotized during parts of it. Not to mention, the content was great.
Rick is so wise, eloquent and strangely soothing. I love how he explains everything. Just bought his book, have read 2 pages and already love it.
Thank you, man. You are right on.. Totally creative purity. Love it.

I love Rick Ruben! He’s always so insightful and interesting
which book is he talking about any idea Ma'am?
its amazing how peoples reaction to what you MAKE is so much better than when you simply describe it
Reminds me of when they were pitching the matrix
Creative wizard ❤ love your work Rick ❤
This is the first video I have seen that demonstrates the genius of Rick. Everyone talks about him and I believe it, but man what a great idea.
I love Rick Rubin’s perspective on creativity.
Imagine having Rick as your uncle or mentor.. It's like buying a game of the year edition of life's video game..
Such a universal approach. I do new product development and this is similar to prototyping (could say it is the same).
Brilliant. Loved reading about his time with Cash in "The Life" by Robert Hilburn.
Beautifully put. Such a simple yet powerful thing!!
Damn this is incredible insight. Love Rick, great work on the collab 🙏🏼
How right and true this is!
Great advice
Easy to see why he's so successful
Good food for thought. Thanks
Good advice
Smart, lovely guy 🙏🏼 🧘🏼♀️

Oh snap. I think I found mega brain candy here. Sure late to the party, but happy to be here anyway. I like it A LOT. Energy👍👍👍

The explaining of my ideas is my achilles heel. I feel so Inadequate in my articulation.
'slight', not 'slide'.
This dude knows how to communicate….

Wisdom.
This makes soo much sense, thank you I really needed to hear this 🫡🫳🎤

This guy just lives in construction zones or something
Does he ask for a piece of pie when he’s collaborating on your idea? Which is no longer your idea when he starts making it better, supposedly?
Okay so basically “always complete a first draft before discussing” is intuitive

Whats why job interview doesn’t work for everyone
“Do not explain your philosophy, embody it”
I guess not putting pen to paper 📜 is a form of procrastinating. Sort of like when u hv a idea but forget what it was but then something pops up that reminds you.
I like Rick Rubin...how the fuk u guys know each other???
Some people are terrible with being objective
Basically, show don't tell
He’s defending all the claims that he steals everyone’s ideas and is not the creative genius media makes him to be.
He "steals" publishing, making himself a co-writer when it comes to residual payments
"Slight", not "slide."
This method can be used to build credit, but also will destroy credit.
He’s just the money guy like Zane lowe, they don’t offer anything to the artist other than a studio and a contracted interview pre album release
*slight
Philosophy
🤙🤙🤙🤙
Is Rick related to Bhagavan Das?
So in other words, actions speak the loudest? ;)
He sounds like one of those self help gurus that gets other people to do the work
is it just me or do you *have* to watch it at least twice to get what hes really saying
show dont tell

Without a practical example where you can see applied this, it is just some random words that sound philosophical but are really meaning nothing.
This is mostly piss poor advice as these people steal your idea and you get nothing.
Lol but this is just a trick to be a doer and not a yapper
My band is amazing. But when I describe us, which I am not good at- it sounds like the stupidest thing ever.
You look like God
