I don't know if the guy actually made the beats...I am not up on his production credits...

But the few songs I have heard, kind of sound the same...A heavy guitar riff supported by a break beat...

In any case, my statement was more of general opinion on music production...

Ricks philosophy is minimalism.. so yeah I get what you are saying. I think his hip hop sound is very old school and to the essence. So thats what you get

But dude is a certified musician. Check his credits outside Hip hop

as a 24 year old, it honestly amazed me how many ppl didn't know who the fukk rubin was after that commercial. ppl recognized timbo/pharrell then were like "WHO THAT OLD WHITE GUY?"



smh

I've always seen him, but it wasn't until recent I was like :ohhh: hold up, that weird cac is actually a really cool, insightful person

what the fukk are you talking about? :mjpls: rick rubin been getting love all across the board before you were even born. you must be young saying this shyt. look @ his credentials. he's produced for rock artists, rappers, r&b singers and the whole nine for the past 30 years. the man STARTED def jam. if you KNOW that much, then you wouldn't have made this thread.

When it comes to hip hop, if you aint make 85% of the beat, I don't respect you as a producer...

Producers, of any genre, who don't compose the actual music are OVER RATED...

Sound engineers are underrated...

As long as you have a good sound engineer to mix and a good sound engineer to master, then I personally don't think a "good producer, who has never composed a beat" matters...

That's old school paradigm, because the technology was limited...

Today, a good sound engineer can give you a good recording using a desktop microphone...
Been saying this about dre and nikkas don't want to hear it

maybe it's like 2manyFCKNrappers said about people just jumping on the bandwagon. i say it prolly cooler to hate because a jackass could say that rick is feeling :flabbyandsick: and that's why he needs a current high profile artist like ye to stay relevant.
^not my opinion, tho.

i'm happy that kanye got 'reduced' by rick but that's because he's one of my favorite producers for hiphop and rock (slayer is the reason i fukked with him).

and it is cool to love rick rubin now. just like it always has been.

Dapped for the Slayer mention :myman:

A producer is there to bring the best PERFORMANCE out of the musicians. Go make a "Bruce Swedian >>>>>> Quincy Jones" thread if that's really how you feel :heh:

Dude have u ever seen the diversity of acts this mans produced classic, groundbreaking albums for? I disagree about your beat making argument too. There's tons of "beat makers" in hip hop that aren't very good producers. If you wanna really break it down the original role of the producer was to guide the direction of a record. Phil Spector never played an instrument but he's one of the illest producers ever, he knew how to direct musicians n what combination of sounds/vocals would equal a better song. Same thing w Rick and Dre in a lot of cases, they put the peices to the puzzle together. Rick understands music through n through, that's y he can produce a death metal group like Slayer then come back n produce jay z. And his bytch is bad as fukk :krs:

no hate I ever saw, just no love

I see more Mike Will or Timbo threads on different message boards than Rubin.

So when's the Bomb Squad and Marley Marl threads? People are going to talk more about things that are recent :manny:

but I swear 70% of the coli hate old school rap.. Especially the peeps he produced.

No love for the Beasties, LL, etc... but now he around Jay and Kanye, its Rick Rubin:blessed:


I aint going to rant, but dude has always been my fav producer of all time. (hip hop)

If y'all aint up on his discography (even the Red Hot Chili Peppers) check it out..

But anyway, have y'all seen Rick Rubins girlfriend?? OH MY BAGEEZUS. She badder than Beyonce:noah:
