RICK RUBIN ADMITS HE KNOWS 'NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC'
Rick Rubin has admitted that he knows “nothing” about music, and that he has no “technical ability” in the studio.
The legendary producer – whose genre-spanning career has included work with JAY-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, LL COOL J, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and Public Enemy, as well as rock acts like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Sabbath – said in an extensive interview with 60 Minutes that “barely” knows how to make music or even play an instrument.
“Do you play instruments?” Anderson Cooper asked in a clip shared on Twitter. “Barely,” Rubin replied, to which Cooper retorted: “Do you know how to work a soundboard?”
“No. I have no technical ability, and I know nothing about music,” Rubin said, causing Cooper to laugh.

Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy,…See More
