00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>In the past few days, Rick Rubin has continued to

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>make waves across both music and media. On September three,

3
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>he dropped a new episode of his podcast Tetragrammaton featuring

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>tech and music executive Ian Rodgers. Mogers shared stories from

5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>his early days building hip hop web platforms for the

6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Beastie Boys, to leading digital strategy for giants like Beats

7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Music and later LVMH. Wicks podcast keeps cementing his role

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>as a convener of some of the most influential creative

9
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and business minds in music and beyond, according to the

10
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>show's episode listing on en Z. Pod clips from the

11
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Ian Rodgers interview have already been circulating in music, tech

12
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>circles and on social media, where fans praised wix mac

13
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>for drawing out unconventional career lessons from his guests. Meanwhile,

14
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Rick's influence remains a hot topic in industry interviews. This week,

15
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>The Darkness guitar Dan Hawkins, in a Lehigh Valley News feature,

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>credited Rick Rubin's philosophy as a decisive inspiration for their

17
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>latest album, whose tour is currently making headlines. Howkins told

18
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 1>the press that Rick's advice ignore what your audience expects

19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and make music only for yourself was essential to the

20
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>album's creative process. That offhand mention sparked a barage of

21
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>social media posts referencing classic Ruben mantras about artistic authenticity

22
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>with music Twitter, echoing debates over whether Rick is a

23
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>genius or, as Hawkins joked, just a provocateur. The remark

24
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>briefly trended among rock and producer circles, with a few

25
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>threads resurfacing signature moments from Ruben's career, including his work

26
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>with Johnny Cash and Jay Z. Just this week, American

27
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Songwriter ran a look back on career, defining comeback albums,

28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>highlighting Rick Ruben's role and reviving Johnny Cash's legacy through

29
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>an American Recordings. The piece includes a Rubin quote about

30
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>turning the studio into an intimate living room to capture

31
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Cash's real, unguarded voice, a moment that continues fueling his

32
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>legendary status among music history buffs and younger producers learning

33
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>what really features matters in making records. No new business

34
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>launches or headline grabbing public appearances have been verified in

35
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>the last several days, but the tetragrammaton drop and the

36
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Darkness Interview together have reignited Rick's profile as a behind

37
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the scene's force whose words and methods echo throughout the

38
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>industry even when he's not promoting a particular project. No

39
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>speculation or unconfirmed reports of collaborations or major business changes

40
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>have surfaced recently. However, Rick's ongoing presence at the intersection

41
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of culture, creativity, and tech makes even casual mentions newsworthy

42
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>within weeks of their occurrence. And that is for today.
