is there a good biog, article, interview (ANYTHING) on Rick Rubin (apart from that book with him and Simmons on the cover) that anyone can reccomend?

The BBC's Dancing In The Streets series a few years ago had a really good interview with him in the final episode, if my memory serves me well. I'm pretty sure the series was released on video/DVD too.

Rolling Stone has a couple of articles.

Right-wing Rick Rubin says Boots Riley

Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump.

He just looks like a hippie.

Candace Owens herself chimes in on that thread:

Respectfully, this is not true. Unless you are alleging that Rick Rubin made Kanye tweet “I love the way Candace Owens thinks” from Ye’s account?

What happened thereafter is of public record. I replied on twitter saying that I’d like to meet up, and then his friend (named Ben) had his father email me to get my number.

Maybe you know more than me but Rick Rubin was not the go-between.

So Candace is basically calling Kanye a liar. I’m not outraged.

President Keyes, Saturday, 9 March 2024 21:28 (two years ago)

Riley didn’t just make that shit up. I saw Kanye saying that long ago.

President Keyes, Saturday, 9 March 2024 21:29 (two years ago)

Am I surprised that someone as aesthetically conservative as Rick Rubin is conservative in other ways? Not really, no.

cmon, that’s nonsense

talib kweli said in 2021 that kanye had blamed rubin for convincing him to support trump & connect with owens, but kweli said he thought it was weird for kanye to shift responsibility like that. while kanye is not exactly a reliable source on the topic of himself, owens' account doesn't actually contradict that - rubin could easily have been the reason kanye was interested in owens in the first place.

not that owens should be trusted here at all either
