Unfortunately, like, homework and school wasn't the thing that I was obsessing over. It was, you know, music and making music and how to like - and drum machines. And we met Rick Rubin, and Rick Rubin had a drum machine. So I would just cut school and go to his house - his dorm room.

Rick Rubin's undulating face hair is just as famous as his body of work. In homage to the yogis he read about as a boy on Long Island, Rubin hasn't shaved since he was 23. It's long been his registered trademark.

That was American Recordings. I said, I like the name, maybe it'd be OK. So I said, I'd like to meet the guy [Rick Rubin ].I'd like for him to tell me what he can do with me that they're not doing now.

Johnny Cash

Rick Rubin eats no cheese.

Stephen Rodrick

Rick Rubin's amazing, by the way. I just need to say that.

Linda Perry

It was Rick's Rubin idea to have the 'Brooklyn' verse repeat. It already was a story, but having that made it a folk song. Instead of this rambling march of verses, Rick understands that music needs hooks. You need that repeated chorus, that everyone can sing along to.

Dave Fortman really helped me appreciate Rick Rubin as a producer.

Jim Root

You know what, if Rick Rubin would produce another Geto Boys album I'd do it.

The Nike joint 'Classic' with Kanye, Nas, KRS-One, that was a remix - Rick Rubin did the original, and his was a double-time tempo; mine was a regular boom-bap tempo, and they liked it so much that we ended up doing the video to it.

DJ Premier

The biggest thing Rick Rubin taught me is that you don't get any extra credit by doing everything yourself.

Kenny Beats

Rick Rubin and my father had a great friendship and it's because of it that the work my dad did at the end of his life was created - that he felt creativity and invigorated again, even though he was being consumed by frailty.

John Carter Cash

I found in Rick Rubin a kindred soul. When I visited his home and looked in his library, I saw he was reading the very same New Age books I had picked up the month before.

Donovan

Rick Rubin is interesting. He doesn't wear shoes, I think? No wait, he wears shoes.

What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?

Johnny Cash

Rick Rubin is super intriguing to me because he has become this god producer in completely drastically different genres, which very few people have done.

Ryan Lewis

You can really walk around a song and completely, if it's a good song, look at it from a lot of different angles. Johnny Cash with Rick Rubin illustrated that perfectly.
