WEBVTT - Introducing Broken Record

0:00:15.436 --> 0:00:21.836
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. I have a friend in California, music producer Rick Rubin.

0:00:22.436 --> 0:00:25.756
<v Speaker 1>He's a studio in Malibu called Shango Law. And sometimes

0:00:25.796 --> 0:00:27.876
<v Speaker 1>when I'm out in Los Angeles, I go up and

0:00:27.916 --> 0:00:30.596
<v Speaker 1>see Rick and we sit and look out at the

0:00:30.596 --> 0:00:35.956
<v Speaker 1>ocean and we talk. What, in your mind is the

0:00:36.036 --> 0:00:42.956
<v Speaker 1>first great true hip hop record? I would say run

0:00:43.036 --> 0:00:50.956
<v Speaker 1>DMC Sucker MCS. That's probably the best hip hop record.

0:00:51.276 --> 0:00:54.436
<v Speaker 1>They were rap records before that, but that was maybe

0:00:54.476 --> 0:00:57.796
<v Speaker 1>the first hip hop record. You know, in that era,

0:00:57.916 --> 0:01:01.676
<v Speaker 1>I had a jade tree in my dorm room, run

0:01:01.796 --> 0:01:05.356
<v Speaker 1>DM TREEO, and I had I rewrote the lyrics of

0:01:05.396 --> 0:01:09.396
<v Speaker 1>the song to be all about my jade tree. I'm

0:01:09.436 --> 0:01:11.756
<v Speaker 1>a sucker. Jade tree can't grow much higher. All you

0:01:11.836 --> 0:01:16.156
<v Speaker 1>other jade tree is gonna call me sire. And one

0:01:16.196 --> 0:01:18.636
<v Speaker 1>day we realized we're not the only ones who are

0:01:18.636 --> 0:01:24.556
<v Speaker 1>this crazy about music, so we started visiting lots of

0:01:24.596 --> 0:01:28.476
<v Speaker 1>other people whose work we love. Producer Now Rogers, you've

0:01:28.516 --> 0:01:30.676
<v Speaker 1>probably had one of his songs stuck in your head

0:01:30.676 --> 0:01:34.956
<v Speaker 1>at some point. The very first time David played Let's

0:01:35.076 --> 0:01:39.556
<v Speaker 1>Dance for me, walked into the studio and he played

0:01:39.596 --> 0:01:51.076
<v Speaker 1>something Let's Dance the radio, nothing and then I asked

0:01:51.116 --> 0:01:52.996
<v Speaker 1>me if I could do an arrangement. But then when

0:01:52.996 --> 0:01:55.916
<v Speaker 1>I moved it from a minor up to be flat,

0:01:56.316 --> 0:01:58.556
<v Speaker 1>it actually had a different vibe. It got it got

0:01:58.556 --> 0:02:02.836
<v Speaker 1>brighter in like funkier Son. You can already hear it,

0:02:02.916 --> 0:02:06.356
<v Speaker 1>like now brings along his whole band and gives us

0:02:06.356 --> 0:02:10.716
<v Speaker 1>a private concert. It's insane. Rufus Waynewright does the same thing,

0:02:11.156 --> 0:02:33.396
<v Speaker 1>just him and a piano. Rufus had a cold that day.

0:02:33.636 --> 0:02:36.996
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't even tell. We talked to Wendy and Lisa

0:02:37.076 --> 0:02:40.636
<v Speaker 1>from the Revolution. We were the band that Prince sang to.

0:02:40.836 --> 0:02:42.956
<v Speaker 1>We were the band that Prince danced to. We were

0:02:42.996 --> 0:02:46.276
<v Speaker 1>the band that Prince could take off his guitar and

0:02:46.476 --> 0:02:49.876
<v Speaker 1>do nothing. And it was still a Prince show, you know.

0:02:49.956 --> 0:02:53.516
<v Speaker 1>And so then the audience gets to experience what he experienced.

0:02:53.996 --> 0:02:56.716
<v Speaker 1>And what's a music podcast without a deep dive into

0:02:56.756 --> 0:03:00.676
<v Speaker 1>the epistemology of Norwegian black metal? You know, death motto

0:03:00.756 --> 0:03:02.756
<v Speaker 1>is more is more like you know what they call

0:03:02.836 --> 0:03:07.876
<v Speaker 1>a cookie monster, like where it's like you know a

0:03:07.876 --> 0:03:11.756
<v Speaker 1>lot of that, and with Blackmail it's more a lot

0:03:11.836 --> 0:03:15.636
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it is more like like more just

0:03:16.516 --> 0:03:21.116
<v Speaker 1>higher and yeah and just sounds much crazier in my opinion.

0:03:22.036 --> 0:03:24.436
<v Speaker 1>All this and more so much more is part of

0:03:24.436 --> 0:03:28.436
