1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. If you listen to 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: and appreciate popular music covering any major genre, you listen 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: to Rick Ruben's music. Arguably the most influential producer of 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: the last forty years, Rick has worked with just about everybody. 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: You've got jay Z, Johnny Cash, the Chili Peppers, Got Guys, 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: Sharon Adele, the list goes on and on. The albums 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: and songs he's produced have sold hundreds of millions of 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: copies worldwide, So it's clear that he understands what people 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: like to hear. But that's why it's all the more 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: surprising that Rick just told sixty minutes. When he's making music, 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: his philosophy is the audience comes last, saying the audience 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: doesn't know what they want, They only know what's come 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: before figuring out what someone else will like. Might work 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: for someone else, but it isn't for me. We're trying 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: to tap into a feeling, something that makes you want 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: to lean forward and pay more attention. It all has 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: to do with the artist. The whole thing is spiritual. 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: It's magic. The audience is last towards the Rick Rubin. 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: If you're looking for a little inspiration Rick's new book 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: The Creative Act, A Way of Being, is out now. 21 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood
