The Creative Conductor (Feat. Rick Rubin)

The Creative Conductor (Feat. Rick Rubin)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner May 26, 2023 Duration: 1:35:31
There’s a reason that RICK RUBIN has earned a reputation as one of music’s most talented, savvy and trusted producers over the last four decades: He’s thoughtful, insightful, inquisitive and self-assured. That much is clear throughout his wide-ranging conversation with Point Forward co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER. Rubin — who has worked with everyone from Run-DMC and LL Cool J to Jay Z and Eminem to Adele and the Red Hot Chili Peppers — tells the guys about his upbringing, introduction to hip-hop, founding Def Jam and more, all while dropping countless gems on creativity, originality and finding your path. He released the book “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” earlier this year.  Before sitting down with Rick, Andre tells ET how strange it feels to have his season end in May, the guys talk about the booming collectibles market, and then they share a wild story from a time they faced off against one another in a Warriors-Celtics matchup.  Learn more about your ad choices.
