Respect


What more can you say about a guy who started Def Jam out of his college dorm room with Russell Simmons that started a revolution. Just look at a portion of the albums he's produced. Its almost reads like a bio of my life. There are a few great producers today, most of them stay in their lane. What separates Rick from them is the ability to look and live in all lanes equally, whether its LL Cool J, Slayer, Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, Jay Z or the Dixie Chicks. Who does that?

(just of portion of discography)
LL Cool J: Radio
Slayer: Reign in Blood
Run D.M.C.: Raising Hell
The Cult: Electric
Beastie Boys: Licensed to Ill
Public Enemy: It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (Ex. Prod)
Danzig: Danzig
The Black Crowes- Shake Your Money Maker
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Californication
NIN: Further Down the Spiral
Johnny Cash: Unchained
System of a Down: Self titled, Toxicity
Rage Against the Machine: Renegades
Jay Z: 99 Problems
Neil Diamond: 12 Songs
Dixie Chicks: Taking the Long Way
Metallica: Death Magnetic

I mean c'mon are you f@cking kidding me..
