And it's not the process that's
brought you to this place,

if I'm being honest with you.

127
00:06:28,488 --> 00:06:31,024
No, I mean where are we
in the creative process?

128
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:32,292
Where are you?

129
00:06:32,326 --> 00:06:34,094
Oh, so you don't mean literally.

130
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:35,429
That's a thing
that I keep seeing people do‐‐

131
00:06:35,462 --> 00:06:36,997
they‐they say "literally"

132
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:38,398

the exact opposite

133
00:06:38,432 --> 00:06:39,700
‐of "literally."
‐Okay, tell me what you want.

134
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:42,269
Uh, so, I'm working
on my debut album,

135
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:45,005
and it feels like I've been
doing that for my whole life,

136
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:46,707
'cause it's, like, my debut.
And, uh, you know,

137
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,308
I'm kind of, like,
a rare situation,

138
00:06:48,342 --> 00:06:51,144
where I occupy
this hyperspecific niche

139
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:53,013
in the musical archival.

140
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:56,183
So I kind of have to, like,
inject comedic elements into it.

141
00:06:56,216 --> 00:07:00,053
But I also feel like I'm as real
as it possibly can get.

142
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:02,523
Um, but I am
a "dick and fart joke" man

143
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:04,158
at the end of the day,
no doubt about it.

144
00:07:04,191 --> 00:07:06,160
My struggle is I kind of
always feel like I'm saying

145
00:07:06,193 --> 00:07:08,495
way too much yet nothing at all

146
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:10,164
at the exact same time,
and, uh...

147
00:07:10,197 --> 00:07:11,999
I don't know, man.
I feel like there's, like,

148
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:14,101
a deeper level of artistry
that I can tap into if I...

149
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:17,171
You have a loathing
for where you come from

150
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:20,140
but a fear
that it's all you have.

151
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:25,045
Yeah.

152
00:07:25,078 --> 00:07:26,713

unless I'm making music, so...

261
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:28,448
It would be a waste of time
if you were to record

266
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,091
Well, creativity

267
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:40,360
is best when the sense of "self"

268
00:12:40,394 --> 00:12:41,662

I should tell you guys right now

274
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,173
I am not at all into,
like, anything spiritual

275
00:12:53,207 --> 00:12:56,543

Everywhere you go, no?

285
00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:17,231
‐Uh, yeah, okay...
‐Rick thinks

286
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,700
that you follow
this instinct blindly.

287
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:21,768
‐Blindly?
‐What's past that‐‐

288
00:13:21,802 --> 00:13:23,570
how can you know?

289
00:13:23,604 --> 00:13:26,473

ten seconds of silence.

that would've proven your point,

292
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:42,723
but I'm certain it would've
proven mine... you both would've

293

laughing, smacking the floor.

But I know that about you,
because we had to travel

529
00:26:04,164 --> 00:26:06,266
through your idiot mind
to even get to this level.

530
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,068
You literally ate a Black man.

531
00:26:08,101 --> 00:26:09,536
You ate Gata.

532
00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:11,572
How overt can you get?

533
00:26:11,605 --> 00:26:14,007
Overt?
I don't‐I don't even get it.

534
00:26:14,041 --> 00:26:15,676
‐Ugh, I can't...
‐Appropriation?

535
00:26:15,709 --> 00:26:17,578
I really can't explain
everything to you.

536
00:26:17,611 --> 00:26:19,546
I can, but I don't want to.

537
00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:21,415
‐But I could.
‐I'm just, like,

538
00:26:21,448 --> 00:26:23,317
not well‐equipped to understand

539
00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:26,053
this type of, uh, uh, shit.
You know?

540
00:26:26,086 --> 00:26:28,188
I didn't even understand
Men in Black the first time.

541
00:26:28,222 --> 00:26:30,190
I get it now, and it's
actually a very simple...

542
00:26:30,224 --> 00:26:31,525
Aren't you here
to make better music?

543
00:26:32,726 --> 00:26:34,595
I came to Rick Rubin's
to make better music,

544
00:26:34,628 --> 00:26:36,430
and now I‐I...
What realm is thi...

545
00:26:36,463 --> 00:26:38,332
I mean, I don't know.
Are you Rick Rubin?

546
00:26:38,365 --> 00:26:40,033
(gasps)

547
00:26:40,067 --> 00:26:41,301
There he is!

548
00:26:41,335 --> 00:26:44,304
Come here,
my sweet little metaphor.

549
00:26:44,338 --> 00:26:46,673
What the fuck is that?

550
00:26:47,774 --> 00:26:50,077
That's Double A, the anteater.

551
00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:53,146
You wouldn't know it, but
the suck power on his snout‐‐

552
00:26:53,180 --> 00:26:55,182
tremendo.

553
00:26:55,215 --> 00:26:57,718
Double A? But wouldn't it be
"AE" for anteater?

554
00:26:57,751 --> 00:26:59,319
That's a typo.

555
00:26:59,353 --> 00:27:01,555
Shut up!

556
00:27:01,588 --> 00:27:03,457
All right, sorry.

557
00:27:03,490 --> 00:27:05,559
Listen to me.
I'm here to help you.

558
00:27:05,592 --> 00:27:07,294
This could solve everything.

559
00:27:07,327 --> 00:27:09,563
Look at this‐‐ look at
everything that I could be.

560
00:27:09,596 --> 00:27:11,565
Look, it's kind of hard to take
any of this seriously,

561
00:27:11,598 --> 00:27:14,334
to be honest with you.
Uh, your fucking outfit's

562
00:27:14,368 --> 00:27:16,303
insane, there's an anteater,
you're talking

563
00:27:16,336 --> 00:27:19,273
about suck power, it's like...
All this is very humorous.

564
00:27:19,306 --> 00:27:20,741
And I feel like, you know,
they were saying

565
00:27:20,774 --> 00:27:22,309
that that's a crutch.

566
00:27:22,342 --> 00:27:23,677
And that I rely
on my humor and...

567
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:24,711
What do you mean,
humor as a crutch?

568
00:27:24,745 --> 00:27:26,313
What are you talking about?

569
00:27:26,346 --> 00:27:28,282
You're a humorous guy.
You like making jokes.

570
00:27:28,315 --> 00:27:29,716
What's wrong with that?
I've seen you be serious.

571
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:32,052
I know you have
the capability of being serious.

572
00:27:32,085 --> 00:27:33,420
You made a song
about your ex‐girlfriend,

573
00:27:33,453 --> 00:27:34,454
how much you love her.

574
00:27:34,488 --> 00:27:36,323
Wasn't that true, real, serious?

575
00:27:36,356 --> 00:27:37,524
You also made a song
about your dick sucking.

576
00:27:37,558 --> 00:27:39,726
Funny, but true, real serious.

577
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,562
Don't change who you are.

578
00:27:41,595 --> 00:27:43,030
Who the fuck are these people
telling you to do that?

579
00:27:43,063 --> 00:27:44,698
Stop worrying
about being highbrow

580
00:27:44,731 --> 00:27:46,567
or lowbrow.

581
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,669
Just be...

582
00:27:48,702 --> 00:27:51,038
no brow.

583
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:55,175
Huh, okay.

584
00:27:55,209 --> 00:27:56,610
I hear that.

585
00:27:56,643 --> 00:27:58,478
But...

586
00:27:58,512 --> 00:28:00,347
Wait, so you're saying

587
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:02,182
that your main message here

588
00:28:02,216 --> 00:28:05,452
is more or less
for me to "be myself"?

589
00:28:05,485 --> 00:28:08,455
Because that is so basic,

590
00:28:08,488 --> 00:28:10,057
and going through
all that for that...

591
00:28:10,090 --> 00:28:12,125
‐You're basic.
‐But I guess me acknowledging

592
00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:14,561
that basicness
is‐is far from basic.

593
00:28:14,595 --> 00:28:16,263
If I'm, like,
so aware of that basicity,

594
00:28:16,296 --> 00:28:18,165
and I guess that's what's
happening right now,

595
00:28:18,198 --> 00:28:20,400
even my innermost thing is,
like, uh, so...

596
00:28:20,434 --> 00:28:23,470
‐maybe this is actually
incredibly poignant. Um...
‐I'm sorry, everybody.

597
00:28:23,504 --> 00:28:25,706
This guy's over here arguing
with himself, I know.

598
00:28:25,739 --> 00:28:27,441
‐We should have better...
‐And you know what?
I should be a better person.

599
00:28:27,474 --> 00:28:29,209
I don't want to gloss over that.

600
00:28:29,243 --> 00:28:31,078
I saw all of those things
for a reason, and if my, like,

601
00:28:31,111 --> 00:28:32,546
innermost thoughts are telling
me that it doesn't matter...

602
00:28:32,579 --> 00:28:34,081
Oh, my God, yes.

603
00:28:34,114 --> 00:28:35,549
Be a better person, of course.

604
00:28:35,582 --> 00:28:37,084
You really need to come here
to realize that?

605
00:28:37,117 --> 00:28:38,585
Duh, be a good person.

606
00:28:38,619 --> 00:28:41,188
But... how on earth

607
00:28:41,221 --> 00:28:43,690
is that gonna help you
make better music?

608
00:28:43,724 --> 00:28:47,060
I don't... see the parallel.

609
00:28:47,094 --> 00:28:49,696
You want to know
what your real crutch is?

610
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:52,166
Overanalyzing.

611
00:28:52,199 --> 00:28:54,434

takes, variation‐‐
it's just endless.

614
00:29:00,340 --> 00:29:02,176
You wonder why
you don't get anywhere.

615
00:29:02,209 --> 00:29:05,045
So... they tell you

616
00:29:05,078 --> 00:29:07,281
don't be funny?

617
00:29:07,314 --> 00:29:09,283

You already have it.

I am you.

636
00:29:58,031 --> 00:30:02,169
I've been down here
this whole time.

637
00:30:02,202 --> 00:30:04,137
Waiting.

638
00:30:04,171 --> 00:30:06,206
Oh.

639
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,142
So I've been holding me down.

640
00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:11,678
Exactly.

641
00:30:11,712 --> 00:30:13,614
And you should be

642
00:30:13,647 --> 00:30:16,250
holding me down.

643
00:30:19,219 --> 00:30:21,021
Whoa, wow, what...

644
00:30:22,222 --> 00:30:23,690
I'm sorry.

645
00:30:23,724 --> 00:30:25,692
I thought there was something...

646
00:30:25,726 --> 00:30:28,562
And I get it.
But do you?

647
00:30:28,595 --> 00:30:31,698

Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
How long has he been in here?!

654
00:30:47,214 --> 00:30:49,149
I thought you were
getting him out.

655
00:30:49,183 --> 00:30:50,284

His mouth is full of water,
he swallowed his tongue,
