Rick Rubin reveals the three completely different creative processes used by Eminem, Jay-Z, and Anthony Kiedis "Eminem will always be writing in a book, always writing all the time. I asked him, are all these rhymes used? He's like no, 99% of what I write I'll never use, just... to stay engaged in the process of writing" "Jay-Z doesn't write anything down. He listens to the beat, hums, then goes on the mic 20 minutes later and just says a whole complicated verse. No paper, no writing, nothing" "Anthony Kiedis sings along with an idea of a melody but he doesn't yet have words, just nonsense words automatically real time, then listens back and says this phrase sounds good. It's like a puzzle"show more

I know this isn’t LinkedIn, but there’s actually a helpful business lesson here. Don’t insist your team follow your creative process. Just insist they find theirs.

@MasculineEgo_ This is the power of writing. That notebook isn't a storage unit. It's a gym. Eminem doesn't write to remember bars. He writes to stay sharp. Don't wait for inspiration, practice writing daily and let inspiration find them mid-sentence.

Three world class artists. Three completely different processes. Most people spend years trying to borrow a process before realizing the right one has to be built around them.

A lot of famous artists do this where the come up with the idea for the song and hum it first, the words come after the song idea is basically done. Saw an interview with Sia talking about this same thing. Aspiring artists tend to struggle with this concept and focus on lyrics.

And all three are valid. I hate the whole "Jay-Z is the GOAT" argument because he never writes anything down. Who cares about that. It doesn't make you a better artist because you have a good memory.

Morgan Housel will never use AI to write. To him, it defeats the whole purpose of writing. "The process of writing is what gets the author thinking. When they write a book, they didn't have all that knowledge in their head. They started out with one brave sentence, and then that taught them something. If you're using any kind of LLM to do any of the broad structure for you, you're not actually thinking. You stripped out everything that was good about writing." He'll use it for research, as a "Google on steroids." But even then he argues that the research process is different: "When you're doing the reps of research, it's gonna hit you in a different way."

J. Cole speaks on his writing process as a full time dad: ✍️ “I write my best in solitude. Like not just like, oh, l'm in a room by myself. I’m full time dad.. if I go to a hotel room where I could just be in a hotel room all day, write all day, listen to music all day, make a beat all day, fall asleep while working on the beat, wake up, open a laptop, and press play on the beat again. If I get two, three days of solitude.. that's when l'm like super tapped in.”

Conor Neill: "If you can't write it clearly, the thinking was weak, not the writing" "To believe that something that feels clear in your head is thinking that's a very dangerous thing. When you try to put it down on a page, when you try to lay out your ideas in a structured order that someone else can digest, and you realize that you can't, I suggest the thinking was weak, not the writing." Neill explains his philosophy: "Writing is thinking. The process of taking a notepad, capturing thoughts, laying out the things that I'm thinking about, that is thinking. Sitting and staring out a window, maybe with a cigarette, whatever it is that you think is philosophizing that is not structured thinking. It's only when you're writing down and structuring, getting order into your thoughts on a page so that another person is able to get into the context, the perspective, the different things that you are pulling in to have your worldview." He shares a simple technique: "No matter what you are writing, whether it's an email, a Word document, when you've got a blank sheet of paper, start with the word 'This.' T-H-I-S. Starting with the word 'This' forces you to explain what the document is. It forces you to articulate to the reader what it is that they are holding. It forces you to describe why this document exists, what the objective is. And if you begin with the objective, it helps the reader, and it helps you articulate clearly why you are taking the time to write." Neill shares the most-read post on his blog: "The one post that has got far more views than any other is a post I wrote called 'Why Amazon Banned PowerPoint.' In Amazon, if a presenter wishes to ask people to agree to a budget, to agree to give them resources, they don't use PowerPoint. They write a six-page Word document that states why they are asking for the money and the resources." He explains Jeff Bezos's reasoning: "PowerPoint is easy for the presenter, but it's hard for the people who listen. Writing a six-page essay is hard for the presenter, but it's a lot easier for the people that get to read the document." And there's a second part to the Amazon method: "In the management meeting, the first 20 minutes is reading time. If you have gone to the effort to write six pages explaining your proposal, you deserve to see your work read. You deserve to sit there and see people reading through your work. People will not read before the meeting. The only way you get people to fully digest the six pages is by holding them there for 20 minutes, reading through, noting down their questions. No debate, no discussion until everyone in the room has read all six pages, has taken in the context, has time to think about what they would like to question. After 20 minutes of silent reading, they can have a discussion but an informed discussion." Neill shares a second insight about writing: "Divide writing from editing. Writing is producing words. Editing is improving words. These two processes — you cannot run at the same time." He explains his approach: "Most writers just vomit out a bad first draft. I personally have learned to produce 500 words in one straight blast. If something's wrong, if I need to check a fact, if I want to go back and fix something, I don't. I go 500 words of just getting it out onto the page. When I've got 500 words, then I'll stop and begin the process of editing." Neill shares what great writers understand: "All great writing is rewriting. It's editing. It's the crafting of taking a bad, crappy first draft and slowly iterating it, improving it 1% each time through. But if you haven't got that first draft, there's nothing to improve." He explains how separating these processes changed everything: "Learning to separate these two was one of the most powerful things to get rid of writer's block, to get rid of getting stuck, to get rid of procrastination. My mission when I sit down to write is: decide, am I writing or editing? If it's writing, get 500 bad words down on the page in the next 20 minutes. If it's editing, take the time to go through, improve sentences, change the order, change the structure. But these are two separate processes." Neill reveals the truth about good writing: "Some of my best articles started out as a bad blog post. Then I rewrote it as an article to give out to students. Then I rewrote it to share on another blog. Then I rewrote it to provide to a magazine. It's the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth time of rewriting where it starts to be something that other people read and say, 'Wow, you're quite good at writing.' And the answer is I'm not good at writing. I vomit out a bad first draft and then go through this iterative process. One time, two times, three times, four times through slowly improving. But if you have no first draft, there's nothing to improve."

I know what he heard. He heard himself, he heard his story, he heard all the stories of New Yorkers. People come to New York to win. We don't come to fail.” Hunte: “I know this sounds crazy, but you don’t know who you’re writing for. But it wasn’t until we were finished, and I was like, “This would be great for Jay-Z.’ ‘Cause you just see him and, like, a holographic picture of Frank Sinatra on the Empire State Building, and I remember that’s when the idea kind of spawned to send it.” She continues, “Jon [Platt], our publisher, took it to Jay, I believe, or however he did it ... and then I remember getting the text back like, ‘he [Jay-Z] loves this record, and he believes you just changed his life.’ If you hear the original record … it’s a beautiful song, and the fact that he heard what he could do. That’s always going to be mind-boggling to me, like he heard through that.”

What's wrong with writing with AI? Alain deBotton says: "I don't just write to produce a certain numbers of words. I write in order to honor certain feelings, and AI can't know those feelings because it's not me. It doesn't know what I want to say. And if I simply give my writing over to AI, it will crush my nascent sense about what it is I really want to say."

Eminem reveals the obsessive system behind his lyrics: In a rare interview, Eminem is challenged on the old saying that nothing rhymes with "orange." His response shows how his mind actually works: "People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything and that kind of pisses me off because I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange." He explains that the trick is in the annunciation. If you take the word at face value, nothing rhymes with it exactly. But if you stretch it into more than one syllable, the whole language opens up: "You could say like 'I put my orange four-inch door hinge in storage and ate porridge with George.' You just have to figure out the science to breaking down words." When asked if he thinks about this throughout the day, his answer is striking: "Yeah, all day. I actually drive myself insane with it." What makes this more remarkable is where he came from. By his own admission, he was in the ninth grade three times and hated school. But one subject always stuck: "No matter how bad I was at school, and no matter how low my grades might have been at sometimes, I always was good at English." So he taught himself the only way he knew how. He read the dictionary. "I just felt like I want to be able to have all these words at my disposal in my vocabulary at all times whenever I need to pull them out. Somewhere they'll be stored like locked away." But the words aren't just locked away in his head. He keeps them in physical boxes filled with hundreds of scraps of paper, scribbled wherever he happens to be, including hotel notepads from Paris. The handwriting is so tiny the interviewer can barely read it, but Eminem knows exactly what each scrap says. "They're not lyrics really. They're just ideas."

You just have to figure out the science to breaking down words." When asked if he thinks about this throughout the day, his answer is striking: "Yeah, all day. I actually drive myself insane with it." What makes this more remarkable is where he came from. By his own admission, he was in the ninth grade three times and hated school. But one subject always stuck: "No matter how bad I was at school, and no matter how low my grades might have been at sometimes, I always was good at English." So he taught himself the only way he knew how. He read the dictionary. "I just felt like I want to be able to have all these words at my disposal in my vocabulary at all times whenever I need to pull them out. Somewhere they'll be stored like locked away." But the words aren't just locked away in his head. He keeps them in physical boxes filled with hundreds of scraps of paper, scribbled wherever he happens to be, including hotel notepads from Paris. The handwriting is so tiny the interviewer can barely read it, but Eminem knows exactly what each scrap says. "They're not lyrics really. They're just ideas."

ok but I'm obsessed with charlie's confidence and attitude in the film, he doesn't take shit from anyone and he's never shy from expressing how he feels like how he used to do at the start of the series and I absolutely love this detail in writing and joe's acting
