Who’s House? Lyor’s House!
Tuesday, September 22 2009 1:27 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanLy-or. This post’s about Ly-or. The CEO of rap let the NY Times into his home and answered a gang of questions. With candor and charisma, he bigs up everyone from P.E. to Jay-Z to the man who made Def Jam before him.
HOME HOMAGE: My house is dedicated to Rick Rubin. My day-to-day experience is fundamentally in honor of things I learned from Rick. The first day I saw him in his N.Y.U. dorm room, he was in pain because he couldn’t find the perfect colors for the Def Jam record sleeve. That’s when I learned attention to detail.
Overall, it’s a nice read.

Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
good interview that provides insight. thanks yn and bdot
