    Rick Rubin Revisits The Birthplace of Def Jam
    POSTED

    Following on from his candid chat with Zane Lowe for BBC Radio 1 earlier this year, another nice slice of Rick Rubin related viewing has popped up around the label’s 30th anniversary.

    Rolling Stone magazine recently took Rubin back to the birthplace of Def Jam records i.e. his college dorm room at New York University.

    In the documentary Rick Was Here, Rubin as well as Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons, former label president Lyor Cohen, rappers LL Cool J & The Beastie’s Ad-Rock as well as Rick’s roommate recall the early years of the now iconic label.
     

    *judging by the pic above we’re guessing Rick’s mom didn’t throw away his best porno mag.
