Russell & Rick Rubin Go Back In Time

If by watching "Run's House" you never got an idea of what it's like to talk to Russell Simmons, here is yet another opportunity. Rick Rubin is there and apparently a part of this conversation/interview, but it more or less turns into a monologue when Uncle Rush is prompted to speak. 

He doesn't seem to need much of a reason to share his jewels of knowledge, just a slight nudge and THAR SHE BLOWS!! Really though, it's good game. He's so matter of fact it's hilarious and Rubin just sits there cause he knows it's the truth. Guess that's the life of a mogul. 

They appear to be on their way to the "VH1 Hip Hop Honors," where the night is being held to uplift the label they started. Both men are visibly happy to be celebrating such an auspicious occasion, even if LL Cool J couldn't be there. 

"LL Cool J has become an amazing person," Simmons says in the video. "He's also consistently been hot. He's hot now on CSI. It's been a lot of years. He was the first artist on Def Jam and he can't be here right now because of how hot he is right now. And it's a real thing. He would love to be here. He would love to perform, but he really got something very important that he's doing right now."
