Rick Rubin — who has been making music for 40+ years and founded one of hip-hop's most important labels in his dorm room — told David Senra he's a 'lazy workaholic' who has to force himself into the studio every day. He doesn't love the grind of thousands of takes across five months; he's addicted to the singular moment when experimentation clicks and the problem gets solved. Mastery, it turns out, isn't about passion for the daily process — it's about being hooked on the rare breakthrough that only sustained effort produces.
