Everything Jacob Collier says and do is utterly boring and primitive. The "complexity", "genius" and "talent" is some kind of projection on him coming from the mentally limited people in his audience. People want to be him, so they attach all those imaginary epithets on him. Then just because he is nice like a manipulative salesman, he can get away with anything. The music sucks bad and is beyond the horizon of hell. The music and the spoken word from Collier sucks like a black hole. But even worse is that his salesman talent is overshadowing everything about and around him. He is even potentially able to sell "assisted suicide" service in Switzerland to the most happy people in his own audience. He is the false prophet more popular than the original prophet, also with the initials JC.

This interview demonstrates that the genius of Jacob does not solely derive from his musical skills or abilities, but rather from his thought process and creative thinking. He exhibits remarkable self-awareness and intelligence, enabling him to deconstruct every complex idea he conveys through his music. It is rare to find someone engaged in such a creative process and capable of articulating it so succinctly.

This interview made me realize that what I love most about Jacob Collier isn't his talent, or his arrangements or... even his performances, all of which are of course *mind blowing*. It's how well he understands himself and how much he loves who is and what he does. To me, that is the single most inspiring thing about him, and it is absolutely electric. That's the inner understanding that I think I am always striving for as a musician.

I am not one to usually comment on videos but Jacob legit said “He’s not a genius” and I interpreted most of this interview as someone who just loves to create. He isn’t trying to flip the industry on its head or make some huge impact. He’s just having fun and doing what he loves to do. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Folks who put titles on others who didn’t even ask for that shouldn’t be blamed for it. If his music or philosophy doesn’t resonate with you, I’m pretty sure that’s okay because all that means is he isn’t for you. “Different strokes for different folks”

There are many aspects to this of course. He's a baritone which gives his voice a very nice depth & tone. His accent is received pronunciation. An English accent associated with the BBC of yore. He went to a private school in North London and they'd've all largely spoken 'posh'. I think this is another aspect of him just being himself. Having a posh accent can often be derided as being privileged or self entitled for example. That's often why some people affect a different accent, 'mockney' or multicultural London, in order to fit in and be seen to be cool. JC doesn't suffer from such self consciousness and speaks just the way he always did. It's another example of him being just himself and whatever one's accent it's fine.

It is not only for the good fortune of the individual to have a talent such as his to be fostered through a privileged upbringing, but it is such great fortune for the true enrichment of culture. There has definitely also been an element of cultural timing, that he speaks of here, to allow acceptance of such privilege, in a way that avoids the limitations of the typical reverse-snobbery that we can even see in this short comment thread.

He breaks every preconception I have about writing music. Normally I would make an argument that joyful songs are always uninspired, unemotional, and boring because joy isn't a creatively compelling emotion in the way that sadness, anger, longing, resent, regret, etc. are.. For someone like me lyrics and music are therapy so they are turned to in times of need... and in the few instances where Artists have made happy sounding music artistic, the lyrics typically juxtapose the happy music with a dark flare. Think Beatles, Guster, DMB, etc. Yet all of Jacob's music seems to come from a place of Joy and it's extremely inspired, and emotionally compelling. He is truly inspiring.

I love the part about Rick Rubin, Of all the content I've been witness of from Jacob, his speech is rarely confrontational. But, in this moment he has a direct counter opinion of Rick's book which provides a creatively refined outlook. Rick Rubin and Jacob Collier, two people that are creative idols, two people that are about art in it's rawest form, can still have differing outlooks on where that purity is the most refined. Two sides of the same coin. It's quite a beautiful juxtaposition.

I personally think Jacob is misunderstanding Ricks philosophy. Rick doesn't think there is one way to make anything, completely the opposite actually. What he does believe, fervently, is that if your focus while making art is solely on the audience, you will lose your way. Art should have deep meaning to you the creator and secondarily to the consumer.

Jacob really missed the mark here. Rick’s perspective, for anyone interested, is to prompt openness and to question the nature of art itself. Listen to any of his long form talks or the artists who he collaborates with. Jacob was clearly projecting his own stuff onto the text as if Rick assumes himself to be some sort of guru. This is how he is perceived culturally by many who don’t actually investigate or orient themselves to his work.

I think he felt protective of his own drive to create for others. I could totally see where he was coming from, even though I'm currently enjoying Rick Rubin's book.

He just basically wants to have like a boxing match with another wonderful artist on the planet, and I can't wait to see that conversation!

I was really struck by how strongly Jacob spoke against Rick Rubin ideas and his book. Great interview!

That's the 2nd comment I've read like this... I can't wait to get to that part... but I don't want to ffwd😮😂. I didn't read any of Rick's books, but I saw a couple interviews... I think I must've missed the problematic stuff, so I'm curious to hear about what Jacob noticed.

i would definitely recommend reading the creative act by rick. i think jacob misunderstood the core message. which is why a long form conversation between the two is so needed. there's alot to uncover@@GizzyDillespee

At no point does he actually say "I'm not a genius" -- it may be an alienating title to bestow upon him, but he knows he is one

Amazing talk, especially about "messy action" or happy accidents that are part of the process. His wisdom is unmatched.

Did you notice that Jacob's clothing colors are in composé with the curtain in the background, the two rolls on the side wall, the 2 colored books against the wall, and the hanging strings?

This has been so thought provoking. Thanks for being Jacob on to the show and building such a wonderful conversation with him. I’m so inspired to create when I hear him discuss his own story. I’m going to see him in a couple of months playing live in Salt Lake!

I'm hoping Jacob soon gets tired of his own prodigy pretentiousness and has a Debussy moment. In his twenties, Debussy became so tired of his own writing, he was pounding his fists on the piano keyboard in frustration. Then he wrote "Clair de Lune". Jacob won't break through until he starts hating his own composing. Too me, he's waaaay too predictable at this point.

I have seen Jacob in a lot of interviews, on stages, in his room. This interview is the most human and honest exchange of what he stands for. Colin and Samir have crafted the perfect environment for a deep view into his amazing creative mind. So inspiring. Thank you Colin, Samir and Jacob for this content and sharing your views with us. ❤

This was also my first thought. But this is incredibly common in the music industry. Like the Beatles are the music of the boomers but they are all silent generation. It makes sense that the people that are making music that is appealing to the youth are maybe slightly older than those youths themselves

@@willburbur3793 Yeah, that's my guess as to why they chose that title too. But honestly, as a Gen Z, I feel like it would be more accurate to call him the Mozart of Millennials. Or better yet, just say he's the Mozart of our time if you think so highly of him, instead of randomly applying it to Gen Z. Then again, one of the reasons I clicked on this video was because they mentioned Gen Z when I know the dude is a Millennial, so I guess the subtle clickbait worked. I'll add the interview is great, but I just think the title is interesting. No hate at all.

What if... Your generational identity has more to do with your thoughts, ideas, and how you move through the world around you, rather than defaulting to a assignment of expectation based on when you were born? 🤔

@@danepeter5282 That's not how generations work. Everyone who makes an impact is going to make that impact during the generations after them because that's when they're old enough to do things. But that doesn't change what generation they are from. But it's ok, I was mostly just making a joke it's not an important distinction.

What an inspiring, humble guy Jacob is. I love the way he speaks, tells stories, and shares advice in such a selfless way. I super resonated with Participation vs. Contribution. Love this so much.
