“There’s no right or wrong way. You just have to find your way and whatever works for you. I’ve worked with artists who do it completely different ways,” Rubin said. He said that Eminem was always writing in notebooks. When asked if he was writing material to use, Eminem told Rubin, “99% of what I write I’ll never use. It’s just to stay engaged in the process of writing and finding new ways to write so that when I need it, it just comes.”

Speaking of Jay-Z, he said, “Jay-Z doesn’t write anything down and he just listens to the beat and hums, hums, and then goes on the mic 20 minutes later and says a whole complicated verse. I don’t know how he can remember it much less have just written it and just be able to do it like freely. It’s crazy.”

He added that Jay-Z would also emphasize different parts of the song in different takes so that the emotion changes, but the basic lyrics remain the same.
