Introduction
I've been wanting to make an episode on Jimmy Iovine for years. If you were to ask me who would you most like to meet and have a conversation with, he's towards the top of the list of people that I'd love to meet and have a conversation with.
The four-part documentary on his life in partnership with Dr. Dre—it's called the Defiant Ones—it's one of my favorite documentaries of all time. I rewatch it all the time. I've probably seen it more than 10 times, and there's certain parts and clips from it that I've seen over a hundred. And what is fascinating to me is, if you go and search for Defiant Ones, you can read the description of the documentary, and it would say something like: the Defiant Ones tells of the unbreakable bond of trust and friendship between music legends Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, two street-smart men from different worlds who together defied traditional wisdom and transformed contemporary culture in the process.
