Rick Rubin and Clipse

Take a look at that photo! I let out a legitimate yelp of joy when I saw it and put two and two together to realize that Rick Rubin is actually going to produce a song (or two if we're lucky) for Clipse's upcoming album.

Then he shifted gears to produce albums for the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Slayer.

Oh yeah, and they've got a song with Kanye. Link.
