As Rubin became infatuated with a new movement called hip-hop, his room became 'a swirl of 12-inch records, dirty t-shirts, tennis shoes and numerous turntables in various states of despair.' It also became the site from which a chain of historic events unfolded. Jazzy Jay, T La Rock, The Bestie Boys, LL Cool J and Def Jam Records all emerged from room 712 in Weinstein Hall.
