Every time someone come out with an album don't change the whole style up but don't do what they are expecting. Surprise them.
RakimI don't work out too much. I just do some pushups when I feel the right hook is getting a lil weak.
RakimI only made x amount of albums in 20 years and to still be living comfortably. A lot of people and friends look at me and be like yo Ra how do you do it? You don't go on tour every year and you don't make an album every year, you chill with your family and watch TV. Everyone else is out on tour getting that money. But I managed to do my thing right with the help of my accountant and I'm still comfortable.
