---------------------------------------------------------
In this clip, Rakim broke down his writing process. Being regarded as one of, if not the greatest MC of all time, Rakim revealed some of the difficulties he runs into while writing. He spoke about the inability to turn his ideas off, and how being his own harshest critic can sometimes be detrimental.
On the flip side, Rakim talked about meditating as a way to conjure up inspiration and says it allows him to tap into the 'higher source' through which his gift of writing originates.

If I was an interviewer interviewing Rakim the God. I would ask him what happened to your spirituality that allowed your music to change so much when you separated from Eric B. compared to the music that used to make with him? I know questions like this generate nasty comments and all that, like I'm trying to insult somebody. But I'm not. It's a question, a legitimate one at that.

This is the most open I’ve ever seen Rakim in an interview. Don’t know if it’s Tourè cracking the shell or if Ra has chosen to finally share more of himself. In every other interview, Ra seems stuck in a cool pose and comes off as guarded and inarticulate - stark contrast to Rakim in the booth. The extent to which he’s guarded, in my opinion, has hurt him as an emcee. It has kept him from developing as a live performer and delivering live performances on par with BDK, PE, KRS, Busta, De La, LL, Moe Dee and other contemporaries.
