Raekwon recently chopped it up with Complex about having longevity in the music industry, along with his thoughts on Craig Mack's untimely death.

When speaking about his career, Raekwon said, "I think it’s the fact that people have seen me make a classic, but also seen me do it a couple of times."

He added, "I think what keeps me around is that they are able to see me in my element. They say, “'Yo, he come from something legendary, and he still here. He didn't tilt his music to be something that it’s not. He stayed true to himself, you know. I’m visible."

While speaking on the "sad" situation of rappers his age passing away, Raekwon spoke on Craig Mack's death, saying, "That shit blew my heart away, man. He's a good dude. It's just sad, I had a friend who passed away recently with a heart failure situation as well. We just got to realize that we got to take care of ourselves a little bit more, watch what we putting in our bodies, and exercise a little more. It’s just f***ed up, man. I feel bad for his babies, his mom, and his family in general. He's a decorated MC in the game, and he's going to be here regardless of what."
