SameOldShawn: What was a routine?

Rahiem: Well a routine, to simplify it in today’s terms, would be a song, but a song that wasn’t recorded at the time because this was prior to rap music being embraced by the music industry. So, I was pretty much the one that spearheaded the whole singing and rap - you know, mixing those two elements together. The routines we did at that time were indicative of that. We took old Jackson Five songs and I would remix the lyrics and do my best to sound as close to Michael as I could. The other guys would back me up, and so that was much of the routine that I speak of
