Ok. So, at first I was questioning whether or not the "internet" was helping or killing the music industry. Well not exactly the music industry, but the Hip Hop music industry. Because older people still actually go out & purchase their preferred genre of music. But never-the-less, the epidemic of the "debate" could go both ways. Pause. Now, I won't go in depth, but I will say that it is definetly helping the industry because artists are getting FREE marketing & advertisement, as well as opening new doorways for artists who would've never stood a chance without it. But, on the other hand, the internet prevents every & anything from being "exclusive." Meaning, whether its, a new album, a song/remix, a video, behind the scenes footage (which really isn't behind the scenes anymore), battles, concerts, or anything that used to be anticipated, is now right at our fingertips. One click away. Now my point to all this, sorry, I know I said I was going to keep this short. But my point to all this is that I was excited to see Drake perform, live in person, but I saw so much footage of his performances that I felt like it wasn't worth going to a show. I felt like I had seen what his performance had to offer. Not that they weren't good shows, but why would I pay to see him do the same songs that I just watched him perform on youtube from the next state over. Understanding? Now, the moral is I now can respect & appreciate what Drizzy is bringing to the table (even more) after watching this video because they made me realize that he spits an new freestyle (off the top. pause) at almost, if not everyone of his shows. Now, thats exclusive. That is what hip hop needs.

And I would still go to the show, before & after I say this video. Lol. But now you get my point. Oh yah, Drake is bringing light skinned dudes back. Lol. Not that we ever left. But his mom is white/Jewish & his dad is black from Memphis, TN. Video from RapRadar.
