157522, You just keep going a long way around to avoid the truth

You brought up the lip syncing indecent to try and show stage shows were falling off before hip hop became the dominate force in black music. The problem with that is lip syncing had been around for years but wasn't accepted as something you could do on stage in front of a paying audience... as you even pointed out people were pissed. Which shows you the standards were still there. Even 6-7 years later with the Milli Vanilla tape skip incident people were upset and felt cheated someone was lip syncing at a live show. That time line takes us into the early 90s and shows people still weren't accepting lip syncing in a live setting. Flash forward a few decades to people calling Kanye's Coachella performance amazing and phenomenal... something happened between the early 90s & today and it has zero to do with lip syncing.

We can debate shit all you want but don't try and spin it like I don't know what the fuck I'm trying to say just because you want to introduce "evidence" that's faulty.
