Teddy Riley vs Babyface on IG Live (Rematch on Monday @ 8PM ET)

[Hyman Roth]

The thing is IG live weren't a problem for Neyo/Johnta and T-Pain/Jon but once the old folks started getting involved we need to move to YouTube or Twitch? What makes you think they'll know how to use that either? We've all got that Grandparent who holds a facetime call to their ear...

I want t pain and lil jon to do a part two, that was the most entertaining streams I've seen on IG ever

 

[Awesome Wells]

I bet any amount of money that this nikka had that production crew because he was tryna set it up to keep the footage and maybe put it on some kind of documentary or some shyt once media opens back up.

Word.

Ted was filming shyt for himself and trying to stream it live to his site too. LOL!! He's been trying to monetize the battle from the beginning. And all that extra nonsense is exactly what killed the whole thing for everyone last night.

Even when it works IG Live is still trash. You gotta jump through too many hoops trying to get this shyt with decent quality. People want to run this through their tv and good speakers, no their fukking phone.

The whole setup is wasted potential. Like another poster said, someone gonna jump in and actually do this shyt right and Swizz gonna just sit there complaining and shyt.

Teddy had an entire production cast on his side and it was still bad. Lol

It's wack too because it kind of made him look either insecure or that he was trying to piggyback off babyface's legacy with it. Even if neither are true, and he was just trying to make a buck, it took away from the purity of these events regardless.

Will they really be elevating the experience, or basically watering it down and sucking the fun out of it?

The viewer experience would be elevated.

Having the option to watch these on our TVs and listen to these over real speakers is a better experience. That's not watering it down, that's taking some bootleg iteration of an idea and improving on it.

NAw, nikka, my moms hold the phone to her face like she looking through a magnifying glass its terrible

I feel you but this was meant to just be a bit of fun to help us get through the lockdown even with the car crash that was last night the good heavily outweighs the bad that's came from these battles.

I think Teddy and older artist don't understand the more gorilla style of media most people are making.

But, I understand him wanting to have a production and monetizing it.

People are really upset he doesn't want to do this for nothing.

Well then he shouldn't have agreed to it. There's no overhead in sitting in a room, kicking back, and putting on a playlist for people that hold your work close to their hearts when they're at their lowest. My wife is a yoga instructor and since this pandemic happened, we've set up her studio with nice equipment to turn it into an online platform. However, because she loves what she does, she's decided to make all of her classes payment optional, no matter who signs up. We put up our own time and money to make this happen and without the expectation making anything off of it, so he could have done the same and either just sat it out altogether or played by the same rules and just did it it for the love like everyone else has.

This is supposed to be a production. Obviously the stakes have been raised since they first started these due to current circumstances, and as a result they need to adapt. When one of these other social media or tech companies figure it out and either create a new option or upgrade their existing services to do this better, you'll see...



If y'all don't realize why IG isn't ideal for this shyt I don't know what to tell you at this point.
