Our contemporary culture achieves its breed as popular art becomes dependent on the latest in technological advancements. The distinguishable artists of our time are those that embrace technology in whatever medium available. For example, artists such as Lil B and Tyler, the Creator can attribute their current success to the accessibility of the internet; while an artist like Kanye, who has gained international fame, realizes greatness in pushing the artistic limits of music videos. Technology, and its cutting-edge brand newness, seems the instrumental ingredient in prominence in popular culture.
Beyonce Knowles has been runnin' shit in the popular music game since Destiny's Child. Her albums go platinum, she tours internationally, everybody thinks her videos are hotter than Taylor Swifts, and she's the baddest bitch in the game, wearing Jay's chain. Aside from this list, Beyonce is an unbelievable performer. As the world becomes increasingly digital, it seems as though there has been a roof over the creative innovations in live performance (with the exception of Kanye at Coachella). At the Billboard Music Awards this year in Las Vegas, Beyonce made major strides in this particular realm, synthesizing live performance art and technology in a much tastier fashion, than say... Deadmau5's cube lightshow...
This shit blew my mind:
Hit the jump for even more swag
At 4:42 of Beyonce's performance, she is accompanied by the Les Twins. These fools are nuts. Peep their lowkey shit below, and see why the biggest names in the business are fuckin with they.
