Drake
and
Lil
Wayne
have
been
in
the
musical
spotlight
for
years
and
have
dozens
of
songs
that
few
people
could
commit
to
memory
with
perfection.
So
it
was
baffling
to
see
fans
overreact
to
the
revelation
that
Drake
and
Lil
Wayne
employed
a
teleprompter
during
a
recent
concert.
Drake
and
Lil
Wayne
joined
together
onstage
during
a
weekend
stop
in
Sunrise,
Fla.
for
the
Canadian
superstar’s
It’s
All
A
Blur
tour.
The
pair
performed
the
track
“Right
Above
It,”
which
was
a
single
on
Tunechi’s
2010
album,
I
Am
Not
A
Human
Being.
It
was
also
the
theme
song
for
the
HBO
sports
drama
Ballers
featuring
Dwayne
“The
Rock”
Johnson.
Fans
who
either
attended
the
show
or
saw
footage
noticed
that
a
teleprompter
was
used
to
help
the
two
keep
pace
with
the
song,
and
it
doesn’t
appear
that
Drizzy
or
Weezy
skipped
a
beat
during
their
set.
That
said,
a
passionate
debate
was
sparked
with
many
wondering
if
the
use
of
teleprompters
during
a
Hip-Hop
concert
was
a
new
thing.
Of
course,
when
you’re
trying
to
deliver
a
perfect
set
for
paying
fans,
you
want
to
stick
the
landing
and
why
wouldn’t
an
artist
use
every
technical
advantage
to
make
sure
attendees
are
getting
their
money’s
worth?
R&B
singers
do
this
all
the
time
and
given
the
bodies
of
work
both
of
these
major
artists
have
produced,
they’re
certainly
not
going
to
remember
a
song
they
recorded
more
than
14
years
ago.
We’ve
got
the
reactions
from
fans
on
X,
formerly
Twitter,
debating
the
finer
points
of
using
a
teleprompter
for
some
odd
reason.
It’s
all
pretty
silly
if
you
ask
us
but
hey.
