...Gates: Videoconferencing is another good example. There?s more of it going on today than in the past. But it?s still not really mainstream. Even with cameras being very cheap, one thing that researchers noticed was that you look really bad in a videoconference image, because the lighting is bad and you get shadows and things.

We all have this conviction that it will be mainstream...

Evidence still raps about wack MCs on the radio (“The game’s fucked a thousand sound-alikes it’s sad”), and he still raps about how he shuns a mainstream sound (“I don’t fuck with that industry flow”), but his resistance to the trappings of mass appeal has waned.
