Will.i.am @iamwill (founder of Black Eyed Peas) talks about what Twitter means to performers

Wil.i.am spoke at Twitter's Chirp conference today and I caught up with him during lunch and talk with him about what Twitter means to him as a musician. He uses it to see how the audience is responding to his music. Later we talk about how the music business is changing and what he'd like to do but can't because of the music industry. We end the interview abruptly just as we were talking about the iPad because he got called away, but hopefully we can chat with him some more later.

The revelation Will shares at the end of this video, around 4:00 is big... as he shares the reasons why BEP does not have artistic freedom, I can't help but wonder when artists will say no to oppression. Cool video Rob! Thanks...
