When it comes to live music shows, I don’t watch the initial airing and instead tune in during subsequent re-airs. I do this to eliminate my view on the program from being influenced by the heavy social media presence that is cultivated around the program in real-time. Having said that, I didn’t watch the Eminem freestyle during the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards as it happened (generally speaking, I don’t watch award shows period).
