The Evolution Of Online Video... In 6 Rap Styles
[Dan Bull]
In the past the internet
Didn't have video yet
Then there came a website
Called "YouTube" to make it right
240p
Was the size of a video
And the audio
Was mono, not stereo
You could not a upload a song
Longer than 10 minutes long
Then we got a Data Boost
New features were introduced

Quality increased from 240 pixels in 360
And YouTube added an option to watch videos in 3GP (Hey hey)
Netflix, Ustream, Roku and let's not forget Apple TV
Another Data Boost
As we got used
To browsing audiovisually (E e)

Suddenly we're in the realm of HD
A whole new level of quality
720p
And we went from 4:3
Black bars on the side to full widescreen
With faster data plans and broadbard
It's like you're holding a whole cinema in your hand
I hope you brought your 3D specs
So you can see what's coming up next

720p was clearly never sufficient
So boost to 1080, improve your vision
Of the screen
As the video streams
Automatic subtitles transcribe your speech
Vevo, thumbs up and HTML5
I can't image the size of the Disk Drives
It's Like
Bandwidth gets bigger every minute
We need another Data Boost
Just so we can keep up with it

The scene's a sea
We're swimming deep within it
Singers, streamers, comedians, memers, keems
It seems we're keen to reach the limit
It's our Forte
Everything that came before was foreplay
So of course
We're going to raise to the rate to 4k
With more frames
Enabling smoother views of your games
Youtubers are huge news for the new Youth
Old media bequeathing the future
And leaving it to You
I think you know by now
What we need to do:
Boost!

Now it's natural that we are
Becoming compatible with VR
Caviar
Running in 8K
Colour space capable of displaying HDR
360 degrees
It must be seen for it to be believed
It must be heard Just like the word "Skrt Skrt"
I don't know what that even means
All i know is everything is getting more exessive
Every morning I see something that is ever more impressive
All my messages amassing even faster than I get them
The progrresion is so fast I cannot even get a breath in
What do you think of the fact
I'm bringing a track back from the beggning of rap
Fresh as cinnamon baps
And in the middle of that Dan's reminscing about video stats
Still managing to kill it with brilliant facts
He really is fast
