For anyone born before 1990, it's fair to say we've witnessed a good amount of change in the music industry. With the rise of YouTube and the fall of album sales, artists and YouTubers are experiencing an overlap no one expected. You may have never heard of the name Kurt Hugo Schneider, but you have definitely heard of T-Pain. For the younger generation, however, the opposite may be true. 

go90's newest show, To The Beat with Kurt Hugo Schneider, capitalizes on this cross-generational shift. For those of you who aren't YouTube fanatics, Kurt Hugo Schneider is a music producer whose main platform is online music videos. His clips have done so well that in 2013, the now 28-year-old, teamed up with Coca-Cola to create music videos featuring covers of Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close" and Of Monsters and Men's "Little Talks." 

So where's go90 come in? They've given Schneider his own show where he invites popular musicians over to create unique mashups of their own songs. In this episode, T-Pain stops by to create a mashup of his biggest hits including, "Buy U A Drank," "Best Love Song," "I'm In Love (Wit A Stripper)," and "FBGM." Dropping the auto-tune and adding a piano and violin, T-Pain allows the songs take on a new life.
