We could certainly use some good news! Hoping there aren't qualification issues if he does indeed commit.

I assume the team will be bringing him to the Lil Uzi Vert concert at UConn tomorrow night.

Spring concerts on a Thursday now?

And the best they can do is Lil Uzi Vert. Little bit of a downgrade from Kendrick Lamar and Steve Aoki.
ECSU is getting Mac Miller.

They need to kill off the fall and winter concerts and just go all out on a spring one. Schools as big as UConn should be attracting better talent than this. (funny that this is paralleling many folks' thoughts on the basketball program currently)

 

[Matrim55]

Quite frankly, stay tuned.

Careful, you are trying to steal Chief's equally vague thunder

Lil Uzi is waaaay bigger than Mac Miller right now, one of hottest rappers in the country. I know, crazy.

IIRC one year we had Guster & OAR and another we had Reel Big Fish

It's amazing how far mainstream hip hop has fallen, never knew how lucky I had it in the 90's.

I guess it's more of an indictment on where pop and hip hop is at now. Explains why Fetty Wap was the gig last year.
Turn-up trap music.
I view Mac Miller as a ten times better artist than Lil Uzi.

 

[TopDogs]

I've never felt older than I have at this moment reading about UConn's concert and saying, "Who?" I'll just go find a grave now.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Still some saving graces, Kendrick, J. Cole and Joey Bada$$ have that 90's feel to them.

 

[James]

Lil uzi has had a few hits and current top 50 single out now, not a bad get at all. Not close to a drake or wiz khalifa but defintetly popular.

Please stop talking about hip hop music on this thread...start a new off topic thread if you want to keep talking about it.

If you are talking about national and worldwide popularity i dont think hip hop has been bigger than it is now.

He means it sucks now.

Bc it's not rap or hip hop. It's a catchy beat with mumbling.

Well its a new branch of hip hop whether any of us like it or not

 

[mauconnfan]

Is Diarra a basketball player or a hip hop Playa?

No it's pop music. You can call it hip hop or rap if it helps you feel manly.

 

[Vuce]

I'm so old I was pumped back in the day when they brought in Stevie Ray Vaughn and the musicians actually PLAYED instruments and sang. Ok back to Diarra....

meh "pop" music has changed. Yes, he seems to be popular with young kids, but it doesn't make it generic pop. This dude has two songs with over 110,000,000 million plays on spotify. In case you don't know what that means... it's a metric fton
