UConn Athletics and SUBOG Announce First Night x Fall Concert (Friday 10/18)

[Huskyforlife]

They should hire you

They should cancel the concert.

They should cancel the concert.

It’s a free concert........after the basketball festivities. You literally don’t have to stay for it.

Went to the tpain spring weekend concert back in 08 I think. Flo-rida opened up for him in a rather entertaining concert. T-pain live is engaging and fun to watch and listen to. He also has some solid hits.

Not sure why people gotta complain about a free concert that no one is forcing anyone to go to. You can watch the entrances and the little scrimmage and leave if you don’t want to get entertained for free. T-Pain is wildly successful and a decent get compared to the past first night special guest singers.

Maybe next year someone will ask Chief to hook up Meek? Or maybe not?
Opportunities don’t exist for those who can’t see them.

Lol last time T-Pain was relevant we were in the OBE. I guess we really are trying to get back to the glory days.

I’ve literally never even heard of him until now.

Same, but but we probably are not his target audience.

No doubt about that. I've never ever heard a song by Jay Z either, but I at least know who he is. This guy?

Seems he had a #1 album at some point. Not sure how anyone can complain if it's free. It may not be Pearl Jam playing a free show when I was at KU in 1992, but free is free.

 

[Kenny11]

I’ve literally never even heard of him until now.

He was extremely popular in like the 2007-2010 range. Not only with his own music but he was a guest feature on dozens of hit songs. He popularized the autotune sound in hip-hop (one of the downfalls of hip-hop music imo).

 

[rayrayfor3]

I’ve literally never even heard of him until now.

have you ever heard the line from the song "All I do is win win win, no matter what"

Well, that's him.

 

[the Q]

Maybe because TPain won the masked singer competition the school thinks he’s somehow relevant now.

And Gampel doesn’t service alcohol so no one can Buy U A Drank or be a Bartender.

I never think of his actual songs. I think of him as that guy from 2007 who was featured in everything....

Dude, it seemed he was in everything in 2007.

 

[Kembacity]

I’m sorry but if Bartender doesn’t get you up and vibing you’re a lost soul, be you 17 or 77

Best-worst hook in music history?

She made us drinks
To drink
We drunk em
Got drunk

I like TPain as much as the next guy (who likes him okay) but Bartender has always struck me as a snoozer. That's supposed to get you up for the club?

Stole that from T-Brady.

Solid brag

In before one of the young pups. Pearl Jam who?

 

[QDOG5]

TPain is so old school he should be called Knee Pain.

 

[Rocktheworld]

I said vibing, not amped/hyped. Something for either way early in the night while you’re getting your buzz going, or way late lol

I endorse that I don’t remember hearing much TPain our at the club during my years in Boston

Went back and listened again after reading the news, hope the kids are messed up by the time he goes on, they're gonna have to hype themselves up.

Nope.

 

[Walker11]

Our recruits were 4 years old when T Pain was popular. Who gives a about First Night, besides how it relates to recruiting. I'm happy to hear that T Pain makes 33 year old white guy nostalgic about college.

I'm suprised this has gone under the radar so far

I'm suprised this has gone under the radar so far

We were trying to ignore it

Kansas just announced Snoop Dog for their first night. Is this better or worse than T-Pain? I have heard of Snoop Dog and he was great in Starsky and Hutch.
