This happens here in 29 days
We’re not joking, just joking, we are joking, just joking, we’re not joking: much-hyped and utlra-hip “we’re kinda like rap/noise/pop” hip-hop duo Das Racist and Calvin Cordozar Braudus, Jr. aka SNOOP DOGG will perform at this year’s spring concert. The winner of CU Records’ Battle of the Bands (to be chosen on April 15) will open for them. And guys, it’s not a competition with Brown. These guys are the stuff of Bacchanal lore. Snoop was in an animated cartoon with Ghostface, and features Wiz Khalifa on his latest album, and then there’s Black and Yellow (sound familiar?) Let’s just hope sharing the bill with Das Racist doesn’t provoke any weird fake beef. Anyways this year’s Bacchanal’s theme is Abacchalypse, so whatever you think of the music you should get fucked up, ‘cause the world’s gonna end right? As per tradition, the good people at Bacchanal will host a film screening on 4/20, a week before the concert. They’re showing The Dark Side of Oz and it will be trippy.
In the meantime, try to pay attention in school kids, we know it’s hard!
Co-Presidents Alex Kirk and Jody Zellman, and Concert Chair Dan Weinstein fielded some of our questions…
Who was the most excited out of you guys about the line-up?
Jody: Professionals don’t show emotion. Right, Charlie Sheen?
Alex: I don’t think any of us were more excited than the others, we were all pretty stoked about having Snoop and Das Racist come. We’ve been working really hard on this for the last few months and we’re just really happy to have both artists come to campus.
Dan: Snoop Dogg.
What happens if an a capella group wins Battle of the Bands?
Jody: We’ll be having a bake sale to cover transportation costs and the concert will be in Wein Lounge.
Alex: No sound check.
Dan: We’re gonna make them drop it like it’s hot.
Are Das Racist racist?
Jody: Half the time they are Racist and the other half they are Das.
Alex: Everyone’s a little bit racist.
Dan: Are you racist?
Do you have any comment on this?
Jody: The keytar saved America.
Alex: Is Dr. Dre a doctor?
Dan: I think they got the title wrong.
What swag can we expect?
Jody: We threw everything we had (in addition to what the councils generously gave us) into our line up. Plus, the staging, production, tech, security, accouterments/transportation for artists, etc. costs a pretty penny (a huge, gold-plated, diamond-studded penny). In other words, swag is TBD.
Alex: A contact high.
Dan: There’s still some time to figure it out. Make requests.
Is the world really gonna end?
Jody: The world ended on Friday.
Alex: Someday.
Dan: What?

@SEAS 13 when will we have a house dj at baccanal? I wanna see how columbia rolls.
@Anonymous Do want.
@seriously... vampire weekend????
Delete that post.
Snooooooooooop
@Van Owen I’ve vowed to model my behavior towards women after Snoop Dog. I am currently building a stable of whores, so if any of you lovely bitches would like to join please let me know. I’ll have to check out your doggy style before any decision is made, but this is intended to promote a fair selection process. Remember, only one lucky girl can be my bottom bitch. Keep it classy Columbia…word.
@Anonymous ur disgusting.
@... p
@sorry i couldn't help it SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
@CC's You know, for everyone complaining, you live in fucking New York, go see your shitty “of montreal” concert in Brooklyn but be happy you have someone good performing.
@c'mon seriously, “Of Montreal” is not a very widely loved indie band. us people complaining actually like a really wide range of music, some of which people who also happen to like rap music also happen to like.
there is a lot of good music in the world, a lot of which is actually musical and not just a misogynistic asshole mumbling. why don’t YOU go see Snoop Dogg and get someone with some actual talent on stage to play for Columbia.
@Anonymous Since when is Snoop Dogg good?! You have got to be kidding me.
@I would much rather have these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn7-fVtT16k
@... i’m at the pizza hut.
@... i’m at the taco bell.
@... I’m at the combination pizza hut and taco bell
@Like what Twitter get Sick of arguing with white dudes on the internet.
@Dark Side of the Rainbow not Dark Side of Oz. Right? Anyone? Appreciate the 420 celebration, but get stoner culture right, Columbia.
@great reference We’re not joking, just joking, we are joking, just joking, we’re not joking; HAHAHAHA JK – Das Racist :D
and snoop dogg lehgooooooo
@Anonymous A look at Snoop Dogg’s website shows that he is playing Baltimore,MD on April 29th with no show planned for the 30th. Make of this what you will.
@Anonymous Take my word for it, it’s not an April Fool’s joke
@Anonymous What is up with your site Bwog? I don’t get this April Fool’s thing
@Anonymous Purp and yellow
@I LOVE HEEMZ These zooted brown weirdos is wildin’… but they can really rap!
@Alum Posted at 12:00Am on April 1st… nuff said
Well made joke bwog.
@KANYE Snoop is a fool b*tches
@YEAHHHH GANGSTA LUV WHADDUPPPPP
@Anonymous DAN WEINSTEIN IS THE GREATEST
@Dan W guys, I am the greatest!
@i definitely wish this were april fool's but why would it be? announcing a fake line-up as an april fool’s joke is only funny if the line-up is implausible. Announcing a realistic one, and then changing it, would just be sort of bizarre.
@'11 why are people hating? at least it is someone people have heard of. i personally love snoop dogg. sure he may have “sold out” but what artist doesn’t these days? they want money so of course they’ll do whatever to make money. just quit complaining because it is someone people actually know unlike the previous years. and its FREE.
apparently nothing makes you people happy. -_-
@because... some people don’t like really shitty rap music. someone on here is complaining about Of Montreal’s songs sounding the same…okay, maybe true, but doubly true for this guy who just speaks a bunch of bullshit “lyrics” in a monotone about getting high and fucking bitches to a low bass line.
Snoop Dogg is a joke, I don’t know why people actually listen to him other than he comes across and sells himself to be some sort of hip badass.
I don’t really like Of Montreal, but there are plenty of “indie” bands that a huge population like — uh, Vampire Weekend? come on. this is so stupid. also, Das Racist looks to be the Of Montreal of rap music, so whatever.
@Anon Cool story bro
@'11 we deal with your indie music all the time. its so easy to invite them to be on campus. i swear tons of indie bands come to place here for anything.
let us have the “shitty rap” music since we let you have all the indie shit you like.
@uh What? What indie shit do I get? The rap artists always outnumber the others at Bachannal. Anyways, don’t you people like things other than rap music anyways? Yes, rap and indie music are the only things that exist ever.
If they can afford Snoop Dogg, they can afford a legit band that a lot of people listen to.
@snizzle dizzle Alright so I want this to be true but c’mon…Bwog posted this EXACTLY at 12 am? Gotta be April Fool’s. Well I hope not but for now I’m saying it is..better keep expectations low.
@use your cranium bwog posted this exactly at midnight because it was officially announced by bacchanal committee at havana central at midnight. bwog was privy to the information before hand most likely, but was not allowed to post it until it was already released. not an april fool’s joke.
@snizzle dizzle Allllrighty then. Did not know that. Thanks for the info.
@That Guy Who’s that? BROOWWWNNNN. DAS RACIST GRHHHHHMMMAYYEEAHHHHHHH
but it’s gonna be hard to top Ghostface. There isn’t anyway I’d pay outta my own pocket to see Snoop, so lets just take what we got and be happy; there is no going back. And oh yeah… ITS FO’ FREE.
@LBB'12 Actually, this just cost me forty thousand dollars
@Anonymous Can you please change the picture
@hypothetical question presumably, bacchanal booked this way in advance, i.e. before the bulletstorm contest. What would have happened if we won that contest? would we have snoop and another big name? was bulletstorm rigged because of this? ANSWERS I NEED ANSWERS
@pretty sure they’re entirely separate. Had we won, we would probably have had two Snoop Dogg concerts (or they would have cut him loose from Bacchanal). What’s amazing is that the Bacchanal people must have been trying so hard not to laugh while we killed ourselves to vote every day for Snoop on Facebook!
@Anonymous meh. snoop is gross
@Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dog Word to the WY!
@how about no.
rebecca black or gtfo.
@Well I heard that Snoop/Das Racist really is just an April Fool’s joke and they’re announcing the real line up tomorrow and Rebecca Black is the actual headliner!
@Anonymous DAS RACIST IN DA HIZZAAAA
@bacchanal NOT a joke
snoop fo realz
@CC '11 I won’t believe this until Saturday. The odds of it being an April Fool’s joke is just way too high.
@Interesting All the people who commented on bwog love this lineup, all the people on spectrum hate it…..just saying… BWOG for LIfe motherfucka
@it's all about that BWUG life.
@yes I am glad to know bwog doesn’t actually represent the Columbia community. Probably why I don’t ever read it, especially when it tries so hard to pretend to.
@Anonymous Tell me, baby, are you wet?
@Snoop is the sex!!!!!
@Anonymous Drop it like its hot.
@it's just sad to watch people pathetically complain that the headliner for a spring festival where the whole point is to get fucked up and have fun is too big a name. It’s not an indie band concert; the point is not whether the musician had high ratings on Pitchfork. And don’t pretend that you wouldn’t be railing against Bacchanal and the administration if they picked someone that most students hadn’t heard of!
@Anonymous that doesn’t make much sense but i agree
@CC'11 I am so afraid that this is just a joke….
@CC'14 Eww snoop dogg really?? uch. And I missed Of Montreal, a band that actually makes real music. Oh well, I’ve got three more years.
@Get off my lawn AND GET OUTTA HERE WITH YOUR HIPSTER SHENANIGANS
@Of Montreal? Are you kidding me, they suck. I couldn’t tell any of their music apart. It was half an hour before i realized the song had changed. multiple times.
@yeahhhh You must be new here…
@Of Who?
@Anonymous haters gon’ hate
@April Fool's Joke. *sigh* Why do you build me up, Bwog, just to let me down?
This is an April Fool’s Joke.
Snoop Dogg was chosen because he was so hyped up from the Bulletstorm promotion, Das Racist was chosen to allow for your JK bit (because we all know you’re just joking). I appreciate that you took the time to think carefully about this prank – I mean it’s a lovely combination, really… but no ):
@not as lovely of a combination as a combination pizza hut and taco bell
@WTF Please be a joke.
@Anonymous April FOOLS!!!!
@meh I would have rather had a couple good (but cheaper) bands than snoop dogg. He’s a fun guy but has he actually produced any good music in the last 10 years? (without a collaborator)
@Anonymous this is liteally the worst possible line up…………lets get some actual artists….. i was excited, but this is SO LAME. look at our line up vs Penn, Yale, other ivies…..THIS IS A JOKE……..
@Anonymous PENN HAS RATATAT. NO FAIR
@Anonymous so fucking lame. youtube “star” + washed out rapper? #jokes
@Anonymous every ratatat song sounds exactly the same. The only good music they have is when they remix other artists material and then their songs actually have lyrics
@uh no
@uh do you not get that our concert is free, they have to pay? Id take great lineup for free over amazing lineup and $
@Anonymous You should just go choke yourself
@bc'11 best concert ever in my four years here!
thank you for giving us seniors a good last bacchanal
@Anon Well, it’s not technically for you…
@Actually “Bacchanal is an incredible club that works to provide awesome social events for the entire Columbia community!”

@Actually... “Bacchanal is an incredible club that works to provide awesome social events for the entire Columbia community!” (Bacchanal’s Facebook page)
@um hello see above
@Anonymous Is this an April Fool’s joke? I would be SO upset
@aight i’m down.
@Anonymous OMG HYPERVENTILATING WITH EXCITEMENT. PERFECT LINEUP
@not so excited Theres only 2 ppl -_-
@yeah this sucks
@Anonymous maybe snoop will bring some friends
@yeah I’m really pissed about that fact. I highly doubt that the larger ratio of the Columbia student body is obsessed with rap and no other music.
@Anon cry me a fucking river
@Hey, You’re a cool person that says cool things. Feel cool, as you deserve to, being as cool as you are.
@ummmm is this an april fool’s joke?
@=( yes. UNC Chapel Hill won the Bulletstorm contest… I’m pretty sure Columbia has more California girls than UNC so like wtf
@uh, no spec posted it too. i don’t think spec and bwog coordinate anything, much less april fool’s jokes. you can also ask anyone who was at havana central when this was announced at midnight: unless bacchanal is epically fooling us (and they’re not), this is the real deal.
@seeing as it was posted at 12am on 4/2 Yes.
@haha whoops 4/1*
and I was being serious.
@Anonymous SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ooOoo oOOOOOP!
@April Fools? We’re not joking, just joking, we are joking, just joking, we’re not joking
@Anonymous I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOWWWWWW
@Anonymous It’s the extra W that really shows it, congratulations.
@SO THERE fuck you UNC
@On Jamaica Avenue I’m at the Pizza Hut.
I’m at the Taco Bell.
I’m at that combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
@Anonymous listening to that NOW
@The funny thing about that I live 15 min from there. Wattup Jamaica Ave. This makes me ridiculously happy. Thank you Bacchanal
@Anonymous snoooooppppppppppppp!!!!
@SNOOP I’M SO EXCITED
I’M FEELING THE PRESSURE TO SAY SOMETHING CLEVER BUT MY FINGERS ARE TYPING FASTER THAN MY BRAIN
@YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
@is it just me... or is that picture just a tad bit demeaning? a little more respect for women of color, please.
@Yes Due to its obvious demeaning nature, I would say that picture was not a great choice, bwog.
@are you serious? shut up. thats some ass.
@Anonymous do you prefer your whores to be white?
@Anonymous do you prefer your eggs fried or fertilized?
@yo white people.. need to shut the fuck up and stop pretending they like this nigga. I’ve seen their ipod play lists and all they play is some stupid white shitty music. aight?
