@douchebag mcgee i really hope life size maps doesn’t win. their music sucks.
@CUSH Is an organization, but it also sponsors a group of emcees, singers, DJs, and producers. The individuals decided to submit as a group, and CUSH is the most appropiate name given that it is something they all share in common.
However, this looks like a really talented group of bands. It should make for an interesting Battle.
@Arbiter of Taste Night Eyes = legitimate
@Anonymous Where is Baker St? This seems like it was rigged.
@Anonymous Bwog, explain how CUSH, the organization, is a candidate. Not all of them are emcees, number one. Number two, I am a g-body member [if there is such a thing] of CUSH– do I get to compete, too?
This Bacchanal lineup is so disappointing! And what about the non-rap fans? I’m not saying I don’t like rap, but a little variety would not hurt. Echoing other comments but I just felt the need to reiterate.
@Anonymous jake snider backlash
@Jake Snider Is an incredibly talented pianist and singer, along with being a genuinely kind, sincere, smart dude! What’s with the hate bwog???
@jake snider sucks tremendous balls. not only does he sound shitty, but he sounds like an even gayer super gay maroon 5.
@wholewheat cracker fan I’d snoop RAJIB’S dogg anytime!
@useful thanks for the mixtape!
@Anonymous no one gives A FUCK ABOUT DAS RACIST. you really couldn’t have picked someone a bit more talented? damn das racist’s appearance almost negates snoop’s
@CC'13 your brain must be broken if you can’t tell how brilliant those dudes are
@hyperliterate they make the decembrists look like the jonas brothers!
@YE FUCK YEAH RAJIB MITRA
@Anonymous Night Eyes is tight, tho
@Anonymous NIGHT EYES IS AMAZING.
@Carman Forever! Ryan, Wilfred, and I forget his name right now guy should perform it!
@Obvious choice NIGHT EYES. They’ll provide a nice contrast to the rap music. Alex and Anthony are genuinely nice kids, too! Seriously though… so many musicians have overwhelmingly large egos but these two guys are very down to earth.
@Anonymous Klein is actually really obnoxious about how down to earth he is.
@Have you ever met him? Clearly you haven’t…
@Jake Snider... sucks and is an enormous douche… just saying
@Anonymous But he’s a damn good song writer, so you should probably reserve judgment.
@Umm So is John Mayer but I get to hate him for being a douchenozzle
@CC'13 ugh, dude is straight up insufferable! never has mediocrity been so well rewarded.
@Rajib putting the team on his back since 1989…doe
@CC'13 that mix tape is good, but it leaves out the best das racist tracks! everyone should check out you oughta know, ek shaneesh, and rooftop
@CC'13 also daaamn rajib that tumblr is DOPE
@true Ek Shaneesh is great. It even has shout outs to Columbia profs like Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak. But i’m not joking, just joking, i am joking, just joking, i’m not joking about how great hahahaha jk? is!
@Anonymous LUCKY CHOPS FOREVER!
@night eyes please please please
let’s get some variety guys.
@Where the fuck is ace of cake?
@And where the fuck... is Baker Street?
Clearly BWOG, they didn’t go to the ELIMINATE concert
@Anonymous Night Eyes FTW!!!
@regular cracker Rajib, what’s that on your back right now? Is that the team?
@just downloaded like so much shit from that mixtape site. thank you bwog.
@Anonymous note to self: pregame during the opening act
@THA PYRO or CUSH. let’s do it.
@MD go here for Danny Murcia: http://listentodanny.com
@Anonymous lol this sucks
@Anonymous simon herzog isnt a band
@But he does compose his own music…
@neither is CUSH, right?
how is the entire organization a candidate? can someone explain?
@LBB'12 I’m sure that CUSH is talented and all but we don’t need another hip hop/rapper in the concert. Seriously.
@hatas gon’ hate
