Non hip-hop nation

To the Spring Fling Band Getters:

As I have learned from the cornucopia of intelligent Wespeaks in the last couple of issues of the Argus, writing things in capital letters means that they are important and that the aforementioned Wespeaks deserve more attention and are of a higher caliber. The Spelling is always impeccable and the grammar is absolutely flawless. Also, the language is respectful and eloquent. Following this lead, my Wespeak will be constructed with the cap lock key used henceforth! I will also star words at random to keep in the newly created Wespeak vernacular.

THIS QUESTION NEEDS TO BE *ANSWERED* FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE IN OUR VERY FRAGMENTED COMMUNITY. WHY DO STUDENTS (like myself) GET ABSOLUTELY LIT UP FOR SPRING FLING? THE ANSWER COULD BE TRACED BACK TO MANY DIFFERING ROOTS AND CAUSES BUT FOR ME ONE REASON STICKS OUT THE MOST. THE MUSIC IS NOT QUITE UP *TO SNUFF*. ONE MEMBER OF THE WU-TANG CLAN? BIZ MARKIE CAN’T REMEMBER THE WORDS TO HIS ONLY HIT? HIP-HOP ONLY? THIS MAY BE BREAKING NEWS TO SOME MEMBERS OF WESLEYAN’S UBER-INTELLIGISTA BUT NOT EVERYONE LIKES RAP MUSIC. I’M SURE THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GHOST FACE AND THE ROOTS BUT SOME OF US DON’T CARE BECAUSE WE DON’T LIKE EITHER OF THEM.

I’VE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS AND MAY BE HERE FOR A COUPLE MORE BUT EVERY HEADLINING BAND HAS BEEN SOME VARIATION OF A RAP GROUP/ARTIST THAT EITHER ISN’T GOOD YET, ISN’T GOOD ANYMORE OR WILL NEVER HAVE THE WORD GOOD ASSOCIATED WITH IT EXCEPTING, “*THIS GROUP/ARTIST IS NOT GOOD*”. I’M SORRY ABOUT ALL THE “COMPLAINING” AND “FINGER POINTING/BLASTING” BUT I LIKE “MUSICAL GROUPS” WITH GUITARS AND “SINGING” IF FOR NO OTHER “REASON” THAN A “CHANGE” OF “PACE”.

SO UNTIL WES-TECH GETS A NON HIP-HOP ACT FOR SPRING FLING I JUST MAY CONTINUE TO COME BACK TO FOSS HILL, DRINK ‘TIL I CAN’T SEE STRAIGHT, WEAR AN EMPTY 30-PACK ON MY HEAD, GET INNORDINATE AMOUNTS OF SUN AND LIGHT SOME FURNITURE ON FIRE. SURE, IT’S IMMATURE BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE WAY CHANGE IS BROUGHT ABOUT ON THIS CAMPUS. FROM ALL OF THE NON HIP-HOP NATION: FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, *we salute you*.
