Unfortunately, the politically correct b.s. has hit Kansas as much anywhere. Just a few weeks ago people were freaking out because I said AOC was pretty and had a nice figure. These same people probably don't mind Snoop's lyrics about bitches and hos. Not knocking Snoop, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the politically correct morons.

He may not have as many recent hits as J Cole, but he is still big enough in the rap/music culture that players and recruits these days still know his songs and can still sell out arenas playing the same songs that made him famous in the 90s and 00s.

I would actually say getting Snoop is bigger than getting J Cole when it comes generating buzz to an overall fan base. EVERYONE at Late Night knew who Snoop Dogg was. Not everyone would have known J Cole.

FWIW (which is less than 2 cents) a simple Ticketmaster search shows me he's hardly selling out 2,500 - 5,000 seat arenas.

I have no idea what it cost to have Snoop come to KU and who actually paid for it but in hindsight it might not have been such a great investment. If we need Snoop to be a difference maker with a recruit signing with us then maybe we need to re-examine our recruiting process?

I agree with all that....snoop is above J Cole on the rap totem pole....but Snoop is pushing 50, so if the idea is that this is only about the players and students then the fact all the 50 year olds knew who snoop was is kind of irrelevant.

Again, my issue isn't necessarily with Snoop, he's an all time great... but he's not exactly my idea of someone who should perform at late night in the phog in what I think is supposed to be a family friendly environment.

Snoop performed at the Illinois State Fair this year.....it was pretty awful from what I was told by people who attended. So I'm not sure he's exactly selling out the biggest arenas or a draw for top venues quite as much anymore, but he's definitely a name brand.

.....but this was more about the fact he's an Adidas guy than anything it sure seems like. I have a sneaky suspicion they (Adidas) were calling most of the shots for this year's late night performance (and last years?).... which is annoying to me for whatever reason. Much like the idea of the Kansas City Phogushers is annoying to pwhitt and others. Adidas made our coach and program look pretty stupid. Tie that in with our off court issues surrounding Adidas, and our other off court issues over the last decade with various players, and it's just starting to change the perception of our program on a very real level.

I feel like we could get someone who is buzz worthy and a little more appealing than snoop. J Cole was just a random artist that came to mind, could have used other better examples. If money isn't the issue then get a Rhianna type echelon of artist (I think she's puma, so there's that, but this isn't Adidas Jayhawks Late Night in the Phog)...I do love the idea of having a musical performance....but could do without strippers, money guns, etc.
