What's the deal with all these rap songs?

Earlier in the week, I documented a rising trend in the media-heavy world of college hoops. Well today, I must document another trend, which, unlike the hilarious spoof videos, is not nearly as entertaining.

Listen, I like hip-hop. In fact, I damn-near love it. The same goes for college hoops. But I cannot say the same about auto-tune-heavy rap videos made by college students about their favorite teams.

You see, Indiana became the most recent addition to the club of awkward white kids rapping about college hoops.



The video is actually pretty well done, and probably earned the director a B+ or A- in their Comm355 Advanced Production class. But still these videos just seem like a trend I think we all would rather do without.

Take a look at the other esteemed programs that have homemade rap videos made about them:

Central Florida



Duke



Syracuse

The Duke one should never have been made. IU was at least filmed in the arean, giving it some cred. Syracuse... nice production.
