Rumor has it that North Carolina Central University is not having a hip hop concert for this year’s homecoming. Students all over NCCU’s campus are saying the tradition will be ruined. Should the student body be deprived of a concert?
Kemet Gresham a junior at NCCU said “each year we have an underrated concert for homecoming. Instead of getting rid of the concert altogether we should find a way to make more money and hire better performers. NC A&T our rivals has a large scale concert each year because they have a partnership with the Greensboro coliseum. Maybe NCCU should have a partnership with the Durham Bulls Stadium and host a larger scale concert. This would bring in more money and we can advertise to non NCCU students.”
It’s unclear why we are not having a homecoming concert many think it’s because of our budget. Paisley Williams a sophomore at NCCU said “if funding is the reason why we are not having a concert we should have fundraisers year round to support our homecoming. The student activity board should maybe host bake sales or even a mini carnival.” While doing interviews I asked students how we could improve homecoming in the years to come. Kamau Winfield NCCU sophomore said “we should promote our homecoming events outside NCCU and up the price of tickets to expand the budget for next year.”
There is another rumor from an unidentified source who’s an associate of S.A.B said that Pusha T from the rap group called the Clipse is coming to perform at the fashion show. After students heard about the possibility of Pusha T coming they was sort of relieved. At the end of each interview I asked if you could choose an artist to come perform who it would be. Many said Asap Rocky, Rich Homie Quan, Kindrick Lamar, and J cole. The answer is still unclear about having a concert, but time will tell.
