i just wanted to know becuase i was told that we can't play hip-hop instrumentals if the original song had curses on them. i dont see why you can't play an instrumental with no words on it.... its just stupid

[SuperJon]

It's Liberty. It's how things are done.

To create a good atmosphere at the games, the people in charge of music are going to have to get very creative, especially for basketball. Basketball is probably the hardest sport to create a good atmosphere musically at Liberty because of the rules on music so it's going to be hard.

[TDDance234]

Again, we've been down this road several times.

Liberty does not want to associate itself with anything that could potentially have a negative impact on the campus. There are plenty of good 'hip-hop' beats that are made by Christian artists.

I agree that the music played at games should be upbeat and something with a little bounce to it, but that can be done in an manner that distances itself from the secular world.

[whmatthews]

So... no Enya I assume. Unless it's the dance-hall remix.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

Manager... I got something Special for you coming soon to play at the games

[LU'sbestmanager]

so we can't play be instrumentals if the original song with lyrics on it had curses? that's dumb

[LU'sbestmanager]

what's that?

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

Hows a Christian Mixtape with Christian Lyrics on Secular Beats soud?

[whmatthews]

Sounds stupid to me.
But I wasn't asked.
My freshman year at volleyball games they were playing Ludacris.

[LU'sbestmanager]

hhhmmmm... that is a great idea! you have been thinking for a while havent you?

[whmatthews]

But as for the topic,
anything upbeat with Fire, Heat, Flames... something topical.

[LU'sbestmanager]

Sounds stupid to me.
But I wasn't asked.
My freshman year at volleyball games they were playing Ludacris.

yup, but this is men's bball and they are already looked at as thugs

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

No its been something in the making for a while and i thought... What a better time than now

[SuperJon]

That's twice I've laughed out loud tonight.

As long as the lyrics aren't completely cheesy it won't be bad. We'll never make everyone happy though.

For example, I'm a punk/rock type of person. That's what I'd like to hear. I'm not a hip-hop fan. GMTM is a huge hip-hop fan and doesn't like what I like. Someone's always going to be complaining.

[LU'sbestmanager]

that's smart man. good job

[TDDance234]

Is the Sweet-16 band not playing this year?

[LU'sbestmanager]

Someone's always going to be complaining.

your right about that

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

but see... for WARM UP music we have to cater to the players... No player wants to hear Simple Plan or Garth Brooks (No stab at you SJ thats just what i heard tonight) Its to get the players hyped for the game and ready to play its not for the old people to Enjoy themselves haha

[LU'sbestmanager]

they are, but we need music for time-outs, warm-ups and half time. it's always quite in that stadim.... or they play garth brooks. what the heck is that?!

[SuperJon]

I don't want to hear Simple Plan, either, ever. I understand completely. I relate hip-hop to basketball. That's just how it is. I'm ok listening to some country at baseball games and I'm ok listening to some hip-hop at basketball games.

[whmatthews]

I never heard Garth Brooks. I heard Keith Urban.. mmm, I love Keith Urban, and country for that matter... haters.

[SuperJon]

You're from a town called Roanoke Rapids, why does that not surprise me?

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

I never heard Garth Brooks. I heard Keith Urban.. mmm, I love Keith Urban, and country for that matter... haters.

Well the "OH so glorious" Music Man said he was going to play Garth Brooks and i was told it was played... Keith Urban none-the-less.. Same thing haha

[whmatthews]

I beg to differ about the Keith Urban comment, but this isn't the place for that.


He's amazing on guitar.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

Yeah this isnt the place, i respect his work, Just not before a basketball game
