Click for your "bro-rap" fix...

FYI, it's 12 minutes long. Just thought I'd share for those who didn't make it, but wanted to see it. Audio isn't great, but it's a cell phone. Gotta work with what you have.

It's impressive how far cell phone videos have come...

That was surprisingly good. I wish I could have made it to Athens. Spring time tailgating, a packed house, Luda, and Eason looking like the GOAT would have been a fantastic day

Yeah, it was pretty hilarious. He let the crowd do most of the dirty stuff...and they did better than I would have guessed.

I'm guessing y'all saw where Luda's contract for the 15 minutes got him paid $65k and his hospitality rider got him some booze and Trojan Magnums on UGA's dime?


Don't care, hit 93(100)k!

Was it worth the cost?


Via public records, the Telegraph in Macon reports that the university paid the rapper $65,000 to perform for 15 minutes, provided dinner for $40 per person for 10 people, and abided by this rider list:

In Ludacris’ dressing room for the event, Georgia provided a multitude of items ranging from assorted snacks, six Hanes t-shirts, vodka, cognac, wine, tequila and batteries. The athletic association also agreed to stock a box of Trojan Magnum condoms in the room.

after being there saturday and seeing the buzz around the entire city, yeah I'd say it was surely worth it.

Yeah I think so. Saturday was a great atmosphere. I don't think Luda had that much to do with it, but it surely didn't hurt. G-Day definitely made me change my mind on how many games I'm going to try and get to. I'm going to do more than one for sure.

I'm gonna go on a limb and tell you that I'm not certain the UGAAD actually provided all of those because I know we didn't when I was at UGA working with these types of events. From my other post on the SECRant:

Allow me to give you an example. I was involved in Luda's last show at UGA for homecoming in 2010. Here's all you need to know about what was paid and requested in the rider then. I thought I recalled it being about the same and it's pretty much unchanged for the most part.

The more things change...

Note: These items are marked out of the contract Ludacris made with the University

At .000005% of the football budget, I'd say it was well worth it. The atmosphere was crazy and I think Luda was a big part of it. I was so fired up I was ready to commit. We are already seeing the benefits of our athletic department's balls to the wall approach and I think it is only going to get better.
