Are the Columbia Bacchanal shows open to the public?

See everyone, these two are actual "rappers" as opposed to the shit you're dancing to at your lame ass parties. Lil Wayne and Kanye West = talkers. Black Star = rappers. Got it? See, rap used to be an art form. Now it's a complete joke. LOLZ!

Also, guaranteed more New Paltz students go to the reggae-funk show at one of their shitty bars than to see Talib Kweli that night. That town is fucked.
