This year’s Groovin is sure to be a cultural experience with two Louisiana natives headlining the spring concert, Rob 49 and VickyLo. Earlier this week, reporter Lorena Patterson-Vallian went to Free Speech Alley to see what students had to say about the lineup.

Some students weren’t happy with the artist, calling the lineup “trash.”

“I think it’s a little trash in my opinion,” said freshman Isabella Jackson.

“Who, where are y’all getting the information from that this is who we want to see,” said junior Trinity Nathan.

While others seemed excited to see the pair perform

“Lineup was definitely perfect,” said sophomore Tyhlar Holliway.

“I think the lineup is fire. I think student gov definitely ate down with that,” said senior Robert Gauthier

With some students just appreciating the culture that will be represented.

“I like Rob 49 and VickeeLo, they’re going to do great. They’re from New Orleans, it’s going to be awesome,” said senior Tayla Anderson.

“I think it’s so good that like, people from out of state and LSU students that may have never been to New Orleans get to experience bounce culture in their own university,” said sophomore Kai Derouen.

Some students didn’t even know who the artists were.

“I haven’t heard of them,” said senior Catherine Lemoine.

“I mean, I know a couple Rob 49 songs, but if I’m being completely honest, no idea who the girl is,” said sophomore Skylar Revia.

Students also told Tiger TV who they would have liked to see perform.

“Who would I like to see perform? Lil Wayne probably, uhhh, and Lil Baby because he’s the goat obviously,” said sophomore Christon Jones.

“I’m a really big Barb, I would’ve liked to see Nicki Minaj, but also like, you know, that might be out of our tax bracket,” said senior Skylar Davis.

Opinions were definitely scattered, but most students said they would be attending the concert.

Rapper Boston Richie was also supposed to perform at Groovin but was arrested on domestic violence charges last week. However, Rapper Ha Sizzle and DJ T Money are hosting the pre-party that began at 7 p.m.
