Student Trustee Election Kicks Off . . . With Another Rap Video
Posted by Michael Alan on April 11, 2011
Bores lays down a track with some sorority girls at CTB, but they seem more interested in their latest BBM.
Alex Bores ’13, a recently announced candidate for the undergraduate spot on the University’s Board of Trustees being vacated by Asa Craig ’11, has taken a page out of the playbook of Student Assembly President-elect Natalie Raps ’12 and made a rap video to kick off his campaign.
Perhaps looking to get on an episode of BET’s “Beef” with Raps, Bores has stepped his game up, dropping a video with a high production value studio track and professional quality video from Slope Media Group’s “Television” department. Despite the respectable flow of campus emcee talent Kia Albertson-Rogers ’13 and Chiddy Bang’s opening act from their Noyes concert earlier this year, Chauncey “Chance Fischer” Jenkins ’11, the Insider is disappointed that Bores himself didn’t truly take on Raps and rap a verse himself.
See the video after the jump . . .
In all seriousness, while it is funny to see an overly-ambitious undergraduate lip syncing a rap at the top of McGraw Tower about “budget cuts gettin’ ugly,” “sayin’ oohlala about my résumé,” and “understanding the gravity of making them unilateral decisions” (an obvious pander to the underrepresented LEGO constituency), is this really what it takes to get people as smart and engaged as Cornell students excited about campus politics?
