Now that Intel is back, we have unofficially appointed ourselves to cover every white frat boy (Booshua, anyone?) who raps about our college bubble, AKA espouses his love for The Deuce and weighs in on the attractiveness and bedroom behavior of his co-eds. So when Chet Hanks drops a new rap about Northwestern, all hell breaks loose in the Intel newsroom. Well, if we actually had a newsroom.
Gawker scooped us on our own breaking news this time, but for the record, we passed it around on our editors listserv last night, and Chet Haze’s new single, “White and Purple (Northwestern remix), elicited the following respones:
Never before has a rap song been grounds for college expulsion. Morty, help us out. Is this comment too mean? This is too mean for sure. I just can’t even think of something legit about this. I just can’t.
It’s pretty catchy….for a rap written by a white boy in Pike.
Chet, don’t you know there is a long line of aspiring white frat boy rappers at NU? There’s no TIME to be unoriginal. NEXT.
Memorable line: “Everybody in this bitch is a Wildcat.”
After listening to the song, I wanted to dislike it. C’mon, is originality prized in the world anymore? And what about musical plagiarism? Does changing the lyrics to the recent top 40 hit “Black and Yellow” really exemplify your creative ability? After watching this Oscar-worthy performance (start at the 2:00 minute mark), we know what you’re artistically capable of. And frankly, we expected more.
Oh, well. Advise as we might, Chet Haze will probably stick to the motto on his Facebook: “Keep on Hating, Meanwhile I’m Celebrating.”
this “rapper” should stick to ass-slapping his bros in pike. nobody cares that he uses $70 of his daddy’s money to buy purple weed. nobody cares about the blacked out freshman and their fake orgasms. nobody cares that he spent a half hour “spitting” into the music toys daddy got him for christmas. nobody cares about the yellow school bus he rides to chaperoned parties downtown.
“chet haze” is everything that is wrong with northwestern. fuck him and his daddy’s money. fuck his reflexive cockiness. I hope he takes a job with goldman sachs so his soul can rot there alongside all the “bros” like him from the past.

HUZZAH
“Get your hustle on. Understand people are gonna hate you regardless. Get that out of your head, that fantasy world where people ain’t hating on you… You need haters… WTF do you think a haters job is? To f’ing hate. So let them do their damn job… Fellas, if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of those m’fers.”
