At the front of the park, a late-arriving Lupe Fiasco tried his best to get the crowd in gear, starting with The Cool’s “Kick Push,” for which his band pulled out the stops, blending rock, soul, blues and hip hop elements in an awesome extended mashup. In fitted slick black track suit and a single piece of gold jewelry, Lupe was like a toned-down Kanye: less boastful but just as assured. It was easy then to get the crowd to agree when he asked “Who here loves hip hop? I love hip hop. ‘Cuz hip hop saved my life,” before launching into that titular track. Still, people weren’t bouncing as much as he would have liked, so Lupe spent his energy rushing the crowd and beseeching them, with raised arms, to rally. It was a battle he’d continue to fight through the set; at least, when he wasn’t wooing the ladies with tracks like “Sunshine.” It was pretty hard-fought—many folks remained seated on the ground. Perhaps if he’d dedicated “Sunshine” to the Potermelon instead of the women present, he’d have gotten better results.

I guess not every reviewer has to know what they are talking about
If you'd know a bit about Lupe you'd know that Kick, Push was on F&L
