Lupe Fiasco - The Instrumental @ Boston College - March 27th 2009
"Genesis" by Justice is the perfect track to enter the stage...
it creates this heroic feeling...the JC shirt is cool, too.
Just got back to my room from the Lupe Fiasco and Ben Folds concert at my school. For those of you wondering why that combo was put together, trust me, I am right there with you. If you didn't know I'm a student at Boston College, which provided an interesting crowd that consisted of about a 50/50 split between the Fiasco and Folds fans.
This, along with our basketball stadium's horrible sound quality provided quite a challenge for Lupe.
After what seemed like an eternity, Folds' set was over and Fiasco took the stage starting off with "The Instrumental" off his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor.
The set lacked the organization that Lupe usually provides, but his great energy and intensity more than made up for it. He performed his basic songs including "Superstar", "Hip Hop Saved My Life", "Kick, Push", but also surprised the crowd by rapping his verse to "Everyone Nose".
The performance was somewhat cut short due to the midnight closing time, but Lupe still came out and did "Daydreaming" as an encore.
For the average fan or new listener, Lupe gave a great performance. Hopefully this motivated people to go out and spend the money to see him in a small venue with a full band. As someone who has seen him perform under perfect circumstances, this performance only showed part of his true potential.
Also for the beasts out there... Lupe mentioned that the CRS album is still in the making. I'm not sure I believe it, but as long as we get a couple more tracks I will be satisfied.
