Lupe came out to Raleigh, NC last night to perform at the Sprite Step Off Qualifier. When he came on stage and saw the small crowd standing in the rain, he said, "I will always put on the same show, whether there's a thousand people or one person, I will always put on the same show". And so, he went on to perform Kick, Push, I Gotcha, Go Go Gadget Flow, Hip Hop Saved My Life, Shining Down, Touch The Sky, and Superstar.
At one point, he said, "Where my ladies at?" and then stood there counting each and every girl in the crowd, which totaled 48. He said, "I dedicate this next song to each one of you" and went on to perform Paris, Tokyo. Later, he said, "Out of the 48 ladies and maybe 30 guys, at least 20 percent of you should know this next song" and performed Daydreamin'.
So despite the small crowd and the rain, Lupe still killed it and put on an amazing show. Check out footage and photos from the night below.

At least he has 78 dedicated fans in NC. Props to Lupe for still doing the show.
ReplyDeleteso cool.
ReplyDeletei cant say that i would stand out in the cold & rain to see any artist, even my favortie rap artist... it would have to be micheal jackson back from the dead to get me to do that. so props to those that stayed...but im not sure lupe really had the same energy ive seen him give at most shows...
ReplyDeleteWow....well I guess Raleigh are some punks when it comes to the weather,lol..I am sorry but I am from B-Lo! We get temperatures in single digits and still go out hard! I mean, I waited in freezin rain with a mixture of hail to see NERD and I dont regret a single moment of it,lol...I dont even think most of the pack crowd minded either because GOOD music is worth it! But, whatever! It is GOOD to see Lu do his thang regardless...I really would like to see footage of his PARIS, TOKYO perforamance...I know that was special:). GOD, I would love to be one of the 48 ladies he was singin too*sigh*. (Excuse the chick moment,lol)
