Lupe performed at the University of Iowa yesterday, here's a little report of what went down, via The Daily Iowan:
Hubbard Park was transformed into a mosh pit of black-and-gold on Thursday night, as thousands of people stood in anticipation for rap star Lupe Fiasco to take the stage.
Frisbees flew in the background next to a bombardment of fans rushing into Hubbard Park around 7:30 p.m. for the event’s main attraction — Grammy Award-winning artist Fiasco.
Between 8,000 to 10,000 stood in the dark, with loud music booming from the speakers, waiting for him to take the stage.
Then spirited Hawkeye fans stopped and screamed a welcome as the stage lights went dark. Beaming lights of blue and white flashed across the stage as Fiasco started his set....click HERE to read the full report!

ReplyDeletealittle fyi for everyone:
They were selling White "We are lasers" shirts last night.. they are the same design as the black ones except they are white with red-ish writing.. they're sick. One funny thing about them though, is that on the back of the tag it has the words: No shackle, No sugar. All Sabotage!!! HAHA
and also at the beginning of the concert I was talking to a couple of guys who work at fnf and while we were talking, lupe came up and was just chillin with us.. I WAS ABOUT 3 FEET AWAY FROM LUPE FIASCO!! It was insane.. i didn't get to officially meet him though, because he was on the phone but all in all.. the night was great!
One more thing.. lu did a sick freestyle to the "I run this town" beat.
yeah that freestyle was TIGHT. he even incorporated a little we are lasers and iowa city into it, so that was cool. and if i woulda had cash i woulda bought the shirt, but unfortunately i did not have any on me
ReplyDeleteyea i know it was sweet... Do you think Lupe himself actually went to union? or just some of the other guys?
ReplyDeleteit was AMAZING. i never thought the day would come that I would be able to see him, but it did! WOOOO! he's a fantastic performer, having the big baby bam guy on the drums made the songs even better. i absolutely loved the show.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure if lupe was there or if it was just some of his crew. i will find out today thought and post on here later about it though, either way i'm disappointed i missed my chance
