CSUN played host to the ninth annual Big Show festival on Saturday. Lupe Fiasco may have been the main draw for a majority of attendants, but the opening support was nothing to overlook for true hip-hop fans.
Strong Arm Steady was the first act to break the filler after a lengthy warm-up DJ set from Power 106’s own DJ Felli Fel. A new group, Far East Movement, followed up with a stylish set that featured interplay between the DJ and emcees that channeled classic acts.
As for the main event, Fiasco busted out all the stops to ensure the show stayed true to its name and being “Big” in all aspects. His attitude carried the big band sound and an over-the-top lighting setup. Fiasco addressed his crowd, covering sentiments of war, political and social awareness.
He addressed such issues while still having fun, which he managed to do with ease. Fiasco ran through his massive catalog of hits such as skater anthem “Kick Push,” breezy “Paris Tokyo,” and megahit “Superstar.”
The combination of a DJ, drummer and a electric guitarist led to an organic yet sleek sound that felt like the future of hip-hop.
