7 Lessons To Learn At A Lupe Fiasco Concert

Written by Yana
after the Refresh Your Flow concert
at the Fillmore in NY


Lesson One: If you have tickets to a free concert that admits people in on a first-come-first-serve basis, an hour early arrival is not early enough!

-Security allowed folks in at 6PM. I arrived at 5PM. And there was still a long line of people in front of me. Maybe it’s just me; I’m not the type to wait long hours for anything…except Lupe.

Lesson Two: Tall people should not stand in the front of the audience.

-Seriously! If I can’t even see above your shoulder, even while I’m tip-toeing, then you need to move!

Lesson Three: Beware of girls standing in front of you who have big hair and like to twirl their head around.

-This chick slapped me twice with her ponytail, I wanted to take her ponytail and shove it down her throat!

Lesson Four: Lupe likes it when you shout: “I LOVE YOU, LUPE!”
-He’ll reply, “I love you too”—unless you’re a dude.

Lesson Five: Lupe loves it when you memorize his lyrics.

-He paid close attention to a particular girl in the audience who knew the lyrics to “Sunshine” like, he made eye contact with her and everything and he got a kick out of it. I don’t normally memorize artists’ lyrics, unless I hear it often. But, I’ll memorize Lupe’s just so he can make eye contact with me at his next NYC concert.

Lesson Six: Lupe loves “love.”

-He loved it enough to let his personal photographer, Bryant, propose to his girlfriend, Janie, during his set. Definitely an “Aww!” moment.

Lesson Seven: If you’re gonna stand for four straight hours at a concert, at least wear some comfortable shoes!

-Heels at a concert? Never again!

Lupe Fiasco Interview With The Windy City Times

12:33 PM 5 comments




Lupe Fiasco entertained teens at the Park West on Sunday, Aug. 17, in an invitation only concert sponsored by Coca-cola. The“ Refresh Your Flow Tour” hit major cities along with Chicago to give teens an opportunity to meet the artist responsible for the songs “Superstar” and “ Paris Tokyo.” With the line wrapped around the building, Lupe sat down for a few minutes to talk to Windy City Times.

Windy City Times: Many people may not know that you are from Chicago. Where did you grow up?

Lupe Fiasco: West Side, Madison and Kedzie. I went to school there until 6th grade then moved to the suburbs.

WCT: And now you are a Grammy winner. You seem like you have surrounded yourself with amazing artists. What was it like performing with Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Jill Scott?

LF: It was dope, crazy experiences with Patrick from Fall Out Boy and The Roots. It's a dream come true.

WCT: I love your song “Hip Hop Saved my Life.” What inspired it?

LF: When I did that song a year and half ago, Hip Hop was getting a lot of bad press. I wanted to put a statement out there that Hip Hop saves a lot of people. Sometimes that's all people have got.

WCT: How did you get involved with the tour?

LF: Coca-cola invited me out. This gave me an opportunity to perform my music for a large section of my fan, which are underage kids and teenagers. I have done this venue before. This group can't come to the venues that are 18 and over.

WCT: Do you have other tours planned for the future?

LF: I am putting together a big college tour for the fall.
Then I am going back overseas.

WCT: And you just did Lollapalooza here in Chicago, so you are all over the place. What is the next step for you musically?

LF: Working on my next album and working on my label.

-I heard about the college tour already..first dates have been announced.

But that he'll play concerts overseas again is news to me.
I'm sure it's gonna be dope.

I'm still waiting for a concert in Germany.
