Thanks for the recommendation to go see Lupe Fiasco!!!!
The University of Houston Student Program Board set up a Homecoming concert last Friday. It was slated to be Wale opening up fr Lupe Fiasco. My wife had been dealing with severe tooth pain and luckily the pain meds actually worked so we were able to go to the show.
Slim Thug stepped up and did a surprise 30 minute set of his H-Town classics! It was great. He got the crowd moving.
Then Wale came out and oh my god I do not know if it is because he is a bit caught upon himself because his tunes are all over the radio or what but the fool showed up so lit he was sloppy as fuck. he could not stay in meter or key and it was all around weak, but luckily he was at least entertaining in his stage patter. and he fell over at least 3 times. wasted., I think the H-town rappers that showed up to hang backstage hit him with that top shelf H-town smoke.
In the middle of Wale's set, (I think because they could see he was ruining it) Bun B jumped on stage and did a couple of tunes which was bad-ass.
Then Lupe got onstage, and right off he says "9 minutes straight people. 9 minutes" and proceeds to spit a super long track which was fucking hype and awesome and dense and the beat was so hard and it was EVERYTHING. I remembered the name (MURAL!) It was fucking great and his whole set was awesome. He performed for over 80 minutes and the crowd got nuts
Best Homecoming Concert ever!
