The crowd went bananas when he got on stage.
The Chitown based rapper gave the Lupeheads tracks and hits off his two platnum CD's "Food and Liquor" and The Cool" including "Hello/Goodbye," Hip Hop Saved my Life"and "And he gets the Girl."
He was literally a Tasmanaian Devil on stage!
Full of hip hop energy!
He was sketerboi chic!
Lupe and his hypeman on stage.
His fans knew every lyric to his songs. We heard many folk from Ch-town came down for the show.
He didnt leave a spot on stage untouched!
In rock mode!
Totally free on stage!
A backstage view of Lupe in action!
Lupe also spun a few songs taht he wa seither a guest on or just wanted to get teh crowd hype inclduing Kanye's "Touch the Sky," and the hip-hop jams, "Aint I" and "Day and Night."
He told the crowd, "This is sick. The Mississippi River is behind us and under the famous St. Louis ARK." LOL
The Lupe heads were rite with him!
It had to have been over 10,000 Lupe heads at the concert!
Lupe also did his hits including his first one,"Kick/Push"
This was the only time Lupe took a break to wipe his face off with a towel!
He also spat hits, "Superstar" and "Daydream."
He also performed a new joint from his upcoming (and supposedly last ) CD "Aliens' called, "Falling Down." Afterwards he said, "You gotta smile through the haters."
