About

Lupe Fiasco in Concert

Chicago-born, Grammy Award-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco gained national attention with his 2006 album Food & Liquor, which helped cement a new wave of Chicago rappers in the national conversation. Revisit the album that put Lupe Fiasco on the map, and changed the course of Chicago hip-hop forever.

The independent rapper who parted ways with his former label, Atlantic Records, following the release of 2015's Tetsuo & Youth, is pegged as one of the most gifted lyricists and visionaries to grace the mic. Rising to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album, Food & Liquor, Lupe has released six acclaimed studio albums; Drogas Light, released in 2017 on his own label, 1st & 15th. These albums have netted 3 platinum singles, 3 RIAA Gold Certifications, 12 Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award in 2008 for his infectious single, "Daydreamin," feat Jill Scott. With a trilogy of albums set for 2018 and beyond, Lupe is at his creative peak as an artist. Most recently, Drogas Wave released on September 21st, 2018 via 1st & 15th. His efforts to propagate conscious material helped solidify him as GQ's Man of the Year in 2006, and garnered recognition as a Henry Crown Fellow.

While musical genius and ingenuity are at the forefront of Lupe's achievements, the artist extends his innovation to projects that aim to foster creative discourse and opportunities in underprivileged and impoverished communities. As the co-founder and co-owner of community initiatives such as, We Are M.U.R.A.L, The Neighborhood Start-Up Fund, Society of Spoken Art, and Studio SV, Lupe Fiasco proves that he is more than just a mouthpiece for change, but a committed facilitator of intellectual community discourse and outreach.

    Unforgetable Experience

    by Kamerin on 7/18/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    This concert was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! It was a musical party. Lupe Fiasco performed numerous songs from his album The Cool as well as his previous albums. Even the new song he performed from his new and upcoming album blew my mind. The beat was tight! It had a huge rock influence following Lupe's usual hip hop flow. Lupe really put serious energy into this concert and you could tell he was glad to be home, THE CHI!!! I have to say, even the concert's opening was awesome...the Dj played some dope old school and new school songs that kept the audience bumpin'...Lady Sovereign's performance was ok, many of the songs she was perfoming I never heard but when she performed her hit song, "Love me or hate Me" it got the audience jumping. But of course we couldn't wait for the infamous Lupe to perform. After he came onstage, the rest was history!!!!!!!

    Spectacular

    by hipxparalysis on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Never have I ever before felt like I was in the presence of a superstar, and I've seen plenty of Grammy award winning artists in concert. Lupe is a class act, he was a great showman, and he played an awesome setlist (the new song was unbelievable). I cannot wait to see him again - hopefully another hometown show in Chicago. Lasers coming out soon - buy it! See Lupe Fiasco! Support him and his art!!!!!!!!!

    chicago theater is a great venue!!

    by jogee on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    In general, the "Dew Tour "seemed rather amatuerish. It felt very bare bones and the talent leading up to Lupe was very average at best. Lupe is a fantastic performer although again, I would love to see back up singers with him. I realize the price of the tickets may prohibit this but it would be SO much richer!!!

    Lupe was simply AMAZING

    by LisaMaria on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    He put so much energy into his performance. This was the day after Michael Jackson passed away and he gave a wonderful tribute to him. I like how Lupe did his new songs as well as his old songs, and even unreleased songs. I loved "Shining Down" and can not wait for the Lasers album!

    lupe 4 sure

    by kandeman on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Defintely had a good time at the lupe fiasco show... didn't really enjoy the set by lady sovereign so much... but gotta give props to the drummer that performed with her!! He defintely killed it! As for Lupe himself, very energetic, and he seemed to have boundless energy! Performed at a frenetic pace the entire night! Loved repeating the lines to his songs with the rest of the crowd! Only negative of the night, was finding my seats... that proved to be harder than finding bin laden!!! Once the lights were off, my chances evaporated! Top that off with late arriving seat holders, and i was forced to watch most of the show from the balcony!! But it didn't matter, since no one was sitting anyway!!!

    The F'in BEST

    by DjJazzyJam on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Lupe killed period. I can't say enough! This is a real hip hop artist, certainly the best doing it right now and he ranks with the best to ever grace the mic!! Everything was dope. I had floor seats and everything. He and Lady Sovereign put on a REAL HIP HOP concert. You just don't really come across these anymore. Don't let this opportunity pass, and the tickets were very reasonable!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lupe can.... GO GO Gadget FLOW!!

    by Dave314 on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Lupe was incredible. The theater was going crazy the entire night. Everyone was standing and dancing to his songs all night. His Michael Jackson tribute where he played an MJ song and brought that girl on stage to dance was AWESOME! He played every song from THE COOL that I could have possibly wanted to hear. Dumb it Down Was definately the best performance of the night. Lupe played with alot of energy and got the crowd signing as well. I would DEF go to another Lupe concert immediately!

    Chi-Town stand Up!

    by felix123 on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Lupe represented the Chi to the fullest. Great set - mixing in the old, with a tease of the new. Lady Deathstrike or whatever the opening act was was forgettable and lacked goodness of fit for this show.

    Kept it real - Simply Amazing

    by ChiTownMexican on 7/17/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Following his performance from the Glow in the Dark Tour, Lupe Fiasco has always kept it real with his fans. From beginning to end, his performance was spot on. Performing his first single off his album, Shining Down, was unbelievable, definitely one of those "had to be there" moments. Would buy tickets to him in concert again in a heart beat.

    by GORDOS420 on 7/16/09The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    If you love Lupe Fiasco then i would say to see him.If you love only his old stuff then you will be dissappointed.He played like 6 songs from his new cd.I'm more of a fan of his old stuff but i still had a blast.
