The Enmore Theatre throbbed as a near capacity crowd chanted with nervous anticipation for their idol, “...Lupe, Lupe, Lupe...”, going nuts as the rapper finally arrived after a ridiculously OTT electric guitar solo. He swaggered onto stage in a navy military jacket resplendent with polished brass buttons. When the Chicago native last toured, just over 12 months ago, he brought a six-piece band and all the trimmings with him; this tour however was a slightly more low-key affair, in hip-hop terms anyway. The entourage consisted of DJ Simon Says, a guitarist, a man-mountain of a drummer (who played with two drumsticks in each hand) and what I can only assume was a bodyguard who spent most of the show wandering aimlessly around the stage and occasionally dancing clumsily with cluster of hot-pant clad, squealing groupies on stage right.
iPhones twinkled above the audience as Lupe Fiasco skipped and hopped nimbly around the stage during ‘Shining Down’ with unrivalled energy. The crowd hung on his every word, even the slightest hint of a sly smile eliciting shrieks of delight. During ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life’ Lupe raised his hands up and down over his loyal subjects, resembling a puppet master as the audience rose and fell to the jazzy base line. More...
