Lupe Fiasco flexes fearless lyrical muscle tonight (9/23/11)

Posted By on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 7:00 AM

Lupe Fiasco One of hip-hop’s most flexible lyricists, his evolution has seen perception of him go from Kanye West feature and Pharrell collaborator to a bold and genuine social commentator that long-time listeners know he’s been all along. His sharp and fearless criticisms of politics and society mesh well with him doing music closer to the gangster rap influences he grew up on, not the backpack label he was slapped with. $34-$57.85. Time Warner Cable Uptown Amphitheatre. www.livenation.com.
