After seeing the first stop of Jay-Z’s tour at Penn State on Friday, I drove back to Morgantown, WV and made it in time to see Lupe perform at an underpromoted fraternity Step competition Sprite was sponsoring on campus. Here’s a video I took on my iPhone of Lupe performing his new joint “Fire”; he gives a minute-long intro explaining the track and what it has to do with MTV’s recently released 2009 Hottest MCs List. I believe this is the first time he’s performed the track.
My man Lupe, you deserve to be on that list (so does KiD CuDi)! Anyway, I think that this is good for Lupe cause it's going to push him to do better music. Now this song right here I think is Fire itself.
