Lupe Concert Recap

Hip-hop’s newest generation invaded the Civic Center, with B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco hitting the stage Tuesday night. Opening with “Airplanes,” B.o.B. commanded the stage, just him and an obnoxious DJ in the corner, yelling out obligatory DJ-like things. It wasn’t until he went acapella on…

Justified: Cowboy hats, Guns and Nazis in the not so old West
