Last night I went to the greatest concert I have seen thus far! Get this... THE ROOTS!! And as if that wasn't enough, LUPE FIASCO as the opening act! It was crazy. Needless to say, my voice was already gone by the time the opening act was over.
Then Lupe came on. It was ridiculous!! I can remember the crazy feeling when "Instrumental" began to play!! I thought my head would explode! It sounds even better live and literally 3 feet from Lupe Fiasco himself! I was there droppin' lyrics with the best of em', me and my African crew. I seriously could have watched him perform the entire album, but alas! (I can't believe people don't say that here), it was not to be.

Ude Lupe
The roots came on stage playing an assortment of percussion instruments and proceeded to rile up the crown with all manner of stage theatrics including a musical battle between an electrical guitar and a tuba! under the masterful hands of Kirk and Tuba Gooding jr.
The music defied conventional classification, I gave up trying somewhere between Justin Timberlake’s 'Bringing sexy back' and The Polices 'Roxanne'. Then there were Roots staples like "you got me" that just blew everyone’s mind.
The ROOTS!
The thing that really topped it all off though was how chilled out they all were, the whole band, save for questlove, came and chilled and took pictures with the Afro-fantastic crew! It was amazing!
Notice how the audience is almost overpowering the Lupe! rediculous!
