Lupe Fiasco – “Mural Jr.” (Live Performance) [Video]
Live. Lyricism. Lupe. Under the bridge. On these streets, where it matters. Unexpected but not uncharacteristic. Fiasco is only a ‘disaster’ to wack rappers’ careers. The rest of us in the real Hip-Hop Nation… we fux with dude heavy! Stuff like this is why.
For his live performance of “Mural Jr.†we took him underneath NYC’s Williamsburg Bridge for a shoot that nods to the ‘Drogas Wave’ theme. There’s a clear view of the East River waters next to the downtown Manhattan walkway ‘Lu prowled while rhyming a cappella. His inspired take on the track (the sequel to the ‘Tetsuo & Youth’ original, “Muralâ€) gains extra emotional clout by insightfully incorporating the local landscape. Hold up!
Even the bridge above had to make some noise and give love #HoldUp
