Lupe Fiasco Raps "Mural" Live 100% (9 minutes) No Gas

[@gods_sun626]

For him to rap that song word for word live with the lyrical degree of difficulty that song has proved Lupe is on another level with his craft. The most underrated rapper of his generation.

Still to this day this is one of my Lupe Fiasco go to songs. Love rapping along and running out of breath and/or messing up the exact flow. First time seeing a live version. Lupe is the G.O.A.T.!

[@proslackers5756]

Best $2 that guy ever spent.

[@josephamaha1]

Lupe is real though, he gave him back his 2 dollars after the song was over. This was in Sacramento i was lucky enough to see him.

[@718ufo]

Joseph amaha I wouldn’t even want that $2 back, like there are no 2 McChickens that would be more satisfying than those 10 minutes.

[@MysticPurge]

The guy on stage with Lupe is my homeboy and at this point in the show, Lupe was taking song requests. We were both gonna request Mural because he hadn't done it yet. Also, after he finished the song he gave my buddy his $2 back.

[@divinesound6686]

A lot of people have been asking, why is it so quiet or why didn't the fans rap along. Personally, I didn't want to ruin it. I've been to concerts before and felt comfortable singing over the artist but this was amazing. Also, it's one of THE most complex songs in modern rap. I still can't rap to this song to this day, I just put it on and always... DAMN. This album was a true master piece. Treating this concert like any other would be rap sacrilege. Just listen and give respect.

Hearing this song in the album is one thing, but hearing this song being performed live so flawlessly gives me a whole new appreciation for this song and Lupe as the Lyrical Master he once was and always will be.

[@TrevorHamberger]

I've seen him many times. Last time he couldn't remember the lyrics to the songs on food and liquor and the cool. He got like 1 verse in and quit. I was embarrassed that I recommended the show to others. I've seen him 7 times in concert and the last 2 were poor performances. What he was doing from like 2008 up to about 2016 was crazy. he's weak now. Somethings wrong with him.

I started rapping/freestyling/writing/performing when I was 15 yrs old because of how heavily Lupe Fiasco inspired me. This video helped me realize I've grown comfortable with my performances by spitting over vocals smh first I had only used hooks then Adlibs and now verses as well. I'm able to rap my entire songs, but now I want to go back to my roots and push my limit and ability. I won't grow if I have clutches, they'll secretly convert into crutches...ya smell me? I need to go back to my beginnings to reeach greater heights. I used to read a book a week, then it was per month, then next thing ya know I haven't read a full book in probably over a year now. I used to jump rope while freestyling everyday and now I'll do it every other week. Hell nah ima get back to it. I won't post my full life story or every thing I've been lacking lately, but I know I can do better. This helped me A LOT. Thank you Lu
