The trailer shows a bit of growth in the Spider-Man/Peter Parker character showing more awareness of the his love ones and even the people of the city that he vows to protect.

Day 1 of the Lupe Fiasco Show at Irving Plaza

With an extensive list of openers Lupe Fiasco had two well-known performers heading the bill along side him. First was Mickey Factz musically some would know for being part of Lupe’s All City Chess Club collective, a XXL nod by being named one of their Freshmen Class of 2009, then changing his name to Mickey MauSe. Non-musically he would be known for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time with Joe Budden while Joe was recording one of his many joebuddentv blogs as Raekwon would walk in and approach Joe about a “problem.” Last would be Stalley, of Rick Ross’ label MMG, known from appearing on each of the MMG Self Made compilation albums, and many other albums since 2008.

Mickey surprised with the crowd with his well put together song sampling the former half of Erykah Badu’s “Out My Mind, Just In Time” and in turn luring Lupe out the back stating, “Every time I perform this song my brother Lupe comes out to see me do my thang to this song. If y’all wanna see Lupe jump on the remix with me and Erykah make some noise.” And without hesitation the crowd went nuts and even more so as Lupe came out. He pranced around as Mickey Factz finished off the hook, which gave Lupe enough time to muster up enough thought to spit something for a quick freestyle to the same track. Lupe then left Mickey Factz to finish up his set in exchange for two slightly dressed beautiful women.

Stalley had the crowd in a trance as he performed songs off of his Honest Cowboy mixtape and Savage Journey to the American Dream as well. He controlled the movement of the mixed crowd who were either rapping along with him or bouncing to the strong bass of the beat. Let there had been seats in Irving Plaza last night and this had been a Ryan Gosling film the room would have been filled with people on the edge of their seats waiting for his next move.

Before Lupe came on the stage is set black and his sister Baba comes on reminiscent of the last two albums of her brother’s that’s she’s on (inciting the full room of Lupe fans to roar the loudest of the so far) to promote the Lupe Fiasco Foundation as well as the merchandise outside of the auditorium. Moments later ITAL begins and so does the video on the huge screen in the back of the stage as Lupe Fiasco walks onstage dressed in attire all black everything a slightly over bedazzled snapback, a mesh football jersey that read New York in the front and DROGAS on the back.
