Chicago's Lupe Fiasco hits LA tonight with his manicured, brainy hip-hop. He first came on the mainstream scene in 2006 with his album Food and Liquor, and everyone, including Jay-Z, pegged him as the next great hip-hop act. Audiences, meanwhile, often saw him as a Kanye West prodigy, thanks to the pair's frequent collaborations and a similar sound — but Fiasco's music stands on its own, boasting laidback production and lyrics with a heavy pop influence. A nice break from thug posturing.
