Lupe is never one to Dumb it Down.
Good on him for having other priorities besides only being a great rapper.
Hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco returned to Northwestern’s campus Wednesday night — this time not as a performer but as an advocate and educator.
Fiasco, actor Michael Ealy and author Anthony Arnove spoke Wednesday to more than 500 attendees as part of a campus tour to promote History’s new documentary, “The People Speak.” The performance at the Leverone Auditorium was hosted by the Center for Student Involvement and NU history prof. Nancy Maclean.
Fiasco last visited NU in May 2007 when he performed at Dillo Day.
The event took on a relaxed and easygoing tone, helped by Fiasco’s humorous yet perceptive attitude. At one point during the question-and-answer portion, Fiasco hugged a female student and convinced Ealy to do so as well.
