CMU Spring Carnival

CMU Spring Carnival is an annual three-day event held by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2013, the original performer was going to be Ludacris, though in "less than 48 hours," the rapper cancelled from the event. The organizers declared Lupe Fiasco to be the replacement act."CMU Spring Carnival (cmuspringcarnival)". Facebook. April 5, 2013."LUPE FIASCO - presented by AB Concerts". Facebook. April 19, 2013.
The school's newspaper The Tartan reported issues with organization, where 2,000 tickets were sold but only 1,500 people were allowed in the venue. They praised Fiasco's performance: "Once his first song began, the audience's hands went into the air, and Lupe sang and rapped for 10 minutes without a break. The singer's passion was evident through his every move and his lyrics. Lupe might be a man of relatively few words, but he sang so closely to students, making eye contact and almost touching the audience, that he was definitely fully engaged with his fans. He even splashed water at the audience, further exciting the crowd."Tsien, Amy (April 26, 2013). "Lupe Fiasco presents high-energy concert". The Tartan.
