== Critical reception ==
The Mercury News penned, "He cleverly organized the songs to fit a storyline, one that had Fiasco as the tour guide on a trip through his hometown of Chicago and, eventually, into San Francisco. He spoke casually with the crowd members, filling their ears with intriguing bits of both Windy City and Bay Area color, and always cued up his songs as masterfully as a veteran DJ."Harrington, Jim (January 14, 2008). "Lupe Fiasco Lives Up to 'Rap Savior' Billing in S.F. Show". The Mercury News.
