MTV wrote of the performance, "...Lupe appeared from the side of the stage adorned in a black leather jack, jeans and shirt. Trey's appearance with Lupe was a bit brief as Lupe launched directly into the first single from the Lasers album "The Show Goes On." Rocking out with a full band and backup singer, Lupe thrilled the crowd and gave an energetic performance while fans reached up towards the rapper as he bounced about the stage with enthusiasm—with approving applause coming from the attendees at the end of his short set."Chandler, D.
