Writing for KNSD, they said, "Fiasco made an offstage entrance, talking and teasing the impatient fans as they shouted, "Lupe, Lupe." The flow master burst onto the stage with an energy level that could outlast the Engergizer Bunny. [...] Fiasco was relentless and generous with his catalog of hits, seamlessly fusing rock, R&B and hip-hop. Near the end the show, Fiasco closed his eyes, clenched his hands around the mike and said, "I contemplated suicide," his intro for "Hip-Hop Saved My Life," a heartfelt song that captivated the audience. The crowd was then treated to a new track, "Scream," which was heavy on the electric guitar and full of potential. [...] Reminding everyone of the efforts of the Invisible Children organization that was to receive the donated proceeds from the night, Fiasco performed "Little Weapon," a lyrical protest about children being abducted and forced to serve as soldiers in an rebel army in Uganda."Lupe Fiasco Kicked, Pushed and Coasted at USD".
