Something I’ve noticed from watching Kendrick Lamar live shows is that this man loves to share the stage. He’s putting on a performance not hogging the stage all to himself.
When i went to see him for the damn tour he had hella dope acts, dancers, and was acually popping in and off stage when the lights went out like the undertaker😭 what a legend
No disrespect to Lil Wayne but Jay-Z got it right. It’s been established long before the beef that Kendrick is one of the best artists and live performers of all time. 2025 will be a movie! 🍿💯
Lil Wayne does have better songs that we all grew up to and can easily turn up to, but the thing is Kendrick is the better performer, Ik for sure he will put on one of the greatest half time shows ever
And people have the AUDACITY to question why he was selected to be the first rapper to headline a Superbowl halftime show smh he is going to KILL IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how after this rap beef Kendrick has gained a whole new population of fans. Can’t say the same for Drake. People are legit consuming Kendrick’s music out of genuine curiosity and becoming captivated. I love that for him. He is truly an ARTIST !
So true, just yesterday I saw people using Kendrick’s “I’m better” leak on their edits, it’s so cool. So happy kdot is getting the exposure he deserves, the true king of rap.
I’m one of them. Never really like rap but I’m hooked. Listening to all the old songs. My family laughs at me. 😂😂😂 They can’t believe I’m rapping KDot lyrics. 😂😂😂
@@antonaochavaoNaa 2016 doesn’t even come close to this performance for me. This 1 had better production, intensity, message & visuals imo!🔥 The different song choices went hard too. Most of which weren’t released as singles or radio hits. He also told a story here that can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the viewer. But that’s just me 🤷🏾♂️ Most important, nothing beats a random Chapelle cameo! Who btw, told ZERO 👌🏾 LIES! The fact I had to meet with Weinstein to find a decent copy of this performance, proves he was correct! TIL THIS DAY!! 👺
@Kidmarleymusic Same. Been listening to him since "adhd" and "Hol'up" and i always liked his music but i gotta say this 2 last years really turned me into a fan. Never seen a rapper this complete, flows, lyrics, hooks, beat selection (he even sometimes makes his own (united in grief, squabble up)), stage performances, versatility, discography, he has it all like no other !
It's rare to see hip-hop artists who are great at both - being extremely creative with their performances AND giving us just MC with the mic. Kendrick excels at both.🔥🔥
The lengths u have to go to, to find this performance anywhere proves Dave Chapelle correct! Make sure to watch it as many times as u can, while u can! Unfortunately this vid probably won’t be here for long! 😔
If u aint on surface level vote trump, stop the drake hate now, if he have done anything as wrong as kendrick says "God" will punish like him like he will punish the rest.
@@CuriousNun if we had to be there to see it, that says it all.. Kendrick's performances are legendary.. look at his tour concerts, SNL, Stephen Colbert, festivals.. the LV fashion week performance was EPIC.. it's not even close.. When it comes to live performances, no other rapper can touch this dude.. Not just a Drake and Cole statement..
I agree for the most part but I will say jcoles performance of be free on the David letterman show is definitely a memorable performance and one on his best that I go back to for the message and passion he put into that performance you can tell he felt every word he said
@@thzcrossbowsonly9329💯🫡 I was going to say the same for Cole. He never even made that an actual "single" or anything. But Kenny performances are literally all like this. I'm glad the battle brought folk back to why some of us said that he is the 🐐 of his generation.
@@Phumelela_Mpotuloas good as a rapper maybe, but not nearly as good as an artist. Andre 3k, Kendrick and Kanye are in another league of hiphop artistry
This has to be my favorite performance and I always come back to it. So much thought in each second. He's not a "dancer" but he visually captivates you with just head movements. I've just never seen someone manipulate a stage like him. Mark my words, MJ, Prince, James Brown, and all the other great performers before him have now crowned him the new king of the stage. What a legacy at such an early age. I pray he stays protected. The culture needed this.
did anyone else notice that when the “this is a satire by kendrick lamar” came up it could also be read as “this is kendrick” and “a satire by lamar” GENIUS WORD PLACEMENTTT ❤
@@detroiterz4931 after tpab dropped, there was never any doubt that he is the king of hip hop, and has cemented himself in rap's history. this comment will continue to age better and better as time goes. also fuck drake
Facts! Kendrick is like MJ’s theatrics combined with Prince’s musicality, and Dave Chappelle’s social commentary. Kendrick is a generational talent. We are lucky…lock in to this period.
Actually, it has stirred teens/young adults up to lean in, ask history questions, and examine what they were told and feed in classes about what America. FINALLY! Even though we're days before the end of school, they are asking for book recommendations for summer reads. 🤗
@@IStillHaveLightGod isn't something that's proven to you.He is the salvation in the spirit, the overwhelming joy, and love in the heart, and the conviction that drives the very soul of man. The reason you don't believe in God is because most people, myself included, have been corrupted by pridefulness, worldly desires, satanic influence, and SELF worship.In the end, it doesn't matter what anyone says, it doesn't matter how many times you read the bible and study the scriptures. If you don't have a personal connection with God or the Lord Jesus Christ, your soul will stay bound in torment, chaos, and everlasting misery.We as people really need to humble ourselves in the eyes of the Alpha and Omega. Prideful, blasphemous, narcissistic, and inferior human beings,have the nerve to think that God needs to prove himself to them oh HELL NO. It's called Free will my guy, if God was always around telling people to repent for their sins, denounce Satan, and to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The faith would have never been real, and that love, wouldn't be anywhere as close to the deeper, spiritual connection, TRUE worshipers of Christ have now. So you and that other lost soul keep idolizing these celebrities if you want, and let's see if "Captain cornrows" will come and save you from Everlasting damnation.I highly Doubt. Good day and God bless.
Kendrick is so talented… I truly hope he doesn’t give up on hip hop- the past few months have been rough for him.. even though he won some.. if you really look at all this, he could’ve just stayed home coz he lives his peace.. 6: 16 in LA is packed with so much knowledge
you know he reminds me of MC Hammer and before you start going in on me---Hammer had a phenomenal stage presence for a rapper and we never saw that at the time it was only Michael Jackson and he was a singer. I feel he channels MC Hammer in this respect.
I love this entire performance! This was the best performance I’ve ever seen. I remember watching this with my family and we were all going crazy with how powerful this was! Love you Kendrick!❤️🫶🏼
He's gonna kill the Super Bowl
YES! I CAN'T WAIT!!🔥
💯
If he doesn't perform one of the Drake diss I hope he performs XXX or Watch the party die

Especially after the popout
That part… all the SB complaints are ruining the moment.. I’m sure Kendrick was going to share the stage with NOLA artists regardless
The LUST beat with the XXX verse goes insanely hard

I’M SAYING!!!
fo sho

Kendrick gotta release this version of fr

even flies gonna watch K-Dot to perform
That Kings Dead part goes HARD. His breath control is otherworldly
He raps while running which is why his breath control is unmatched.
6 mile jogs every morning, Mentions it on his new album

@@TommyDidadsso you're saying this is better than Kendricks blacker than berry/alright performance on 2016?
What separates Kendrick from his closest competitors is his performances. He outclasses everyone everyday of the week on the stage
That's where he flexes his creative capabilities ❤️🔥🔥🔥
Funny this comment was before the diss, cause it's spot on right now with the J Cole situation
‼️‼️‼️ no one is touching him on his performances! He’s beyond rap!
It's actually his whole cerebral. Just like many Geminis, he on a whole other level
The visuals are amazing from videos to live shows. It’s incredible.
We are truly in for a treat at the Superbowl
Yes we are and I can’t wait!!!!!
And I hope it’s just him and no features like how Rihanna did it.
This is probably my favorite Kendrick award performance, he’s that talented man, just imagine what he gon do at the Super Bowl 🤯🤯🤯
I think the Untitled 8 one is the better one, at least for me. But his capacity to perform with live band is incredible
Drake really tried to battle this guy😂 fool’s move

And drake won lol😊

Kendrick always understood what he was sent to do and never misses
Respect. I’ve never seen a performance like this at a ward show. Kendrick is for the culture.
The only two people who can execute a performance like this is Beyonce and Kendrick. No wonder why they have worked so many times together.
He has a few. Enjoy yourself
It's rare to see hip-hop artists who are great at both - being extremely creative with their performances AND giving us just MC with the mic. Kendrick excels at both.🔥🔥
Finally a video that merges the audio and the visuals of this fkn goated presentation.

In all honestly without glazing, I never seen a rapper perform with this much energy besides Travis Scott
I love Travis Scott. But all he does is shout like hell. His most songs are not made for live performances.
I have watched this soooo many times😮
Super Bowl worthy performer no doubt
This is art!

BEST GRAMMY PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!! “YEAH GAWD!”
There will never be another Kendrick..!! “Nothing more dangerous than an honest black man..” - Truer words have never been said
Still to this day one of the best live performances I've ever seen
So good. Love that he’s pairing his music with the theatrics to help tell the stories. Who ever is art directing is doing a great job!
This was simply so ahead of its time
One of the best live performances.
I'm telling you this now! He will have a top 5 super bowl performance mark my words
