      sort of.. the vocal track we're actually hearing is a playback of a recorded take from before the show went to air. still impressive nonetheless, but there are several parts where it is blatantly obvious that he is lip syncing to a pre-recorded track. and please understand that I say this with absolutely zero disrespect, I still find it to be super impressive because the vocal track is in fact a live recording. that is definitely not the studio vocal track. In the performance, Kendrick even seems to acknowledge it at about 3:07 when he flashes the message on the wall that says "YEA WE STILL PLAYING INDUSTRY POLITICS".

    Absolutely outstanding - lyrics, performance, and lighting/special effects. And all of that in a cubicle with a standing fan - live. The song is subtle, and the lyrics are far-reaching and profound - the shadow that moves while he is standing still, foreshadowing the layered lyrics that follow. Excellent in every way. Respect.
    I'm a 72-year-old white man, but I will always recognize and appreciate true art, in whatever form it presents itself. This was minimalistic and masterful - he does much more with less.

But if youre a grown up who doesn't bullshit yourself you can take a look at the definition of an artist before you start bullshiting- which says an artist is- a person who practices any of the various creative arts, such as a sculptor, novelist, poet, or filmmaker.
      a person skilled at a particular task or occupation
      FOH.. pointless ass irrelevant mf'er. That's alll beside the point. But I get it you want to bullshit and stroke your dick say your an artist even though you don't create shit.

Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice!
