Imagine seeing this and thinking to yourself "you know what? I can battle this guy".
Or even the shadow behind the guy 😂😂🤔
In his heart, Drake knew better! He's just been so gassed by folks and Kendrick been gone living real life that Drake forgot. 😂
I blame his fans 😩
Lol yo chill
Tbh I know what drake's feels, being the biggest rap artist in stream era, but someone else got the title best rapper in this generation. It's annoy him probably
I'm here on a victory lap, boys...
Ive been responding to week old drake love comments asking them if they are doing ok, its amazing
@left5645 lmao you on demon time just like K dot 😂😂
still needing to breaathe from meet the grahams lmao
@@left5645 😂😂😂
Yooo i went to the liqour store for this Kdot run.
I don't understand how Drake could hear all this music, then see all this performances and think "yea let me start a rap battle with this guy"...
Clout chaser
Drake exposed himself .. he thought Kendrick would lose the internet battle
Same way lupe thinks he better than Kendrick
😂😂😂 exactly
Pills
drake this, drake that, the real difference is that kendrick is an Artist, a Poet, a man of self awareness and reflection you can’t even find the words to try and compare drake to this
I always had Kendrick above Drake, but this beef just made that gap 10x wider. the amount of respect I lost for Drake, and the amount of respect I gained for Kendrick is insane. time is gonna tell, more and more, how great this dude is
A wonderful human, and not a pedophile
Agree dope
Perfectly put
drake is a sex criminal
"Stop playing with me fore I turn you to a song" hits different now.
That shadow dancing in the back is cold as hell
Right!!? The cognitive dissonance, the non alignment ... love it!
"Stop playing wit me before I turn you into a song." No truer words ever spoken❤️
THIS is what most rappers WISH they could do. Perform every word live and command a stage by themselves without a bunch of features, back up singers, and antics. This is why Kenny is the greatest rapper alive! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always find it impressive how rappers navigate through not using curse words during these live TV performances, it's definitely not easy lol
He did a great job
It’s so silly though. I don’t get how cursing is such a bad thing for USA TV while y’all see people die on the news. Doesn’t make sense.
@@immanismjr5606 it's hard to avoid those words cause they come so naturally in the song 😭😭😭
@@immanismjr5606 especially since you can literally rap about murdering and selling drugs but they'll draw the line if you swear while doing it
It is easy
The shadow dancing while he standing still was fireeee nobody even reacted i wouldve lost my mind
FAXXXX BRO!!!!!
I’m telling u mane!
I noticed that too dude, god damn cool
“A mask can’t hide who you are inside” it’s like the whole theme. What he showing on the surface is different than what he’s feeling on the inside
I was looking for this comment
Just seeing him perform live alone would tell you "leave this man alone, he's a problem, and will probably embarrass you." Drake is the definition of a madman and he paid dearly for challenging Kendrick.
That shadow effect blew my brains out!! King Kendrick the gOaT
They use that at his shows in 20 different ways... its crazy amazing
Not to any credit from him, the shadow dancing in concert originated from Michael Jackson's Smooth criminal 👑
@@JamesRichardsjrJR777 Yeah that's so true
Stop throwing around the word GOAT, Kendrick great but one GOAT, NASTY NAS.
Just realized I’ve been here before wanted to like this comment twice 🥹😅
Rich Spirit is underrated as hell on the album, so I’m glad Kendrick loves performing it. So catchy & replayable
underrated? it's the most loved song on the album and that's a popular opinion. me personally I love this song
@@syre_iam Mera fav hai yeh kzhead.info/sun/a5VrlsWPaGmkhpE/bejne.html
Incredible
Wouldn’t say underrated, cause it’s one of the most popular/best songs on the album
I can watch this performance over and over and over again without getting tired 🥺😍
I’m so happy he incorporated some of the shadow filters in this like he had in the steppers tour. Those visuals were awesome throughout the show.
Seriously!!! Whoever choreographed and designed his show did an amazing job
It was like a live concert !! ❤
@XD absolute garbage
Yeah love Kendrick
a filter?
Been coming back to his art everyday since he defeated the culture vulture. I'm glad I've been a fan since day one, and have been able to witness all of this greatness. I grew up on 127th Street off of El Segundo and Wilmington. Compton is a small city in Los Angeles county but it has produced a lot of greats and im so proud of them all. All hail the KING.
Kendrick is what I call a ARTIST
*an
I love how every performance he does, he can change his cadence and flow on spot.
Saw him in concert and almost fainted when he did the voice change LIVE❤️🔥 I always thought it was a computer changing his voice
Creative genius
plus every performance of him was way creative
Yea that’s talent right there
A master in the making… Completion will occur in his next life when he truly arrives…. Something we will not be able to witness so enjoy the process.
Anytime I see Kendrick perform I have to remind my self that we are truly witnessing one of the best ever to do it. Incredible talent.
Said the same thing when I saw him on tour couple months ago dudes a living legend
yo tom tag jay pop love is murder
This album got certain fans appreciating him even more
Yup. Every time I’m like “don’t forget this is legendary”
@XD excuse me, stop spamming every video with the same post
That's what the rap game miss. Real talent and a message to everyone's OWN self.......... if U Man Enough✌🏾🤘🏾
I love Kendrick Lamar’s work sooo much. He is brilliant.
I'm a cryer. I cried after watching this.
I was at his concert in brookyln. You gotta watch the amazon video of it. It was mind blowing.
@@AidanDotDash I cannot even imagine how kind bending it would be to watch him work live and in person. He’s one of the greatest writer’s / performers I’ve ever listened to. Whst did you love most about the concert? What was it like? The energy of everyone around you must’ve been amazing. Thanks for sharing.
@@katielouieschwartz The energy was great throughout the entire show! The choreography, staging, effects, and lighting were all phenomenal and mind blowing. I think like my most memorable moment was when he transitioned from Alright to Mirror and the stage started to rise as he was rapping. Being able to actually see how he preforms and excuses some songs really adds to the story of the new album. I’m going to be seeing him again twice this year at festivals and I highly recommend going to see him at least once if you can! you will not regret it i promise you!
@@AidanDotDash Transitioning from Alright to Mirror that way is transcendent. I'm thrilled you're going to another concert. I will definitely go. I have to see him perform. Kendrick is hands down, one of the greatest writers/rappers of our time. I love listening to his work and watching his videos. Thank you for describing what it's like to see him live, I really appreciate it. Have a good weekend.
I remember seeing some people say rich spirits was their least favorite track because of his rapping style on it, but I fucking love it. It's so ambient and cool mysterious vibes.
same
It's easily one of my favorites on the album!
Easily one of my favorites on the album.
That song is a vibe for sure
no one said that
The visuals are vastly creative. Kendrick poured his heart into this performance, the energy on N95 was unreal. Amazing stuff.
"This" you must havent seen his performances in the past...
It must be so hard not to swear lmao
And you're right.
If you think he poured his heart in this, listen to how lazy he performed this vs how he performed untitled 2… this man didn’t gaf😂and I’m the biggest Kendrick fan you’ll meet
Yeah that was dope. One of the rare unskipable SNL performances
All of his performances feel like a short film. I’m always in awe of his visuals. Such an amazing artist.
^
Kendrick is a world-class artist with razor-sharp precision in his performances. He simply doesn't mess around. I recently saw him on tour and we as an audience got one single smile (worth the wait) from him at the very end of the show. He knows just how important his message is.
Yes I remember that. I saw right when he went down. It was so beautiful.
profound...so many lyrics to quote "they copy off us!" whaat he called them "crackers" but made it sound so poetic genius
We must have been at the same show. That one smile is still with me ❤😊
If you ever get the opportunity, you gotta see him perform live
Ai kzhead.info/sun/h9mik7Gro6uEpnA/bejne.html
I've seen him live twice and I totally agree with you.
@@death4experienzd4e94 seen him perform at RL Miami 2022, one of the best performances I've ever seen
Going to watch him in December 😁😁😁
Best concert ever he puts on a great so glad I got to see him live

I love this performance, he’s great at everything he does no doubt.

Dave Free is a genuine genius and he lays low l
Never really paid much attention to Kendrick even though I know the name, just checking out a bunch of stuff because of the Drake thing. Holy shit this guy's good.
Genius
drake could never btw edit: family matters was kinda good icl, and also theres this weird thing where everyone already knows that drake is a bit weird when it cones to relationships, BUT if it comes out that kendrick is an abuser then that greatly affects his persona and reputation, i believe more so than drakes allegations would affect him, like kendrick is at higher risk. kendrick forever tho
can kendrick do r&b & pop like drake? NO
@@bad-ass-sidekicks67 can drake do music like kendrick without ghostwriter?
💯
@@eugenecinense4929 talking about ghost writers in 2024 is so lame . drake has been in industry for over a decade and have written solid tracks before melkiet (alleged ghost writer)
@@bad-ass-sidekicks67 how about lyricism? We'll wait till Drake respond on Kendrick and we'll see who's the real tough 💪

@@thatdude3977 No role modelz, eh?
This man is to be protected at all times.
I volunteer to protect him 🙋🏾♀️ lol
NO PROTECTION IS RISKY
True
He just a regular dude like us all. He understands how sh1t works. Yes he is brilliant but no Jesus. He'll tell ya that
I hate that this lame protected thing has become a thing
This man makes music that transcends generations. 🇵🇷
I love seeing people like Katt Williams and Kendrick Lamar get their flowers over and over and over again. 2024 lit af and it’s only May, folks!
This performance was amazing, really shows how great Kendrick really is
No it didn’t
Kendrick Lamar is next level and in a league of his own. Always theatrical and smartly conceived performances.
Greatest artist of this generation
The GOAT. He’s already a legend. 🔥❤️🙌🏽
Not even
Yeah he's so high on himself now that No one understands what the hell he's doing!
@@shylock5477 Nice argument shit lock
Broski. He did that shit LIVE. His rapping is crisp and heard right. My ears feel like they be ringing!
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".
@@jamesd.6979 That's just part of the adlibs.
Dude, I'm an Audio Engineer. It is not "part of the adlibs". lol I have no reason whatsoever to make this up.@@GabrielSilva-yz6qd

A1 performer. Kendrick sounds damn good live. Unlike others in the game. Goat no question about it.
Just thinking this!
Same...
This man remains changing the culture without any outside influences. Stays relevant without being in the publics eye. Gives us more understanding of him without interviews and antics. Resurfaces to remind us that at the end of the day his art comes first. True living legend. We salute you. #Dot
so well said
@@standardbrah I appreciate it Curtis 🙏
Kendrick is who Kanye think he is. I've been saying this for years. I'm a huge Kanye fan but he don't have that authenticity like Kendrick.
@@thadb5321 I've never heard it that way but you might have a point bro! Good take 👏🏽
Absolutely beautiful words omg ur comment was breathtaking and so very true
Kendrick's music at this point is therapeutic
agreed
Very
Well most of it feels really cathartic, the most cathartic one I think are U, The Blacker The Berry, We Cry Together, Auntie Diaries and Mother I Sober.
yoi star truck tag jay pop love is murder
Every falling back and listening to his old shit fuel his message god got him he’s in a good space family let’s pray for him✊🏾✊🏿
Kendrick dressed like prime Katt Williams. I'm here for it. 🙌🏾
Saw him in Oakland last month. Man is a fucking genius. His newer stuff won't be chart toppers, but he's just on an untouchable level right now with Steppers. Who knew by 30 this man would already be one of the greatest to ever do it. The breath control, the storytelling, the visuals, the message...As complete as they come. Love myself some K dot
that breath control
He's well over 30, but yes
Yes this name is amazing
He’s the whole package. His stories just pull you in. So REAL
@@space_orphan not that far tbh,but feel what you're saying.
His energy will always match when his performing live. I love it
His most slept on album!!!
He is something special
Kendrick is one of the best hip hop live performers I’ve ever seen because not only does he say every word of his songs. But his performances are choreographed and have an artistic vision. Makes him stand out so much from a lot of rap artists who just hold the mic and shout (some of) their lyrics.
He wants to bring that MJ style to hiphop. To cement himself in convo of the best ever. I respect it
@XD your inviting people who didnt ask to come and dislike everything on your channel 🤣🤣🤣 hope this being for views ruins your channel
@@DuttyDoes that’s actually a great way of putting it and tbh after damn he already cemented himself as one of the greatest to ever do it.
@@pashanamir6151 I agree I personally had him there from TPAB
I guess you have not seen the greats
Kendrick is seriously the greatest of all time! The art behind this performance is beyond amazing 🔥✨
Other rappers have done better
@@Darkstar_Dayne doubt
literally KING 👑
yo jen tag jay pop love is murder
Saw his concert this past summer. Used that shadow ‘trick’ so effectively. Brilliant.
No auto tune or nothing, holy shit so good
Kendrick is the TRUTH! The culture needs him! Black Therapist here 🙋🏽♀️... so proud of the mental health themes in the album.💛☀️
That album was the final push that inspired me to actually start therapy. I appreciate him a lot
@nahhhhhhh he made the album he wanted to make 🤷🏽♂️
@nahhhhhhh that’s why she said need. There is a lot of toxicity and if the album helped one person it did its purpose
@nahhhhhhh too many people are afraid to admit to the problems he addresses that’s why. People rather ignore the facts he is talking about and only want “party” music
Cringe
This man is not just a rapper, he's the greatest artiste / performer of our generation.
Ye’s old performances rival for sure but I’d say it’s close, also ye produces so I’d probably give him the edge personally
@@WILLINGLYWILD that's fair, he's the only rapper I'd probably give the edge as well
First rapper to have a Pulitzer, he made history.
@@uravidlistener kendrick top 3 alive easily I’d say, to me personally Ye is too it’s the third I can’t decide on, I’m thinking as far as message and performance skill/ability, maybe J Cole?
Best live performer is travis scott😮💨
I love when kdot shifts his vibe when performing. I also really really appreciate the added chorus at the end of N95. I think he's the most prolific hip hop artist of all time, more than pac & big -- and I say that as someone who was a fan of both of them when they were alive. GOAT.
He is the GOAT period
That’s why he’s the goat 🐐
One of my favs off the album is “Rich Spirit” glad he was able to give us this one of a kind iconic performance of it Thank You! Kendrick😌🙌🏽🐐💫✨💯
yo Jay Too Savy tag jay pop love is murder
My favorite line in this song “you entertaining yo friends when they toxic” something I learned to stop doing! I like how his performance symbolizes trying to be in the spotlight will cause you to lose yourself! Awesome performance!!
“You entertain ‘old friends’, when they toxic”
Im so happy and lucky to live in the same timeline as Kendrick Lamar.🫶🏿
Very very big difference you got one guy dropping music left and right talking about the same thing over and over and they call him the goat, a.k.a. Drake the pedo and on the other hand, you have a real MC an artist creator🤌
this is one of my favorite performances of all time, by any artist
honestly, kendrick is incredible. went to his concert and was blown away
This song [N95] is such a bump that I play this back to back when I work out 🔥 Y’all don’t understand the type of energy I get when I lift weights or go for a run with this 🤘🏾💯lmao I recommend it!
Big Facts!!!! The first verse is so crazy for the reps. the the second and 3rd verses just make you wanna go harder. great workout record. must have in the gym playlist. Big Steppers got the same feel too
FR! The energy and layers to this track is crazy.
The beat drop with the initial beat run is pure energyyy
He’s even dancing and embodying artistry. Never thought I’d see this. I got some WWE vibes from this
Listen to the Fan made Mashup with Cole and Drake
This is greatness
G O A T E D
He's so refined. The most seamless, intentional artistry. Wow.
facts!
the way Kendrick has evolved is amazing to see. the way he's developed into a showman is nuts. putting on a production and a show. incorporating choreography and performance, he's really honing into his own personal brand of artistry and creativity beyond just Hip-Hop's "savior messiah" figure.
Man said 'stop playing with me before i turn you into a song' Someone should've told Drake.
His energy when performing N95 is unmatched 🔥 also glad he performed a couple of my fave songs from the album
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest of all time, and we are witnessing it here!
He's not the GOAT. But he's great though. You guys throw this GOAT thing out too easily
@@1025MG nah he is
@@1025MG cry more old head

Never , he will never touch pac , lyric wise or performance wise or interview wise smh
its amazing how great a performance he can give with just himself, his shadow and an electric fan
One of the best live performers I’ve ever seen. Rarely misses a word, puts on a great show and has a crazy setlist even if he threw darts at songs on a random one
Kendrick is bringing the best SNL performances this year! Much love ❤❤

Fan of rap or not....surely you can appreciate this dude's talent
yeah 👍👍👍👍
100 percent man, not huge into rap like alot of old school rap but mostly a metal head but this man’s talent is untouchable
I’m mostly I fan of rock and metal, but I love Kendrick
Everything from the shadow work and then the use of light staying on tempo with the song, this is why I keep listening to you Kendrick. So well thought out produced works of art.
This man is a real artist
Kendrick has this rap s**t on lock. A whole different level.
Shit. Not just rap. He is the best artist this planet has seen in a generation. When I see Kendrick I feel blessed to live at the same time such an artist is alive.

Seeing this man on tour was one of the best things I’ve ever witnessed.
Defo quote 🫶🏻
Agreed I saw him on the DAMN tour 🤌🏾🤌🏾top tier
I loved kendrick before seeing him live. Now I'm getting emotional when some songs start. Brings me back to the live show, amazing performance, amazing venue, amazing everything. GOAT
One thing about Kendrick's performances...I went to the steppers tour, one song that really stood out to me from that show in particular was Money Trees--he did not rap the song, he sang it. And almost every song he performed, he gave the audience like a reinvented version of the song live.
Money trees might be a top kendrick song ,and ironically enough ,he got killed on the song by Jay Rock too lol "His pain" is a top 5 song too but technically not his
@@KingDavidTBE he actually wrote rock's part in money trees, one of the best verses on GKMC imo
@@TheMr31770 no way Welp That ruined it for me lol
Money Trees is my top 5 song by him. Such a classic 🔥🔥❤️
Well, and the band took Money Trees to amazing places. The guitar on the live tour version is incredible.
rich spirit is for those that understand that rapping comes with more than one style. Kendrick killed this, he continues to impress and I stand by that
ME. MORALE ALBUM IS SO FIRE! The whole thing. It’s therapeutic and it bangs in the car.
I play Rich Spirit at least 15 times a day. That song has so much substance to it. It’s a testament of his spirituality and growth. Kendrick has jumped up so many levels at a rapid rate, it’s just amazing.
I loooooove rich spirit. Definitely top 3 on the album
@@molsondutch93 that’s a fact!
The frat brother verse carries that song and kendrick didnt even do it
@@Aventsdor I like the second verse the best. Same with n95 so I was upset that verse wasn't performed

Kendrick is the hip hop Picasso, such an authentic artist very rare especially in hip hop he literally created his own lane
The example of the greatest rapper alive. He is also an entertainer and reaches to it in the most creative ways. Rich Spirit might be in his top 5.

Going to Kendrick's concert in Paris was one of the best things I did in my life. I cannot get over it still and almost a month has passed. His live performance is beyond mind-blowing, I feel privileged to witness this talent.
Who was in Paris????
@@QuiteLiterallyTom 🤣🤣🤣
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.
You are my hero. 72. That warms my heart to no end.

@@eddiehauser6661 prolly better and more influential. That's the bitter truth for some perhaps.
How he's running into the light and it tries to evade him, the messages on the wall. The things he says to stobe light. It's almost "de-hypnotizing"... Powerful and the best thing I've seen in while.
