Kendrick Delivers Electrifying Performance at Pop Out Concert
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video shoot comes days after he delivered an electrifying performance at The Pop Out – Ken & Friends Concert at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Juneteenth (June 19).
One of the many highlights from the event was Kenny performing “Not Like Us” for the first time live in front of a sold-out crowd. Not only that, K-Dot performed the Drake diss track five times.
Additionally, fans witnessed a Black Hippy reunion with K-Dot, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. Also, mid-way through his rendition of “Euphoria,” Kenny added some lyrics and expanded on a bar to diss Drake again.
“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man?/’Cause I ain’t see him yet/Give me Tupac ring back and I might give you a lil’ respect,” Kendrick rapped.
The original lyric was: “I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man?/’Cause I ain’t see him yet/Matter of fact I ain’t even bleed him yet, can I bleed him?”
