Ken & Friends Pop Out Show Recap

[@highcee11]

"Not Like Us" is going to an even larger LIFE, primary in the South, in the fall of '24, when EVERY HBCU in the country is performing during Football/Band season. Wow.

[@samc5018]

Kendrick is top 5. This year has cemented it if it wasn’t already obvious imo. He’s proven it for 12 years. All this it’s too early talk can’t go on forever. Just look at his body of work, what he’s achieved, what he did this year. Can’t deny him anymore.

They kept it strictly LA outside of E40 narrating the show. Loved that shit

[@LJChibueze]

I mean when they said it was Myke’s last show officially for DEHH a few months ago, they wasn’t lying 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@1JayTheJet]

It was a special moment in hip hop hands down. The one thing I liked the most was all them LA hoods on one stage showing love to each other. We haven't seen sh*t like that on the west since We All In The Same Gang. Salute 👑Kendrick

[@achronos178]

Its not my favorite diss track but "Not like us" cultural impact is unlike any other diss track. It's #1 on impact alone.

[@gabrielsoto3259]

I was there at the concert and I have never felt energy like that before. Some of the best money I ever spent

ScHoolboy is not the face of TDE at this point and I doubt he has any desire to be that. SZA is definitely their biggest artist and they don’t really have a face on the hip-hop side at the moment but it’s clear that the OGs (remaining Black Hippy members) aren’t gunning to be mainstream acts anymore. It’s up to the newer crop to prove themselves worthy of carrying that

[@Artislife1992]

I wanted to hear them perform ‘Black Lip Bastard (remix)’! 🔥🔥🔥

[@catastrophic3]

Same bro! Especially since Kendrick said “Black Hippy” when they were all together on stage

[@thedietbender1594]

Tommy the Clown started the 'Clowning' dance. Tight Eyez created Krumping which was influenced by clowning

[@AllTheArtsy]

OVO Mal complaining Tommy got a longer set than Tyler not knowing Tommy is out there saving these kids and reforming gangsters 👀

49:35 Beezy Is Correct, aubrey bbl drake asked for smoke and he got more than he expected😂 to the point where he has brain damage💀

[@blackpanthro]

[@bpm81]

y'all gotta tap into the West a little bit more, some of these opening artists are hot out there. Remble was pretty viral before Drakeo passed. Bluebucks, Kalan etc... come on guys

The show wasn’t just for the West Coast, but specifically LA, which is why it was all LA artists who performed. Larry June is from SF and Baby Keem is from Las Vegas.

He came with the energy. His was super lit, plus he performed a classic song of his that everyone knows & you could hear the crowd singing his song.

I been listening these dudes for a long time I'm not sure exactly where they're from.. but them not knowing half of the bubbling LA artist is crazy.

The West Coast has been creating the best high level album quality music for a while now. The mainstream narrative that ATL has been running the game is bs to me. After Future what other artist is a high level album quality MC or rapper? Not naming Cyhi? Nip gained more ‘popularity’ in his passing not respect. He was already well respected when he was living. 💯💯💯

Ice Cube doesn’t have a big relationship with Kendrick. Almost like a Game thing. Ice Cube low key hates on Kendrick.

[@gc033]

Really?? I’ve never heard ice cube disrespect Kendrick…only praise

[@keiasha30]

He initially said he didn't really care for the beef but, later on changed his tune after how he viewed his concert. He said KDot got it & for Dot to stay ready because he doesn't believe it's over with just yet. He believes Drake is still going to try & come with something.

[@joelouis5118]

Why?

[@avashirley2912]

@@joelouis5118 I’m not sure but I noticed it when Kdot did their induction into the Hall of Fame. And Kendrick asked them what other artists they like and Ice Cube said Drake, but then all his interviews where they asked him specifically about Kendrick, he would purposely add Drake. Maybe like 5 interviews and then the beef happened and he started again then lightened up in his tone. Kendrick gravitates to Geminis in the music industry but it’s a reason he doesn’t to Ice Cube. I think he said every time they ask Kdot about top 5, he doesn’t mention Cube so I think he’s a little resentful. But Ice Cube’s son supports Kdot openly. Not sure what going on in the West but we are a mess sometimes.

Majority people who hate on The Game are Em or 50 stans. He said he was cool with Drake, Kendrick and Ross. That day was about Kendrick. Yall don’t know if he was invited or not. Drake never dissed Kendrick. He said ‘I would take all ya fans if I stayed on some conscious ish’. Drake says anything and lies. He NEVER was a conscious MC/Rapper and Kendrick isn’t a ‘conscious rapper’ anyways. Ross inserted himself into the beef because Drake unfollowed him and Drake sent French a Cease and Desist. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@yugfus]

I like The Game, but he's certainly moving shady. That Drake bar was certainly a sub for Kendrick. It's Drake saying he believes that if he made conscious albums, he'd take Kendrick's fans. Drake isn't lying in that situation. He's just delusional and believes he'd make a good conscious album. Also, Kendrick is a conscious rapper and also considers himself one too. He literally says, "How y'all let a conscious nxgga go commercial while only making commercial albums?"

[@HimieFreeman]

One of Kendrick’s people definitely confirmed that they weren’t rocking with Game and he wasn’t invited. There’s clearly tension publicly at least since the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Game also aligned himself with Drake in this beef and dissed Ross. It’s obvious there’s something to that situation and Game pretty much confirmed he wasn’t invited.

[@Artislife1992]

@@yugfus explain to me how it was a jab if it was a lie. Just cuz that lame say it that don’t mean it holds weight. Drake has NEVER BEEN CONCSIOUS. Who tf in Chewish Toronto would Drake learn about Black concsiousness. Majority ppl are sheep so I understand. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
