[@AllTheArtsy]

the aubreys angels who are now so salty and in their feelings crying "Kendrick was always gonna win because the people hate Drake" or "Drake couldnt have won because everyones jealous of him and want to see him lose" were not saying those words when Push Ups and Taylor Made came out. back then they were shouting "drop, drop, drop, drop" and saying Kendrick is afraid and cant write songs quickly. now theyre doing everything they can to deny that Kendrick won its hilarious

[@yugfus]

He made sure Drake's delivery fee was HEFTY!!​@Oli3TB76

[@Shaun.is.typing]

Dj Hed’s whole set was SOLID

[@RobMarkman]

Facts!!!

[@early252]

Kendrick had them moaning “auwwwwgh” and ts still sounded tough

[@RobMarkman]

Hahaha

[@hemeheru6219]

Not Like Us is a anthem for everything you want it to be for...Sometimes for me it's my Hiphop ain't just rap anthem, Black Americans ain't like everyone else anthem, my favorite team The Steelers ain't like every other team anthem etc etc..Its bigger then Drake to me...Its Queen's We Will Rock You or Champions songs..Its Archie Eversole's We Ready..Its Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger...To me it will forever fit in my head as a anthem...IT SHOULD WIN SONG OF THE YEAR...

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah. I think if the year ended right now, the song is the clear choice for Grammy awards

[@mirandatwumasi]

It was probably the best concert show ive watched. I still keep rewatching it. The whole world got to see a cultural moment. This will go down in history✊🏿🤘🏿

[@RobMarkman]

Agreed. Historical moment

[@TPBCollector]

The concepts of they and us really highlights those who are not for the culture vs. us, who partake and cherish it. It's a joyful song because this is a victory stance for "us". "Notice I said we, I'm what the culture feelin'." So you don't have to be a Drake or Kendrick fan to enjoy this song. If you side, partake, cherish and value this culture in a respectful manner, this song is for you and they not like us.

[@Jimmyjones151]

Amazing show. Loved it. Favourite part was Kendrick rapping 6:16 in LA to Soul ❤

[@RobMarkman]

Beautiful part.

[@shaamlowery2632]

Agreed I keep replaying on KZbin that shit hit my heart man beautiful moment you can tell they’re brothers

[@salomaonplanetsaturn]

My favourite part was euphoria performance. Incredibly hard track to perform, but Kendrick delivered as a master MC he is. I felt energy and emotion even at home in front of TV. Madness 🕺 Great overview of whole event! Thank you, chief 🥳

[@AnferneeMyers]

As expected, you come in with an amazing, comprehensive, well-rounded perspective. You’re one of the ONLY pundit’s including DJ Hed’s *phenomenal* set. You’re doing a great job acknowledging the cultural aspects of the event in this video, not just the headliners and hitmakers. W video. Salute to you!

[@RobMarkman]

Much love!!

[@hmack8937]

I don’t care what no one say - 6:16 N LA was the highlight for me. Thats that cypher on the block work where a nigga put his hand on ya shoulder and just talk that talk. Plus look at his energy on that verse vs the others. No fumbles, no low energy …super clear…Dot was feeling himself on that jawn. Thats the energy I like.

[@BeenLogic]

Rob when it comes to the culture 🐐🐐

[@RobMarkman]

Love!!!!

[@photoprojectsf]

The Pop Out was on par with what I thought it would be. Loved the chat with the homies...organic and not over the top....good dynamic for sure.

[@mellothaman5113]

Tyler was prolly my favorite cause how caught off guard I was , I was hype 😂 Also you called it lol that was the first thing came to mind when 40 introduced Kendrick

[@RobMarkman]

🫡

[@ravensall22]

Not Like Us is a Drake diss but it has now turned into something into different. That choice of a mustard beat, his flow being so west coast on that song made it a West anthem, plus that third verse made it a Black anthem. He made it so much larger than a Drake diss with the show and all the small little things. So 🔥

[@RobMarkman]

Very true

[@Nominal405]

I said that when i first heard it. Ultimately even though it's at Drake's expense the message behind it is unifying

[@Kickinthescience]

This the biggest victory for the west since Hit em Up

[@OriginalBoondocksXVIII]

Appreciate you getting back home and doing a solo joint. Much love to those other brothers (especially Wayno, I liked him on Everyday Struggle and his own show with Eddin), but the audio quality when you're at home is so much better.

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah I’m no audio genius, but u do have a process that just works for me

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Dope top 5. I'm glad you gave Dj Hed's set the number 2 spot. Kendrick showed alot of selflessness by giving shine to all those, at this point, regional-only artists on such a large platform. the lights and attention were too big for some of the acts, who didn't have great performances, but I think something like that will bare fruit for those artists down the line. I'm from an era, where different regions had specific sounds, so despite being up in the nosebleeds, seeing local faves like Rj ("Get Rich"); Problem ("Like Whaaat") and Dom ("When I Come Around") doing records that are huge in LA, but didn't blow up nationally, was special. Everybody in our section of The Forum rapped along to all the verses, sang the hooks, and danced. Overall, just a great event. Kendrick really put on for the city. Can't wait to see the "Not Like Us" video, along with hearing a new Kendrick album, whenever he decides to drop.

[@shoulderlabrum520]

I was there, it was my 17th k dot concert … I NEVER would have imagined that he would perform euphoria.. maybe the intro… but he rapped the WHOLE SONG.. and the arena went bar for bar with him.. I can’t describe the feeling, if you weren’t there it’s hard to really feel it.. it came through on the stream but the energy was nuts… and the fact that he might not ever perform the song in its entirety… it MIGHT have been my fav performance I have ever seen

[@RobMarkman]

That’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dopocc]

So many highlights. It was an all in all beautiful holiday/celebration. I was elated that he hit the stage with Euphoria, though.

[@RobMarkman]

For real

[@Dynamics416]

Well said, Rob. Great wrap-up.

[@RobMarkman]

My man!!

[@bowhousedesign]

This is why I believe Kendrick did not use bots. Kendrick is a hip-hop purest. Part of the battle is not about Drake dissing him but it is about Drake tainting the rap game in his eyes (my eyes too). Kendrick wanted to bury Drake and show him who and what hip-hop really is. Using bots would defeat the purpose? Would it not? Plus, I believe 6:16 in LA is one of the slept on hottest tracks. Why not use bots for that? People have to get their hands out of the speculation jar and dip them in the logic bag. I advise everyone to read a book called Freakanomics, it will show you how to think differently. I am not a sponsor, lol, I am a mental philanthropist, 😂.

[@lewisg.5240]

love this breakdown

[@RobMarkman]

Glad you locked in

[@hmack8937]

Yea broski we need both. Podcast vibes from the last joint was tough 🔥 Yall keep shit a 💯 and eventhough Trav was tripping it didn’t feel like he was frauding. He truly believes some of those wild ass takes🤦🏾‍♂️.

[@RobMarkman]

Nah he really believes those takes. Facts lol

[@TreesRdope]

The fact Dj Hed got to curate his whole lineup is insanely talented too. Sn: kennys wife was there too. Along with north west lolol

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah the whole speculation about his wife not being there when she was actually there was weird. But it’s been a lot of weird things this whole battle

[@neotheboxer]

Kendrick is a smooth mover. He actually does have natural dancing skill from what I see. I am not a dancer but for me it is easy to see that he has natural rhythm and he is smooth and quite frankly sexy when he moves.

[@earlskinner615]

I think you should do both solo and curated conversations on your KZbin.

I just might

The best verse Kendrick had when Black Hippy got together was on the That part Remix

[@quintonmiller8266]

Naw

[@WoTisIT-tHeBRAIDS]

Drake planted the seed for the Westcoast unity angle when he started playing with legends with the A.I. and speaking on LA street culture. Great play from Kendrick to pick that up, run with it and turn negative energy into positive.

[@BrookEngland-do3uh]

I don’t think Dot will ever peace it up with Drake. I can def see Euphoria staying in Dot’s set lineup.

[@AndrewLawton16]

16:05 I still think you're underselling it. Kendrick could have gotten on stage and made the show about himself and people would have LOVED him for it. If he said "Fuck Drake, I'm the King of Rap, this is the Kendrick Era" people would be using the phrase Kendrick Era for years. But as you said, that's not what happened. Kendrick said "this is the younger generation, these are my friends, this is my music, this is my city, I love you goodnight" He just comes across as such a real, genuine dude. You can see all the effort that went in to doing things right.

[@AbouTto_]

I was the only one that called Smac being there. He was right on stage.

[@AcidBreakz]

He commemorated Pac and made him proud.

[@topfloorslimey]

Just take the summer off Drake and have no cell phone you will be iight😂

[@artheals8869]

Kendrick always fumbles words when he performs tbh, never really bothered me because his performance quality is so high.

[@RobMarkman]

I’ve seen him perform at least 10 times at this point. I never noticed him fumbling words. But yeah. Doesn’t even matter

[@artheals8869]

@@RobMarkman yeah I saw him at Day N Vegas and Mr Morale tour and the Championship tour and he’ll occasionally say a line too early in the verse and repeat the line or do it in reverse order, not exactly “fumbling” per say, but yeah just something I noticed. I loved how he changed up lyrics with new potent jabs at Drake though, it was great. One of the best Hip Hop performers hands down.

[@darrinleeedwards9]

He did it all without any hypeman. Just him by himself and all bars. Muscle memory he may forgot timing of lines. But that was fire

[@AllTheArtsy]

who actually cares that Kendrick doesnt know all the words to these 2-month old records? the crowd knows them word for word. he catches himself and hes able to segue into whatever verse he needs to be on anyway. the energy is perfect. if Kendrick's only mistake for his whole set is the fumble on euphoria's 2nd verse and NLU's 3rd verse, that the crowd followed him through anyway, that's almost nothing 😅

[@RobMarkman]

Agreed

[@quintonmiller8266]

I don't think he fumbled. I think it was edited and it was originally 29 mins long. Who knows though. ​@@RobMarkman

[@quintonmiller8266]

Why not he is a West Coast artist just not a gangsta one. He embodies the west coast regular dude who has some nerd to him. That's why he was on the stage.

[@RobMarkman]

@@quintonmiller8266 no one is saying he didn’t deserve to be there. It’s just that most people don’t recognize Tyler as a typical LA artist - he isn’t typical at all, but he’s not seen as an artist who has a lot in common with the typical LA artists. It’s a perception thing. This concert helped break that

[@hipjada]

Was this Drake’s biggest mistake?

[@RobMarkman]

In his career? Possibly. He underestimated Kendrick. He was also battling a bunch of other dudes at the same time, but honestly Weeknd, Future, Rocky, Ross… none of em were really threats like Kendrick was.

[@KimmieDro]

I don’t think Dot just straight up fumbled. I believe it was the result of intentionally trying to omit/change certain lines/words. I believe throughout his performance he was very intentional with his words
