These motherfuckers make it so hard to find Kendrick Lamar’s 2016 performances.... at least his SNL one isn’t hard to find but still this shit right here??? Elevated Kendrick Lamar to another stratosphere as an artist. That’s why I appreciate TPAB so much. He took his performances, videos, and artistry to a new level.

[@jasonezzell6901]

Kendrick and Thundercat. What a performance. I still think Kendrick is the King Crimson of hip hop.

[@panocasabe8227]

The album is produced in such a way that you can´t really feel the band as a whole so when you watch the live performance is a completely different experience, both awesome but you actually look forward for live performances. If Kendrick keeps this up he will be the greatest rapper of all times.

[@musicchairreviews2498]

that's cause untitled unmastered is that unmastered no mixing no after production it's as raw as it gets.

[@listerineclean343]

Looks like he's the greatest rapper of all time

[@tmrinker182]

6 years later..... Today, TPAB has a substantive, fact based argument as one of, if not THE greatest album of all time. It's surpassed my personal favorites in the past year or so. (Blueprint 1 was previously the "newest addition", so it's not an easy top 5 to crack). This album belongs next to those we historically cherish, whether its "Songs in the Key of Life" or Led Zeppelin's debut album. Or Abbey Road. And that's all while still digesting the complexities, and most honest/personal body of work that he's released, in Mr. Morale. I don't think most appreciate how fortunate we are to witness this era. He's on a short list for G.O.A.T. already, and might even have an argument at this point, after the Pulitzer. The jury is probably still out, there. Play TPAB and Mr. Morale back to back. It really feels like a great follow up when put next to one another. But damn this video makes me miss the TPAB era of Kendrick. Especially in his live show.

[@JesusChristSaves.]

One of them is Thundercat. A known artist who works with kendrick heavily. He's got a lot of "wah" to his bass so it's needed in certain songs that only Thundercat can really pull off cause he's got his own crazy bass licks

It's just the way it is, I'm obviously not an expert on this but it's an attempt to improve their ratings and garner a wider audience. Some people may not approve of the language used in Kendrick's songs, but it's mostly to keep it "child friendly" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean these days. Children are easy to captivate, you can get them to watch anything. Kinda fucked up but it's the truth.

[@sanchoquixote5518]

Lamar's work sounds to me like the beginning of a whole new category of hip-hop that doesn't have a name yet. I wouldn't be surprised to hear him called a "founder" of something 10 years from now. Whether you like him or not, you've got to admit that he's very musically ambitious. He knows his roots, but he's cutting a new path. Respect. His free form timing has deep roots in jazz, and there's a little bit of experimental avant-garde art music spliced in. Those two are part of what's now considered "high culture," whereas rap is thought to be low. He's showing that they can be mixed and come out as art that is both popular and sophisticated. No small feat there. The foundation that Nicki Minaj is tearing down on one side, Kendrick Lamar is building upon on another.

[@kokujin]

Dope man. As always the most thought out and sophisticated opinion is rarely noticed (your comment ) - but hey kendrick is getting love even if people see the beauty barely past the surface

Let's see: Anderson Paak, Childish Gambino's new album, and... what else? David Bowie's Blackstar has a slight TPAB influene tho.. There's nothing else really that sounds like TPAB, but I think that will change in the future let that album live and breathe for a while. Btw, Chance doesn't count for me he's been making this kind of sound (or a similar sound) since Acid Rap which came out 2013

Pretty rare to see someone perform something quite different to the original with such confidence and ability. Kudos to Kendrick, I had my doubts but I can see the light.

I fuck with da braids tho

[@marktonight902]

+Serginator SER drae fans are always butt hurt. not sure why your head hurts.

[@kiddikongrotmg]

+Aaron Gonzalez lookin like a wizard and shit

[@BenjerminGaye]

+Xavier Jarnaki I'm guessing you don't know what braids feel like

[@marktonight902]

BenjerminGaye nope

[@BenjerminGaye]

Xavier Jarnaki clearly. Given how tight his braids are while they are clean its is actually painful, when first done/tightened. Hence "his braids make my head hurt." I'm guessing u tried to make a jab with the Drake= butthurt but since you failed to understand why he made his post it falls flat.

The greatest musical phenomenon since Michael Jackson. Plain and simple.

[@hollycline2427]

Jason Reid I agree 100 percent

[@petethepirate730]

His band at this time was the shit. To me DAMN doesnt compare to this era of Kendrick.

[@over9kilo795]

Pete the Pirate definitely not. TPAB is his greatest project to date. But DAMN tells another great story about staying true to yourself throughout all the fam and fortune. This man is on another level of greatness

[@petethepirate730]

@@over9kilo795 I like them both but to me the TPAB and the untitled album are just more my style.

[@over9kilo795]

Pete the Pirate yeah TPAB is my all time favorite. Then GKMC and Untitled
