Dude put that magnifying glass on Aubrey, but Kendrick examined himself first.. made me think and reevaluate my perspective and about myself.. entertainment lasts for a moment and that's ok.

“Stop playing with me before I turn you into a song” just hit different now.

[@uravidlistener]

This man is not just a rapper, he's the greatest artiste / performer of our generation.

[@WILLINGLYWILD]

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

[@uravidlistener]

@@WILLINGLYWILD that's fair, he's the only rapper I'd probably give the edge as well

[@MochaHontas420]

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😮‍💨

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.

@@gray4675 If anyone hasn't seen his performance of These Walls on Ellen, thats great too

[@SupaTang]

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.

[@TimelineBeats]

If you ever get the opportunity, you gotta see him perform live

[@isrealtimesnear5331]

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✊🏾✊🏿

[@lookintok]

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!!

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.

[@maxmel1328]

🤯🤯 he take this shit serious .. 🐐🐐🐐

[@Kay_lahM]

His energy when performing N95 is unmatched 🔥 also glad he performed a couple of my fave songs from the album

This man is a real artist

[@joncumber2020]

Saw his concert this past summer. Used that shadow ‘trick’ so effectively. Brilliant.

[@itsjustjazzr]

this man is the only artist that can make a performance so simple but also full of meaning !!! I’m so happy I got to experience his art in my lifetime
