Kendrick is HIM. the rapping was impeccable. breath control crazy. clarity crazy. crowd management crazy. the inflections. the adlibs. no backing track. not a sip of water as far as we know and the ability to put up so many new acts. pay homage to his OGs and celebrate his contemporaries. i teared up at the Black Hippy set ngl. Kendrick really was the only one except Snoop who can push the button. the Pop Out was the real red button

Yeah I agree, I don't think it was as much a Drake hate fest, more a celebration of the solidarity of the West Coast. If it was all about shitting on Drake, Metro and Future would've been there, Pusha T would've been there, Cole might've been there, Weekend would've performed etc. You had guys like Tommy the Clown, this was another nail in the coffin for Drake but that's more ancillary

Going by what I've heard from people from Toronto, both those I know and folks online: Toronto isn't getting behind Drake. That man's a menace and the people who actually live there have been waiting for someone to take him down a peg for *years.* Anyway, even as a painfully white nerd from the East Coast, I immediately grasped the significance of having those three groups onstage together and getting along like that. I was honestly stunned.

The moments of "The Pop Up" that got me the most dewy-eyed were 1) Tommy The Clown re-emerging on a major stage for the first time in a while with the unbelievably talented new lineup of "Battle Zone", 2) the unification of Black Hippy on stage and 3) the Nipsey Hussle tribute. 🥲 Meanwhile, Drizzy appears to be in the early stages of plotting his country music side quest: hoping to replicate Post Malone's breakout success there. I can already see him sneak-dissing three dozen current country stars and legends in his first three songs and thus uniting the whole country music community against him much like the West Coast here, hahahahaha! XD

Like I lived in central Florida and my next door neighbor was the biggest red neck. But mad cool like he would take me fishing. But then like my other next door neighbor but Jamaican and the other was newyorican and another was just from Minnesota.

3:32 Hyup, you're pretty much spot on. DJ Hed interviewed with XXL the morning after the show (it's on their YT channel) where he said what you're essentially saying. It was beyond the beef. And another YT CC thinks this concert was what Dot's real goal was after hearing his mention of Nipsey and Kobe. And man how he united the West Coast at that moment. It was moving and spectacularly spiritual, imo. The concert also laid to rest the "he was buying bots to spike up 'Not Like Us' numbers." (Drake stans are really grasping at straws; it's funny but sad at the same time lol) I saw and felt only love for K-Dot from that crowd. The significance of Juneteenth 2024 in that relatively tiny corner of the country is really one for the history books.
