I watched this LIVE on Amazon Prime from Cape Town, South Africa. 1am - 5am since we are 9 hours ahead. The fun was in the chats on different streams from people all over the world on different time zones commenting, reacting and spectaculating in real time. Being a fan from Section 80 all I can say is that I'm proud of Kendrick

[@maziormarcus9895]

That’s dope!!!

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

For sure, one of the great moments in HipHop history! 😁

[@dudettevlogs4257]

The Pop Out concert was great!! Kendrick can’t satisfy everyone.. no matter what- the critics will never end!!

[@h10yysrayl]

@@dudettevlogs4257 On a positive note, when having an open mind we will understand that the critic's are needed and we can also learn something from them as well, that's if one knows how to think outside the box. In the same way, self criticism is good for us from time to time for self development. We have to disagree just to come to an agreement, don't you agree?😏😏😏😏😏

[@joeskys2362]

@@h10yysrayl Criticism is only valuable if its constructive. Constructive criticism's purpose is to help make better art. If that Criticism is only based on preference. Then its no longer valuable and, is no better then trash.🤔

[@Zaburino]

I'm so glad you focused on the whole show, I feel like Kendrick designed this show as much about showcasing them as it was the beef/unity. So many reactions left it out, and so many discussions glossed over the part that actually inspired me the most. We've lost so many of "The Guys" that were in the generation between our current King and the kids in the show that were blowing up large enough to unify a city or region, but to see this? Incredible.

[@maziormarcus9895]

Thank you. I greatly appreciate it. As soon as Kendrick’s showcase aired, we got on the phone and we knew we had a job to do and discuss this moment. It’s bigger than Hip-Hop. 🙏🏾🌐

[@KekeSimo9]

Nip tribute was beautiful. People need to remember this is kdot show period! He could made the show all about him but he didn't, he shared with everyone. I can bet my bottom dollar Nipsey was proud of him. Ab-soul has health problems he is also going blind so maybe he didn't want to any of music. I love ab-soul music.

[@mzfbados1294]

Sis, you betta speak on it. Too many folks got something to say.

[@KekeSimo9]

@@mzfbados1294 it's just so crazy to me how some people are acting. This wasn't about nobody but Kendrick at the end of the day! It's his victory lap but he blessed other people and blessed the whole city hell the whole state. He give them talent people a stage to show case their talent and they did beautifully. This may not be the last opportunity he has for people so people need to watch what they say. Be humble and grateful. He put the west back on I'm from Wisconsin but I live in Memphis and I'm telling I like a lot of those new artists that was on that stage . I went to the corner store here in North Memphis and ppl was talking about the show.

[@riss3690]

I think he had Ab Soul come out on 6:16 cause that is his favorite song in the beef. Ab Soul has been through so much including trying to take his own life so it was nice to see Kendrick guide him around the stage. It was really nice to see and experience the love that Black Hippy has for each other. People were really trying to make it seem like they don't fuck with each other cause at the music video Kendrick was surprised about how tall School boy's daughter got but my son's godmother does the same thing every time she sees him even though it's only been a week. People can't help but to hate. It's weird.

[@BrittneysBlessed]

I really love the formatting of this pod. It’s refreshing to see hip hop commentary from an objective, educated, and mature perspective. There’s one thing that I want to address : Ab soul has a disease that impairs his vision so he is blind. This could affect him being able to perform.

Ab Soul has a condition that affects his vision making it difficult for him to move around. If you watch close the Black Hippy where helping him across the stage.

I could tell just from paying attention during the show. I thought it was obvious when he mentioned something about being blind as he was being helped across the stage.

[@_NoHandle_]

As for Drake taking a break - his high dollar contract may not allow for him to take an extended break. People clown Kendrick because he takes breaks, but the fact is he _CAN_ take a break. I don't think Drake has that same luxury. Also, Drake fans were celebrating Drake following Mustard's ex-wife on IG. They are saying that Drake has "started working on getting his revenge." If his fans are cheering on BS like that, it's unlikely he'll make any changes.
