For Juneteenth, Kendrick Lamar had a concert in the KIA Forum, bringing out West Coast rappers, and it was streamed live on Amazon Prime Video. There were 16,000 fans in the forum. With a rap beef with Drake and Kendrick Lamar, this is the first concert Kendrick performed live. The singles “Euphoria” and “Not like Us” were recently dropped last month.
During this epic three-hour-long performance, time seemed to fly as Kendrick Lamar brought out a constellation of West Coast legends. The stage was graced by the likes of Tyler, the Creator, Steve Lacey, Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Mustard, YG, Roddy Ricch, Dom Kennedy, and the iconic Dr. Dre. The latter played crowd favorites like ‘California Love’ and ‘Not Like Us’ with Kendrick. The excitement was palpable as many NBA stars, including Lebron James and Russell Westbrook, were spotted in the electrifying crowds.

Kendrick Lamar, in a move that left fans buzzing, performed his new single ‘Not Like Us’ not just once, but a staggering five times. He also treated the audience to a medley of his previous hits, including ‘King’s Dead,’ ‘Collard Greens,’ ‘Swimming Pools,’ ‘Humble,’ and ‘Alright.’ The concert culminated in a group photo with Ken & Friends, a moment that Kendrick urged, ‘Show the world this.’
“The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” is no longer available to rewatch on Amazon. You can find clips of the performance online.
