Only Kendrick could be woke enough to throw a Juneteenth concert in an effort to spread peace and unity in LA while also being petty enough to play his diss track 5 times in a row. Love it.

Fr genius shit…grammy worthy one could say

“Kendrick just opened his mouth…”

“and ima go put my dick in it right now”

“Then i put it in his ass”

"Now he runnin butt naked all over my house"

"I'm bout to make him gay tonight"

"Come ride my D, I'm whipping it out"

I got to the circle too late god damn it


Woke? nah this is a legend living legendarily.

What do you think woke means?

Gotta be real, woke and legend ain’t the same thing. Someone can be woke AND a legend, but the two aren’t cause and effect, don’t link correlation and causation or you’ll have every dumb college “woke” girl thinking she a legend cause she has one black friend 😂

My overall point was gonna be (if they responded) that these things aren't mutually exclusive and in fact it is harder to be woke and legendary.

Shittt boy. You a legend. You were already thinking what I was saying, my bad for stepping on your moment

You good brudda

He’s still an old school Gemini

Is he a June Gemini? I’m pretty sure “old school” Gemini is just us June Gemini’s Edit: oh this mfer born in June 17 he is a GEEEEEMMMMINI—im on the 18th so I know we r some crazy mfers

Grown man talking seriously about astrology

Correction… he played it 6 times…. for the 6 God

He a fan

6 times if you include to instrumental outro

I think it’s also cause they’re shooting  a music video for it. Regardless it was cool as fuck. I went to use the bathroom after the fourth time and they started playing it again 😂

Gemini.

Goated Gemini

6 times!

Maybe he’ll get another Pulitzer for it.

6 times

GEMINI TO THE CORE

Duality

6 times for the 6

He didn't have to be "Woke" to have a concert on Juneteenth its like celabrating Black History Month. Juneteenth Is Black Independence Day. Kendrick having a concert on this day was Gods plan.

I liked it, was pretty cool getting all these people from LA to one event.

Black Hippy reunion was sick Tyler and Ray Vaughn absolutely killed it on openers

we need more black hippy remixes, like THat Part BH remix was 🔥

UOENO still in my playlist.

Tylers energy was incredible.

Every show he does gets to that insane level

he's always like that it's nuts. i wanna know his caffeine regiment.

You know if Q and Ab Soul have beef ? I was watching and it looked like Q was straight avoiding Soul on the stage Even when they were getting off stage, you can see Q dap up Dot then Soul comes to dap up Q but Q walks past him

Ab can barely see, I think they were just trying to keep him safe.

Wait you mean like he has poor vision or if he's half blind or smt?

He's legally blind from an illness he had as a child. Not allowed to drive. Its why he always wears sunglasses.

Bro I never knew this. I just always thought he was high

He even said it at the show "these motha fuckas here don't know I'm blind" as Kenny walked him safely to the other side. "we ain't got no more fireworks right?"

Nas ain’t seen nothin this nasty

Nah Fr

Bro I did not catch that. Dang man

He literally raps about this on Book of Love ("Severe pink eye, my eyes swollen shut/for like two or three months, it's still bright as fuck")

They had a track together on Q’s latest project.

I don't think so. They made a song on Q's Blue Lips album

TY WAS ON 🔥

Immaculate vibe

fire, i just wanted The Hillbillies & family ties really good show, the Unity theme was 🔥🔥

Didn't they say Keem would show up? Am I trippin

I never heard that. I think it was just assumed

Photo of him at the show, but he’s from Nevada. (Vegas I believe) Every foot on that stage tonight was Californian I believe

If they would have somehow got frank ocean on that stage I would have exploded

Anyone have any idea why he wasn't there? I would've assumed it as well, given some of Kendrick's bigger tracks that are more recent (before the beef obviously) have been collabs with him

He was there but wasn’t really raised in cali so wouldn’t make sense

He’s from Las Vegas

He’s not from LA would be my guess

This concert was an LA specific thing.

You’re the first person I’ve heard mention The Hillbillies. I figured it was just a forgotten single, glad it’s still in people’s minds

Yeah big protein

150 grams of protein 🙅‍♂️

I don’t buy much, I buy land bro

really good song, it was the perfect time for a collab album lol

My boy Soulo didn’t get a verse as punishment for doing Pi with J Cole lol Amazing show blew my expectations away

I thought he was about to have a verse on 6:16 smh

I also was hoping for that. And also a not like us remix. But alas..

Would’ve been glorious

Nah his vision must be much worse than before, since Jay Rock and K-Dot had to lead him around on stage ): broke my heart to see

Heard he also has a bad leg rn

Might be from his suicide attempt a while ago

Jesus

Really? that really sucks

Lol yo You too funny for this one 🤣🤣

Are you talking about ab soul? Cuz he got respect from dot when he came out on stage lol

Yeah, and I was just messing. I loved when they were taking the group pic and Kendrick specifically called all of black hippy to the front

absolutely perfect kendrick took that victory lap

The crowd could have picked up the "They Not Like Us" chant during the first Not Like Us break. Would have been cool if Dre did The Recipe.

the crowd was lame 90% of the show

fr everyone seemed too into their phones and not in the moment

That’s 99% of shows now. Hate that about going to shows anymore because almost everyone is on their phone recording the entire thing.

Artists should absolutely be recording audio and visual for every show. If not let some dedicated fans do it. I love to re-listen to my favorite shows, and knowing it will be recorded would allow many people to live in the moment again. Just my 2¢ tho

People aren’t recording so they can keep a recording. They’re recording so they can show that they were there on social media

^jackpot. Maybe if you go to some underground show with an up and coming artist you'll get a dedicated crowd, but a high publicity one off show like this and all bets are off people are gonna prefer to flex then actually interact with the show

Wrong for me. I don’t post my recordings anywhere. They all just live on my phone for me to go back and look at

Every single time I’ve ever recorded something at a show is so I can replay/reminisce about the moment later

Yeah it would be cool if artists did it themselves or if a few fans did it. It’s just annoying when everyone around you is doing it.

Which is insane to me. I’ve filmed portions on concerts before and have literally never rewatched any of those videos. The concerts that I go to where I don’t even touch my phone are the best one. Those people just have 6 minutes of storage taken up on their phone now.

Ok it wasn’t just me? The crowd was weak AF, no energy until Kendrick came out, Tyler got a lot of love but the cheers would die out super fast it was weird…

A part of me was seething at the crowd. Quiet for sooo many iconic songs but they were loud af for Not Like Us. Im praying for every scalper to wake up with 3 flat tires for the rest of their life for making the tickets unaffordable

Pretty sure I heard a bunch of people chanting OVHoe...?

Beautiful, J Cole and Kendrick are one of the only few rappers who can be amongst the fans and people without a flock of security.

Man has pirus and crips getting along, he don't need no more security

Good thing they didn’t gun him down at the end of the song.

dr.dre still got it

I'm sad no clips of him performing hit the main hip hop subreddit.

FIRE

Iconic. Witnessed history

Had a whole concert going on in my room 🔥

Dude I had a projector up and my sub high. The visuals were crazy for this 💖💖💖 Such an amazing event and hearing how loud the crowd were at some parts, ugh. So gorgeous

Same haha

Same here I had my face glued to my tablet cooking and dancing at the same time

It was fire but I was waiting on keem and Snoop the entire time 😭

Atleast we got Dr. Dre and on stage he said Kendrick was one of the bes to ever do it. Legendary moment

That was legendary even tho Mal tried to hoe them with that tweet 💀😭

Snoop is literally on tour lol. He’s in Canada playing my city right now

Learn something new everyday I suppose it just felt like he should have been there

Yeah fair he would def fit in. I just knew where he was tonight so I knew he wouldn’t show

Keen isn’t from cali so I’m guessing that’s why but snoop should’ve definitely been there

Yeah I figured that after a while bit family ties would have went crazy

[удалено]

Me too. Probably because I'm white.

Same here, probably because I'm Indian.

me too. Probably cause im Nepali

Me too, I'm just insecure

that last run of NLU multiples times in a row and calling everybody onstage to call his opp a pedo is a movie scene lmao

I’m a cole stan and I can’t help but think the dreamville fest inspired a hometown event like this. Kdot took it to another level though. It was dope concert

The same could be said about dreamville copying The Roots Picnic since that started in 2008. I don’t feel like Kendrick copied Cole at all…..I feel like this was WAAAAY different vibe then a festival, this was almost like a new LA tribute….honestly I felt like this was similar to the Mac Miller tribute concert except instead of everyone crying everyone was ~~crip~~ b-walking (cuz it was hella red in there)

I don’t think the person meant he was copying cole

I don’t think Dreamville invented this lol. Camp Flog Gnaw existed first for example

oh you’re right. yeah i’m biased as hell 😂

Had to lower the brightness bc the red and blue flashing almost gave me a seizure but overall dub

History

I have none why do y’all keep bringing up Kendrick Lamar on this sub 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Because he’s our daddy now.

But he's not your savior

J Cole still is better

Hey man, you do you. Cole has had fantastic concert performances

Honestly, idk. I had cole and dot as 1a and 1b, but not i gotta switch it to 1b and 1a, lmao.

my thoughts is this a cole reddit

We just witnessed history bruh its getting talked about in all rap subs shut the fuck up

So sick but surprised there was no Baby Keem

i wish baby keem out there, it would've been even more crazy if cole came out and they both did some black friday shit where they switched beats and freestyled

Absolutely electric and to top it off getting all of the neighborhoods together for a group photo while Not Like Us is playing was a major accomplishment for the west.

I enjoyed every moment of it and as a Cole fan I still hold out hope that they can reconcile because I would've loved him to be there.

Reconcile? They're still tight, as evidenced by COle immediately stepping out when he got that call. They're each others greatest rivals, but that hip hop, not personal. The Drake shit was deeper than just hip hop for Dot. Clearly.

You know who really bang a set? My ni... Oh... DAMN.

G Perico and Westside Boogie on stage too mannn loved it

I think in time it will receive a legendary status.

Amazing performance.

this is going down in the history of hip-hop. Dr. Dre introducing Not Like Us that Kendrick ran back 6 times and made 20k people sing along with West Coast legends united on one stage - it's crazy!

The best Juneteenth since 1865

I already knew KDot is the Goat. This concert just made other people understand who Kendrick Lamar is

Exactly, he's the goat of our generation, and nobody can take that from him.

the dickriding is crazy what 😭😭😭

i loved it but 5 times in a row is insane

he had to rub it in drakes face

You know how in movies they only hit the bad guy once in the head and then he gets up? Kdot was making sure he stomped him out.

We got Black Hippy back together again!!!

all i gotta say is if you got friends who are drake fans check on them

Drake gotta be in shambles rn, him name dropping YG only for YG to be at this is so funny

Is it bad to like Kendrick and jCole? Jfc. Fucking middle school vibes 🤣

I got the impression that OP was someone like me, a fan of both. They're my two favorite rappers.

I don’t have any thoughts. Who cares

Yall niggas didn’t even go 😂😂

Didn't see it how is this cole related?

Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

J cole dodged a nuke

Quest love mad as hell somewhere

It was basically a glorified block party celebrating west coast culture and the demise of Drake. It was pretty fucking iconic.

Unbelievable production on both the audio and stream side. Some of the shots were insane. That being said, maybe the greatest concert I ever saw

Dom Kennedy got that Bitch hype and it was up from there!!!

That Audience was mostly suburbian white kids and middle aged white men with a few rich black celebrities spread out and that’s disappointing but everyone killed their performance the lineup was 🔥.

West coast just had a legendary night

I loved it . Was definitely worth me staying awake for 🔥

Historical

Grammy’s aren’t good enuff

Yea I couldn't watch it cuz I was at the gym but from what I've seen it's solid 10/10

I wish I was there. I had to work. Would’ve been fun. I’m glad that everyone else had a wonderful time. I look forward to seeing the video footage online [+]

The most respectful disrespect I ever seen.

Historical for sure

live funeral

only 1 thing was missing, long live the ruler but at least we got a great opener from remble i fuck with him heavy and he like the closest thing to ruler we got imo. insane show loved it and the entire west coast theme, too much to show love too every thing and more that i was looking for

Outstanding. There prolly wont be an event as historic and monumental as this one. Mfer out here with all these diff gangs of LA talking about peace and love while performing NotLike Us 5 times and having everyone scream “ A minorrrrrr” Shit was so lit. 🔥

Why is everyone wearing red

Uniting Gangs in LA but the concert was in Inglewood which is a blood-dominated city. That's my best guess. Pretty sure there were crips on stage too but they weren't repping color.

Bro I was in Brasil watching the stream. Drunk af FaceTimeing all my friends. It felt like we were all together and free. Kendrick makes me feel proud to be black American. They not like us is like that james brown song say it loud im black and I’m proud. Its an anthem! I’m just now waking up and realizing how he energized me and the concert changed my life. I feel like it should’ve been promoted more!

It was petty, corny, and hypocritical. But the kids think this was something important so let them have their moment.

Sitting in my garage on the east coast watching on Prime, but I still felt like I was part of something big.

I think you wouldn’t even be talking about it on a jcole sub had he not beefed with Drake.

Wish Cole was a surprise pop up lol

W.

Where can I see this now? Missed the livestream

Kendrick the goat - A Drake fan

Honestly genius move by Kdot

Thanks for over 2000 upvotes. I didn't expect this post to blow up as much as it did.

I love Cole but kendrick is threatening that Rushmore talk rn that was a moment for rap

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bet the game regrets riding with Drake. He missed the Super Bowl and now this.. that’s gotta hurt!

One of the best live events in hip-hop history. Certainly in the streaming era

Beautiful. Bloods and Crips all on stage together shaking hands and dancing in peace. Everybody put all the gang beef or neighborhood rivalries aside and was just having a good time. That full picture at the end literally has a Blood flag and a Crip flag side by side. Like Kendrick said at the end, it took a lot of work to make that happen. And it's crazy to me that there are people who don't want to see all of LA standing together like this. This was a beautiful thing.

One of the best huo hop events of all time

and then made it pretty much free as long as you have Amazon Prime 🤷🏿 bruh he literally started a new trend.. No major artist would've thought to have a concert be fully streamed through Prime. Also, w/no ads so you know there wasn't any money given to a 3rd party.. 💡

Dude rides for LA heavily

🔥🔥🔥 this was amazing to watch
