Kendrick Lamar — The Pop Out, Kia Forum, 2024

Why this recording

Posted the day after the show, on 20 June 2024, the video isolates Kendrick Lamar's set within a night that featured many other artists, and follows it for almost an hour and a half. The running order makes the intent clear: “euphoria” as the opener, then a trip through the catalogue from “DNA.” to “HUMBLE.”, before “Like That” brings the night back to the news of the moment. Mustard and DJ Hed hold down the decks while guests follow one another, from Jay Rock to Dr. Dre.

Capture of Kendrick Lamar’s live set at « The Pop Out: Ken & Friends », the landmark concert held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood (California) on 19 June 2024, Juneteenth. Streamed live on Amazon, this celebration of the West Coast scene gathered more than twenty-five artists around the Compton rapper, a few weeks after his headline-making feud with Drake. Kendrick Lamar runs through his classics — « HUMBLE. », « Alright », « King Kunta », « m.A.A.d city », « DNA. » — and performs several of his disses live for the first time, including « euphoria » and « Like That ». The concert peaks with Dr. Dre joining for « Still D.R.E. » and « California Love », before « Not Like Us » played five times in a row. Guests include Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Ty Dolla $ign, Steve Lacy, Tyler, the Creator, YG and Roddy Ricch. A hip-hop full set that became instantly historic.
