Now, of course, we're going to get into everything entailing the Kendrick Lamar pop-out concert. And I'm going to get into my personal sentiments at the end. And they may or may not be heavily influenced by me being a drink stand. But at the beginning, of course, let's just focus on the facts. Because one of the biggest things that I took from this show is that Kendrick's breath control is at another level or on another level because the way that he wraps, the way that he puts together his words at the live stream or at the live show, the way that he was pausing to gain his breath so he can hit certain other flow of words is a masterclass in itself on how to perform. because if you notice he didn't have any back tracking or back vocals as far as when he was rapping it was just the beat and him and he first started off with euphoria which i believe is like a

six plus minute track and he wrapped the entire thing i don't think y'all understand how difficult that is like imagine being an actor and two to three scenes straight you're performing Oh, it's like people on Broadway. When you act live in front of a crowd on Broadway, it's exactly like that for music artists. So that is why a lot of newer artists are very lazy with their performances as far as hip-hop. That's why, if you notice, only the top of the top can sell out arenas or stadiums as far as hip-hop is considered. Because we have a very bad stigma of not performing great. And that's due to people playing their vocals in the background and not rapping at all.

Like, whenever I watched the performance back, at first I thought they turned off Todd Dollar signs mic. I thought it was some technical difficulty. And then I just realized, oh, he was on some holier than now type beat out there acting like the mic wasn't working. But really, he just didn't want to sing. Which I just thought that was a... I just wanted to point that out because I thought that was very inconsiderate, especially, you know, for all. the other artists that showed up i mean todd dollar sign is not that big to be that hollywood to not want to perform at a kendrick show you know so anyways i you know a lot of things stood out to me when i was

watching the show but some of the biggest things that i noticed was that kendrick is a great live performer stage presence breath control the way that he interacted with the crowd somehow some way i don't know if they taped it i don't know what they did but his hoodie never fell off that entire performance i thought that was one of the most impressive things another thing him rapping to um well i don't know if he was rapping to it but as far as the camera cuts and the way that the choreography was made because of course they probably already pre-rehearsed this but when the wop-wop-wop-wop adlib came in for the track the camera cuts for each wop was phenomenal I don't know who thought of that, but that was fantastic.

It reminded me of how Travis Scott usually has his performances as far as the choreography and how he wants it to go step and step with the music. Like, certain choreography is made for certain tracks for Travis Scott as far as how he wants the camera to cut in a certain way. And that's what, that's what Kendrick on stage reminded me of. So I would say that's the highest compliment because currently, if for talking best hip hop performers currently i will say it's travis scott i'll probably say it's i'm not going to lie we don't have a lot of good hip hop performers i'm not going to lie to you

and people gonna think i'm hating but if you go to like a and this going to sound crazy but if you go to like a country or a pop show you'll realize that hip hop artists are doing you a disservice when you pay all that money to go to the live concert like that's why i'm gonna leave you that because I don't want nobody thinking I'm on some other type B. I'm just calling it like I see it. But yeah, as far as the stage production, Kendrick was fantastic. The fire, the lasers.

I like that, the whole red and blue theme because let's just say it was a lot of repping going on. And I'm going to leave it at that for right now. So as far as the concert highlights or just the plain details, the concert was held at the Kia Forum in Englewood, California, on of course Juneteenth and featured Kendrick Lamar of course a lot of a lot of other artists like Tyler the Creator was one that stood out to me um Roddy Rich was another one that stood out to me I'll probably forget in so many I mean there's so many that came out I mean schoolboy Q um

for the Migos still from Atlanta so it wouldn't have made sense but mustard and megos I feel like they make the best music together So, I mean, as far as getting into details, obviously there's a lot more people that showed up like Steve Lacey. YG was another one. Todd Dahlissan just fleeced the whole promoters and producers of the concert because he got up there and got a free bag for not saying anything, acting like the mic, acting like the mic, if y'all know this, because at first I was like, oh, man, I can't believe they messed up the mic when Tadalasang got on stage. but if you watch it again they handed him about three to four different mics because he was acting like the mic didn't work but in all actuality he just didn't want to perform so he got up there and fleece the whole producers for a bag which you know i guess i'm not no i'm mad at it because it's more of a camaraderie type show so why not just perform like a you too big for a junez concert like what does that really say about todd dala sign like no wonder he out there hanging with connier so anyways uh that's enough of that so getting more to the concert i would say uh the west coast unity was a sight to behold because of the different um the different affiliations let's put it like that so i like how kensry glmore brought that

together and it was more of a west coast unity thing more than a diss tour as drake and i'm not going to let my bias for drake slip out just yet so let's just leave it at that so LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and a lot of NBA players was present, but it wasn't just for no reason. Like, I believe Westbrook and DeMarter Rosen are from L.A., if I'm not mistaken. LeBron, I mean, he's in L.A. because he's currently playing for L.A., so it makes sense why he would pop out. I know a lot of people made a big deal about it.

But for me, LeBron just wants to probably see one of the biggest hip-hop concerts ever. And as far as aiming, as far as Kendrick's objective to bring real change to the hip-hop community in the West Coast, I would say it's a long way to go. Because gang politics is never as simple as one meeting and then it's over. So we'll see if he actually follows through and overcomes the adversity when faced with bringing different gangs together. I'm a law-abiding citizen. So I don't know behind the scenes. back and forth, the behind the scenes conflicts. But what I can say is that Kendrick got a lot of people from different teams to be peaceful during the whole concert.

So that's what I would say is a big highlight on Kendrick Lamar's part. So it's more of a West Coast unity. It was historic night for West Coast hip-hop and just reaffirmed. reinforced that Kendrick Lamar is indeed the best rapper of the modern generation for what he stands for for what he wraps, for what he

encaptivates as a person as a human obviously as his downfalls what I'm about to get into because I haven't given my biased review just yet. I'm about to but Kendrick Lamar is just one of the greatest icons we've ever had in hip-hop.

Kendrick Lamar is and I've said it before the beef like if y'all ever seen My little cover, not little, because you know what I mean? I can't do myself like that. But if y'all have never seen my flag, it's more of like a flag. But my cover for notorious mass effect, the only two people I have from this modern generation is Drake and Kendrick. Like it's nobody else.

The others is like Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie, Lil Wayne, and Kanye. Like, I don't really think there's too many that's able to uphold hip-hop like this as far as keeping the masses and captivated. Because a lot of people who are coming up in the game just want to hit a lick and go to something else. So these people are really in tune with hip hop, even though Kendrick goes away for three to four years, which we fought him for. If you really think about it as an adult, these years go by so fast that whenever he comes back, he's always consistently came back and given us classics. So looking at it from an older perspective, because I'm definitely, I mean, I guess I'm an adult technically.

But as far as looking at it from that aspect, he doesn't take too much time off if you really think about it. But as far as just being in the middle school, high school life, like three years, it's like an eternity, you know? So, anyways, is that it for my non-biased review? Let me see. The game was absent, and he addressed it on his Instagram live, emphasizing his ongoing relationship with Drake and Lamar. Don't you love people who actually care about genuine relationships they had with Drake instead of just? acting like he never existed like literally all right my fault i don't know i'm by well technically i don't know man why j played a whole song that was a alley you from drake and cut off drake's part right when it's

about to happen i'm like okay all right buddy all right that's cool but anyways um is that it oh dr drake came out performed still dr dr drake and california love we're gonna get to more we're gonna get to him more in a second the the atmosphere was great. When Tyler the Creator came out and his song, I don't listen to Tyler the Creator like that, but it was one song where the crowd went crazy. It was like right before he said thank you. It was that last stanza. The crowd was going. Oh, it was the call me. That part when he said, call me, you had thought it was Tyler the Creators concert. Like that was a not like us type moment. Like the way that the audience was reacting to that song, I was like, dang.

Like, imagine having a whole concert, you know, for gang banging West Coast people. And the thing that rung off the most was the call me track from Tyler the Creator. So anyways, I think that's a great transition to my bias review. So now I'm putting on my Drake Stan hat. And I just got to point out a couple things. I mean, a amount of Caucasians that was out there saying the N-word religiously. I mean, come on now. I mean, you couldn't draw it up any better.

I mean, imagine if Drake would have came out with a caption before the concert and said, every West Coast native better check the white people saying the N-word at the concert because that would have been a pivotal thing to say before the concert. Because when I tell you, the camera was trying to find a group of black people, it was hard. Then you know what? Because let's not act like some of these stadiums. and aren't

not filled by majority white people. Let's just not act like these Juneteenth concerts are exclusively black people showing up. So as far as people, because it's really a price point type thing. It's not, like if it feels free, I think it would have been mostly, well, that comes off a certain way.

Like, black people have money, of course. But I'm just saying as far as expand, exposable income, because of previous things, which June T, highlights some backgrounds aren't as financially well off because you didn't have decades plus to build up financial wealth or generational wealth I should say you know as far as slavery is considered we didn't have the head start that other races have so they

have more exposable income to show up to these type of shows that's how I'm trying to that's basically what I'm saying so as far as that aspect it makes sense why the are white people and showing up to the concert. And the whole thing with them saying the N-word, I mean, who's going to check them? Kendrick going to stop the concert to point out each and every white fan to tell him to get out the concert? But I just thought that was hilarious.

I mean, the amount of white people at Kendrick's fan telling Drake he couldn't say the N-word while saying the N-word. I mean, that's just, that's comedy at his finest. Anyways, continuing with my Drake fan review. Dr. Drey, don't think we forgot about you, buddy. 1991 Dr. Dre assaulted female music journalist Dee Barnes leading to charges in a lawsuit which he pleaded no contest and guess what? 2015 Dr. Dre again issued an apology for past abuse allegations against him

where numerous women came out. So as far as Dr. Dre being on stage to introduce Kendrick's Not Like Us track, I just thought is a testament to say that Drake's family matters continues to be the best track amongst this entire beef. Because I'm out of people advocating and just highlighting these people who put hands on women. It's just ridiculous. At this point, we should just let Diddy free. You know what me? If Dr. Drager's out here going crazy and one apology lets him continue his iconic status this in hip hop then as far as diddy as far as kendrick you know i mean who cares you know what i'm saying like if nobody's going to point this stuff out um i guess i got to be the one to do it because

i mean if drake comes out on a track and talks about alleged women beaters uh singing kumbi on stage let's just know let's just know that uh we probably can guess who he's talking about because Kendrick and Dr. Dre being up there on stage just reinforced the it reinforced to me that Family Matters continues to be the best track in this beef battle so anyways um what else why g cutting off the feature from Drake right when it was about to happen was uh hilarious because if Drake wasn't that impactful then why even play a track that Drake was on right shouldn't y'all be able to stand on your own without drake or did drake help you so much that you should probably be more neutral than the pick aside so for wjie i thought that was just beyond hilarious because he couldn't find anything in his discography uh that would impact the masses more than a drake uh influence track so that was funny but anyways let's keep going so as far as uh me goes young blue block boy jb i love mcconin smiley etc a lot of people are very quiet when it comes to this Drake Slander.

And they don't want to advocate for the amount of impact that Drake had on their career as far as making millions and millions of dollars to take care of the families for the foreseeable future. So all of these people who have been impacted by Drake and just want to keep silent, it's just very interesting to me how in the world could you get such an allude from somebody who has catapulted your success in life and you act like it never existed in the midst of one of the craziest attacks on a man's character. Like they're just out here singing a whole pedophile anthem and dapping it up on stage like they don't know what the song is really doing. like they don't know the real meaning of the song is to call drake a drake and his man as a pedophile and they just on stage dapping it up smiling kumbaya westberg out there doing the cripp walk like at this point i'm just like man talk about talk about a lawsuit in the making i mean imagine one of them just slip up and say hey drake certified pedophile that's a lawsuit my brother i can't wait for it so anyways let's keep going um i think i covered everything

Rich telling DJ Mustard that people saying they fell off which is you know what was that called when self projection or self you're just projecting yeah he was basically saying they're saying we fell off like no my brother they're saying you fell off so I thought that was funny um even though I like Roddy Rich like Roddy Rich be out the way I just had to send that shot for no reason what else I had to get some of my other Drake bias out the way oh yeah okay so um Kendrick and Drake let me see Drake they will say

is in a tumultuous time right now wouldn't you say that's what the public is saying so like wouldn't you agree all right so Kendrick people would say is in his prime currently because he just took out

Drake 1V1 supposedly even though Metro Farrell the weekend future ASAP oh my fault Tyga ASAP Rocky

Kanye I mean it's too many in the name I mean, how many options Aubrey really have? I mean, it's so many options. You know what I'm saying? So they said Kendrick took out Drake. He's at the height of his career.

They said Drake's done, supposedly, by public review. And Kendrick currently has 73 monthly listeners, which if you really think about it, monthly should be the premier stat because it's talking about the now. And shouldn't you be bigger than Drake since they say he fell off? They said you're currently the king.

of hip-hop. Drake currently has 77 million monthly listeners. So in the month that Kendrick has put out a music video, or no, he's about to put out a music video. He's did a whole concert for the pedophile anthem. Everybody's saying Drake has fell off. Drake is still doing better numbers statistically than Kendrick Lamar. And that's all I have to say, because a lot of people be acting like they don't, it's kind of like the Donald Trump effect. You know, I don't like to talk about politics too much. but what i can say is everybody talking about donald trump uh the first time you know before he first became president everybody was saying man i'm not voting for don't trump don't trump crazy that that's a man man i would never vote for don't trump he's such a bad man and then he ended up winning the election i'm like

hold up now hold hold up i thought we was voting for it you know what i'm saying i thought we was voted for this person and y'all bowed y'all bam y'all y'all y'all out here lying through your teeth you know what i'm saying y'all just straight up fabricating and out here just saying blasphemous things that you're not even staying true to you know what I mean as far as being a man what isn't it staying true to your word so a lot of people just out here lying talking about how drake has fell off when they're secretly listening to him and that's just you know shown by the numbers monthly listeners you would think would be the premier staff for Kendrick and here is uh Drake out still out selling him monthly.

So with that being say, let's get to some more stats because, you know, I'm, you know, hey, as far as the podcast, I love talking about things that impact the masses and not like us has slid all the way to number 11 after a whole concert and after a whole music video that's about to come out. So with that being said, it's very interesting how Kendrick fans are out here, you know, doing a victory lap based on the defeating or the defeat, quote unquote, of Drake. they're not even supporting their artist music so yeah that's basically it what else let's beg you uh yeah because uh not like us was in the top five somehow is that number 11

after a whole concert and music video y'all let me know how that happens but um so yeah that's basically that's my that's my drake bias review as you know i'm a drake stand and i'm always going to come with the analytics and the facts so uh the biggest thing that stood out to me was the dr drake thing like as far as being um as far as being a tone death as far as being just completely oblivious to the statements made about you that you never once um you never once said it wasn't true you never once like declined it you never once being like oh man that's just completely false like he he broadly said why you trolling are you tired and then that's when the A minor came

the A minor line came but as far as the like completely coming out and debunking the whole woman beating allegations I mean at this point it's like goodness gracious that man just said nobody cares so I'm not even going to address it

and with Dr. Dre and him on stage I mean I guess he proved him right So that'd be it said, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias.
