Kendrick Lamar performs ‘Not Like Us’ live for the first time: Watch
Kendrick Lamar took to the stage at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, for “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends,” celebrating Juneteenth with a performance that included several live debuts.
The concert marked Lamar’s first live appearance since his public feud with Drake. The setlist featured the debut of multiple diss tracks aimed at Drake, including “Euphoria,” “Like That,” and “Not Like Us.”
Opening the show with “Euphoria,” Lamar followed with several tracks from his album DAMN., such as “BLOOD.,” “DNA.,” and “ELEMENT.” He was then joined by Black Hippy members Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, and ScHoolboy Q, each performing songs from their solo careers.
Lamar’s performance continued with hits like “King Kunta,” “m.A.A.d city,” and “HUMBLE.” The diss track “Like That” was then introduced, igniting the crowd.
In a notable highlight, Dr. Dre joined Lamar on stage to perform “Still D.R.E.” and 2Pac’s “California Love,” the latter marking their first live performance together since 2014. Dre introduced “Not Like Us,” which Lamar performed six times in a row with the audience chanting along each time.
“The Pop Out Ken & Friends” also featured a set by “Not Like Us” producer Mustard, who brought out Tyler, the Creator, YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Steve Lacy, and others for a dynamic show.
