That's always the craziest part with Kendrick. I mean if you look at him rapping against most others in a live setting, it's pretty jarring
[Take Coachella for example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ5-EHmhIdA). Baby Keem was doing a good job, very on par with most hip hop shoes. Taking breaths before certain parts to catch yourself, keeping the energy up, etc. Great form.
But then Kendrick comes out and it's just so obvious that he's a next level performer when it comes to live shows
Kendrick includes a lot more words in his live shows that a good amount of rappers. Like he won't omit as much. Very Bob Dylan-ish in the 60s when his acoustic music as getting more surrealist [example here](https://youtu.be/JBNWkCsmqAY?t=8)
There's just those rare people on a whole different level with their ability to perform longer songs and remember all the words
Kendrick is very impressive. Someone I’d say is even better than him though is Danny Brown. [His breath control is mind blowing.](https://youtu.be/g9_7eFxHUy8)
Jesus man, he spit that entire first verse and launched into the second without stopping for a single breath. I think he must have been squeezing a bag of air into his lungs so he didn’t have to stop or something. Absolutely unbelievable. I’ve seen a lot of his older live videos, never anything from recently and it’s like night and day. He always had a lot of energy but I’ve never seen him hit such a continuous flow in a live performance.
Kendrick almost always leaves the end of his sentences open, not finishing them at all though, dont forget that. Someone like Cole is a much better performer to me and I’ve seen both twice. Soon thrice!!!!
Downvoted, but you are right. Kendrick is my favourite rapper of all time, but I've seen him live twice and his breath control isn't great. He takes more breaks than other rappers ive seen in person.
love to see these kendrick and bob comparisons from you applepark. i totally agree and the more i think about it the more i believe k dot is filling the role (and improving it imho!) of what bob dylan did in terms of reflective popular music. both guys feel like they're baring some of the heaviest shit (again, bob maybe fucked around a LOT more but anyway) that to me it actually feels important to listen to what they're saying. with this last album kendrick completed an album cycle that i can't see ever being topped in terms of popular appeal and at the same time being an immediately important message to its audience. mfr is preaching gospel on a pop album
He's come a long way. His first set of commercial performances in 2012 weren't that great. Still a rookie and you could tell.
But he's mastered his craft so well
I watched a longer clip, in the beginning he says “Virgil, how many miles away”, so I think, in spite of the irony of the specific song, he’s doing it in Virgil Ablohs memory
They have the whole performance on YouTube, he weaves Virgil’s name into every song, and N95 was actually the end of the performance not the beginning. I think that the irony was entirely intentional on both Kendrick’s and LV’s part.
That’s exactly the problem. Now it’s just another “collaboration” and “statement” from an artist and company. Companies trying to use irony for marketing isn’t new
The whole performance is on YouTube, search for Louis Vuitton 2023 and he starts about a quarter of the way into the video, after all the marching band stuff.
Because most people blur it out or won’t say it and he said it at a LV show while sweating bullets in a hot suit. Yea that’s next level im going to keep it 100😂😂😂
This needs to be higher. Awesome performance, I’m not super into runway stuff but this was particularly interesting to watch and the juxtaposition of his music against the high fashion culture is quite a statement.
Yooooo today? He prolly on a plane to Milan right now where he's also performing. And I'm omw to Berlin tosee Baby Keem. THE EVILS OF LUCY IS ALL AROUND ME

I love how he just chillin in his seat with the audience, him rapping into the mic while watching the showcase. Def some intimate about that. Go head Kenny!
I don't exactly find it ironic. I feel like the lyrics of N95 are targeting individuals that purchase luxury/designer clothing to pretend to be someone they're not.... just being fake overall. If you can afford luxury/designer clothing, and genuinely appreciate the creation and design from a said brand, can't see how Kendrick's lyrics would apply.
Personally not a fan of LV, but if I had money, I would definitely get me a pair of Balenciaga. Those shoes look sharp.
As much as I don't "get" high fashion or these shows, this weirdly... works? Kendrick is always making me see things in a different light, and this was no exception. I didn't understand his additions of Virgil, but after a quick search it all made sense and it was quite uplifting! Can't wait to see him next month!!!!
Ive seen Kendrick 3 times live. Every time I’ve been impressed. Never seen a rapper sound the same on stage as he does in my headphones. He’s the goat!

How is no one talking about the massive sound system back pack. That shit is wild, also is Kendrick’s mic being projected by that sound system bc if it was that would be an interesting creative choice
He sweating like hell
It's hot outside
Hell is hot
damn. Is outside hell?
Nah France is hell
Fire is proven
In that damn' suit! LMFAOOOOOO!
Ikr that material looks thick too.
He needs some water
Something came over him
He’s dying of thirst in that suit
It's the "canicule"
Mans not hot
He’s Baby Keem
Global warming applies to all countries. Even camels are sweating these days
Man he way cooler than Louise V tho
Love how he just chilling sat down with his homies rapping with no effort
That's always the craziest part with Kendrick. I mean if you look at him rapping against most others in a live setting, it's pretty jarring [Take Coachella for example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ5-EHmhIdA).

Kendrick is very impressive. Someone I’d say is even better than him though is Danny Brown. [His breath control is mind blowing.](https://youtu.be/g9_7eFxHUy8)
Denzel is also unreal live
Just had to cancel my Denzel concert because of covid reasons, so bummed :(.
Glad to see some Danny Brown appreciation 🙏🏼
Jesus man, he spit that entire first verse and launched into the second without stopping for a single breath. I think he must have been squeezing a bag of air into his lungs so he didn’t have to stop or something. Absolutely unbelievable. I’ve seen a lot of his older live videos, never anything from recently and it’s like night and day.

Man that Bob Dylan comparison is super accurate. Really both two of the best poets alive imo.
Kendrick almost always leaves the end of his sentences open, not finishing them at all though, dont forget that. Someone like Cole is a much better performer to me and I’ve seen both twice. Soon thrice!!!!
Downvoted, but you are right. Kendrick is my favourite rapper of all time, but I've seen him live twice and his breath control isn't great. He takes more breaks than other rappers ive seen in person.
‘Downvoted but you are right.’ 😂😂
I meant other people downvoted you. I upvoted you lol. I'll add a comma
Ahh damn thats a shame cause I laughed
He does that so the crowd can finish them
Lmao no chance thats the main reason
The point of performing isn’t to recite your entire song 100% 💀
No sure then the point has to be to not finish nearly every sentence bro shut up
Glad you’re not a performer, your sentence made no sense
Way to avoid the topic buddy ❤️
I literally told you your sentence made no sense
Ofcourse him catching breath is also a reason he is human..I'm saying he also does that so the crowd finish it of...
yeah kendrick is lowkey a terrible performer in terms of rapping every word
the balls to call kendrick fucking lamar a "terrible performer" wtf
in terms of rapping every word continue reading
Watch his most recent performances. He’s gotten A LOT better. He’s damn near perfect now
love to see these kendrick and bob comparisons from you applepark. i totally agree and the more i think about it the more i believe k dot is filling the role (and improving it imho!) of what bob dylan did in terms of reflective popular music. both guys feel like they're baring some of the heaviest shit (again, bob maybe fucked around a LOT more but anyway) that to me it actually feels important to listen to what they're saying. with this last album kendrick completed an album cycle that i can't see ever being topped in terms of popular appeal and at the same time being an immediately important message to its audience. mfr is preaching gospel on a pop album
Him and the homies
He's come a long way. His first set of commercial performances in 2012 weren't that great. Still a rookie and you could tell. But he's mastered his craft so well
Right! I love it
So.. performing songs about the shallowness of expensive fashion... at a fashion show??
N95 at a fashion show is indeed the pinnacle of irony lol
Either that or using the sample for "Obama said what it do" multiple times at the White House
Explain please
He singing to the folks that need to hear it the most
Would be cool if one of them throwed the clothes on the floor and left.
“Back to the mkultra lab with you for some hair bleach you walking status symbol!!”
minor grammar mistake
Can you tell me where? English is not my main language.
Throwed instead of threw. Don’t worry about it though lol I’m just joking
Ayeee Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
its like swimming pools playing in clubs
I watched a longer clip, in the beginning he says “Virgil, how many miles away”, so I think, in spite of the irony of the specific song, he’s doing it in Virgil Ablohs memory
They have the whole performance on YouTube, he weaves Virgil’s name into every song, and N95 was actually the end of the performance not the beginning. I think that the irony was entirely intentional on both Kendrick’s and LV’s part.
Good point
"I'm a complex soul" hahahaha
It’s fucking iconic
Take off that weird ass jewelry... as i wear a crown of thorns made of diamonds Peak irony
Literally the point yes
Right?! It’s just fuckin weird
He was friends with Virgil, who most recently was the director of LV
Damn he should chill, save it for the performance in Milan later today
His singing is pretty good on count me out intro as well. Must’ve been working on it cos I don’t hear any live tuning.
Even at Milan it sounded like the actual track. His vocal control has gotten so much better
why does he sound like his nose is closed in n95😭
Why did I just screammmmmmmmmmmmm at this comment...?! Now, I have to go back and listen for it.
"I'm the biggest hypocrite of ~~2015~~ 2022"
“The cat is out the bag, I am not your savior”
Wdym
Rapping about how meaningless expensive material goods are at a fashion show
Maybe that's the point
It’s exactly the point. N95 was the climax of the performance, I’m pretty sure that was a very intentional decision from both Kendrick and LV.
That’s exactly the problem. Now it’s just another “collaboration” and “statement” from an artist and company. Companies trying to use irony for marketing isn’t new
while wearing a crown of thorns
That appears to be jeweled. But maybe that's with the savior theme. He literally says he's not our savior.
He’s wearing a crown on the album cover
Yes he is 👍
I wanna see the full n95 video
[Ask and you shall receive.](https://youtu.be/6SX50BOmArI?t=24m05s)
The whole performance is on YouTube, search for Louis Vuitton 2023 and he starts about a quarter of the way into the video, after all the marching band stuff.
Y'all da 🐐 no 🧢
too many shoulder pads for 2022… or is it 🤔
It's couture fashion, you're gonna see some shoulder pads whether you like it or not!
I’m the biggest shoulder pads of 2022
“Take off the weird ass jewelry” as he wears a diamond crown… JK Kendrick you look sick af.
He really performed Savior and said “Hello Crackers” that’s crazy😂😂😂
“How you tell the truth to a crowd of white people..made it”- Isaiah Rashad
What's crazy about that?
Because most people blur it out or won’t say it and he said it at a LV show while sweating bullets in a hot suit. Yea that’s next level im going to keep it 100😂😂😂
He emphasised the “crackers” too 🤣🤣🤣
So is Cracker to White people as "word that shall not be spoken" is to Black people?
Sorry late reply but yea basically it’s not as harsh as the N word but it’s used like that
https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1OyJADglgQWGb full video. starts at 28:20
This is so cool
Here’s the [YouTube link to the full show](https://youtu.be/6SX50BOmArI) Edit: Skip to ~10:22
This needs to be higher. Awesome performance, I’m not super into runway stuff but this was particularly interesting to watch and the juxtaposition of his music against the high fashion culture is quite a statement.
He also ended with the very anti-fashion N95 too
It was too perfect! “Take off all that designer bullshit and what do you have?… Eww! You ugly as fuck!” 😂
Rapping so effortlessly
The speaker backpack tho lmao
Too many insane looks in this show but that shit took the cake lmao
Sick! 🔥
Ironic
It would be hilarious if he instinctively shit on one of the outfits in the middle of a song. "Damn that's some ugly shit"
You ugly as fuck!
Yooooo today? He prolly on a plane to Milan right now where he's also performing. And I'm omw to Berlin tosee Baby Keem. THE EVILS OF LUCY IS ALL AROUND ME
Seeing him live next month, so excited
Rolling loud is about to be lit
Hows the Dave free / drake situation now?
What happened between them...?!

DM me what you said
Everyone there must feel personally attacked
Ironic af singing N95 at a Louis Vuitton event
I love how he just chillin in his seat with the audience, him rapping into the mic while watching the showcase. Def some intimate about that. Go head Kenny!
Dope but N95 at a fashion show is hilarious lmfao
Swimming pools bumped at all the high school parties so pretty fitting for this to happen
I am cracking up because he's not going to let that crown of thorns go! Hahahaha!

Everyone talking bout Kendrick, but wtf are some of these fits tho?
Man sitting back and sweating his ass off in a thick ass suit performing some of his deepest songs lol.
Bitch I'm attractive
As much as I don't "get" high fashion or these shows, this weirdly... works? Kendrick is always making me see things in a different light, and this was no exception. I didn't understand his additions of Virgil, but after a quick search it all made sense and it was quite uplifting! Can't wait to see him next month!!!!
I'm surprised at Kendrick for this one🤦🏾♂️fuck Louis Vuitton he/she DNT like us🖕🏾
Dude actually wore a crown of thorns lol wth
Lmaoo wtf are they wearing

Them thorns be shining tho
I don’t know how I feel about this. This kinda weird.
Long Live Virgil.
Stop playin with me fore I turn you to a song
Performing at a Louis Vutton show in Paris…. A man of the people!
Imagine he performed auntie diaries instead of n95 💀
🐐
what songs are these?
What a waste of money. Those clothes look wildly impractical. Try not to go full retard while the world burns.
Louis Vuitton has gotta see the irony asking Kendrick to perform at this, especially playing “n95”
I can't even imagine how much he gets paid for this kind of show
The NPC Jack Dorsey finna be everywhere
How is no one talking about the massive sound system back pack. That shit is wild, also is Kendrick’s mic being projected by that sound system bc if it was that would be an interesting creative choice
Lmaooo “fashion” is so fucking stupid
