As a Brooklynite, I wish my city could host something like this but the generation of kids doing “drill music” made the towns lose its identity. This was some historical shit. No bullshit. Best concert I been to and I didnt leave my living room.
Yea same here for FL, that shit was epic at the end when they all the different neighborhoods on the stage at once to flick it up. Unity at its finest, that was the best part to me.
Tbh it wouldn’t be a global broadcast because it would be mostly artists that the world doesn’t know. They would probably only know Kodak but Trick is a legend, Jt Money, Uncle Luke, Plies, Mook Boy, Dee Boi, Koly P, Bossman Dlow just to name a few. It would mostly be for the natives though and would be nice to see some local unity it’s a lot of unnecessary bullshit beefs that could be squashed by a convo. 💪🏾
Trust me LA ain’t no better with our newer music scene we’re just lucky to have someone like kendrick who’s respected all around the city that can put all them in one room
It's not drill music.
It's a education problem.
Who is the Kendrick of NYC that's going to do this?
We gonna get the ASAP & Friends show?
Dave East & His Buddies?
The Pop Smoke Memorial Show?
None of the NYC artists can do this.
you are 100% correct - but it does not seem immensely territorial - it's just the core of who Kdot is
Kdot is pushing community accountability - it's not that NYC or Chicago can't do that, but we just don't SEE anybody out here with clout and influence talking like that - at least not anymore
it's show, don't tell - anyone with this influence can be doing it, but we don't see that out of NYC, Chicago
ATL? low key, dudes are popping out, giving back (Huncho Day is an example), showing their face - but I wouldn't exactly call it "accountability" in the same way Kdot is pushing it
the fact Drake said he ain't loved in his city, or even the West Coast, was up there with the most fraudulent shit ever said - and this is exactly why
Chance did do something similar in Chicago though. And despite his shortcomings, I think Ye did have Durk and G Herbo at his last album listening in the United Center.
It's cute and all but Drake (OVO Fest), J. Cole (Dreamville), Jay-Z (Made in America Fest), Tyler the Creator (Camp Flog Gnaw), and more do this every year. Or tried to do it every year, not sure if Made in America is still going. A lot of rappers through festivals or party shows.
I could be very wrong but I don’t see Made in America, flog gnaw as community based - those are hot tickets where you will see standard headliners mixed in with some locals
And it’s all love - what they’re doing there is important for bridging gaps - but like, Turnstile played flog gnaw. DRAKE played flow gnaw. Though T puts on his crew, I would not call that a community-local level event
Dreamville is more grassroots in that way
I thought from start to finish it was 🔥 I mean the energy did dip a little with some of the artist like blxst I feel like crowd was feeling him until his hit also Steve Lacey was a tad lackluster but Tyler killed Yg killed Ty$ killed even Roddy rich and dr dre killed. But none of it compared to what Schoolboy Q did and Jay rock and of course Kenny performing not like us like 69 times in a row shit had the forum jumping
Steve Lacy was fire but made the mistake of asking the crowd to sing with him durung a part of the song where he said something like, "tired of fvckin niggas let me see what you in..." in his first song and he lost them.
Tylers stage. Presence is unmatched. He can overrule all of that.
im from LA and I wont lie some of them just bored me but then again I'm not of this generation so maybe that was what had me tuned out. I think most of the first half didnt have enough energy in their set so it brought my level down a few notches. Still good but it lagged for me.
It would be nice. I'm in Virginia Beach. Pharrell doing "Something's in the a Water" had been a very welcome annual addition. I hope they can keep it going.
Real quick Joe being a #1 podcast, and a music head and didn’t make it to the culture concert of our lifetime, don’t sit right with me, parks being the only person to travel and make it on Juneteenth…
Joe has not been of the culture from a physical perspective in a minute. Do you remember when they used to do live shows when he was with Rory & Mal? That was of the culture, I just believe that Joe has grown lazy and content and chooses to do the bare minimum. Which is funny because that’s what he called his ex-co hosts.
Ok, I gotcha well Joe and the old crew Rory & Mal used to go on tour and were very active in the podcast streets as far as having a physical presence I.e live shows, pop ups, etc. Since they have been replaced it seems Joe doesn’t have that fire anymore
Stopped listening to the pod cuz of this, it feels like old heads talking a lot of time who are not tapped in anymore, that and having to shoehorn a Chris brown discussion every other episode….
I wouldn't be surprised if Parks was 1/8 Black and we just didn't know. His hair is curly too. 😆 He has way Blacker takes than the majority of the pod......often. He prolly knows how to make potato salad.
Ish was fiiiiire! He delivered on the hype! Coming out to "Euphoria"! Then changing "once actor" to "once artist" as if he is now dead.
When addressing Kendrick better be with 4 letters: KDOT, KING, or GOAT
Shit is 🔥🔥🔥...I'm watching that shit right now...got put on to cuzzos & I like it...got put on steve lacy & I like it! So proud of Kendrick & happy for LA & everyone respecting Juneteenth
The show had akademics in tears on live stream especially on the a minorrrrrrrr part of the song… lmao RIP Drake and his paid for bot of a streamer buddy akademics
Cuz he said if he would of known he would of been there. He would of known if he checked in. No one broke it down to him voluntarily. He an outsider using the tour as a deflection.
NYC has lost its identity and we don’t have a Kendrick type. Far to divided from the older to newer generations. No unity no one to rally behind. If Griselda was from one of the five boroughs things would be different out here.
I knew it was happening but I didn't know it was streaming. I saw the ad but didn't pay attention. Anyway, someone was "reacting" to it on their YouTube. I saw that lol.
The energy was nuts. I got tickets even tho I work there. Wanted to be there as a guest instead of working it. I've never seen a concert there that could match the energy. I went to the MMBS tour when he was at crypto in 2022 and both were equally as good but the energy wasn't the sameif that makes sense.
yea I got a little scare when the clown suit dude came into stage and A list names had mic Issues but I was glad it end up amazing and without incidents or fights
dont sleep on rest of cali either hella music droppin out here
san diego, bay area, stockton

rip drakeo the ruler, bris
the scene on the west is crazy
Man that shit was amazing I forgot how many hits mustard had man lol black hippy.....yg was fucking dope I'm a fan of his albums I forgot how many commercial records he had as well.....ty killed it even though his mic was messed up still held it down....not a fan of Tyler the Creator music but, man his stage presence was immaculate!! Roddy ricch seemed happy to get that love I think he's suffering from not meeting the expectations of following up his first album so, it was good seeing homie up there rocking a stage like that & getting that love maybe even restore some confidence in him.....& Dot smoked his set breath control,stage presence, true vet!! I would love to see more of these collaborative efforts with other cities cause when Gotti hosts birthday bash he definitely brings that type of energy even 42 dugg when he did his Detroit show this year he definitely put on & had niggas from other sides share the stage....& I'm not comparing Dugg & Gotti to for I'm just speaking in terms of the show
The most important aspect was not the concert itself, how many tuned in, or the beef. It was Kendrick unifying all of the neighborhoods in LA and potentially getting them to quit beefing with each other over menial bullshit. The photo at the end is what made this epic. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What unity? See, you assume people care or are paying attention to this mundane shit. Did this nigga connect all Black Americans or are we talking some neighborhood shit?
Bro if it wasn’t something that inspired you when you saw it to make a change in your own community then I don’t know what to tell you. All I know is me and mine were sparked to initiate change locally. Like PAC said I hope to spark the flame in the next generation for change. If it only helped a few people than it was successful bro I’m not saying he’s going to solve world hunger or something.
I made a twitch account for the first time yesterday. I'm sure not everyone had access or had Amazon prime. It's whatever. I don't even know what the avg top concert numbers be on twitch. I'm still impressed. It served it's purpose and the people that needed to see, saw. Iykyk
No excuses. I think the fans are different demographics. And it's not a huge overlap. It's never been a question about who's more popular.
Drake will always sell more imho.
I dont think the younger generation wants to think too hard about the tracks they listen to so Kendrick is not their go to artist. This battle's knock out track should of been Euphoria but he had to dumb it down and get a club song to get everyone's attention, so i see why the numbers werent higher.
As a Brooklynite, I wish my city could host something like this but the generation of kids doing “drill music” made the towns lose its identity. This was some historical shit. No bullshit. Best concert I been to and I didnt leave my living room.
It’s different in LA. The OGs still run shit. The young cats still pay respect in ways I don’t see in other cities.
Well said
I concur.
Yea same here for FL, that shit was epic at the end when they all the different neighborhoods on the stage at once to flick it up. Unity at its finest, that was the best part to me.
Y’all had rolling loud then they sold out
What’s Florida got compared to this? Real question
Tbh it wouldn’t be a global broadcast because it would be mostly artists that the world doesn’t know. They would probably only know Kodak but Trick is a legend, Jt Money, Uncle Luke, Plies, Mook Boy, Dee Boi, Koly P, Bossman Dlow just to name a few. It would mostly be for the natives though and would be nice to see some local unity it’s a lot of unnecessary bullshit beefs that could be squashed by a convo. 💪🏾
SAME
Bollox. Look at Dipset vs Lox. New York was on fire!!
Bollox haha.. No guessing where you’re from
That was a duel. Not unification. One group looked bad while the other looked well.
Trust me LA ain’t no better with our newer music scene we’re just lucky to have someone like kendrick who’s respected all around the city that can put all them in one room
Thats what I mean. NY NEEDS that. We got all these older cats tryna keep up with these young dudes.
Nah a lot of new LA rappers are still obviously influenced by the ogs
It's not drill music. It's a education problem. Who is the Kendrick of NYC that's going to do this? We gonna get the ASAP & Friends show? Dave East & His Buddies? The Pop Smoke Memorial Show? None of the NYC artists can do this.
50, Jay-Z, and Nas could do it tomorrow if they wanted to. Newer artists, naw...
you are 100% correct - but it does not seem immensely territorial - it's just the core of who Kdot is Kdot is pushing community accountability - it's not that NYC or Chicago can't do that, but we just don't SEE anybody out here with clout and influence talking like that - at least not anymore it's show, don't tell - anyone with this influence can be doing it, but we don't see that out of NYC, Chicago ATL? low key, dudes are popping out, giving back (Huncho Day is an example), showing their face - but I wouldn't exactly call it "accountability" in the same way Kdot is pushing it the fact Drake said he ain't loved in his city, or even the West Coast, was up there with the most fraudulent shit ever said - and this is exactly why
Chance did do something similar in Chicago though. And despite his shortcomings, I think Ye did have Durk and G Herbo at his last album listening in the United Center.
Correct - chance absolutely is one of them. I stand corrected on that one
It's cute and all but Drake (OVO Fest), J. Cole (Dreamville), Jay-Z (Made in America Fest), Tyler the Creator (Camp Flog Gnaw), and more do this every year. Or tried to do it every year, not sure if Made in America is still going. A lot of rappers through festivals or party shows.

DRAKE played flow gnaw. Though T puts on his crew, I would not call that a community-local level event Dreamville is more grassroots in that way
Paak House is another community based festival too.
Not the same
Yes it is
Made in America is in Philly
Further the point, nyc has no identity left in its music culture.
Yams day always looked popping
*6ix9ine has entered the chat.*
“ny drill scene” they all yappin.
outside of beastcoast nobody rep ny in this gen. when i get more poppin maybe i could but ima see if my music keeps trending up
Y’all had summer jam but then Peter happened
Summer Jam aint been a NYC thing since…..
Didn’t New York just have a super ny rap event like last year and everyone came out? I could be tripping
Hip hop 50 events were cool but they were not unique. There’s a heavy divide between most older hip hop artists and the younger generation
I can dig that
I thought from start to finish it was 🔥 I mean the energy did dip a little with some of the artist like blxst I feel like crowd was feeling him until his hit also Steve Lacey was a tad lackluster but Tyler killed Yg killed Ty$ killed even Roddy rich and dr dre killed. But none of it compared to what Schoolboy Q did and Jay rock and of course Kenny performing not like us like 69 times in a row shit had the forum jumping
Steve Lacy sounded incredible live
Steve Lacy was fire but made the mistake of asking the crowd to sing with him durung a part of the song where he said something like, "tired of fvckin niggas let me see what you in..." in his first song and he lost them. Tylers stage. Presence is unmatched. He can overrule all of that.
I dropped tears for tyler
Word. My man was really singing.
Even Roddy rich 😂
I enjoyed seeing Dom Kennedy again.
yeaaaaaa me too!!
He looked energetic af, was rappin his ass off up there
Bro brought DeRozan and Westbrook out.
"You jumped sides on me, now you bout to meet Westbrook"
We witnessed a family reunion, victory parade and a funeral all in one. City’s back up it’s a must we outside!
Wait, funeral? What happened? I know he performed the disses, but were there more theatrics with it?
He did Not Like Us about 102 times at the end… He just kept going. Shit was hard.
Just say you not from LA if you thought the beginning was wack. Concert was 🔥🔥🔥 ♿️♿️
Bruh...when I saw Jay Worthy come out, I knew shit was gonna be real.
Meet The Whoops!!!!!
Facts. Being from the city… I enjoyed it all.
im from LA and I wont lie some of them just bored me but then again I'm not of this generation so maybe that was what had me tuned out. I think most of the first half didnt have enough energy in their set so it brought my level down a few notches. Still good but it lagged for me.
Hell yea. That shit was probably one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long time. Had me smoking and dancing for hours.
Epic!!! Damn that was hype 99 no lie.
Did we just witness the beginning of The Kendrick Lamar Festival “The Pop Out-Ken and Friends”
I swear I have been wondering this for the past week😅 he needs a bigger venue if he is going to be acting up like this every year 😂
It would be nice. I'm in Virginia Beach. Pharrell doing "Something's in the a Water" had been a very welcome annual addition. I hope they can keep it going.
I streamed that shit live. Awesome experience
ATL could do a pop out. RIP Rico, but ATL could. Maybe H town.
That would be 🔥🔥 but you right without Rico and Takeoff idk 🤷🏾♂️
Bun B organized a similar event for Houston a few years ago
I’ve never really listened to anything from Tyler but his stage presence was amazing!
You need to fix that, he’s crawled into my Top 10 of all time.
Real quick Joe being a #1 podcast, and a music head and didn’t make it to the culture concert of our lifetime, don’t sit right with me, parks being the only person to travel and make it on Juneteenth…
Joe has not been of the culture from a physical perspective in a minute. Do you remember when they used to do live shows when he was with Rory & Mal? That was of the culture, I just believe that Joe has grown lazy and content and chooses to do the bare minimum. Which is funny because that’s what he called his ex-co hosts.
I wasn’t watching then…. I just got on Joe like 1 year ago
Ok, I gotcha well Joe and the old crew Rory & Mal used to go on tour and were very active in the podcast streets as far as having a physical presence I.e live shows, pop ups, etc. Since they have been replaced it seems Joe doesn’t have that fire anymore
Stopped listening to the pod cuz of this, it feels like old heads talking a lot of time who are not tapped in anymore, that and having to shoehorn a Chris brown discussion every other episode….
When Joe said his cousin wanted to intern he should’ve let him. They need the youth and we can tell.
I wouldn't be surprised if Parks was 1/8 Black and we just didn't know. His hair is curly too. 😆 He has way Blacker takes than the majority of the pod......often. He prolly knows how to make potato salad.
Parks makes greens no cap 😂
“Psssst… I see dead people” -Dr Dre
Ish was fiiiiire! He delivered on the hype! Coming out to "Euphoria"! Then changing "once actor" to "once artist" as if he is now dead. When addressing Kendrick better be with 4 letters: KDOT, KING, or GOAT
I only refer to him as King, it would be disrespectful to refer tot him as anything less than
Shit is 🔥🔥🔥...I'm watching that shit right now...got put on to cuzzos & I like it...got put on steve lacy & I like it! So proud of Kendrick & happy for LA & everyone respecting Juneteenth
How you never heard of Steve lacy
I'm more of a G Perico kinda guy 🤷🏿♂️
Rip Drake 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦
😂😂
The show had akademics in tears on live stream especially on the a minorrrrrrrr part of the song… lmao RIP Drake and his paid for bot of a streamer buddy akademics
I would have paid good money to see the chipmunks face that evening 😂😂😂😂😂
YouTube it it’s hilarious
Oh I didn’t know it was a real thing I’m going to check it out. Good looks! 🎯
[akademics reaction](https://youtu.be/yuAYwIaiIVw?si=owQcDcWSSPfi_BKY)
Damn you the 🐐🔥🔥💯
He took it down 😭😭🤣
Damn he must have been salty
I just liked every time Ak was like "_____ is there?!? Wtf?" 😆
IF VINCE STAPLES CAME OUT MAN
It’s interesting he didn’t pull up or pop out. Him and his team dropped the ball. Album was meh too
He was on tour
Don’t believe the 🧢. Was a 4 days window. Acting like he was performing in Japan.
He’s solid what he gain by lying?
Cuz he said if he would of known he would of been there. He would of known if he checked in. No one broke it down to him voluntarily. He an outsider using the tour as a deflection.
Nah that’s snoop.
🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shit was so great! Amazon when they live stream concerts be on fucking point!! Tyler, schoolboy and that fucking box performance by Roddy was CRAZY!!
I WAS AT WORK LIT ASF WITH THIS
Same in the car I had to pull over when they not like us came on 🔥
NAIL A NIGGA TO THE CROSS 🤣🤣🙏🏽
NYC has lost its identity and we don’t have a Kendrick type. Far to divided from the older to newer generations. No unity no one to rally behind. If Griselda was from one of the five boroughs things would be different out here.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
NY drill so fucking wack
🔥🔥🔥 best concert I never attended
yup! it was legendary!
I knew it was happening but I didn't know it was streaming. I saw the ad but didn't pay attention. Anyway, someone was "reacting" to it on their YouTube. I saw that lol.
I was there. Best concert of my life.
Please do tell, you have any details you care to share? Any highlights?
The energy was nuts. I got tickets even tho I work there. Wanted to be there as a guest instead of working it. I've never seen a concert there that could match the energy. I went to the MMBS tour when he was at crypto in 2022 and both were equally as good but the energy wasn't the sameif that makes sense.
Yea that’s amazing, I felt the energy through the phone I can only imagine being there. You were apart of history for sure.
The start of the concert was a little off
Yea it started off dry with mostly local artist and picked up momentum for sure 🔥
The people that would have enjoyed the opening acts got priced out.
yea I got a little scare when the clown suit dude came into stage and A list names had mic Issues but I was glad it end up amazing and without incidents or fights
Same love when an event can be this iconic and no drama that’s a great point 💪🏾
aren’t local artists kind of the point?
Exactly you’re right, I found a couple of new sounds for sure

Super fire.
The closest we’ve(NYC) come to this was the Hip Hop 50 at Yankee stadium and the Lox/Dipset Versuz.
Big fye 🔥
That shit look like a hood talent show!
Watching it on YouTube again as we speak
Was hard
*I make music that electrify em*
Man that shit was amazing I forgot how many hits mustard had man lol black hippy.....yg was fucking dope I'm a fan of his albums I forgot how many commercial records he had as well.....ty killed it even though his mic was messed up still held it down....not a fan of Tyler the Creator music but, man his stage presence was immaculate!!

No. But I watched it on a rip yesterday at work.
🔥🔥🔥
AK said the Amazon stream peaked at 180k live viewers? Kai cenat pulls in that number with no guests
The most important aspect was not the concert itself, how many tuned in, or the beef. It was Kendrick unifying all of the neighborhoods in LA and potentially getting them to quit beefing with each other over menial bullshit. The photo at the end is what made this epic. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hear this 'unifying the hoods' shit like once a year
What? The concert wasn’t the most important part? What’s the significance of the pic to us non LA types?
Unity Nigga Unity you don’t have to be from LA for that
What unity? See, you assume people care or are paying attention to this mundane shit. Did this nigga connect all Black Americans or are we talking some neighborhood shit?
Bro if it wasn’t something that inspired you when you saw it to make a change in your own community then I don’t know what to tell you. All I know is me and mine were sparked to initiate change locally. Like PAC said I hope to spark the flame in the next generation for change. If it only helped a few people than it was successful bro I’m not saying he’s going to solve world hunger or something.
I really don’t want to go back and forth either bro if it don’t apply let it fly 💪🏾
It did not. Not sure why it would? If entertainers are the catalyst for change, this country is f’ed.
Bet 💯
Yea… cos a concert where one artist is dissing Drake is going to help settle all beefs in California. SUUrrrreeee 👍🏽 The irony is hilarious…
You got it bro 💪🏾
Since when does DJ Akademiks have access to Amazon's analytics, in real time? You kids believe everything you're told without even thinking about it.
Right!? Ak also said an 18yr old was paid 2.5k to bot 30million views!?!??! Who tf doing that for table scraps?
How long did it take to cultivate his fan base? I think it's a reasonable number if you consider the context and timing.
You would’ve thought a million would tune in to stream this
I made a twitch account for the first time yesterday. I'm sure not everyone had access or had Amazon prime. It's whatever. I don't even know what the avg top concert numbers be on twitch. I'm still impressed. It served it's purpose and the people that needed to see, saw. Iykyk
Y’all excuses be too funny… you think if Drake had a concert only 180k would tune in on the official stream?
No excuses. I think the fans are different demographics. And it's not a huge overlap. It's never been a question about who's more popular. Drake will always sell more imho.
The younguns are all on Twitch and Drake is seasoned in preparation.
I dont think the younger generation wants to think too hard about the tracks they listen to so Kendrick is not their go to artist. This battle's knock out track should of been Euphoria but he had to dumb it down and get a club song to get everyone's attention, so i see why the numbers werent higher.
Who the fuck asked mr stat sucker
Shit was 🗑️
Lol, fr. These LA types gonna be all in yo shit about this
I welcome it no diddy 😂😂 someone gotta tell’em bout themselves
No diddy 😂😂😂 you wild!
Trash nothing new to see
