Kendrick Lamar Brings Drake Beef To Fever Pitch With Juneteenth Concert In Los Angeles
HuffPost
The rapper performed at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles for his Pop Out event, where thousands were rapping along to his diss track “Not Like Us.”
The Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef has officially landed in new and uncharted territory.
The hip-hop feud reached a fever pitch Wednesday in Los Angeles when Lamar, the hometown hero of South Central, hosted a celebratory Juneteenth concert titled The Pop Out: Ken & Friends at the Kia Forum. At the concert, he performed his Billboard-charting Drake diss “Not Like Us” five times in a row.
Thousands rapped along as Lamar spit his fiery verses onstage at the star-studded affair, which was live-streamed on Amazon. The concert event also included guests Tyler, the Creator and YG. NBA stars Russell Westbrook and LeBron James, as well as singer The Weeknd, were in the crowd as Lamar brought dozens of rival gang members onstage.
“This shit gets me emotional, dog,” he told the crowd. “We done lost a lot of homies to this music shit, lot of homies to some street shit, and for all of us to be on this stage together; unity from each side of motherfucking L.A., crips, bloods, pirus — this shit is special, man.
The beef between the two hip-hip titans kicked off in March when the rappers directly engaged each other on wax after years of subtle shots. Lamar fans would note that his “Not Like Us” is already hip-hop’s unofficial summer anthem.
