Kendrick Lamar Performs “Not Like Us” at The Pop Out – Ken & Friends Concert
On Wednesday (June 19), Kendrick grabbed the mic for the Drake diss track “Not Like Us” during his Pop Out – Ken & Friends Concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. He performed the diss multiple times. During his highly anticipated show, Kendrick started off the concert by choosing violence with the Drake diss “Euphoria.” He even switched up a line to diss Drake again. He followed that up with “DNA” before rolling into “Element,” “Alright,” “Swimming Pools” and “Money Trees” with Jay Rock.
After bringing out Ab-Soul, K-Dot performed the first verse of his Drake diss “6:16 in LA” then immediately tagged in ScHoolboy Q who performed “Collard Greens.”
Following the Black Hippy reunion, Kendrick got back into solo tracks including “Backseat Freestyle,” before getting back on demon time with his “Like That” verse. Next, Kendrick brought out the legendary Dr. Dre, who performed “Still D.R.E” and “California Love.” Dr. Dre signed K-Dot to his label, Aftermath Entertainment, in 2012.
Right after that song, Kendrick performed “Not Like Us” following an introduction by Dre. Kenny didn’t just perform it once. He performed it five times to the delight of the pro-Cali crowd.
The electrifying show comes after Kendrick announced The Pop Out – Ken & Friends Concert on June 6. The show marks K-Dot’s first live performance since he and Drake traded numerous diss tracks in May.
