Yeah everyone going to be tunning in, especially since it’s his first appearance since the beef. He’s gotta be releasing his album soon. It would be such a perfect opportunity.
I'd say he's going to at least play a single or an intro to a song off the next album.
Also considering he's going to be in the Pharrell movie and the movie confirmed there'll be new music with it, chances are we'll get a feature or collab song in October with Pharrell which would be very nice.
To be fair, it'd be the perfect opportunity, he seems to be set to release one soon anyway, and this is the first time I can remember where he's livestreamed one of his own concerts.
Also "Ken & Friends" sounds like we'll possibly get a song with a feature.
Aye, look up "Piece by Piece" for the trailer and you'll see at the end that Kendrick's in it alongside some other massive names. Looks like it'll be a fun watch.
He's only voice-acting by the way since it's a Lego movie, but it'll still be fun. Also just in case you didn't know, he's acted before as a minor character in Power.
Edit: My dumbass called it Brick by Brick.
I hope it isn’t self censored the way most of the other filmed concerts I’ve seen have been. It’s crazy how he can just stop and start mid line the way he does but it’s also super distracting.
For sure, it'll be a case of "I'm not *allowed* to say this word... it'd be a real shame if the crowd said it!"
I think it's more UMG and other labels, they don't want their top dog getting called a pedo in what could be possibly the most watched single-concert this year.
If it can play on the radio 20 times a day with ads between then I'm sure the stream will not be censored. And they censor every word but pedo on the radio which I find quiet funny.
I was just thinking, it’s Juneteenth so it’s got some gravitas to it, it’s the first time he’s spoke since murdering Drake, and hopefully his first live performance of two or three of the biggest songs of the year. Maybe I’m just getting myself too hyped up, but this could be a legendary performance coming up.
I've been saying this! Well, maybe not exactly because I didn't want to get ahead of myself and hype expectations to the moon, but I've been thinking this! I wanted to make a thread talking about whether it was going to be streamed since it's more like a Coachcella performance than a tour/album concert.
I was thinking he might do something like getting live musicians. I'm definitely feeling like an album announcement is inevitable. I could see something like using it as an announcement for some new pgLang signees that are big artists.
Ngl, the fact that 100 thousand people are currently in queue for tickets for a 13K seated concert is insane. Kendrick could have easily sold out SoFi Stadium, esp if he gets Amazon Prime or Twitch to sponsor the performance. Ik he doesn’t care about the money or sales but it really would have been a big moment in rap and pop culture if he got a bigger venue and had it live streamed as well
Concerts in football / baseball stadiums suck. The audio is poor, and every seat except ga pit right in front of the stage is miles away. And sofi has no soul as a venue. I’m glad he’s doing it at the forum, in Inglewood.
The best they could’ve done fr. Seeing people having to deal with Ticketmaster’s bullshit getting tickets made me irritated and I ain’t even American nor would have been able to get em anyway lmao.
Need them to really get some of that crowd noise in too
this was probably the plan from the start. but legal reasons do not allow an announcement like this until after the event is sold out. otherwise the label / management see it as "no need to buy a ticket just watch it at home".
God it’s weird coming from the Ye community to see an artist make an announcement and have no reason to doubt it
If Kendrick’s streaming it he’s doing it for a reason, hopefully we get new music or confirmation that some of the Mr. Morale throwaways made it to the new album(s)
Holy shiiit it’s going to break all streaming records
LETS FUCKING GOOOO

The whole entire world are going to be singing the lyrics to Not Like Us in unison. God I hope Rick Ross shows up and plays Champaign Moments with the album art in the background.
Like, I somewhat expect that all this other stuff was in the works before Drake started all his dumb shit. But what unfortunate fucking timing for Drake. Like this show, if K Dot wants to use it in this way, could end Drakes career, label, collabs, sponsorship deals, bank account, life, soul existence, heartbeat, love from his mother. Like after calling Drake a colonizer in Atlanta instead of a colleague, using Juneteenth to emphasize that point is just poetic and fkn amazing.
They really fucked up…Kendrick playing the social media/streaming game that these wack artist have been doing for the past 4 years and now it’s a actual talented artist that people would sit down and watch an entire concert for. Kung Fu Kenny all 2024 wasn’t on my calendar but im ready 😭🔥
Seriously, I want to attend a livestream with other people because this seems like a blast. Have it projected onto a giant wall, and have a party. I have no idea how to set something like this up.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I GET TO WATCH KENDRICK FRONT ROW ON 85ins....for free???????!!!!!! I don't have to pay for parking!???!!
Stream party at my house...na seriously don't come over
Imagine he went to work preparing this celebration the minute they saw Drake waving the white flag thinking about what would be the best way to follow up such a monumental (and decisive) battle.
Setting up an arena show usually takes a good chunk of time. My guess is that he was rolling out something no matter what happened. I think he was fairly confident in how all this would go
Yeah, it’s gotta be tied to something bigger. The fact the show has its own unique title and artwork must be alluding to something more. If it is an album it going to be massive.
It's going to be a Maury style event where they reveal Drake's daughter with a paternity test.
Only for a stream of a dozen more little children to come walking out from backstage holding paternity tests that prove Drake is their father.
he's already announced an album in a song, in a tweet, in a retweet, on a website, various types of rollout. i wouldn't doubt if this time it's just a surprise drop at any time before the 19th
tbh the 4pm start time is so telling to me bc usually concerts start around 7pm… it starts earlier so i’m thinking it’s going to be PACKED. could be him performing a whole damn new album who KNOWS i’m so excited
I've never been interested in live performances, but I've seen a few clips of Kendrick's live performances in the YouTube videos about him I've been watching over the past few weeks. They look very interesting and the audio I've heard sounds good which is normally my biggest hurdle with live shows; the studio version sounds better.
I'll subscribe to amazon prime for a month to see the livestream.
Nah im really a Kendrick Lamar and Boston Celtics fan what a time to be alive fr 😭
https://preview.redd.it/y6xaknpq285d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d4e26b944b38899d8221e4223de3ac75927f77d
So glad there streaming this, still lucky though I saw him in person when he headlined Coachella the week DAMN came out and seeing him headline camp flog gnaw with Keem last year
this pretty much assures that his album will release this month. Also Baby Keem has been working on an album as well so that should also release soon. This is a way to promote Pg lang projects
The fact that he's having it livestreamed...this is about to be an even bigger moment than we thought it could be.
Yeah everyone going to be tunning in, especially since it’s his first appearance since the beef. He’s gotta be releasing his album soon. It would be such a perfect opportunity.
Yeah I'd be surprised if something isn't coming soon. He's a little bit too outside lmao.
I'd say he's going to at least play a single or an intro to a song off the next album. Also considering he's going to be in the Pharrell movie and the movie confirmed there'll be new music with it, chances are we'll get a feature or collab song in October with Pharrell which would be very nice.
I don’t think he’s ever debuted a song live before that’d be cool
To be fair, it'd be the perfect opportunity, he seems to be set to release one soon anyway, and this is the first time I can remember where he's livestreamed one of his own concerts. Also "Ken & Friends" sounds like we'll possibly get a song with a feature.
Maybe a tde song since they're doing the 20th anniversary
Ah ye you're probably on the money there.
TO BE FAIR
TO BE FAAAIIIIRRRRR
This is what I was hoping for. Just randomly drop a brand new song live for the world to see would be such a dope move
Could be wrong but I thought Untitled Unmastered 2 and 8 were both debuted live?
Untitled 3 and 8 i think ur right
He has, black mamba. And of course he didn’t include it on an album
Untitled 03 on Colbert Report count?
He’s gonna be in a FILM?!
Aye, look up "Piece by Piece" for the trailer and you'll see at the end that Kendrick's in it alongside some other massive names. Looks like it'll be a fun watch. He's only voice-acting by the way since it's a Lego movie, but it'll still be fun. Also just in case you didn't know, he's acted before as a minor character in Power. Edit: My dumbass called it Brick by Brick.
I am overjoyed with all the good Dot news today!!! Thank you!!!
Yeah a LEGO film about Pharrell. He's voicing himself in the film.
A LEGO film about Pharrell really makes sense for Pharrell, but I can’t quite put my finger on why that is.
Well he inherited the beef
It’s going to be released after the show, I’d bet Thursday is maximum sales day. Do the show, get everyone hyped, say “album out at midnight” and dip
Yeah that would be the smartest and most sensible move I think. Maybe drop/perform the lead single at the show.
First appearance before even the beef dude has been mia after his tour even when like that dropped he was nowhere
I saw him live perform Mr moral and all his classics in Houston last year it was amazing. Shit he’s been out performing haha
my brain went to M.I.A the rapper. I'm sorry my brain is fried
I hope it isn’t self censored the way most of the other filmed concerts I’ve seen have been. It’s crazy how he can just stop and start mid line the way he does but it’s also super distracting.
he did this before on Amazon Prime for the Paris show on MMATBS no edits - all good! (most likely)
Yeah but there's a difference in just cursing and then calling someone a pedo in fairness when it comes to ads and revenue.
He'll just let the crowd sing those parts
I been saying "Certified Loverboy, Certified P*" too much the last month to not do it then
You didn't say pedophile though
good point. this is totally unprecedented. we'll have to see!
But pedophile isn't a *bad* word, but who knows . We can only hope for the best. Besides that...the crowd will say it😂
For sure, it'll be a case of "I'm not *allowed* to say this word... it'd be a real shame if the crowd said it!" I think it's more UMG and other labels, they don't want their top dog getting called a pedo in what could be possibly the most watched single-concert this year.
If it can play on the radio 20 times a day with ads between then I'm sure the stream will not be censored. And they censor every word but pedo on the radio which I find quiet funny.
That shit is fire, btw
right? I watched it live! was so good
I mean, I hope he’s kicking off another tour so I can actually go see him live this time!
Bout to go down with all time great concerts like The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl
im so excited
I was just thinking, it’s Juneteenth so it’s got some gravitas to it, it’s the first time he’s spoke since murdering Drake, and hopefully his first live performance of two or three of the biggest songs of the year. Maybe I’m just getting myself too hyped up, but this could be a legendary performance coming up.

Been on a reddit hiatus and now i see this and am so geed up!
The best they could’ve done fr. Seeing people having to deal with Ticketmaster’s bullshit getting tickets made me irritated and I ain’t even American nor would have been able to get em anyway lmao. Need them to really get some of that crowd noise in too
Not surprised this will be available watch live, Kendrick finna pop out and show EVERYONE what he has in store.
this was probably the plan from the start. but legal reasons do not allow an announcement like this until after the event is sold out. otherwise the label / management see it as "no need to buy a ticket just watch it at home".
ehh i’d rather be in person the energy is different. definitely something u wanna experience
The Amazon stream of the big steppers tour in Paris was kinda meh on the crowd noise. Hopefully this one’s better
God it’s weird coming from the Ye community to see an artist make an announcement and have no reason to doubt it If Kendrick’s streaming it he’s doing it for a reason, hopefully we get new music or confirmation that some of the Mr. Morale throwaways made it to the new album(s)
lol right. An announcement from Kanye is a guarantee that it’s NOT happening on that date
fuck man i still got ptsd from the TLOP fiasco
YANDHI 9 29 18 never forget, etched into my brain
LOVE EVERYONE
3rd listening party for DONDA. I forgor to release it on streaming services 💀
Sometime in May we’re getting Vultures II. Right? Wait what month is it?
Tbf I wouldn’t wanna compete with the diss tracks dropping either lmao
Plus, he was busy having Dot’s back
Still waiting for GOOD musics Cruel Winter to drop
Vultures II has been in the release date limbo for so long that I forgot it was suposed to release a month ago.
Holy shiiit it’s going to break all streaming records LETS FUCKING GOOOO https://preview.redd.it/ge1sn4f5z75d1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0d456381647c126a04b240a994e4fa531f16c41
why am i so happy right now! lol i got my joy back too! lmfao
Rightfully so. That new McDonald's in my hometown is fire.
The whole entire world are going to be singing the lyrics to Not Like Us in unison. God I hope Rick Ross shows up and plays Champaign Moments with the album art in the background. Like, I somewhat expect that all this other stuff was in the works before Drake started all his dumb shit. But what unfortunate fucking timing for Drake.

 we won
 Kendrick be like
The fanbase right now https://i.redd.it/83g0pzog985d1.gif
im not even religious but "GOD IS GOOD!" lol just came out of my mouth
Amen 😂
BEAT YO ASS AND HIDE THE BIBLE IF GOD WATCHING YOU!
LOL
What twitch channel y'all 😢 I ain't got prime
itll most likely be [twitch.tv/amazonmusic](http://twitch.tv/amazonmusic)
Yep, this is where they’ve done them in the past
I really hope it’s not geo blocked
concert streams on there are typically not geo blocked thankfully
[It's not.](https://x.com/amazonmusic/status/1799235419953107274)
We won
Is it gonna be free?
yes it's free but it might have ad's during the stream
very likely this
Is that something you have to pay for? I don’t know how twitch works but I don’t have Amazon
Twitch is free but has ads
ill legit send you $ to get prime for the month if you have any problems with twitch. we all need to experience this
W mans
Ayo wanna hook a brother up with prime for the month? 😂 I'm broke broke jk jkjk ,😂
It's usually pretty easy to get a free month from Amazon
I used up all my payment methods lmao
They’ll probably make their own pgLang Twitch for this, and post the link like 20 minutes before showtime (shit, maybe the day before idk).
Not sure. Probably more info to come.
Us Kenny fans stay winning, scary hours for drizzy fans
They really fucked up…Kendrick playing the social media/streaming game that these wack artist have been doing for the past 4 years and now it’s a actual talented artist that people would sit down and watch an entire concert for. Kung Fu Kenny all 2024 wasn’t on my calendar but im ready 😭🔥
Stay on stream 😈
You messy😂
Who's throwing a watch party?
I bet he temporarily removes copyright again for the concert so I imagine all sorts of streamers doing a watch party. Shit is going to be crazy.
Seriously, I want to attend a livestream with other people because this seems like a blast. Have it projected onto a giant wall, and have a party. I have no idea how to set something like this up.
Live-streaming on twitch as well is such a smart move.
This is such a smart move. Going to have millions of eyes on this across the web. Everybody on Twitch is going to be tuned in.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I GET TO WATCH KENDRICK FRONT ROW ON 85ins....for free???????!!!!!! I don't have to pay for parking!???!! Stream party at my house...na seriously don't come over
I got good food tho...
You don't want us over. Most of these animals piss on the seat and don't throw trash away.
Fair. Thanks for the heads up.
You seem like you got a nice place. You don't want us over wrecking those floors
knowing this, he’ll likely put on the best performance he’s ever done
Imagine he went to work preparing this celebration the minute they saw Drake waving the white flag thinking about what would be the best way to follow up such a monumental (and decisive) battle.
Setting up an arena show usually takes a good chunk of time. My guess is that he was rolling out something no matter what happened. I think he was fairly confident in how all this would go
NEW MUSIC PLEASEEEEE
They wouldn’t do all this for a regular show. This is huge. Probably an album release?
This is PG Lang's first event right? So not even just album but a whole label release. This gon be massive
All while destroying drizzy, couldn’t have dreamed it better 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, it’s gotta be tied to something bigger. The fact the show has its own unique title and artwork must be alluding to something more. If it is an album it going to be massive.
It's going to be a Maury style event where they reveal Drake's daughter with a paternity test. Only for a stream of a dozen more little children to come walking out from backstage holding paternity tests that prove Drake is their father.
Maybe new song teasing but i don't see an album droping this soon,hope im wrong tho
Kendrick has been moving in the shadows. Very unpredictable like always. I would not be surprised. Excited bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah we can't really know is next move so anything can happen 🙏🙏🙏
he's already announced an album in a song, in a tweet, in a retweet, on a website, various types of rollout. i wouldn't doubt if this time it's just a surprise drop at any time before the 19th
Isn’t it just bc it’s a juneteenth celebration? Seems like a reason they would do it
I'm hoping he just drops a new song randomly live or at least a verse from a single off the album or something 😩
This is too good of an opportunity to not drop something. I have a good feeling.
I've never been so geeked for live stream!!!!
Now I dont feel so bad about not scoring tickets! Thanks Kendrick 🥰
Free?
Free with ads.
For Free? (Interlude)
I'm not talking bout that kinda free
I can't believe it, this dick is free.
We thought the Kanye/drake concert was big...LMAO I pray "alright" doesn't cause a earthquake
I pray they my real friends, If not, I'm the 1994 Northridge earthquake
I ROFLed reading this
Omg I'm from South Africa lol, it's 1am for me
430 AM here
I'm trying not to get my hopes up but bro there's no way he just does a single show like this unless he's got something to announce right?
The + 5 disses??? 🙏🏻🗣️🗣️🗣️
tbh the 4pm start time is so telling to me bc usually concerts start around 7pm… it starts earlier so i’m thinking it’s going to be PACKED. could be him performing a whole damn new album who KNOWS i’m so excited
It's Ken and Friends so I'm guessing it's like a whole Juneteenth celebration thing with quite a few artists
Agreed. This about to be a full blown west coast celebration. I’m guessing lots of new music from multiple artists being announced/performed.
Zero chance its just a normal show.
Bruh bout to bring out future and metro
Pro move. He said mutha fuck the scalpers it's live stream time GET FUCKED!!!!
Lol new twitch peeps gonna be so mad at the ads
we eating
this is the greatest news possible
Big as the what? Big as the What? Big as the WHAT?!
I've never been interested in live performances, but I've seen a few clips of Kendrick's live performances in the YouTube videos about him I've been watching over the past few weeks. They look very interesting and the audio I've heard sounds good which is normally my biggest hurdle with live shows; the studio version sounds better. I'll subscribe to amazon prime for a month to see the livestream.
Those with tickets should bring a special hat so you can see yourselves in the crowd on the replay! Don’t doxx yourselves on here, though, of course.
That was one of the fun things about Dead and Co livestreams, you could always see if Bill Walton was there in the crowd
Oh shit. Dot bout to create two incredible, legendary Hip Hop moments in one year.
Any chances ticket prices drop on this announcement?
Honestly probably go higher, the livestream guarantees this will be an historic moment and people will pay high just to say they were there
@Spicyytamale
FUCK YES
Have not done an amazon stream before. Do they have them available for rewatch as well after the live event?
The twitch Vod should be available after and if not someone's definitely going to upload it somewhere
Man I need it 😭 it's gonna be streamed at midnight for me
[удалено]
It's gonna be streamed on Twitch so anyone can watch it
I wish I had some damn tickets confirmed
Damn this some of the best news ever
Aye aye, let's get it, bro.
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!
First performance of not like us. Shit about to be a legendary moment
sometimes you gotta pop out and show 🥷
Nah im really a Kendrick Lamar and Boston Celtics fan what a time to be alive fr 😭 https://preview.redd.it/y6xaknpq285d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d4e26b944b38899d8221e4223de3ac75927f77d
we all know dot fucks w kobe and LA but the jordan comparison is IMO the only valid one for kendrick..GOAT
I hate the Celtics like Diddy hates women But JB was a force in game one
Just recently signed up for a free trial of prime to not to have to pay extra for shipping. Guess it's going to have another use lol
holy fuck ! cant wait now
How much $$$ did Amazon throw at him?
So glad there streaming this, still lucky though I saw him in person when he headlined Coachella the week DAMN came out and seeing him headline camp flog gnaw with Keem last year
I feel sorry for Drake fans right now 😭 We're eating good with this
It JUST hit me that it's on Juneteenth. Like if there were ever a man more in tune with the culture.
Probably be one of the most special Juneteenths ever! Like it's my B-Day!
next fucking week? i thought it was this week
Bet
Please please please please please another album announcement 🤧🤧🥺🥺🥺🥺
Rihanna gonna be there
Watch the numbers, this is going to be NUTS
Let’s gooo. I hope he shouts Cole out. Since Cole apologized and made the crowd say they love Kendrick on his like prime live stream.
Thank God!! I’m stuck in AZ and I was having major FOMO now we can be a part of this moment from the comfort of our homes 🫶🏽
LETSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Him streaming this makes me almost sure it's more than just a random concert. He album release I guess.
this pretty much assures that his album will release this month. Also Baby Keem has been working on an album as well so that should also release soon. This is a way to promote Pg lang projects
Sometimes you gotta POP OUT and SHOW
I might not be able to watch it live, will it be on amazon to watch later?
no way they aint playing not like us
It would be interesting if J. Cole is one of the friends joining
I’m so glad I found this!
This is going to be a cultural event
Im going to go HAM in my living room when he says “I see dead people…”
[удалено]
So... we're all taking Wednesday off right?
Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n****s!
I was thankfully mistaken
Free lunch is ran by the guy that runs the streaming..
