King Kendrick....

After a long awaited few  months KENDRICK LAMAR finally began his first uk tour, and what a show he put on! Friday 18th saw him perform at Birmingham's HMV Institute

User submitted photoThe gig was fuckin insane,and we as his fans raved it up!
It was like every single person n the place were all hardcore fans more time it was the crowd performing his songs lyric for lyric.
The crowd were on there scruface-skank,which was definitely fitting with the impeccable systems HMV have. The place got hype quick.

With performances of songs from his album Good Kid,M.A.A.D City ( The Art of Peer Pressure (Intro),Money Trees
Backseat Freestyle .Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe ,Poetic Justice,The Recipe,m.A.A.d city ,Swimming Pools (Drank). As well as songs from his critically exclaimed digital albums O.verly D.edicated & Section 80 like P&P , Hol'' Up, Tammys Song and A.D.H.D- the set list was on point.

Unfortunately for me, and probably many other fans that night, He didn't perform ''Compton'' which i had be highly anticipating, that being said that was my only issue but you cant have everything can ya !

Kendrick Lamar "good kid, m.A.A.d city" Tracklist, Cover Art & Production Credits

The concept album follows the story of a young Lamar growing up in Compton, California, while including skits at the end of several tracks that relate to the story of the album. It is referred to as a "short film by Kendrick Lamar" on the album cover. The album's concept narrates a teenage Kendrick borrowing his mother's van to visit a girl named Sherane and experiencing the Compton gang lifestyle with his friends, then entering reality after the death of a friend during a shoot-out









Section.80 is a concept album that revolves around the life of Tammy and Keisha and it explains their personal hardships in their lives. "Tammy's Song (Her Evils)" revolves around two girls cheating on their boyfriends after discovering they were unfaithful, and eventually sleeping with each other because they can't trust men. "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)" is about a prostitute who seeks comfort and control, only to her demise. Lamar explains that Section.80 is for people born in the 1980s until now.







Although King .K smashed it, his support acts really baffled me. I'm all for upcoming artists but without a doubt Rascals were not the right vibe, and god they got much more stage time than they should of had.

 
These guys couldn't get a staffy hype!
These guys should of came out done 2 songs then left! but instead they performed ,i duno how many tunes but it was to much. it resulted in them being boo'ed and being left hanging when everyone refused to ''put ya hands up'' - it was just plain embarrassing. But yeah, good luck an all that guys but stick to ur target audience
