Watch Kendrick Lamar deliver powerful speech during NYC show.
Kendrick Lamar’s Kunta’s Groove Sessions Tour — which might be the first and last time fans get to see To Pimp a Butterfly in concert — concludes in Oakland tomorrow night, but we can’t let this clip from his recent stop in NYC go amiss. “Morphing from rapper to preacher,” King Kendrick took a moment for himself and his fans during his intimate set at Terminal 5 last Monday (November 3).
The Top Dawg’s powerful speech was received with nothing but love from the crowd as he thanked his “day one” fans for supporting TPAB while stressing the importance of music’s emotional impact over its commercial success. “Music is not something that you can motherfucking market all the time,” he said. “This shit belong to you and you only. Some shit that y’all can feel whether you insecure, vulnerable, mad, happy, angry, sad. You pop this motherfucking tape in, and you love and you live this shit.”
