11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: camped some some tickets to the Kendrick and Says a show.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Shout out to the good folks at cash app. We

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: picked the weekend in Vegas. We we were thinking about

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: the weekend before in l A and to come and

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: kick with y'all, but her niece had graduated that week

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: and so we couldn't missed that. So we all chose

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: the Vegas weekend. And you know, it's just this is

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: like our third time going to Vegas. We we love Vegas,

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. It's just a cool little

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: little wee can getaway spot for us, so you know,

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: and and the show was just just incredible. Just just

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: like like you know, John said that he came out

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: there thinking that Kenjick was the goat, and I get it, bro,

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: I get it because like I always said that Kendrick's

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: case for the goat is, we haven't seen a rapper

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: that checks all the boxes that he does, that checks

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: the boxes as far as you know popularity, you know,

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: is desography, you know, just straight up rapping and talent

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: and music making ability. And I think a box that

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: he checks that a whole lot of rappers, especially in

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: this era, don't check is live performance, right like it.

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the old guy here, but

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: it feels like the youngins today in rap, you know,

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: the generation that that that's after Kenjrick's generation, they don't

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: take pride in stage shows the way that, you know,

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: the way that like you know, the generations before them did.

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Right Like like I said before, one of the best

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: shows I went to in a while was a show

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: that that Common had in Norfolk at the Norfolk like

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: like last October or so, and and it feels like

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: it's a lost art with these youngins where they do

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: not just take pride in stage shows and Kinchrick, Bro,

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: It's like he the stage show was kind of modeled

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: in the same way like Beyonce stage show was where

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: every song had its moment, Every song had a different

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, mini film going on in the back. If

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: there were dancers, you know, there was different choreography. There

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: were different dancers for different songs. It just wasn't a

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: certain set group of dances that came out for you,

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, when there was choreography, it was like every

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: song had its own moment, you know what I mean,

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: which is something you don't see from a lot of rappers.

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: It's something that he put a lot of thought into.

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: Like I'm not going to give away too much of it,

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: but i'll you know, for folks who haven't seen it.

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: But his performance of DNA was where he had the

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: backshot of the camp coord of footage of him growing

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: up in the in the in the early nineties, right

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: like authentic footage of him is like an eight year

60
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: old on on a campcord, and you know, the song

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: is DNA talking about what he's made of?

62
00:02:59,639 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: What what?

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: What constant? Who he is? The person is and bro

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: the thought of that to dig and find that thirty

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: year old footage and to sync it up with that

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: song and that theme, Like, that's just the type of

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: of of care that is put into live performance that

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: we don't see a lot in rap anymore. And you

69
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And it goes back to like

70
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: what John said where he thinks he's the gold I'm like, bro,

71
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: I can understand why, because, like I said, we have

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a rapper who checks as many

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: boxes as Kendrick does. And that box that he checks

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: as far as live performance, I think he's the best

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: performer in rap right now. And he's for sure got

76
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: that going for him there. So I was just absolutely

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: blown away. It's the best rap concert I've ever been to.

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: And shout out to Scissa too. Sissa was incredible. I

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: came in there having my speculations about Sissa. I love Sissa.

80
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: I think she is the the the top chick in

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: the R and B game. I think she's she's been

82
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: on the throne since Control. I think Controlling SOS back

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: to back is as good as as a run that

84
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: we've seen from any artists and in regards to back

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: to back albums. But I had concerns about my girl

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: because she sings in italics a bit. I didn't know

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: if she had.

88
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Said, you didn't know if she had arena voice.

89
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't know she had arena but but but

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: she held her own. She held her own and she

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: she and the same thing with her, like there was

92
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: so much thought put into her performance there as well.

93
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, and and and the way that that the

94
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: concert was structured. It wasn't like Kendrick did his fifteen

95
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: songs set since did her fifteen songs set me? And

96
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: it was like they wove in and out of each

97
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 2: other so much cool, right, like yeah, yeah, Like Kendrick

98
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: would do four songs here, Sissy would do four songs here.

99
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: They they do a song where they collaborated, and then

100
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: Kendrick would do of another four songs and then you know,

101
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: of course you know the grand finale they performed together

102
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: where they did Luther together. It was just it was

103
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: it was incredible, bro, it was it was incredible. It's

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: the best rap show I've ever been to. And like

105
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: I said, I completely understand John or anyone coming out

106
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: of there saying Kendrick is the best to ever do

107
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: this ship
