      sort of.. the vocal track we're actually hearing is a playback of a recorded take from before the show went to air. still impressive nonetheless, but there are several parts where it is blatantly obvious that he is lip syncing to a pre-recorded track. and please understand that I say this with absolutely zero disrespect, I still find it to be super impressive because the vocal track is in fact a live recording. that is definitely not the studio vocal track. In the performance, Kendrick even seems to acknowledge it at about 3:07 when he flashes the message on the wall that says "YEA WE STILL PLAYING INDUSTRY POLITICS".

    Kendrick is one of the best hip hop live performers I’ve ever seen because not only does he say every word of his songs. But his performances are choreographed and have an artistic vision. Makes him stand out so much from a lot of rap artists who just hold the mic and shout (some of) their lyrics.

    Absolutely outstanding - lyrics, performance, and lighting/special effects. And all of that in a cubicle with a standing fan - live. The song is subtle, and the lyrics are far-reaching and profound - the shadow that moves while he is standing still, foreshadowing the layered lyrics that follow. Excellent in every way. Respect.
    I'm a 72-year-old white man, but I will always recognize and appreciate true art, in whatever form it presents itself. This was minimalistic and masterful - he does much more with less.
