It's just the way it is, I'm obviously not an expert on this but it's an attempt to improve their ratings and garner a wider audience.

Children are easy to captivate, you can get them to watch anything. Kinda fucked up but it's the truth.
+Jay Dub What in the Entire Fuck are you talkin bout??? This performance wasn't even about Hip Hop kendrick performin with a Band was straight up Musical, This is close to Spoken Word...What's more hip Hop than that??

+Nd Oheri proves you're either a dumbass or you can't understand what a non comparison is because they're two completely different types of artist. Its a matter of preference, its about what you're into or in the mood for. For instance, sometimes I'm in the mood for Kendrick music and sometimes I'm in the mood for Drake's. Both are tremendous artist.
This is peak perfection. The band is locked. Everyone onstage is matching his intensity without stepping on toes. Kendrick is a genius and this is proof.
Kendrick just has another energy when he's performing on stage. Kind of reminds me Jimi Hendrix whenever he was on stage. If you know how Hendrix was on stage then you know what I'm talking about.
Kendrick, Jimi, Prince, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Marvin Gaye… Yup. I think Kendrick is on those other artists level creatively and talent-wise. We're looking at an actual legend in the making right now.
Man i can't get over the actual music… the chord progressions grooves and everything. All the hits, new live written stops and all the gospel chops. These musos are killing it. Soooooo good to hear this LIVE. Hearing electronic shit taken to a live breathing human level is where it should ALYWAS be at.
This era of Kendrick and this band is the shit. To me is so much better then DAMN. These musicians are insane. Thats what hip-hop needs now. And Im a Metal head.
One of them is Thundercat. A known artist who works with kendrick heavily. He's got a lot of "wah" to his bass so it's needed in certain songs that only Thundercat can really pull off cause he's got his own crazy bass licks
When you get the exposure and the acclaim that he gets you're bound to get called overrated. Name something that is universally loved by the majority of people that hasn't been called overrated.
Well, as a guy with a Medicare card, I'm not the ideal demographic for this music. That said, I find this video mesmerizing. You can see the passion and intelligence in this artist's eyes. A tremendous talent.

Don't understand how people consider Drake is in the same stratosphere as this guy EDIT: I came back to this video a couple years later and saw this comment blew up Lmao. Thankful you guys see it the way I do
The album is produced in such a way that you can´t really feel the band as a whole so when you watch the live performance is a completely different experience, both awesome but you actually look forward for live performances. If Kendrick keeps this up he will be the greatest rapper of all times.
6 years later..... Today, TPAB has a substantive, fact based argument as one of, if not THE greatest album of all time. It's surpassed my personal favorites in the past year or so. (Blueprint 1 was previously the "newest addition", so it's not an easy top 5 to crack). This album belongs next to those we historically cherish, whether its "Songs in the Key of Life" or Led Zeppelin's debut album. Or Abbey Road. And that's all while still digesting the complexities, and most honest/personal body of work that he's released, in Mr. Morale. I don't think most appreciate how fortunate we are to witness this era. He's on a short list for G.O.A.T. already, and might even have an argument at this point, after the Pulitzer. The jury is probably still out, there. Play TPAB and Mr. Morale back to back. It really feels like a great follow up when put next to one another. But damn this video makes me miss the TPAB era of Kendrick. Especially in his live show.
@@addisonshinedown Especially with how many times I’ve listened to this album and I’m still learning things about it I never saw before on earlier listens. It’s just a real experience.
Lamar's work sounds to me like the beginning of a whole new category of hip-hop that doesn't have a name yet. I wouldn't be surprised to hear him called a "founder" of something 10 years from now. Whether you like him or not, you've got to admit that he's very musically ambitious. He knows his roots, but he's cutting a new path. Respect. His free form timing has deep roots in jazz, and there's a little bit of experimental avant-garde art music spliced in. Those two are part of what's now considered "high culture," whereas rap is thought to be low. He's showing that they can be mixed and come out as art that is both popular and sophisticated. No small feat there. The foundation that Nicki Minaj is tearing down on one side, Kendrick Lamar is building upon on another.
Dope man. As always the most thought out and sophisticated opinion is rarely noticed (your comment ) - but hey kendrick is getting love even if people see the beauty barely past the surface
+Sancho Quixote Great assessment. I've never been a big fan of rap and hip hop, but I am enamored by Kendrick's music and performance style. Perhaps this is the new creative genre that you speak of, which is very attractive to music and performance artists, and fans of all styles & categories of art. Kendrick is a Gemini, like me, & obviously highly creative. A true artist!
His live performance are insane. You can tell he lives and breathes every single part of his music. The passion and feel in his music is so well translated by his powerful stage presence.
Xavier Jarnaki clearly. Given how tight his braids are while they are clean its is actually painful, when first done/tightened. Hence "his braids make my head hurt." I'm guessing u tried to make a jab with the Drake= butthurt but since you failed to understand why he made his post it falls flat.
I swear it is just another level performed by King Kendrick Lamar. I'll say this again and again he is the best rapper of hip-hop history. He is the genius
Whenever I want to reassure myself that modern music is not hopeless, I go back to this video. Kendrick and his team reinvigorated the genre of hip-hop by fusing it with other historically African-American genres of the past century, improvisation and the often omittef integrity of its message. TPAB is amazing on its own but these live renditions are add a whole new layer of awesomeness.
@@davidgoldman3236 what I mean about that is what @friendly Pup just alluded too, he knows how to construct his argument and knows what his talking about. That's what I mean by solid because even if I think differently from what he thinks about certain topics I can't disregard that he can at least make some sense because of those two pints I mentioned above.
No matter what you think of K-dot you've gotta appreciate this. He cares so much about what he's doing and doesn't waste any creativity. Just another reason why he's my favourite artist of all time.
These motherfuckers make it so hard to find Kendrick Lamar’s 2016 performances.... at least his SNL one isn’t hard to find but still this shit right here??? Elevated Kendrick Lamar to another stratosphere as an artist. That’s why I appreciate TPAB so much. He took his performances, videos, and artistry to a new level.
Pete the Pirate definitely not. TPAB is his greatest project to date. But DAMN tells another great story about staying true to yourself throughout all the fam and fortune. This man is on another level of greatness
After tpab I've been hearing a lot of artists doing the funk/jazz/soul/hiphop fusion music, I think Kendrick might've unintentionally made a new genre of hiphop
Let's see: Anderson Paak, Childish Gambino's new album, and... what else? David Bowie's Blackstar has a slight TPAB influene tho.. There's nothing else really that sounds like TPAB, but I think that will change in the future let that album live and breathe for a while. Btw, Chance doesn't count for me he's been making this kind of sound (or a similar sound) since Acid Rap which came out 2013
Kendrick's band need a name of their own, the TPAB tour should be presented by "Kendrick Lamar and the..........................butterflies?" (jk, but they really should get a name)
Chaos is a ladder. Oh cool, I found the name of the band as "Wesley theory", the Wesleys is funnier xD...to bad that Anna Wise, Bilal and Thundercat weren't in the tour band (at least for what it looked like)
Kendrick Lamar, respect for a true artist. He has the intelligence, creativity, open mind, wit, sensitivity, musical genious, and bad ass attitude to make u feel what's real in a way that hits u hard and u don't forget
his live performances went from low key underwhelming to just incredibly amazing and that just shows you that nothing won't stop this man, he just keeps getting better and better;
I mean damn what more can I say Just Compton n general is winning they got King Kendrick Lamar on top of the rap game right now Serena Willams is destroying everybody N tennis she's the GOAT,DR Dre is a billionaire lol Straight Outta Compton the is the one movie right now wit over 160 million sales smh The Game bout drop documentary 2 next month..N last but not least Suge Knight is off the streets 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 Compton for the win lol
Wesley's Theory is slept on
Sgt Pepper big facts.
Could be my favorite Kenny song, such a Great structure

nobody sleep on dat bro
I don't know if it's slept on, but it's a great opening track to the album expressing one of the themes of the album. His creativity with his voice and sampling really shines in it.
The pauses on Momma are so chilling when it cuts to total silence.. wasn't prepared for that!
Shabazzi when your streaming and the song is loading
it is truly amazing
Every time he paused, I automatically started saying, "Wes wes wes.."
same Lol
what does that mean?

Is just another level of creativity with Kendrick, and he live performances are simply on another level.

this is on bitches brew miles Davis level nobody is touching this
Check out Stormzy at Glastonbury
Not really a rapper but frank ocean is also amazing
The combination of Kendrick, Bilal, Anna Wise and Thundercat together is just otherworldly.

I was happy as hell to hear K Dot perform Wesley's Theory, my favorite song off of TPAB easily.
Mine too
+Tris A. Underrated. The bass line is so simple, yet so ass kicking. Loved this version. I lost it at 0:39
+TheMetfan81 Man.. that songs revolves around that bass line. Such a good line. the musicians in this are killing it.

fucken same. im meeting him in june and rapping the second verse to him because i think its so great.
He's the best thing to happen to rap music in years!

Kendrick Lamar is probably the only artist that can casually use two bassists
Actually fela kuti did im pretty sure. I think it was two basses or two baritone saxophones he had on the same stage.
One of them is Thundercat. A known artist who works with kendrick heavily. He's got a lot of "wah" to his bass so it's needed in certain songs that only Thundercat can really pull off cause he's got his own crazy bass licks

Drake is nothing compared to Kendrick
And Cole.
KarlJC1411 right, Cole can't compare to kdot
I would say drake and kendrick are the kings of different genres of rap.
Honestly Drake's in the mesosphere
How can u be so happy for a guy u dont even personally know, i love you kendrick shit is crazy man

creativity, open mind, wit, sensitivity, musical genious, and bad ass attitude to make u feel what's real in a way that hits u hard and u don't forget
This is what I look for in a great artist. He’s one of a kind, the revolutionary of hip hop. Goat for me
Witnessing a legend.
This guy is so advance everything he does seems so complex it takes weeks to actually get to the depth of it
That's one of the most amazing performance I have seen. And I have seen a lot. But Kendrick and his band are on another level.
his live performances went from low key underwhelming to just incredibly amazing and that just shows you that nothing won't stop this man, he just keeps getting better and better;
