    Wonder if he and pharrell started working again on the next album

    All of their collabs on Kendrick's albums are distinct than each other and they are soul of the respective albums too.

    That was great. I've seen him 7 times across 10 years and I don't think anything will unseat Kunta Groove, that was a legendary moment I'll remember for the rest of my life, but this was probably second best.

    It was better than DAMN for sure. Longer show, better stage setup and choreography. The balance of bangers and emotionally reflective tracks was better too. It's really staggering how many hits he has at this point because it felt like two songs couldn't pass without a huge hit.

    This being an LA show, it was obviously a high energy crowd. Two guys behind me were screaming their heads off and having the time of their lives. They knew every word, including the Mr Morale stuff. The whole crowd was wild, Money Trees was f***ing deafening where I was.

    Funny enough, and this really surprises me, it was Keem who put it over the top for me. Incredible energy and perfect placement in the set. Right when I was getting REALLY emotional after Alright and Mirror (anyone who knows what I've been through this year knows that Mirror is my theme song right now), Silent Hill plays. Then Keem comes out the f***ing ground and Kendrick screams HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PUNCHED IN YOUR MOTHER F***ING FACE at him and I can't stop grinning. It's just so stupid and perfect. Range Brothers and Family Ties went f***ing off. Infinitely better than the way features were used on the DAMN tour. The way they balance out the emotional intensity of the Mr Morale songs is so great.

    I'm a day one, as far as superstar Kendrick goes. I heard Section.80 before he had hits, I saw Swimming Pools live before it was ever released, I saw him grow from a small festival act into one of the biggest stars in music, and what's really unbelievable is that he keeps getting better as a performer. It looks so effortless for him now and you go to his shows to experience the brute force of his fanbase screaming his songs while they're blasted out of the loudspeaker. I'm so glad I got to see Kunta Groove because show this isn't that. It's a play, just like the album. And like the album, it's f***ing great.

    Ten years after the first time I saw him, and 7 concerts later, I still get hype to BDKMV, Money Trees, Alright, DNA, etc like it's the first time. Mans got classics on classics and I'm going to be annoying my kid with stories about these shows years from now when Kendrick is seen as overplayed dad rap.

    Yup. Summed it up perfectly. This was my first Kendrick show since moving to LA (4th time seeing him overall) and I was blown back at the energy from the crowd. Personally this one ranks 3rd for me only because I was very very close to the stage for kuntas groove sessions and for the damn tour but I'd fasho put it at #1 if we talking about everything else. Idk how he can keep his energy up night after night like that for how long the show is. Crazy

    mirror becoming one of my favorite songs, months after the album dropped

    One of his best closers. It’s been my theme song this year as I’ve prioritized my own needs and growth. Mr Morale dropped at exactly the right time and I’ve heard a lot of other people say that as well.
