Luckiest Fan in the World Ciphers Onstage With Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar’s Friday night concert at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn was a mix of favorites old (“A.D.H.D.”) and new (“King Kunta”). But one of the highlights was when he brought a fan onstage to rap.
Kendrick called the man up. He asked for a “boom-bap” beat, and then told Lamar to “throw some words at me,” a nod to a freestyling trick the Compton rapper frequently performs.
Surprisingly for the man (and basically everyone else involved), Kendrick let the segment go on for almost two and a half full minutes, throwing word prompts and trading bars with the obviously ecstatic fan, who also did double duty as hype man while Lamar was rapping.
You can see the segment above, and watch the entire concert below (the fan segment starts at around the 25:30 mark).
Fans were delighted by the surprisingly fun moment.
