      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".

    the way Kendrick has evolved is amazing to see. the way he's developed into a showman is nuts. putting on a production and a show. incorporating choreography and performance, he's really honing into his own personal brand of artistry and creativity beyond just Hip-Hop's "savior messiah" figure.

    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.

    One thing is so fascinating about Kendrick Lamar is that his censoring of words is impeccable talent. 🐐

    One of the few rap artists that actually surpasses the brilliance of the studio version of his songs when performing them live. I saw this dude 2012 or 2013 in Germany on his Good Kid Mad City tour and am beyond impressed by his development as an artist. He is a living legend, without a doubt.
