Kendrick Lamar Unites LA Communities at Juneteenth 'The Pop Out: Ken & Friends' Concert in Inglewood

Kendrick Lamar's Juneteenth concert, 'The Pop Out: Ken & Friends,' at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, was a monumental celebration of West Coast hip-hop, featuring appearances from Dr. Dre, YG, ScHoolboy Q, and Jay Rock, among others. The event, streamed live on platforms like Amazon Prime and Twitch, highlighted Lamar's ongoing feud with Drake, particularly through multiple performances of his diss track 'Not Like Us.' The show also paid tribute to LA legends Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle, uniting fans, celebrities, and even rival gang members in a display of community solidarity. NBA stars Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and LeBron James, despite his previous friendship with Drake, were present, adding to the event's significance. The concert, characterized by its high production quality and emotional resonance, underscored Lamar's dominance in the hip-hop scene.
