The person who coined the phrase, “all you need is love,” didn’t meet Kendrick Lamar. Although the “Euphoria” rapper receives more than enough praises from fans and peers alike, users online have joked that he’s currently running off of his pure hatred of Drake.
Today (June 22), Kendrick was spotted in his hometown Compton, California, reportedly filming a music video for “Not Like Us.”
Despite being filmed in the public, details surrounding the video shoot have remained under wraps. However, if it is anything like his June 19 show, you should expect to see tons of guest cameos from across industries, including the song’s producer Mustard, Kendrick’s former Black Hippy collaborators (Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Schoolboy Q), basketball stars LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and DeMar DeRozan, plus so many others.
Of course, none of this has been confirmed, but that hasn’t stopped folks from wishing for it. Users online have also speculated that YG is set to appear in the visual after he posted clips with controversial podcaster Bobbi Althoff in the city.
As of today, the video’s release date hasn’t been shared with the public. But given the speedy turn around of the song, it won’t be vaulted much longer.
Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest artists in the world, and when he speaks, the fans listen. Overall, many of his supporters have been waiting for some kind of statement ever since his beef against Drake. Although he won the beef in the eyes of the majority, fans have wanted a bit of a debrief. Well, they may just get that tonight as Kendrick is hosting a huge concert at the KIA Forum in Inglewood. The show is called “The Pop Out – Ken & Friends,” which is a promising name for what could be the biggest hip-hop event of the year.
Yesterday, DJ Hed revealed the set times for the event. The first set will take place at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST. This set will consist of DJ Hed and some of his friends. Subsequently, DJ Mustard and friends will take to the stage at 4:45 PM PST/7:45 PM EST. Lastly, Kendrick Lamar will be performing at 5:45 PM PST/8:45 PM EST. This promises to be a massive performance, and with tickets selling out in seconds, you can just feel the hype from hip-hop fans.
Even if you can’t attend the show in person, you can still watch it for free. If you have a subscription to Prime Video, you can watch the event live, as of 4 PM PST/7 PM EST. However, don’t worry if you can’t access Prime. The show will also be available for free over on Twitch at the Amazon Music channel.
Let us know if you have plans to attend the concert, in the comments section down below. Who do you think Kendrick Lamar is going to bring out during the show? Who would you like to see pop out during this once-in-a-lifetime event? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Today, Rotation, the hip-hop and R&B brand from Amazon Music, announced it will stream Kendrick Lamar’s sold-out concert, “The Pop Out – Ken & Friends,” from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Juneteenth (June 19). The event, presented by pgLang and Free Lunch, will start at 4 p.m. PT and will be available on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video.
This livestream is part of “Forever the Influence,” Amazon Music’s celebration of Black Music Month. The initiative honors the contributions of Black artists, producers, and songwriters who have shaped cultural landscapes. In the coming weeks, Amazon Music will unveil additional Amazon Music Originals and video content featuring influential Black artists for “Forever the Influence.”
The Juneteenth concert by Kendrick Lamar promises an unforgettable experience, bringing together fans from around the world to celebrate the holiday through music. Lamar, known for his powerful lyrics and dynamic performances, will headline this significant event, showcasing his immense talent and influence in the music industry.
The last several years have made the act of livesteaming essential, especially as global events caused more and more people to trade IRL experiences for the comfort and safety of their homes. But for many, this is a welcomed innovation in the live music space that gives access to those who might not normally be able to witness many events. Whether it is physical conditions, mental health, financial obstacles, or just proximity, livestreaming allows more people to participate in live music than ever before, truly meeting the audience on their own terms.
Among those leading the charge in this space is Amazon Music, who last weekend made their first endeavor into Mexico as the exclusive partner of Vive Latino. Vive Latino is one of Mexico’s premiere music festivals, differentiating itself with its emphasis on home-grown talent, rock bands, and international touring forces. It’s a partnership that goes beyond reaching fans already immersed in Latin culture, especially as Latin music has become mainstream pop culture over the last several years. It has never made more sense than to bring artists like Maná and Belanova to living rooms around the world and should signal the beginning of similar global reaches from streaming giants.
On the ground in Mexico City, the livestreaming infrastructure stretches to both the festival grounds and backstage. A compound next to the Amazon Music stage played host to artist interviews and exclusive content that punctuated the broadcast. While the viewers tune in to relatively seamless steams of performances and interviews, backstage, it can often be a surprise to see which artists pop in to chat after their set, with hosts Pame Voguel, Gerudito, Nicole Horts, Leos, Maria Letona, and Miguel Solis all ready for whoever and whatever comes their way.
One of the coolest aspects of the streaming endeavor, and one that I hadn’t witnessed before, was through the partnership with JBL, where attendees could be loaned out headphones and tune into other stages for the livestream. If you were enjoying the VIP cabanas and didn’t want to give up your spot to catch Future Islands on the other side of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the livestream provided an accommodating middle ground, giving an attendee access to stages without having to move an inch. It was the first time that I’d considered livestreaming being not just for those who couldn’t attend Vive Latino, but also a resource for those on the grounds.
Of course, Amazon Music isn’t the only major player in this space. YouTube has made Coachella home viewing an annual event, where now nearly any music fan can have a take on today’s hottest artists without having to navigate the literal heat of the Coachella Valley. Lollapalooza recently partnered with Hulu to give their festival a home presence. And one can only imagine that other streamers will find their way into the same game, with events that pair well with their audience.
On Amazon Music’s side, they’ve already made serious headway into the space, with broadcasts including Vibra Urbana in Miami USA, Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Madrid, Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, and Coachella’s country cousin, Stagecoach Festival. And the move into Latin America is a significant one, as artists from the region have become some of the most recognizable not only in the US but around the world. And with a number of ways to meet fans where they are — the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, Prime Video, or on the Amazon Music app — livestreaming a music festival has never been more intuitive.
Will livestreaming take a bite into the IRL experience of going to festivals and concerts? That feels hard to imagine, especially as you witness the massive audiences that turned up for artists like Fito Páez and Hobres G on the festival’s biggest stage. Anecdotally, Coachella has never had a problem with attendance despite years of livestreaming, with this year’s slower sales coming more from a talent standpoint than accessibility. Nothing really compares to seeing your favorite artists in person, surrounded by similar-minded fans, singing along as loud as possible. But livestreaming isn’t trying to recreate that. It provides additional access points for people who need them. It’s allowing fans a taste of an event that they might try to actually visit the next year. It’s using the capabilities of massive tech companies in innovative ways so that music spreads as far and wide as possible.

Kaytranada In a prelude to Grammy Week, Amazon Music set the stage on fire with its ’24 Lot Party. The star-studded soirée brought together luminaries from the realms of music and entertainment.

As partygoers reveled in the festivities, the celebration extended beyond the dance floor to the unveiling of Studio126. A haven for artists, executives, and creatives alike. The venue dazzled with its spatial audio mixing and recording studios, podcast rooms, screening areas, listening spaces, and merch. Furthermore, following in the footsteps of artist spaces in Tokyo, Berlin, and Brooklyn, Studio126 stands as a testament to Amazon Music’s dedication to providing cutting-edge resources for artists globally.
Moreover, as Grammy Week gains momentum, Amazon Music’s ’24 Lot Party not only set the tone for a week of celebrations but also showcased the platform’s commitment to nurturing innovation and creativity within the music industry.

Busta Rhymes was torn between Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole while rounding out his picks for the greatest rappers of all time. During an appearance on Amazon Music’s +44 Podcast, Busta explained that Cole releasing more music than Kendrick keeps him in the race. Other names he listed include himself, Rakim, Nas, and Eminem.
“Greatest rapper ever? I don’t think I have one,” Busta said. “I could say five. Rakim. Some might disagree with me but Nas. I would say Eminem. I’m starting to feel like there some new guys that are starting to go into that list to me. I’m almost there with J. Cole but I’m still torn between him and Kendrick. I’m talking about only bars! If Kendrick was to get active in the same way that Cole is being active, it would be a way different conversation but again, I’m torn between Cole and Kendrick, but it would be one of them two.”

From there, Busta continued: “I still didn’t put none of them two in the fourth place. I was just saying that it was gonna be a new guy cause they are really starting to really earn their right to passage and to be in the top 5 greatest of all time to me. I would definitely say Jay-Z. I’m Biggie-biased. I’m Biggie biased because I think what he has done between two albums everybody obviously had an opportunity to work way longer than him and they still can’t top what he has done in two albums. I think that’s my list.” Check out his full comments on the topic below.
Cole and Kendrick have been competing for their place among the best rappers in the game for years at this point. They’ve even discussed making a collaborative album together, even though it never came to fruition. Be on the lookout for further updates on Busta Rhymes on HotNewHipHop.
