In his latest show called “The Pop Out,” Kendrick Lamar did something that culture will forever be grateful. Kendrick reunited Black Hippy at Kia Forum in Los Angeles and this moment was definitely for the core TDE fans. He reunited his rap supergroup that formed in 2008 and consisted of ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. It was also great moment for Shady/Aftermath as Kendrick invited Westside Boogie to sing “Not Like Us” with him.
Kendrick Lamar also brought out the one and only Dr. Dre. As if the show hadn’t packed enough punch the Kia Forum almost lost its top as Dr. Dre appeared next to Kendrick and the recognizable cords of “Still D.R.E.” grabbed the attention of the audience. The rap legend knew exactly what the people wanted and then went into “California Love”. But before he could leave the stage Kendrick asked him a favor. Dre whisper “psssss….I see dead people,” an intro to “Not Like Us” and the room exploded.
Kendrick performed “Not Like Us” five times! You heard it right, FIVE TIMES and during one of the performances, he called our boy Westside Boogie to perform the song shoulder to shoulder. “Bro, I’m finna cry.” tweeted Boogie on which Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg replied “GO BOOGIE!”
