More on Kendrick Lamar's ‘The Pop Out: Ken & Friends’ concert setlist tracks
As noted in the setlist above, Kendrick Lamar started the concert with the first of his four diss tracks, Euphoria, performing it to a crowd that sang alongside him throughout the song.
The singer, dressed similarly to an appearance Tupac Shakur made in 1994, in jeans, a white tee, and a red hoodie, also introduced new lyrics into the song:
"Give me Tupac ring back, and I might give you a little respect."
The lyrics appear to be a dig at Drake for purchasing Tupac's ring, which the late rapper wore in his last appearance. Drake reportedly bought the ring for $1,016,000 during his tour with 21 Savage.
After Euphoria, Kendrick Lamar performed a rapid succession of his hit tracks before Jay Rock joined him for the songs Money Trees, Win, and King's Dead. This was followed by a live debut of Lamar's second Drake diss track, 6:16 In LA with Ab‐Soul. The track gave way to a performance with Schoolboy Q on Collard Greens and That Part.
Kendrick Lamar once again performed on his own for the four tracks of King Kunta, M.A.A.D. City, Humble, and Like That, before joining Dr. Dre in performing California Love and Still D.R.E.
The last track, part of Lamar's diss track against Drake, was performed by the singer on his own twice, once with Dr. Dre, one time with DJ Mustard, and one time with guests Big Boi, Steve Lacy, YG, Black Hippy and so on.
