Last week, Kendrick Lamar hosted his highly anticipated "Pop Out" show at the Forum in LA, where he was joined by various special guests. YG, Jay Rock, Tyler, the Creator, and many more made appearances. Dr. Dre even kicked off "Not Like Us," which Kendrick went on to perform several times.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of fans were tuned in for the historic show, which took place on Juneteenth. It was also Kendrick's first performance since his viral rap feud with Drake and was the first time fans got to hear live versions of his chart-topping diss tracks. As a result, everyone involved saw a huge boost in their streaming numbers, according to Billboard. Streams for "Not Like Us," for example, increased by 62% in the three days after the eagerly awaited event.

Black Hippy's onstage reunion also appears to have been a fan favorite, as all members saw a massive uptick in streams in the three days after the show. Ab-Soul was up by 44%, Jay Rock by 45%, and ScHoolboy Q by 31%. Kendrick's catalog altogether saw an increase of 31%. Fortunately, he has something exciting on the way once again, as he was recently spotted filming a music video for "Not Like Us" in Compton. It's unclear exactly when fans can expect to see it, though it's believed to feature several special guests.

  • FAT JOE & E-40 TO JOIN PRESIDENT BIDEN AT NORTH CAROLINA RALLY FOLLOWING DEBATE

FAT JOE & E-40 TO JOIN PRESIDENT BIDEN AT NORTH CAROLINA RALLY FOLLOWING DEBATE

Fat Joe and E-40 are set to appear at a rally in North Carolina alongside President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden this week.

On Thursday (June 27), the 81-year-old Democrat will debate Donald Trump in the lead-up to the presidential election later this year.

A day after the CNN-hosted event, the commander-in-chief will head over to Raleigh and join the two rappers, who one of his campaign officials has referred to as “legends of the music industry, who understand the importance of utilizing their platforms to ensure their fan base understands the stakes of this election.”

Earlier this year, Fat Joe and Kamala Harris got together to discuss the legal repurcussions of marijuana possession. In mid-March, the rapper moderated a closed-door meeting with the vice president, Kentucky governor Andy Beshear and a number of people who have been pardoned for previous weed-related convictions.

“This issue is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin,” Harris said during the public-facing part of the event. “Marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl, which is absurd. Not to mention patently unfair.”

About the discussion, Joey Crack told the press: “When the vice president calls me, I stop everything.”

In related news, the Terror Squad boss recently made a case for himself after purchasing a pair of Donald Trump’s new shoes.

During an Instagram Live stream in February, the “Lean Back” hitmaker insisted that works of art stand by themselves, regardless of the politics of the people behind them. According to him, it’s no different with the former president, who he also openly disavowed.

“If you collect art, do you really know what [Jean-Michel] Basquiat was into?” he began. “Do you know what Andy Warhol was into? Any of these artists that you was into? You love the art, so you get it. I guess they separate art from the person.

“Now, me as a sneaker collector, I had to get my hand on the Trumps […] But listen, I have thousands and thousands and thousands of pairs of sneakers. When everybody flipped on Kanye [West], I went and bought the two most exclusive Kanyes ever.”

He then clarified: “Once again, I’m not a Trumper. I dislike Trump. I’m not voting for him — not now, not never — but I’m a sneaker collector into the art.”
