Kendrick Lamar performs Drake diss track five times


Kendrick Lamar hosted a star-studded concert in Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Wednesday, intended as a show of unity for the West Coast rap fraternity.

More than 20 musicians made guest appearances, including Dr Dre, Roddy Ricch, Ty Dolla $ign, Tyler The Creator and Steve Lacy.

But the highlight of the night was the live debut of Lamar's song Not Like Us - an eviscerating take-down of Canadian star Drake, which brought their long-running feud to a decisive end last month.

Encouraged by the crowd, Lamar played the song five times, with each performance more explosive than the last.

"Y’all ain’t gonna let nobody disrespect the West Coast, huh?" he asked, as the set drew to a close.

"Oh y’all ain’t gonna let nobody mock or imitate our legends, huh?", he added, referring to Drake's decision to use AI versions of Tupac and Snoop Dogg's vocals on his song, Taylor Made Freestyle.

  Eagles Mauler Red Devils: Selhurst Park Erupts as Crystal Palace Crush Manchester United A dominant Crystal Palace display at Selhurst Park left Manchester United red-faced and manager Erik ten Hag clinging to his job by a thread. The 4-0 thrashing piles on the pressure for the Dutchman, raising serious questions about his suitability for the role as the club undergoes a summer rebuild under new ownership. From the opening whistle, the home side asserted their dominance, controlling possession and dictating the tempo. Michael Olise, a constant thorn in United's side throughout the night, opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Cutting inside Casemiro with a dazzling display of footwork, Olise slotted the ball home with composure, sending the home faithful into a frenzy. United's defense, a recurring weak spot this season, crumbled under sustained Palace pressure. Jean-Philippe Mateta continued his impressive home form, capitalizing on a gaping hole in the backline to unleash

Many students remained to listen to Seinfeld's speech, even offering
