First Kendrick educates the world with his new album, now he’s working on global fitness, making everyone jog as they listen. The Compton rapper took to Twitter last night, cryptically asking his followers to meet him on Sunset Boulevard, and according to all accounts, by 9:30pm a sizeable crowd had gathered, surrounded by a motorcycle police unit.
It was at this point – and this will make you want to tattoo #FOMO on your forehead – that an 18 wheeler emerged through the crowd, revealing Lamar and his full band. Opening with “Money Trees”, it seems that the set was largely Good Kid focused, despite To Pimp a Butterfly being promoted on the side of the truck. That aside all the footage indicates a pretty banging on-road rap set.

Which moves us on to the real highlight of the evening. If you are as jealous as I am, of everyone who was able to see one of the greatest musicians of our time perform from the back of a moving vehicle on the sunset strip, then here’s something to laugh at, because, though the truck was moving slowly, it was still clocking what looked like about 10mph. This meant instead of just walking, the entire crowd were forced pick up this brilliant half jog/run/dance that looks a bit like the whole of America missing a bus at once. Enjoy.
