Kendrick Lamar Performs "Poetic Justice" On Kimmel

posted in: Music News

Kendrick Lamar has been on an unstoppable rise since early 2012, and last night he took his continually moving promotional train to the stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live for a performance of his new single, “Poetic Justice.”

Appearing sans Drake, who is responsible 1/3 of the verses on the track, Lamar appeared on Kimmel’s recently redesigned outdoor stage accompanied by a full band (including a kickass saxophonist). It’s always a little hard to gauge the strength of a live performance while sipping coffee at your desk the morning after it happens, but the reaction from the crowd makes it clear no one left disappointed. You can view the performance below.

Rumor has it Lamar’s 2012 effort, good kid, mAAd city, is nearing platinum certification. If you enjoy “Poetic Justice,” click here and give the full album a chance.
