Kendrick Lamar Performs "Alright" at High Tech HS (June 2015) 

Thank you, this was a great performance

dude this is insane i didnt know this type of stuff happened.. im in the school now but damn if only

Chill, bro. Peep the date. 'Alright' and 'To Pimp a Butterfly' had been released just a few months ago. By that time, folks were still digesting it.

I’d end it all

man i feel sad for someone whom i dont even know 😂

Bros gonna need to take anti depressant pills

there’s a comment above you saying they were actually absent

Id take all the benadryp

someone right under this comment say he was absented lol

Plus the album had just came out

@@CalebHemphill24 it had been two months. All the diehard fans already knew the song by heart. But it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of them, which makes sense since its at a school, with random people

Thank you

@@Rex88808 bruh its High Tech some of the smartest nerdiest kids there

Drake, 21 Savage, Rae Scremmurd and more performed at Spelhouse Homecoming (HS in Atlanta) a month or so ago

@@elliott.wootton That's awesome

@@elliott.wootton lil nas x performed old town road at an elementary school and got the whole 2nd grade to say "LEAN ALL IN MY BLADDER"

@@helenkouts9772 wtf💀

agreed

School didn’t book Kendrick Kendrick booked the school

He wanted to do this

@@johndeerex7589 L

A guy said it above me, but Kendrick actually chose to go to this school. The guy who uploaded this video, Brian Mooney, is an English teacher who incorporated hip-hop which included To Pimp a Butterfly in his curriculum. There's a good NPR Music video about it.

kendrick came to the school because he saw a blog post from Brian Mooney (the dude who uploaded)

@Tisutah but he is my king

@@plokoon100 what?

@@plokoon100 there teenagers

F u

Smaller more intimate venue, def just rapping in his normal cadence unlike how he would be at a massive festival or arena

Imagine if Kendrick had a rumor like Paul McCartney

nahhh stay home with ebola dawg 💀 💀

Talk about a sick show

I was looking for this comment hahaha

🤣🤣🤣 useless police

damn bro we were born in the wrong generation reddit moment

yeah its like they think the experience only matters or becomes real when its being recorded

@@Ryan-op7yd straight up you sound like a bitch which means you're probably the only redditor here :P

They can’t be high energy the whole time if anything it’s out of respect for him showing that it was lit

Damn 😢

Dang I woulda killed myself if I was abdent

@@marcarcookz9760 I woulda missed him anywais i had nightschool in that building i believe he went in the morning

i would kms

@@thomassavage6900 Kinda felt like it.. but woulda missed him anywais..

No American school is 6pm to 9pm Cappin ass

exactly

it's so sad what a wasted opportunity to enjoy it in the moment

dude the album had just come out and its like 1pm in a school gym let the kids live

@@justuswaffles7032 The kids in the video aren't living; they all look miserable because all they think they should do is film everything

@Anna nah, it's problematic af. If I was a performer working my ass off and I knew my performance wasn't something people enjoyed in the moment but just another commodity they could turn into their own content for the social media machine I'd be pretty disappointed. I've been to a Kendrick Lamar performance, it's ridiculous how people would run and push and shove to be near the stage only to film THE ENTIRE FUCKING THING, not at all able to enjoy the fact that a legend was so close to them irl. And the reaction to him filming them shows exactly what it was really about for them. It went from: "I'm filming this so I can post this later." To: "OMFG HE'S FILMING US, WHEN HE POSTS THIS LATER I CAN TAG FRIENDS IF I CAN POINT MYSELF OUT ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA 😭😭😭😭!!!" It's fucking bullshit, people reduce incredible moments like these to content farming opportunities...

Same bro like I’d run up on stage I’d push everyone outta the way

non stop jizzing thru his performance

CREAMING?

@@majestyy4 did he stutter?

same I would be creaming on and in everyone

Literal npc

What if now hear me out... They recorded it for the memories

@@shikashii no, they're most likely posting to post it on social media for likes

@@repentorendupinhellfire6270 literally just for clout lol

*high school students

it's their decision lol. you can record a concert and enjoy it at the same time. why is this comment section filled with 16 year old redditors

police are here to protect just some are crooked. just like teachers are here to teach but a lot be r@ping and molesting.

@LLAMAZANAI the institution of policing is only protecting the rich and the powerful by enforcing a status quo via gunpoint. Can't protest peacefully against climate change if you have guns pointed in your face 😉
