Kendrick when he doin an event for Gucci

u/AutoModerator Jun 02 '26

Me shitting my pants and turning them inside out but still wearing them > pi’erres fits. To cut him some slack though he dresses the same as many other rappers with shitty fits who think they have drip. The saddest part is that lots of guys see their shitty fits and think it’s sauce because they have gucci trackpants. Matching yellow jordans to your yellow hoodie with a pair of skinny jeans is absolutely not drip, my guy

u/BeerBellies Jun 02 '26

Honestly, he’s got energy, he’s got charisma. Good for him. But damn if that Riley reference ain’t the most spot on shit.

u/meatbrick Jun 02 '26

And he's actually rapping. There's a backing track but you can tell when he's actually on the mic.

I mean...can I borrow a fry?

u/BilboBaginsehs Jun 03 '26

Exactly what I thought - at least the kid is actually rapping and giving energy to the crowd

u/Successful-Scale-607 Jun 05 '26

Borrow a fry? So you gonna give it back...

u/MediocreDesigner88 Jun 03 '26

You’re wrong about this though. I don’t think that’s really his voice live. Live performers will prerecord a live vocal track (what you’re hearing), so it doesn’t sound like the album, and then blend in a small percentage of their live microphone. So it’s not his live voice you’re hearing at all in this video. It’s unfortunate.

u/Eighty_88_Eight Jun 03 '26

Bruh cmon it stops when he starts jumping around and starts when he puts the mic back to his mouth, and he’s not even saying the words properly because he’s jumping around and breathing heavy, don’t be dumb.

u/MediocreDesigner88 Jun 03 '26

I think you’re wrong and I think this is common practice in live performances now.

u/Apprehensive-Stop142 Jun 03 '26

Please don't procreate

u/smileinursleep Jun 03 '26

Bro you think he gives af about faking his voice. I've seen rappers do this same shit.

u/MediocreDesigner88 Jun 03 '26

ā€œI’ve seen rappers do this same shit.ā€ Yeah, it’s becoming common. I didn’t say he should ā€œgive af about faking his voice,ā€ when I said that it’s unfortunate I meant I prefer to just hear a live vocalist at a live show instead of hearing the backing tracks. I want to fully hear the live microphone of the person on stage even if it sounds bad. And I also resent that artists we pay to see live in concert are secretive about their microphones. That’s my opinion.

u/MoneyManx10 Jun 02 '26

Lowkey, I was suprised at how good his stage presence is.

u/Jbrown183 Jun 02 '26

Yeah dude is better than a lot of these rolling loud performances…watch 2Slimey smh

u/thatG_evanP Jun 03 '26

I made a comment saying that this was sadly one of the best performances I've seen from Rolling Loud

u/witness555 Jun 02 '26

How dare you

u/Geralt-of-Chiraq Jun 02 '26

Fr I thought this shit was impressive lol

u/ItWasAcid_IHope Jun 02 '26

Yeah this is actually one of the more coherent performances I've seen from rolling loud.

u/plutus9 Jun 02 '26

Somewhere right now Jaden smith is crying his eyes out

u/Banana_wax_Salad Jun 02 '26

I was thinking… give him 10 years. If he sticks with it genuinely he could actually be a menace in the game.

u/Sad_Panda8544 Jun 02 '26

he shoulda kept that ai comment to himself now i cant unhear it

u/justatoaster0 Jun 02 '26

/uj lmao it’s literally the first thing I think of whenever I hear about him.

/rj I use AI for my school papers so what if a rapper uses AI too, that’s what I like to call ā€œbeing down with the cultureā€.

u/aqueleponeirosa Jun 02 '26

/uj again: lots of AI problems are symptons of capitalism crumbling and not AI itself, theres lots of articles and studies that show that China for example the population as a whole have a waaaayyy more positive view on AI because it serves to beter life for the people and not the elite

u/Hot-Strength-6003 Jun 02 '26

I also saw an article that talked about how the US is building good AI but nobody knows how to use it so it's just being implemented willy nilly

u/aqueleponeirosa Jun 02 '26

There's no good AI under capitalism unfortunately, while China is building their data centers in the ocean, every other country is poisoning lots of their cities with their data centers just to make some billionaire loads and loads of cash while we laugh at tung tung sahur and shit like that

u/Hot-Strength-6003 Jun 02 '26

By good ai meant capable of stimulating technological growth and potential. The way it is being used is the issue because as you said, they are looking at it aas a cost cutter and a profit maker rather than a tool to be implemented. There are obviously sectors who are applying it correctly but the majority are just throwing poo at the wall

u/aqueleponeirosa Jun 02 '26

That wall is fuuuulllllll of shit lol we are fucked

u/SwordfishOk504 I am weed. Jun 02 '26

Bro you can't say "UJ" and then proceed to drop the biggest jerk ever.

u/fingershanks Jun 02 '26

Is he stuck like this? I swear he should look a little bit older by now. Maybe he really is a cartoon and can't age.

u/lanadelbladee Jun 03 '26

he like 17-18 now, those who are destined to be short for life won’t grow too much, that + the baby face will keep him looking quite young for a good portion of his life.

I always knew Jaden Smith had motion

u/Select_Speed_6061 Jun 02 '26

He actually put on a good show.

u/satanssweatycheeks Jun 02 '26

This is why rap has fallen and isn’t number 1 anymore.

This kid is rapping over his lyrics. That’s already sucker shit and lazy ass performing. Any other genre we’d call that some Ashley Simpson shit. If you are young look her up on SNL.

This isn’t good. This isn’t a hell of a performance. It’s why I respect artist like jpegmafia for example who calls out rappers for doing this when he would never do that corny ass shit.

There is a reason the best hiphop shows I have been to are people who don’t just half ass rap over their vocals. I saw OutKast on their last tour in 2014. Shit was amazing. Killer Mike performed that same festival. Also killed it. No background vocals just them having confidence in their own rap skills.

u/Select_Speed_6061 Jun 03 '26

Not finna reply to all that shit. But alot of rappers do that. I'm 40 bro I know who Ashlee Simpson. I clicked thru all the rappers sets at RL and he was one of the best performers there in a ocean of trash and they all did that (rapping over vocals). The type of artists from my generation aren't gonna happen again. They just built different. Out of the options I saw at RL he put on a good show overall. And Jpegmafia sucks.

u/Direct-Resolution377 Jun 03 '26

Agree. This is terrible.. Not a good vibe at all either..

u/FelineCoffee420 Jun 02 '26

Why he look more like Jayden Smith lol

u/Jwchibi Jun 02 '26

That's not the voice I expected to unmute to

u/arenegadeboss Jun 02 '26

Who shoes that boy got on 🤣

u/UnluckyTomorrow6819 Jun 02 '26

Why are the MP3 vocals louder than his microphone? Isn't the point of a rap festival to hear people rap? I'm guessing the raw vocals sound terrible, but at least he's kinda doing a rap performance and not just jumping around and screaming.

u/New_Unit2009 Jun 02 '26

Grandpa really held him back

u/NotAllDawgsGoToHeven Jun 03 '26

I’m surprised, of all the worthless no name talent there was at rolling loud this year I’m surprised this lil jits music ain’t trash.

u/pandershrek Jun 02 '26

Apparently I hate current hip-hop because this looks like straight up hell.

u/Infinite-Worm Jun 02 '26

Who let this kid onstage?

u/Wonderful-Crazy1910 Jun 02 '26

I mean, at least hes actually performing instead of just dancing around and ad-libbing

u/tone_creature Jun 02 '26

I made way shittier music when I was 17 to be fair haha. No way I was commanding a crowd either.

u/bunkrider Jun 02 '26

Same, this was my dream back in the SoundCloud era

u/Ryno-Mac Jun 02 '26

He's actually pretty good compared to all the shit performance videos I've seen lately

u/Low-Register1602 Jun 02 '26

They really just let anyone on stage now?

u/Large_Complaint1264 Jun 02 '26

Idk who this is but just based on this he actually seems like a good performer. Some of y’all just hate to hate.

u/Direct-Resolution377 Jun 03 '26

No. just because someone doesn't rate at all what you rate, doesn't mean they are hating.Ā  It does mean you're being insecure thoughĀ 

u/cerote6239 Jun 02 '26

Why not? I could rap over a backing track

u/WheelchairEpidemic Jun 02 '26

Oh I’m sure you’d kill it bro lmao

u/cerote6239 Jun 02 '26

Have you seen the other performances at rolling loud? Holy s***. They didn't have working monitors. It sounded like shit. Most of these rappers are a joke live anyways. You never been to a show? Screaching out of breath over their recorded music.

u/Large_Complaint1264 Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 03 '26

Don’t think you appreciate the breath control it takes to do this live.

u/cerote6239 Jun 03 '26

When you aren't rapping over a backing track yeah

u/iLLiCiT_XL Jun 02 '26

Is this AI?

u/Adulations Jun 02 '26

He's actually rapping most of it wow

u/lilfishbowl Jun 05 '26

Game six

u/Fabulous_Mode3952 Jun 03 '26

God damn lil Wayne for popularizing this style of ā€œperformanceā€

u/RileyNonexistent Jun 03 '26

They misspelled his name lol

u/Efficient-Ad6814 Jun 03 '26

Lmao literally. If they ever made a live action he could so play him

u/Equivalent-Dot947 Jun 04 '26

I can’t believe people pay to actually watch this crap.

u/TheBlankestMan Jun 05 '26

Fuck all these gun toting hip gangster wannabes.

u/SnapGoesTheShutter Jun 02 '26

Its the best, what's wrong with little Brian having a street takeover and slanging coke in the burbs? Learn to love it cuz the powers at be are SLAMMING it down the youths throats. Best way to produce slaves for the prison system, its been this way for decades.

u/kursys Jun 03 '26

Fucking A brother

u/SquareHungry9022 Jun 02 '26

You guys are listening to some bs thats crazy.

u/shinysilver7 Jun 02 '26

This was lit. But... Showing my age... If Lil Wayne couldn't cuss til he was 18, I feel some type of way.

Keep that same energy for all the youngins

u/JaytheGreat33 Jun 02 '26

Lil Wayne was talking about murder and sex at like 15…

u/shinysilver7 Jun 02 '26

But couldn't cuss

u/Stoner_Simpson777 Jun 02 '26

His stage presence is great

u/Ireallydfk Jun 02 '26

They already made him real, it’s called Cardi B

u/420-BiomedStockDoc Jun 02 '26

It’s funny when 70 pounds of rappers says they’re gonna disrespect you and it’s just like all right and then what I’m gonna fucking huff and puff and blow you down cause you fucking way less than a paperweight. I swear people fucking give their money to just about anyone. This guy is fucking trash.

u/DontPause-PressPlay Jun 03 '26

Mad nobody will give you money?

u/420-BiomedStockDoc Jun 03 '26

What ? That makes no sense. I just grew up when rap was way better. What we got now is Garbo

u/DontPause-PressPlay Jun 03 '26

Lol no you dont make cents

You just seem jaded.

u/420-BiomedStockDoc Jun 03 '26

lol cool story bro. this is still garbage music and this twig ain’t disrespecting anyone he just saying shit. Like a moron these YNs are something else.

u/Large_Complaint1264 Jun 02 '26

This actually looks likes it was a good set. Prolly better than most of the sets at rolling loud.

u/MoonMistCigs Jun 02 '26

🚮

u/Deviant-Oreo Jun 02 '26

At least he's rapping his bars instead of letting the track play. He's got presence for sure.

u/BandicootLeather6314 Jun 02 '26

Why are there kids preforming at rolling loud? Am I just old af now?

u/DontPause-PressPlay Jun 03 '26

For reference the term Bling Bling was coined by a 16 year old

Kids have always been in the rap game

u/BandicootLeather6314 Jun 03 '26

I understand, and that’s a valid point. My position is pointed toward the venues in which they perform. Kinda like if 13 y/o Justin Bieber performed at the playboy mansion. Some places may be more adult oriented.

u/Corpus_Juris_13 Jun 02 '26

Hip hop is so fucking stupid
