Kendrick Lamar’s scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon went down as planned this morning (January 8) and even packed a surprise for viewers who eagerly tuned in.
The To Pimp a Butterfly scribe debuted a new record which served as the predecessor to his Colbert Report-premiered “Untitled” that also happens to fall in the same vein as his latest Grammy nominated album.
“Two tears in a bucket, I cry with you/But I could never lie to you/I could never afford not to afford/I could never put my plans to the side with you/I could never see a red light/Like a deer with the headlight/I freeze up when I re-up,” Lamar passionately rapped at the track’s opening, which continuously built up emotion as it neared the crescendo.
Like the song before it, “Untitled 2” most likely won’t be released in studio format so fans should soak up the live performance with every viewing.
Watch K. Dot perform “Untitled 2” below.
Artist and MC
Amazing but he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
so hes supposed to wear gold chains and bullshit designers? Nah, hes keeping it 100
quit hatin’
He’s bein’ himself. Let him be himself.
Shout out to King Kendrick great performance! One of the humblest dudes in the game… B Healthy y’all
Like I said b 4. Haters will swallow their own shyt. Nigga b lit 4 real! Lets Go! King Kunta!
No other artist in the past 10 years besides Lupe moves me like this! Kendrick is phenomenal. Gives me hope that you can still be mainstream Hip Hop with a conscience
Highly agree.
This definitely deserves a “First Listen Reaction” editorial. This song literally get’s greater by the second.
I actually totally…I’ve watched the clip about 5-6x and every time I hear a new bar, entendre, the band was JAMMING! The performance is A-1!

Incredible! Cornrow Kenny is the best in the game right now hands down. This is how it should be done. Salute to King Kendrick!
Shit isn’t even fair! Kid is on another planet
Kendrick never disappoints! God bless this soul!
Salute, we need people like kendrick, lupe, logic, joey badass, jcole and big krit to keep hiphop alive. Hiphop is still alive because of these people
i think joey badass has a little more maturing to do but hes definitely got talent. but this statement is the most promising statement ive ever seen on hhdx
PREACH
Thank you for your comment. I couldn’t agree more. Krit, Joey, Lupe, Cole, and K Dot are definitely holding it down for true Hip Hop. I haven’t listened to enough Logic yet but I can definitely appreciate the message in what I’ve heard already.
That was fuckin amazing.
Best rapper alive. Easy
Shit Siccccccccccc! The Best out NOW
Mannn….dat Kendrick iz tha bomb.
I swear, when he speaks, I listen. The only rapper that makes me actually think. His words move me in a way that’s hard to describe, it’s like a sermon, or a beautiful monologue every bar, truly the Pac of our generation
the best alive ..you aint gotta tell him he is THE ONE!!
