Yahoo News I Nearly Broke A Lung Laughing At These 58 Hilarious Reactions To Kendrick Lamar's "The Pop Out: Ken And Friends"
Last night, Kendrick Lamar united Los Angeles rappers and the internet for a Juneteenth concert dubbed "The Pop Out: Ken and Friends." The performance — which was livestreamed for viewers at home on Amazon Prime — featured moments from artists like Tyler, the Creator, Dr. Dre, Roddy Ricch, YG, an honor to the late Nipsey Hussle, and more.
Between surprise appearances and iconic moments like Dr. Dre introducing Kendrick's now infamous diss track by whispering the intro "I see dead people" into the mic before a beat drop and K. Dot rounding "Not Like Us" back SIX TIMES, the one-night event was truly a moment in rap history. And the internet couldn't agree more. Here are some of the best reactions:
