April 27, 2015

Kendrick Lamar threw out the first pitch at Monday night’s Dodgers game against the Giants, and unlike 50 Cent’s flailing nightmare from last year, K-dot fared fairly well.

Lamar’s hometown Dodger love goes beyond the mound, as fans will recognize he rocked a hat for the team in his “King Kunta” video. Watch him throw below.
