LOOK | Bonnaroo 2015: Kendrick Lamar

By Johnny Firecloud

It’s been two years since Kendrick Lamar graced the Bonnaroo stage, and last time he was concisely fierce but intensely humble, even understated. Now, he’s in full bloom. Backed only by a live band, Kendrick took full command of the stage and the ocean of fans roaring along through “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” a rip-roaring version of “Fuckin’ Problems” and “Swimming Pools (Drank)”. But this was all before turning the entire fuckin’ production up to 20 with a triple-shot run through new songs “These Walls,” “King Kunta” and “Alright”.
