Rapper Kendrick Lamar found immense success with his “Good Kid M.A.A.D. City” album, and his latest studio album “How to Pimp a Butterfly” is critically acclaimed.
The Compton emcee is clearly making a name for himself in Hip Hop, but he’s seeing firsthand that doesn’t make him immune to some not so pleasurable moments when it comes to performing for different crowds.
Kendrick has performed behind fan favorite Future his last couple of performances, and both times the audience pretty much cleared out during his set.

UB you already said what matters though. Kendrick sells more albums than Future’s hoe a-s. These kids who walked out the concert probably don’t even buy albums. F-ck them and their sh-tty taste in music.
lmao go innnnnn
LOL. Girl yes. Grown people are bumping to J Cole and Kendrick. Let these youngins have Future. Drake is a tossup. He can go either way.
LMBO!
Kendrick has his fan base and Future has his. Kendrick really shouldn’t even be there tbh. I saw that lineup and was confused as to who thought Kendrick would fit. Most of Future’s fans aren’t checking for Kendrick and vice versa.
Hmmm I think it’s a mixture of things. GKMC was everything and even young people loved it. HTPAB wasn’t loved by everybody and he lost a lot of people with it.
I swear this is a lost generation I can’t imagine wanting to listen to Future music over Kendrick I just don’t get it. Truth be told Future, Rich homie quan and Young thug all sound the same to me. I can barely understand what the hell they be saying.
I don’t think young people are here for K dot’s new album. They said he even had to start performing his old stuff because the people who did stay couldn’t vibe to it.
People like what they like.
I was at Made in America and Future was not on the main stage but he brought in a HUGE crowd. I personally, did not want to see him but my man did, so I just just deal with it. J Cole didn’t come up for another two hours but I waited faithfully for him by the main stage. I would have done the same for Kendrick. While, I agree that Future is hot right now, I prefer more substance.
So sad. I hope Kendrick doesn’t let it get to him. A lot of us prefer his music over Future’s. That’s for sure.
It’s the times we’re living in.
He will have longevity and Future won’t.
When it comes to Future and Kenny, one has to pull publicity stunts to sell and still can’t go gold, while the other goes platinum and has a very diverse group of fans. Future will never have the latter.
Trap music is in right now. Kendrick makes timeless music so he has a solid fan base. I just don’t think they would be at that show.
Ain’t most of Kendrick’s fans white anyway? Yeah…
UB y’all cleaned up my comment on the other post and blocked new comments? Why? Let me go in damn LMAO. Y’all are too PC sometimes. Smdh.
Real sh-t I don’t want to hear music for “substance”. I go to class and interact with people for f-ckin substance. Music should take you places you don’t get to go to in your reg life. F-ck Kendrick’s boring a-s, yall dickriding
